1. Are doctor offices likely to hire new grad RNs?

   sharonshiatsu replied to emptyboxcars's topic in New Nurse

   To my way of thinking, you really don't know how to really think on your feet when you just graduate. You need time and realtime experience under your belt in order to prepare you for the rest of your career. I always told my new grads that sure they...

   i started a position in a call center at a large hospital. it is staffed 24/7 and 365. with many, many calls coming in an arranging admissions from all over, it can be a very stressful job. i have been at it now for about 7 months and already had to ...

3. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop aka being happy makes one unhappy?

   sharonshiatsu replied to Marshall1's topic in Stress 101

   This is quite timely since I have been increasingly stressed with my job and am feeling like I have no joy in life. I work long hours in a very high stress position and just started in June after being unemployed for 2 years. The job is in a great ho...

4. Thank you gift?

   sharonshiatsu replied to student_nurse123's topic in General Nursing

   A well-written note "from the heart" can be the best gift that your preceptor can ever receive. For this, you need to really specify some of the things that make her special...what she brings to the job and patients as well as you, and how she specif...

   Are you still in the other business you spoke about in 03? Can you tell me more about it? Thnx!

6. Hateful, mean nurses

   sharonshiatsu replied to CupCakeRN's topic in Relations

   I hear you dear Nurse! I came from a world of nurses eating their young and I'm sorry to know that it is still going on! Unfortunately, all the work that needs to happen after reporting them to management etc. is from YOU! Remember that this is a "g...

7. Where Do You Study???

   sharonshiatsu replied to WandererRNBSN's topic in General Students

   For me, I think considering the way I've seen many teenagers studying with Ipod music, TV, etc. that it is not WHERE you find to study but the way you approach it! I believe from my own experience that you can learn to tune out all the extraneous noi...

8. Yes, Virginia, There IS A Second Chance

   sharonshiatsu replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

   I am still in the throws of your past problems and have been out of work for a year now. Like you I am not ready for retirement and in my 50's, hardly past my prime. I have gone on what seems to be hundreds of interviews to only be let down once agai...

9. Fired all the LPN's

   sharonshiatsu replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in LPN/LVN

   That's interesting. Around here many of the hospitals won't use LPN's at all, just RN's. But more lately there has been a shift where more employers are hiring LPN's for jobs that once only went to RN's just to save money. I was just offered some per...

10. Homeopathy

    sharonshiatsu replied to CharlieNylund's topic in Holistic

    One must understand that Homeopathy is a "vibrational" medicine and does not make sense to the usual way that we think, especially with the concepts of dilution and strength. It is true that the more the remedy is diluted and "succussed" (or shaken),...

11. Aesthetics Nursing

    sharonshiatsu replied to NurseKimberley's topic in Aesthetics

    I too was trying to get into the field but the $1200 fee per class at the Institute was a bit steep for just one class! I did find someone local who also does training but she charges $1500 for one class! I mean yes, the treatments are expensive for ...

12. Homeopathy

    sharonshiatsu replied to CharlieNylund's topic in Holistic

    It is amazing to me at this point in time that there are still the naysayers spewing forth their venomous negativity as a few of the posts portrayed. It reminded me of the Dateline they had on the TV years ago when they went after the homeopaths with...
