1. Wants to Leave Toxic Job After One Month

   rachel10069 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   Lol. If I put every job I've had for the past 5-10 years on an application, I'd be writing for days! You don't need to list every job you've had. I never have (whether in nursing or my other careers - although nursing is the only career where I've ha...

2. New Grad Age 60 Can't Land a Job

   rachel10069 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   First, they don't ask your age but they do ask your birth date. So I'm sure they are bright enough to figure out your age. Second, you can get information on anyone, including age, addresses, relatives, jobs, friends, financial info, and so much more...

6. NPs on the Front Lines of Change: National Nurse Practitioner Week

   rachel10069 replied to Lane Therrell FNP's topic in NP

   I guess I had been lucky for many years in that I had a couple of awesome psychiatric NPs I was seeing. One quit her practice and I had to stop seeing the other one because I moved. I have since had a string of 3 psychiatric NPs who were HORRIBLE! So...

7. LPN to RN feels Trapped and Burnt Out

   rachel10069 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   Of course your LPN experience counts! Where did you get the idea that it doesn't count? Not sure why the advice that was given to you is to go on a med/surge floor when you made it clear that you don't want to do that. You do not need to work on a me...

8. LPN - Work from Home Jobs

9. Are nurses blue or white collar workers?

   rachel10069 replied to digitiminimi's topic in Professionalism

   Nurses without a graduate degree are basically told what to do. I am primarily referring to bedside nurses. They "take orders." Bedside nurses for the most part cleanup nasty things, are treated badly by management and each other, have the highest...

    Do you think this might have something to do with your advanced degrees?

14. Be honest: do you feel valued by your employer?

    rachel10069 replied to sunnyskies9's topic in General Nursing

    Hospitals don't want "creative" nurses. They want nurses who do what they're told. Period.

15. Be honest: do you feel valued by your employer?

    rachel10069 replied to sunnyskies9's topic in General Nursing

    Not really. The fact is, nurses are totally undervalued. I have two other completely different careers in addition to nursing. As a nurse, I have been treated with such disrespect it is shocking - not only by employers, but by other nurses. I have al...
