2. Prison job for female RN

   semicolonergic replied to luckystarRN's topic in Correctional

   I work at a county jail and love it. You have to be VERY secure with yourself in terms of being a female and not letting jabs about "ugly", "fat", etc bother you....because they will throw anything out. I agree with a PP, the officers are usually wor...

   semicolonergic replied to Aubrianna's topic in General Nursing

   As a nurse who graduated about 3 years ago, I can tell you that it's better now than even a year ago. stick with it, I work at a prison (never thought I'd be here!!) and love, love, love it!! Odd positions fall open

5. Desk job or Prison job? Help!

   semicolonergic replied to christinacub's topic in General Nursing

   As a jail nurse, I love it! I have to say that the officers are worse than the inmates for flirting. I'm not what a typical guy would want on the street, and still get the comments from inmates. Gotta build up a tough skin and smart comments like "Yo...

6. Rx Adderall for a nurse

   semicolonergic replied to Guest03/15/15's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know about all states, but in my state, I've worked in 3 facilities while on adderall. I'm up front about it before I go in for drug testing so it's not a surprise and I make sure I have a full letter from my physician and never fill scripts ...

7. Licensure by Endorsement...timing?

   semicolonergic replied to hiddencatRN's topic in New Jersey

   You definitely have to get endorsed first. I went through the same thing and most applications can't even be completed without endorsement. It took 6-8 weeks once the application was in at BON. It's involved, but no more so than other states. It's al...

8. Has anyone worked at this LTC Facility, Berea Ohio

   semicolonergic replied to katnursey's topic in General Nursing

   I did clinical rotations there in the children's hospital and grew up just around the corner. While the children were fabulous, it was a LOT of work. Lots and lots of "aid" type work was done by the nurses. Also, in that particular building, there we...

9. Its true - very few jobs for new grads.

   semicolonergic replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New Jersey

   Jessy RN, I am VERY interested in moving and learning more....unfortunately, I don't think I have enough posts to PM people...or at least am not seeing the option.

10. New Grads and Clinical Hours

    semicolonergic replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    Great. I'm a new grad going to a career fair in a few hours....without all those certificates. Haha, here's hoping!

11. New Grads and Clinical Hours

    semicolonergic replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    I agree about the quality versus quantity. Many, many of my hours especially in OB were spent sitting, waiting. Not learning much. I would guess we did 400 hours...though it doesn't feel like that! I just tried to go back and add it up. Accelerated ...

12. New Jersey Nurses ... Help!!!

    semicolonergic replied to Meg88's topic in General Nursing

    Hey I just moved here as well. You are able to apply for licensure here by endorsement. Mine has not been finished yet because they give you quite a run around with fingerprints. If you are out of state, they will send you cards to do in your home st...

13. NEED HELP ASAP

    semicolonergic replied to amontalvo84's topic in New Nurse

    OP, I found it really easy to use the Saunder's disc. I was able to do 100 questions at a time and reward myself with a few minutes on facebook or some other distractor. 100 questions isn't hard to get through. Then I'd quickly review my wrong answer...

14. I'm so sorry I didnt go straight for my BSN

    semicolonergic replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in New Nurse

    I agree with the previous poster. It sure does stink, but I was an aid before getting my license, and lost my job because it was out of my scope of practice. There was no job that just "opened up" for me because I had worked there. Many BSN new grads...

15. New Grads with No Job...Back to School???

    semicolonergic replied to JMRN09's topic in New Nurse

    I am in the same predicament as you, except with an associate's degree. I started back up with an online program this month and love it! I felt as if I was losing skills and was pretty upset about job hunting every day. This program has 8 week sessio...
