What state are you in? I ask because a couple of things come to mind depending on your location.

If it's a 24/7 on call type deal don't ever take a base salary unless it is an astronomical offer $$$$$. Otherwise you will making what most hourly people make, possibly SLIGHTLY more, and working endless hours per week. Trust me, it isn't worth it. ...

I would never really try to tell someone how to eat, most of my friends and my wife have diets where they don't watch what they eat, however my diet is on the opposite end of the spectrum as yours, maybe or maybe not to an extreme, IDK. I have a...

I know discussing salary is looked down upon, so I have been reluctant to discuss it with my co workers. But I need some help with figuring out a fair salary. I have never been salaried before, so I am unsure of what to ask for. I calculated my hourl...

So, I will try not to get specific about what is going on, but give enough background to hopefully help answer my question. Essentially I don't know if I should resign or wait and see what happens. I had a "meeting" with Human Resources the other da...

Thanks for the reply. If I resign via email I will not go in to the meeting because they're using the meeting as the method to fire, so I'm worried about them firing me before I resign. Either way it's a crappy situation, when I talk about getting fi...

I do not, no one.

They haven't let me know this in any form whatsoever, or even let on to that its a possibility, even though I know it is. Is it too late to send an email with my resignation?

Have you done anything with the computer information management degree? Just curious as I was considering a similar degree before completion of my ADN, however I could never find out much information about the day to day tasks associated with the deg...

Has it been confirmed yet if this started with consumption of a snake or a bat? I have heard both in different articles, but wasn't sure if they ever confirmed or denied one or the other. It seems likely that this also could have originated from the ...

Would they pay for two/three nurses who don't live there and come care for him in shifts? Say they did like a 6a-6p and a 6p-6a. In that situation no nurses would have to live there. If the insurance company would pay for 24 hour care, and they just ...

We get about 16 hours of paid time off per month, no 401k, no additional sick days other than your paid time off hours, no pension, insurance was free last year, but this year it is 25 bucks every two weeks for the lowest tier, which isn't very good,...

As a newer nurse I have a goal of getting experience in a specialty and potentially traveling in the future. I just accepted a job offer in med-surg so that will be where I start out at. In looking at travel jobs on several sites, I have noticed OR ...

From my understanding it seems like a pretty good school from talking to the students, challenging like any good nursing school, tests weekly which I'm sure is the norm. Seems like they have a good amount of clinical opportunities that we did not get...

just any general info? I went to Metro CC, not Methodist, but I have met a lot of nurses who did attend Methodist and at my job we have Methodist students who come to shadow or do clinicals here in our group home setting. Because of this I have spoke...

I quit a job that I did three 12s at for a job with five 8s, mostly for the reason of just being able to actually DO something on the days that I work. I like to go to the gym 6 days a week. Working 12s does not allow for that opportunity, you have t...

Just out of curiosity may I ask what you do? Responding to the OP, I would say my job is also very low stress. I work with the DD population in a group home setting and its very chill. Most days you just hang out with the residents who live in the h...

I have been reading a lot on the forums and other websites lately talking about how NP positions are oversaturated in a lot of areas of the country. Other areas seem like they still have a fair amount of demand for NPs. Is anyone familiar with a res...

Wow, we have the oppositite problem at my workplace. We won't fire anyone. They could literally be written up 15 times for the same thing and we will refuse to take action, we are also an at will state...back on topic, you sound like a reliable perso...

Thanks, wow Orange County would be a dream if the pay is good enough to make up for it. (And maybe living within a couple of minutes from your job to avoid traffic hehe), Thanks.

Just out of curiosity is this a utilization review type of job, or what exactly is it classified as? Good Luck!!

What setting do you work in? I am just curious as I also reside in Omaha and I found a lot of jobs as a new grad that advertised starting out between $28-30/hour.

Well, get ready for quite the change of scenery... I live one state over in Nebraska but I used to live at Lake of the Ozarks for 4-5 years, which is about an hour south of Columbia. Columbia isn't too bad of a town thanks in large part to the Univer...

Hello all, I have two main questions of concern that at this time are things I am wondering about before continuing my goal to become an NP. The first question is what do you all feel like is the most still in demand area of NP, FNP, Geriatrics, Ped...

Wow, great reply and thank you so much for the information, that is a big help to get me started. One additional question stemming from your reply is in regards to the questions I need to ask myself such as if I am willing to move, or if I want part...
