1. Charleston, SC new grad

   cubelle replied to Harley777's topic in Job Hunt

   MUSC hospital is a great place to start as a new grad. That was my first nursing job & I learned a lot. They have specific "new grad RN" postings. And back when I was a nurse there, you would have "new grad meetings" where you could share your...

2. Failed Nursing School

   cubelle replied to nur_journey's topic in General Students

   You can also look at applying at another 4-year university. I went to a solid public university nearby, & as long as you had C's, you were golden. My university gave you a bit more chances for those of us, like me, who grew a lot in college. 3...

   cubelle replied to nur_journey's topic in General Students

   Keep your chin up, dear one. If your dream is to be a nurse, continue. I see what you have gone through reminds me a lot of myself. I struggled in school & now am a nurse of 9 years & have just been accepted into a NP school in my area. I...

6. Bullying + hospice

   cubelle replied to cubelle's topic in Hospice

   No my supervisors back me up. This is the 3rd one of our nurses this facility has fired. My supervisors would understand that I wouldn't want to subject myself to this bullying again. It's just sad cause truly we should all be on the same team. No...

7. Bullying + hospice

   cubelle posted a topic in Hospice

   I've been a nurse for 9 years. I truly love being a nurse! I am having trouble sleeping tonight though. A lot on my mind. I am the facility nurse for my home care hospice. I meet some awesome cg's in the facilities I go into. In one facility, th...

8. Help!!

   cubelle replied to leandrawoods84's topic in Hospice

   Monday-Friday 8-5 pm with call. That is what I do, and I love it. I haven't worked the weekend on-call position, but I hear that many hours on can be brutal. I think starting in case management as the Monday through Friday nurse is the best way to...

9. Just a note of encouragement--I love my job as a hospice nurse!

   cubelle posted a topic in Hospice

   I just wanted to encourage y'all who may be frustrated with your nursing jobs, if in hospice or another area. I have been an RN since 2008. Worked 2.5 years in a teaching hospital where I learned tons, but was ready to break free of the four walls ...

10. Essential Tremor

    cubelle replied to peoplenurse rn's topic in Disabilities

    Awesome to see there are others I can relate to that are nurses with essential tremors. Almost everyday a pt or cg asks "Are you nervous?" I say that I have a hereditary tremor, but it does not affect my job. Normally they say "Oh" and that is tha...

    Hi guys! I started a hospice job (home hospice) back in July. I love the work, but miss my days off that I had when I worked in the hospital working 3 12's. I am a case manager nurse with a hospice company which is booming. I have considered goin...

12. Sit down nursing jobs

    cubelle replied to ExCorporateRN's topic in General Nursing

    You can do Hedis chart reviews. It's data collection on your days off & you definitely get to do a lot of sitting! And you get to travel to different doctors office & see different settings which is cool.

13. Not allowed to SIT during 12 hour shift and MORE

    cubelle replied to katieusa's topic in Med-Surg

    That sounds like it would go against labor laws! Good luck on your next job, & hopefully your former job will change their ways when they see that they can't keep nurses.

14. On-Set Movie Nursing Jobs

    cubelle replied to Hobie4's topic in General Nursing

    Another thing you can do if you have the 3 12's a week schedule is extra work. I do regular extra work on the show Army Wives & even played a nurse at a German military hospital. Very fun! Also, they sometimes have nurses who advise the crew ...

15. Awsome Shoes that you feet never hurt in!!

    cubelle replied to curleysue's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I've found that the MBT's work awesome for some people, and some people hate them. I was unfortunately in the second group. They were too hard on my arches. Merrell's work great for me. But we are all unique, in even our feet!
