1. Certified Nursing Assistant jobs in New York City area

   jacobstein replied to jacobstein's topic in Job Hunt

   It would definitely be to the patients' benefits to have more RNs. With the aging population and all that, we should be seeing an RN boom. Before the recession there were recruiters chasing new RN grads; so legend has it. I wonder however how much sh...

   jacobstein replied to jacobstein's topic in Job Hunt

   Thank you. I have actually been reading some stories that due to budget cuts, many facilities are hiring more CNAs and fewer RNs and that this may be why the RN "shortage" suddenly ended a few years ago and new grad RNs are going crazy trying to find...

   Coming soon - hidden microphones next to the water cooler. And in the rest rooms. I actually won't be surprised.

   I think some HR people are a little bored so they have become the Internet Gestapo. And I believe in most states, this is legal. Just incidentally, I lost my job 20 months ago because my CEO didn't like my blog (which was in no way work related, it's...

   My wife is Russian and over there, under Communism, you don't tell anyone anything personal except for immediate family members. I guess America is moving that way.

   I have an impression that with the recession going on and the job market so poor, employers are taking advantage and becoming very nasty. We are now serfs. If we have a job at all.

    jacobstein replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Relations

    My wife is Russian. You know the culture there is to keep everything very private, lots of secrets, don't tell anything even your last name to anyone except your own immediate family. I guess America is getting there too, with nutty HR people.

    jacobstein replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Relations

    Personally, I wouldn't get too carried away or nervous about all this. The fact is, that unless you have a contract and a union or something like that behind you, you can and will be fired if for any reason if your employer wants you out. He may just...

14. "Medic" to replace the term "nurse"

    jacobstein replied to stevea's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe that's part of the reason why there are so few men. Does anyone remember the movie "Meet the Parents"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meet_the_Parents#Plot It was a big joke that the Ben Stiller was a "nurse", and he was only validated because he...

    I think the guy who just too my vitals/chief complaint was an lpn. I suggest male nurses declare a hunger strike until death until they can be medical assistants.
