    Question - PRN pay and ambulatory specialties you like :)

    potatoz replied to potatoz's topic in Nursing Career

    It's comforting to me to read that it's possible to make a living from per diem ? There is less security but the flexibility that comes with it is very attractive. I'm hoping to have several PRNs a...

    potatoz posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Fellow Nurses, I became a RN a year ago. I did impatient nursing for 6 months before quitting because my mental health suffered tremendously. Currently I'm doing outpatient nursing at an...

    potatoz replied to potatoz's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you. My current role focuses on a single specialty and the opportunity for growth is limited. I was hoping to broaden my horizon by learning other specialties. Thank you for your comment

    I haven't received mine either and I did my POPA before your date ?. There's that welcoming thing on the 22nd so if I haven't received mine by then I'll just ask them in

    It should be fine, especially if your results were always negative. My case is a bit more complicate but I had no issues during my appointment. I think if you did needed something (2nd step or...

    Well done! I had the same number of questions and was shocked at how many SATAs there were ?. I did and got the good pop-up the same day, and the next day I went to nursys to check if I was assigned a...

    You got this! I graduated in Summer and already did my NCLEX. I only used UWorld and didn't even finish 1000 questions, my average wasn't the greatest :) But I did perform great on the actual NCLEX ?...

    Do you have the contact for the HR? I would ask: 1. Is there any way it can be in another department? 2. If not, how long would it take until there is a chance to be moved to the day shift?...

    Don’t quote me on this but I think the ratio for MS is 1:3-4 (but most often 3 from what I read). With Mayo’s low ratio it’ll be safer for both patient and nurses. Probably lowers the chances of...

    Yea sure ? oh, but know that Mayo (or at least my department) doesn’t have CNA’s and only 1-2 PCT’s covering multiple units in one floor. However the nurse:patient ratios are low, so it’s...

    I worked there for the Summer externship. I've never worked in any hospital setting before so I can't compare it, but I really enjoyed the experience ? One thing that stood out to me was...

    Good luck on your HESI and NCLEX! If you haven’t reserved a day and place for your NCLEX, please do so quick as they fill up fast. I reserved a testing spot and then made a study schedule...

    My first and second choice was ER and PCU. I was surprised to see that there was no ER or ICU in the options list that they showed me during the 2nd interview. Especially because during their...

    Correct ? the “official offer call” some weeks from now should tell you the unit and shift. This phone call was just a “fyi, congratulations you got in” call, which I appreciate ? Rather...

    I got a call saying that I got in, but there are no details of what department or what shift. They said to expect a call with an offer from HR in the coming weekS. I still think the call will...

    I was reading this thread and found out about it (page 6). I was rushing to get into nursing school quickly, had I been faster I probably would've graduated in 2020 as well ?. And yes the vaccine,...

    Haha I hope! And yes I know that feeling! My interview was days ago but I still think about what I could've said differently, I also remember interventions that I couldn't think of at the spot....

    Around half an hour for me, including me asking questions at the end. It was mostly prioritization questions and at the end they ask you the units you are interested in. Good luck
