2. New Grad Rn Entering Gastroenterology

   meither replied to warmspirit's topic in Gastroenterology

   I would highly recommend you to either have an internship in ICU or Med/surg. Med/surg will work your butts off but you will learn all kinds of stuff ( just give med/surg at least one year, one year experience is probably enough)and you can pretty mu...

   meither replied to dylansmama's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with you. I found that it is going on with most forum, not only this one. I have a website that i go to for local residence in my area. People get on that forum and start attacking others. It is amazing what people can do when you don't have ...

5. Good Looking Enough to be a Nurse?

   meither replied to casey1988's topic in General Nursing

   let me see how i should address your post. I think you are worrying too much. People don't care if you are good looking or not. Believe me, most of the nurses that I work with they are pretty much over weight or obese. I am not kidding you . You know...

6. How is a new graduate suppose to get experience?

   meither replied to struggling_student's topic in General Students

   I am frustrated to see that too. They always say they need two years experience in work for women's health (postpartum). Anyway, if I were you , I would go ahead and apply for any job that you like. Sometimes some jobs say, they will train. And of c...

7. not new graduate and no experience-how do i get a job?

   meither replied to lasa's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know what state you are in. In Tx, CA, and many other states, the hospitals always have training program for new grads. I know you are not new grads but since you passed your NCLEX, that means you know the basic of nursing. If you go to your ...

8. Other people's ?s about your salary...

   meither replied to eager1hasbegun's topic in General Nursing

   you tell them that you make pretty good money. You make enough to feed a family. And you should ask them how much they are making too. That might stop the nosey from asking. Another nurse asked me how much I am making one time at my work, and I tol...

9. Career change/why so neg on nursing?

   meither replied to dragonflycafe's topic in General Nursing

   I had a big transition for my job too. I was a business consultant for a big company and then I became a nurse for 3 years. I got really burnt out and refused to go back to Med/surg because of the dangerously high pt to nurse ratio. I had to take car...

10. Do you need to carry your personal cell phone while at work?

    meither replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    My thought is that it is all "BS" that we as nurses cannot carry our cell phones. What if, if I have an emergency? What if, my family needs me? How come only Doctors have emergencies and we don't ? I am thinking that the main reason why they make th...

    meither replied to IvoryLena's topic in Career Support

    I don't know what to tell you. I am in the same boat as you are. I am currently in GI ambulatory center. My work is boring and I decided to pick up a PRN job in rehab hospital. I worked there for 3 days with someone training me. I was overwhelmed by...
