Is it hard to get a registered nurse job?

We Answered:

I am from Pennsylvania and we have a desperate need for RN's. : )

Edwin Said:

Does anyone know of any legitimate work from home jobs for a Registered Nurse?

We Answered:

I have not done it personally, but through word of mouth know people who have

1. worked for insurance companies, or md offices as call centers (look up telenurse, or telehealth RN)

2. worked at home with research companies, but I do think you have to put in time before you can work at home.

3. have worked as home health RNs. Not exactly working at home, but it is more flexible than clocking in at a hospital.

Edwin Said:

what are other jobs a registered nurse can do aside from working as a nurse?

We Answered:

Waitress.

Cashier.

Customer Service Associate.

Account Manager.

Truck Driver.

Blacksmith.

Trench Digger.

Mason.

Day-Laborer.

Sherry Said:

What actually need to do associated registered nurse in the hospital if hired?

We Answered:

Both an ADN and BSN nurse have the same job duties, point is they both can sign RN at the end of their name so there is no difference as far as job description. However, a BSN prepared nurse can go into Public Health (school nurse, public health nurse, occupational nurse, etc) and can move up the management chain if they so desire. Some hospitals even require a Bachelor degree if you want to work in the ER and/or intensive care units.
I went to Cal State University, Long Beach which has a great program! All the accredited schools are listed under the Board of Nursing website www.rn.ca.gov

Peggy Said:

Does a midwife do similar jobs to a registered nurse?

We Answered:

Are you talking about a Certified Nurse Midwife, or a lay midwife who has no medical training other than the art of birthing babies? A CNM is obviously trained in nursing and provides nursing-based care. A lay midwife would perform similar patient care tasks, but would not perform the same kinds of documentation, etc.

Since a lay midwife is not usually formally college educated, a nurse will generally make more money.

Heather Said:

what are simular jobs to an registered nurse that are easier to get into?

We Answered:

Since your salary requirement is so low, you could start at the bottom of the food chain as a CNA. Programs usually take a few weeks and then you take the licensure exam. CNAs make around $11 an hour depending on location.

Another option is to apply to LPN programs. These take around 18 months and salary is approximately 39k a year.
