   Once again, thanx Siri! Ok, this place was a zoo. Not my fault that they were down to the last insulin syringe. I'm not even an employee there, just agency. I don't know what I would have done had I needed to give insulin to someone and I had no insu...

   ilovebuster replied to ilovebuster's topic in General Nursing

   She was only the hiring manager for that one department that I interviewed for. There are many, many, many more departments....all with different HM. Even though she told me that I could use her as a reference during an interview with a different HM,...

   ilovebuster posted a topic in General Nursing

   The other night I worked at a nusing home (thru agency). Upon my arrival I learned that i will be the only licnesed staff in house, for my shift 6pm-6am. I was to care for 85 residents. I was told that it is legal b/c this wasn't a "skilled" facility...

4. I'm not getting called for an interview!!

   ilovebuster posted a topic in General Nursing

   Right now I am working for agency. I like agency, but I need something more stable and local. A couple months ago I submitted an online resume/CL/Application for RN opportunities at a clinic. I had one interview, and I didn't get the job. When the H...

   ilovebuster replied to ilovebuster's topic in Legal

   Yeah, but I still have to finish undergrad - and if I go the Kaplan route and get a BA of science in Paralegal studies, which they claim can be complted in one year since I have an ADN, that one year alone will cost close to what one year of law scho...

   ilovebuster replied to ilovebuster's topic in Legal

   Whoa. That program with Kaplan will cost over 25k! I don't think I will get much Govt assistance b/c I make great $$ now, and am single without any kids. I was thinking that is would cost maybe 15k - that sounds more resonable. Geesh, By the time...

7. Feeling humiliated/Vent.. How would you respond?

   ilovebuster replied to purseOnalityRN's topic in General Nursing

   Oh geeesh. I, personally, have never had a doc speak to me in such a manner in person, but it has happened via phone a few times. I don't take it personally, and I don't see the point in making a big fuss over it. Just document everything and move o...

   And yet another Q... My GPA at my jr.college isn't hot. I made it thru my Science and most nursing courses with a C. However, we had a tough grading scale. A C at our school is a B at most schools, but I know that doesn't matter. I could have done w...

   Xoxxox Siri! One more thing if ya don't mind. Maybe this is a Q for the college I choose to get a BA in, but here maybe you will know... So yea, I have an Assoc degree. Do you think I can apply for a 2 year Paralegal program, but come out with a BA?...

10. Where do I begin????

    ilovebuster replied to ilovebuster's topic in Legal

    Thanx Siri!! See, the thing is, I don't think I can do bedside nursing for much longer. I am a new RN, but prior to I was an LPN 5 years. I have had such bad experiences with being a bedside nurse at both a hospital and nursing home that I have decid...

    I am a NEW nurse. Graduated in may 05. Sorry to sound cranky, but bedside nursing is not for me. LEGAL NURSING IS FOR ME. Where do I begin to get this ball rolling guys?? It's sort of overwhelming. I have a LT goal to become a Nurse-Atty. I want expe...
