  1. Disgusted with nursing career

    You need to get into a SNF-Skilled nursing facility. I know, I know.... Before people say "a nursing home" puke...I gotta say that I can function very independently as a nurse and learned LOTS as a nurse fresh out the gate at a SNF. You get to see lo...
  2. Need some encouraging words as new grad in LTC

    Hey beach bum! I am a new grad RN! In my area-Ohio-new grad rn jobs a hard to come by! Especially for not having any previous health care experience. I graduated in June 2009 and have been on the search since december of 08 sending out applications a...
  3. Need some encouraging words as new grad in LTC

    although I have heard all the things that you have listed above-about difficulty transferring out to a hospital, etc. I have been told by my facility that I do get experience that I can use later in hospitals. I have many residents who are med/surg p...
  4. Hey guys! First, I want to say, that I am soo excited to have the job that I have. But, as a new grad-I don't know how I am supposed to feel about this job. After reading several threads here, I feel like my facility is the same as most- I was given ...
  5. Same Day Surgery vs Long Term Care?

    I am orienting in a long term care facility that gets a lot of rehab patients that have left the hospital but not ready for home and I am finding out that I get to do a lot of skills for these residents. You might want to ask what the population is l...
  6. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    I just wanted to contribute to this thread. I tested Friday morning-and it was the most awful test. I studied and almost had a break down when I went past 75 questions. I came out thinking that there was NO WAY that I could have passed it. So- get h...
  7. Have you done prioritization at all? How are you at it?
  8. Another qustion on getting hired - are there jobs?

    I, too, am a SAHM for about 5 1/2 years! No medical exp. and all the places that I have worked in the past are shut down-so no references from work. BUT! I **think** that I might have a job. I should hear something soon. If I do, I will post how I ma...
  9. Another qustion on getting hired - are there jobs?

    Well, let me explain this confusion-because I get this ALL the time from friends and family! If you are an "experienced" nurse-with at least a year under your belt-then, yes there are LOTS of jobs. BUT, for the new grad who needs orientation-there a...
  10. Cohorting with infections

    Gotcha! Thanks for the clarifications!
  11. Hi there! First off, let me start by saying that I haven't tested, yet. Next week (yikes!) and I didn't do a kaplan review or Q bank bc I don't have the money. I have been reviewing since graduation and studying. I would suggest to you to get a NCLEX...
  12. Cohorting with infections

    I am confused about who can cohort with who with infection control. Can someone shed some light. Some places say private rooms, while others say cohort. Which can you cohort? I know TB-no. But, droplet precautions-if they are the same-can you?? Than...
  13. Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

    I have been pending for 12 business days now-2 weeks and I can't get through to the OBN on the phone and they don't seem to respond to any emails. So I guess all I can do is keep waiting. :banghead::banghead:
  14. Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

    I graduated June 12th and I am still pending. So much for the 7-10 business days too. Its crazy just sitting and waiting. I am going to call in the morning to see what the hold up is.
  15. Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

    I just wanted to stop in and see if anyone has got the ATT yet? I haven't. I called the OBN and they said that it could take 7-10 business days FROM when you see your name as pending to get the application processed. So, just bc you see your name, do...
