1. Which job to take?

   Going2bRN replied to Going2bRN's topic in General Nursing

   I am just being realistic to how I feel about it. But honestly, even though I had the second interview, I haven't heard back from the easier job. So it might not even be a possibility anyhow. I have put in over 40 applications the last couple months ...

2. Which job to take?

   Going2bRN replied to Going2bRN's topic in General Nursing

   So I had a second interview at the Care Coordinator position. The groups seems like a nice bunch of ladies but a few things really stuck out to me. 1.) They mentioned they sit all day. 2.) They stated there is candy everywhere 3.) They mentioned some...

3. Which job to take?

   Going2bRN replied to Going2bRN's topic in General Nursing

   I am older. I became an RN in my mid 40s and I have been a nurse for 5 years. I am fit, but I do have some autoimmune issues which can cause me some problems. I don't feel like I have had any solid experiences as a nurse even though I have been in th...

   30 years and it was still intense for you? Yeah, I am not even a super confident nurse. What you wrote is my biggest fear. I appreciate your response so much.

5. Which job to take?

   Going2bRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been a nurse since 2018, mostly in lower level ERs. I also traveled for a couple years in the ER, spent the last year PRN at a small ER about an hour from home and recently decided to get a permanent position. I have two opportunities. Op...

6. RN-BSN Program at OU

   Going2bRN replied to jjmorr69's topic in Ohio University

   Here is my advice: 1. Buy Perrla for APA formatting made VERY easy. Use the online version. It is super easy and it saves all your references so you can reuse them. 2. Directions are often vague. Always pull up the rubric to see what you need t...

7. Temporary Disability

   Nobody said this... why not declutter your house and sell of stuff on FB Marketplace, eBay, etc... It is basically a garage sale. If you must, sell in your husband's name.

8. How can I become a better ED nurse?

   Going2bRN posted a topic in Emergency

   I have worked in two ED's since I graduated in early 2018. The first ED was a great educational experience with strokes and cardiac arrests pretty regularly. I left that job because I was switched to nights and I could not function. Now I am at anoth...

10. ED Cheat sheet?

    Going2bRN replied to MILOBRI's topic in Emergency

    I am the major outlier here. I like to keep notes. I write as I interview initially. I keep the papers and then when a doc gives me a med or whatever, I write it down w/time. It helps me to know without having to log in. It also helps me keep things ...

    Going2bRN replied to Going2bRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am struggling financially with my current job. The potential is there to earn more, but it is really difficult to build my case load since they are constantly cutting my visit frequency and making me discharge my patients. SOCs take forever with th...

12. Which Job? Home Health Case Manager or Cross-trained ER/ICU.

    Going2bRN replied to Going2bRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am offered the 11a-11p position in the ER. That is guaranteed. The manager said he would cross-train me in the ICU so that I can pick up shifts there. He made it pretty clear that I can work the shift I want to work. In fact he said he didn't care ...

    Going2bRN replied to Kat_Future_RN's topic in School Programs

    The reason we lose so many is because it is something you have to be 100% invested in. I had wonderful, smart classmates who failed because they didn't put the time into studying for the exams. They worked full time and tried to still have fun. You s...
