   JoI8815 replied to JoI8815's topic in General Nursing

   HAHA I hear you. I know that there will be moments where I will be under some stress. The CM position is a lot of work, but its all telephonic and its a different beast compared to the bedside in my opinion. I think the culture of the environment mak...

   JoI8815 replied to JoI8815's topic in General Nursing

   I thought about that but I was also thinking you need a lot more experience for PD jobs? Were I live, you need 2 years experience for almost every job that's out there. I was actually surprised when I landed this one with limited experience.

   I really really would like some advice from my fellow nurses! I will try to keep this short. Thanks in advance. I was recently terminated (February) from a LTC facility after being assaulted by a patient. That was not the first time. However, I al...

   Hi Nurses!! I'm reaching out to all of you for some advice concerning which path is wisest to take. However, a brief background. I'm a new nurse with only 11 months of experience in the LTC setting. I thrived at the bedside and was very good at what...

5. On-line Job Applications After Being Fired

   JoI8815 replied to TrixieRN1's topic in Job Hunt

   Hey I know I am super late with this threat. I was looking through similar threads to see how other nurses get past HR after putting they were fired on online applications. I was recently terminated after being physically assaulted by a patient. Was...

   JoI8815 replied to JoI8815's topic in Relations

   I def realize that now. I didn't tell on her because I was trying to snitch her out...like I said, its a long story. I was talking to the supervisor about why I was upset and that was part of it. That conversation was supposed to be in confidence......

7. yikes! new nurse/old nurse conflict

   JoI8815 replied to JoI8815's topic in Relations

   Thanks guys. Awesome advice. I'll try to answer all the questions because somehow my phone is not allowing me to use the quotes.1.why she did it? Because the patient refuses his meds so they usually have to crush them and disguise them in the food. S...

8. yikes! new nurse/old nurse conflict

   JoI8815 replied to JoI8815's topic in Relations

   The thing is, I didn't see or experience any of that on other units. Everyone so far has been so awesome. I would hate to leave because of one person but it kind of looks like I may have to if things continue down an ugly road Not what I wanted to ...

   Hey guys. So today was a rough day. It was one of those I dont want to go back to work days. A seasoned nurse got in my face to the point two people had to hold her back and escort her out the room. Sigh...I absolutely hate conflict. I need some advi...

    JoI8815 replied to JoI8815's topic in NCLEX

    I see. I got the two recommendations but I was denied the position anyway. Was really really looking forward to working with this organization. Guess its back to the drawing board (not that I left lol).

12. Nurses who can't find work.

    JoI8815 replied to JesusKeepMe's topic in Job Hunt

    Thanks so much for this information! I'm more than willing to move (although moving from a place like Philadelphia to Arkansas sounds really intimidating especially alone and without a vehicle). I will do some research to see what that process would...

    JoI8815 replied to JesusKeepMe's topic in Job Hunt

    I'm an old new grad who is currently out of work...my situation looks really gloom because not only am I an old new grad (graduated over a year ago, recently passed the NCLEX on Oct 25th), but I have absolutely NO experience in the medical field. I o...
