1. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

   Guest957596 replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

   Exactly, that's what I said. She didn't mention initially she didn't want to be a practicing NP. But even as an educator/leader, she has to educate people about the value and necessity of vaccinations.

2. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

   Guest957596 replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

   This post by the OP is ludicrious. Not mentioning the fact that they're not going to be a practicing Nurse Practitioner left out the fact that not getting the flu shot was germane. I raise the red flag on this. Who cares about your generosity vis-a...

6. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

   Guest957596 replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

   Why jump to the conclusion of age discrimination and offer advice on how to combat it when there's no proof offered?

7. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

   Guest957596 replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

   Your age is NOT an issue. I graduated at 58yo and was hired right away at an HCA hospital through the StaRN program. Your problem is you're apparently a new nurse without experience. Apply for a New Grad Program.

8. New grad Rn should I go to medsurg

   Guest957596 replied to snowybee's topic in Med-Surg

   Corrections is like working in the Twilight Zone. The environment is not like a hospital in any way, shape, or form. You need to be tough, independent, and assertive. If you aren't, it's not for you.

11. Realistic Goal?

    Guest957596 replied to mursedreaming's topic in SRNA

    Hey, Nurse! Look at the local hospitals and see if they have a New Grad or Nurse Residency Program. Some of our local hospitals have them with a few seats for ED or CCU/ICU. Good luck! Start with this, get experience and then look at CRNA. PS- NCLEX ...

12. Is the future of ER Nursing I-stats?

    Guest957596 replied to gcupid's topic in General Nursing

    You're in the ED. It's not the floor like in MedSurg. You have the advantage of having diagnostic info in your hands in MINUTES. I wish I had this ability as I currently do not work in the ED. We have to draw our own labs and tube them to the lab. I ...

13. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Guest957596 replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, hospitals are requiring BSNs. All of our area hospitals will hire ASNs, but you must be actively enrolled in a BSN program within 1 year of hire except for our local HCA hospitals. Then you must have your BSN within 3, 5, 6 years respe...

14. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Guest957596 replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    My question as well! So could one infer from the comment that the display of certs makes someone else possibly feel inferior? NOTE: This is not a dig or a slam. Serious question

15. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Guest957596 replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Certs enhance the perceived goodness of a nurse. Patients ask me what the letters mean and when I tell them, they feel more confident since I went above and beyond. So displaying them does have a positive impact.
