   MsbossyRN replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Uniform/Gear

   lol I've gotten so used to wearing clean scrub tops over jeans to nursing school. That I still throw such things on when I'm running errands. To me scrub tops are comfy with some good jeans. As far my scrubs that I wear to work, I usually walk throug...

7. Electonic documentation,how much time does it take from the bedside?

   MsbossyRN replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

   Some places use great electronic systems. We are no allowed to double chart. If its checked off in one program, no need to put it somewhere else. Charting by exception helps too. I would rather chart on a computer as opposed to paper charting any day...

    MsbossyRN replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in General Nursing

    Quick question: Why why why would one spend soo much to become an RN when there are much cheaper options available? I could have sworn I saw 100,000 in student loan debt. I'm really sleeply after working a 12 :nuke:, so I might be wrong. But 100,000 ...

    MsbossyRN replied to SDALPN's topic in General Nursing

13. How does a new grad become a CCRN?

    MsbossyRN replied to Lululi's topic in General Nursing

    Do the flu shots. It gives you a job as an RN, and a reference if you are dependable and such. Also it can lead to networking into hospitals and to other jobs. I did not get any responses as a new grad anywhere until i started working for flu clinics...

    MsbossyRN replied to newbie9365's topic in Criminal

    It usually stays in your system about 30 days. No you won't be reported you just will not get the job. You will more than likely get blacklisted if that hospital is part of a network under the same name. If you get offered a job don't fail the test :...

    MsbossyRN replied to rainswhisper,RN's topic in Career Support

    Honestly I do not think employers look to highly at RNs or LPNs working as aides. There first thoughts are "Why has this person not worked or is not working as an RN". I still say apply everywhere that you can and try any position with the title RN. ...
