  2. Nurse with disabilities trying to find a job that fits

    It seems that hospital case management i a great thing in the midwest. I have a friend who got in with no experience. I have 8 years of experience here in Florida, and they are always interested until they get to the question of "Can you lift at l...

    Everyone was so helpful with my last topic! My friend and I were talking about Newborn Nursery Nurses and several questions came to mind. First...how do you feel about the training that Newborn Nursery nurses receive? Should they have NICU experie...

  5. Evidence based practice for newborn care

    Hi! I am looking for some information. A friend of mine is doing some research to help change the way they do things at their hospital's newborn nursery. She needs information on first baths (what to wash with), cord care (what to use), first f...
  6. Nurse with disabilities trying to find a job that fits

    I have to agree with you, Brandy! I am 51 and am NOT interested in a BSN or MSN at this point of my life. The money that would have to go out would not be justified! I am hoping that afjgnp has the ability to use what she has to find something els...
  7. Nurse with disabilities trying to find a job that fits

    No need to apologize. Soemtimes I think that someone in the same profession is the only one who can truly understand how it is to be in a position that causes great pain, but also the thought of having to do something else causes a different kind of...
  8. Nurse with disabilities trying to find a job that fits

    Dear afjgnp...I am so sorry to hear that you are having problems and I know where you are coming from! I can totally understand your frustration. I, too, am in a similar situation. I have been looking for work I can do as an RN for almost 4 years n...
  9. When will being an RN stop sucking?

    I totally agree that it is quite challenging to change specialties in nursing. Yes...there are many options for nurses to choose from, but (and I speak from experience here) once you go into a particular area (mine is Neonatal ICU and Pediatrics) th...
  10. Orienting a new hire - issues

    Been there and done that! After we were concerned about a new hire that wasn't doing well and was having a bad attitude when questioned, we started digging into her references, etc! Turns out her license was fake! I almost threw up! I cannot stre...
  11. Are job seekers self-limiting job opportunities?

    I have to say that it is a little of both. Although I have been looking for a job as a full time RN for over two years, part of my problem is finding a job that I can do as I have a spinal cord injury and nerve impingement in my neck and that comes ...
  12. Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    I can definitely understand how you feel but having 30 years of exprience and no BSN gets me the same rejection. There is no happy medium.
  13. Trying to decide if I can do it with physical ailments

    I am currently working with a pediatric home health care company, but due to the weight lift restrictions, I have very slim pickings. I have not had anything in a month. I currently am lucky enough to have a baby coming back on board this week that...
  14. Trying to decide if I can do it with physical ailments

    Hi. I am an RN with the exact problem as you, but on my right side. I have bulging discs at C5-6 and C6-7 with nerve impingement at C7 and a compressed spinal cord. I have been lucky that epidural steroids have kept my pain and tingling/numbness a...
  15. Heartbroken

    My dear friend. I wish I could say that I don't know what you are going through, but I do. I have been fighting these demons for over 11 years. They have always found a way to keep me just out of reach of a job. I have one thing that is worse. T...
