  1. Nurses with criminal background

    What exactly was you charge? Were you charged as an adult? what are the nursing rules in your state? Can you petition for either an expungment, sealing of the record or a pardon by the governor? Depending on your state clemendy may not me out of reac...
  2. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    I used to use Allnurse.com as a touch stone for what nursing is, But some days I cannot believe some of the nasty crappy things that RNs say or feel about their patients. It makes me really sad. If you feel so entitled as an RN spend a couple more y...
  3. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    Maybe in your suburb it's acceptable to be a discriminating RN, but in my home town of Chicago, you take care of people regardless of their ability to pay
  4. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    I was getting report on a patient and the nurse mentioned that the patient (according to their suspicions) was homeless. My response was, "How is this relevant?" I actually don't give a ****** about how the medical bills are paid for . That is why I ...
  5. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    I was one of those unfortunate nurses who went to a liberal school which believed that basic health was a human right and that our practice as nurses should not at all be affected by how much insurance one or one doesn't have. Believe me, I have prot...
  6. Im Pagan and a Hospice Nurse....

    Thank you so much. Conscise and to the point.
  7. Im Pagan and a Hospice Nurse....

    To simplify it. I'm at a staff meeting and there are 10 of us and we are there to discuss the care of our patients. It is custom or acceptable for the ten of us to breast feed during the meeting. However, Jenna, is a new staff member and either--ref...
  8. Im Pagan and a Hospice Nurse....

    The prayer in a work setting issue is a bit like breast feeding in public (but not quite). Both are normal healthy human activities. Both ideally are conducted in a setting in which everyone involved helps facilitates the process and no one feels vi...
  9. New Grads having trouble finding a job in Chicago?

    I know as a former agency nurse that this is controversial because real good agency nurses are far and few. To be an actual traveler or agency nurse you have to be quick on your feet like nobody's business. Your patient is about to code and you can't...
  10. New Grads having trouble finding a job in Chicago?

    A lot of hosptials are using the BS line about the economy and the shortage of nurses to justify not hiring (don't get me started). Instead of applying for traditional full time positions new grads should be applying for resource or agency nursing po...
  11. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    Wow! I am completely awstruck by the positions and rationales that are taken by many of this forum. I have to keep checking my URL/ HTTP web bar to make sure that I am, in fact, on the allnurses.com forum. In my nursing school we were taught that hea...
  12. Instead of getting caught up in peripheral issues, we should be ripping apart the cover letter instead. That cover letter better shine shine shine! When I was completing nursing school I applied for a Graduate Nurse Internship type program at a very ...
  13. I'm going to completely confuse and contradict myself here: Definitely consider the words and phrases used in the description of the position and in the description of the program. One resume, cover letter advice resource I read once suggested highli...
  14. I agree completely with Patti RN that any cover letter, in fact any letter that you will ever write, should be your own words. In my own critique I offer suggestions and give then give a specific example to illustrate and clarify that suggestion. I...
  15. Great advice everyone. If I may, here are some additional pointers: The first paragraph needs a lot of help. It should in four sentences or less state the exact title of the position you are applying for (which you only sort of did), state who you ar...
