   Here is my share of something I have experienced. I just changed my job from a job that I really loved, manager was wonderful and I really miss her, but (I work in ICU) the unit was not challenging enough for me. I am planning to apply next year to C...

2. Masters in Nursing- which specialty to choose?

   First of all I needed advise regarding my career path, not your opinion about my personality. If you dont feel like sticking to the subject, don't respond. Thanks for your effort though.

3. Masters in Nursing- which specialty to choose?

   jo1010 replied to jo1010's topic in Post Graduate

   "Effort on the part of others"??? You are kidding me, right? My current employer knows ALL these places, therefore I didnt have a problem to be accepted. Plus ALL of the orientees left that particular place in within the 1st year. That place in fact ...

4. Masters in Nursing- which specialty to choose?

   jo1010 replied to jo1010's topic in Post Graduate

   You can describe me that I feel "superior", it doesn't bother me at all. Of course I am confident in what i am doing, but I realize there is still a lot to learn. Anyway I was job hopping and apparently it worked out pretty good so far. Why would I ...

   jo1010 replied to LiquidmoonRN's topic in General Students

   I am finishing my RN-BSN in 2 weeks and I think I wouldn't recommend this program to anyone. First of all it SHOULD take 19 months, but it really takes 22 months, to me it was a major point why I picked this program, because of 19! months, supposedly...

   jo1010 replied to Stitchie's topic in Safety

   Well said. I worked in 1 rehab center and it was getting really bad, therefore after finding another place I thought "I need to quit, it can't be any worse than this right now" and guess what? It was a lot worse. So it is really risky to quit and get...

10. Just started my job... and considering quitting

    jo1010 replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in New Nurse

    Sorry to hear that. Since you wrote this you probably did what you felt you had to do, however I will say my opinion. I started in a nursing home as well, here in New Jersey. My wage was the same (in 2009) and i had 16 patients, never less than that ...

    Well, let me tell you something. I work on oncology/Med Surg/Ortho floor. I worked nights for 7 months and I was offered to work days (we have 8 hours shifts). I decided to accept that shift, and i have to say it is a huge difference. They gave me 4 ...

14. Can you really change a bad LTC?

    jo1010 replied to lisa41rn's topic in LTC Directors

    That absolutely reminds me of LTC I worked for, Genesis Healthcare. Actually each time DON called me to the pffice for some weird reasons, she brought with her the entire team- HR person, 2 ADONs. She hired me full time, she was aware of the fact I h...

15. Can you really change a bad LTC?

    jo1010 replied to lisa41rn's topic in LTC Directors

    I used to work at one of the LTC facilities that was a part of a huge corporate. Let me tell you, the crap will always stay crap. In my 1st nursing home (it was a combination of subacute and nursing home) we had no equipment to even start an IV. My p...
