Nurses Jobs questions and answers

Got questions about Nurses Jobs, well we've got the answers at Nursing Online Learning.

Q: Jobs nurses can have that pays well but has a good schedule?
What are some nursing jobs or specialties that pay pretty well but also have a good schedule (such as example 9-5)? That will allow me to have time for a family in the future. Thank you!

A: Work in a doctors office, school nurse or an OR nurse. Doctors office you would work 9-5 no weekends or holidays depending on the office. School nurse you would only work during the schoool year for the most part, as an OR nurse you may work 9-6 and only be" on call" one or two weekends a month. Good Luck

Q: What kinds of doctors/nurses jobs deal with babies?
As in like the NICU doctors and stuff. what other medical careers are out there? And a pediatrician Please list some doctor and nursing jobs and what they do thanks!

A: Neonatologists are pediatricians with an additional three-year fellowship in the care of newborns and premature infants. They learn a lot about pulmonary medicine because the lungs of premies are immature. And much more: problems of body temperature regulation, anemia, delicate fluid balance, kidney problems, intestinal problems like necrotizing enterocolitis, etc. etc. Pediatric surgeons are often involved in NICU care with ECMO (a small heart-lung machine) setups and babies with birth defects and the like. Ophthalmologists generally check the retinas of premies on high oxygen levels and most premies prior to discharge. I hope a NICU nurse answers your question. They do many important tasks. Nurses and iv technicians are skilled at starting iv fluids in the tiniest of veins. Hospital chaplains help others in the NICU give emotional support to parents who are experiencing the stress of waiting to learn if a sick infant is going to live or die, and if it will live, what quality of life will it have. NICUs have been romanticized on TV, but working there can be quite stressful and there is a significant incidence of burnout.

Q: How Can/Do Filipina Nurses Fund Jobs in the US?
How can Filipina nurses find jobs in the US and other Western countries? Is it easy? What do they need to get those jobs? How long does it take? How much money can they hope to make? What are the steps for a Filipina nurse who has just passed the board exam in her country to look for a lucrative job in the US? Is the US the easiest or is Canada the easiest? I meant Find, not Fund. My typo.

A: My friend and I are both married to Filipinas. He is also from the Philippines. His wife is a Doctor, and came to the US a few years back. Her certificates meant almost nothing in the US. Doctors, like Lawyers, must have a license to practice, and that license is based on US training. The same goes for Nursing. While her training and exams from the Philippines do count for something, she will still need to apply for her Nursing certificate in the US, and will certainly have to take additional classes in the US to get it. Personally, I think that the Nursing training and exams in the Philippines are equal to or better than those in the US, but since it is the opinion of the State and not mine that counts, that is way it is. I do not know if Canada is any easier than the US, but I know that a Nursing certificate from Canada is good in the US and vice versa in most cases with a simple review board to rubber stamp it.

Q: Can medical doctors do their jobs without nurses?
If the amount of nurse that a hospital employs was cut by a third, and CNAs (for patient care) were increased by half, can medical doctors still do their jobs? How dependent are doctors on the nurses in the hospital? Nurses, how dependent do you think doctors are on you? ___ Note I know that doctors don't work for the hospital.

A: We work as a team, and we do entirely different things, each contributing to the care of patients. We are interdependent. We don't have enough nurses as it is. Cutting their numbers further is bad medicine.

Q: How do some nurses work two jobs?
I'm a little confuse on this. I've heard that nurses can work two jobs, hence double their pay. But how do they work two jobs though when they're working full time. I always thought that when they work full time, it's 5 days a week, with weekends off. Or is it not this? Thanks for your answers!

A: Full time just means 40 hours a week. It doesn't matter what days or times. A person could work one shift at one job and another shift at a 2nd job.

Q: Are there any open certified nurses assistant jobs open here in Louisville Kentucky?
I am looking for a job, a steady job, at a hospital or a nursing home. I am not ill any more and I am able to work any shift that is required to work. I need a steady job so I will not lose my house or my car. I have to kids to take care of and it is very hard to do so with out a stable job.

A: Louisville has a truck load of nursing jobs. You just need to approach the different hospitals personally (Baptist, Norton etc.). You mention that you were ill sometime back. Is it because of your age? Looks like you are computer savvy and you should not face any problems in getting a nursing assistant job.

Q: Any jobs for nurses out of the hospital setting in Toronto, Florida or California?
I am a recently graduated nurse. I would just like to know if there are any jobs outside of the hospital setting that I would possibley be hired in. In Toronto, Florida or California, help with relocation would be great too!

A: Central Florida is screaming for nurses of all types. Go to Career Builder (www.careerbuilder.com) and search. Enter Orlando as the location and nurse as the keyword. It'll give you all the jobs within 30 miles of Orlando that are in its considerable listing. I just checked (10/1/08, 6:00 pm EDT) and there were 421 listings. Good Luck!!! P.S. Also try the locations of Lady Lake, Ocala, The Villages.

Q: Nurses jobs and relocation packages for Australia?
We have recently applied and obtained a Permanent visa to go to Australia. My wife is a charge nurse here in Scotland and will soon be applying for jobs in Cairns Queensland. does anyone know the best method of getting a job in this location, preferably with a relocation package included.

A: You cant be serious! A relocation package for a nurse? Relocation packages are part of high salary positions where the job is actually advertised overseas. Nurses jobs are not. Think about it - relocation packages include around 10K for transport and another 6K for airfares - thats 16K which is around 1/3 to 2/5 your yearly salary. What employer would pay that amount for a job there are people already in the country prepared to do. Would a Glasgow hospital pay relocation costs for an Australian nurse to move there? No.

Q: What are some good "office" jobs for nurses?
I've heard of case workers, but I was wondering if there are any other specialized office type work for nurses. If there are, what are the titles and requirements of each job? Thanks in advance.

A: Nurse managers, Nursing supervisors, Nursing Administration, Nurse Analyst, Physician Analyst, Nursing Education. These are just a few positions that are filled by RNs at my place of employment. Most of these require a Bachelors in nursing and some of the administration actually prefer a Masters in Nursing too. Requirements of these jobs are just years of experience and know how as a nurse.

Q: nurse jobs in new zealand for foreign educated nurses?
Is it possible for a foreign educated nurse to be registered in new zealand even if they don't have experience yet? I am a new graduate nurse and licensed nurse here in the Philippines and since hospitals here have freezed hiring i couldn't get experience. What steps should I take?

A: Is it just me or am I the only person on here who knows New Zealand and Australia aren't the same country?

Q: During the great depression, did many medical doctors and nurses lose their jobs?
I work as a microbiologist at a hospital. A lot of people are losing their jobs in my town because of the bad economy. I figure if doctors and nurses didn't lose their jobs during the great depression, there is no way they will lose their jobs during these bad times. So as long as the doctors and nurses are still working, I will have a job. Thank you for your time. america is based on a democratic system. not communist. I think you mean capitalist. which is true

A: First of all, the first poster did mean Communist (but should have said Socialist instead). WE are in fact moving away from the pure Capitalism that followed the Great Depression. During the Depression, the word "job" is a loose term I would think. They may have continued to practice medicine, but certainly many did so with lower wages or no wages. Bartering may have been one way medical providers were compensated. Healthcare providers that were part of teaching or religious based hospitals were probably some of the safest out there for not loosing their income-producing job. I would say technology is the thing for you to fear more than the current state of our society in keeping your job. More and more computers are being designed to read slides and provide a histology. Definitely we want a learned human to decide what to do after the results are in.

Q: Filipina Nurses Going to US for Jobs? How is It Done?
How can Filipina nurses find jobs in the US and other Western countries? Is it easy? What do they need to get those jobs? How long does it take? How much money can they hope to make? What are the steps for a Filipina nurse who has just passed the board exam in her country to look for a lucrative job in the US? Is the US the easiest or is Canada the easiest?

A: Philippine nurses speak English, so most english speaking countries allow RNs in the Philippines to migrate or immigrate. Countries include Australia, US, Canada, England, Ireland, UAE, and Singapore. Theoretically, a nurse could also go to countries like Germany, France, and Spain if they knew the language. It's possible to immigrate because Philippine education and nursing schools are very good. But the process varies depending on the country they are going to and the means they use. My wife is an RN and I paid for her to study, and take the exams. We spent (counting everything), over $15,000 for her RN license. This included her returning to the PI for a study session, taking the CGFNS, the NCLEX, TOEFL, study groups, licensing and exam fees, registry fees, and so much much more. It's crazy. Once a nurse passes the PRC board in the PI, she or he can go to an agency who will help them get a job overseas. Typically nurses start with UAE because its a little easier to go there without experience and they don't stay long because the locals treat Filipinos badly. Typically once a Pinoy/Pinay has enough money they will try to either use an agency or take the NCLEX exam in Manila. The process can take years and years or less time depending on a nurses ability to parlay passing the exams, and getting job placement. However, for the US the nurse does not need the agency anymore and can simply pass the NCLEX and CGFNS and get a provisional workers visa on her or his own. How much money? Well, nurses tend to earn middle class salary in any country equal to an individuals share up to as high as 200% even 300% GDP. So in the US, the Individual GDP is about $35,000 and most nurses can earn 35-70-105 thousand before taxes and deductions depending on how many hours they work and their experience and specialty. While some nurses immediatly begin looking for a US job from graduation, its harder for them because they are inexperience, and really they are just learning whats necessary because there's so many rules and they just got out of school so they'd like to keep taking tests now while they still have good habits and are not needing to work full time yet. I don't know which country is easier, but typically a Filipino/a will go to any country they can get a job offer through their agency. Some things that help are experience for the nurse. Most countries like ER, ICU, OB, Pediatric, Cardiac, and rehab experience, so if a nuse has this they can get better offers, like more choices, higher pay, or even the hospital will pay their expenses to move and set up to a higher degree. The first step for a nurse should be to take TOEFL, and pass the PRC. Not all nurses can take the PRC because the Philippines does not allow non-filipinos to take the PRC. Example, a chinese or taiwanese girl born and raised in the PI is not Filipino (stupid law), but basically the Filipinos want to send their children all over the world to work, but don't want to employ their own born and raised because of racist bias in the PRC laws.
