   I will be attending UAB this Spring. UAB has the #11 program in the country for FNP. It is an online program, but you do have to go to Birmingham every once in a while (I think it may be once a semester for a couple of days...not sure yet...still n...

3. New grad that can't find any work

   GLG78 replied to raygun354's topic in General Nursing

   Call the hospital's nurse recruiter in HR. If the hospital is big enough, they should have a person that has this dedicated job. They usually handle placing new grads. The one at our hospital is great! Also, be willing to work on any floor/unit. ...

8. Pregnancy: best during nursing school or as a new hire?

   GLG78 replied to science in flowers's topic in General Nursing

   I have been an RN for 5 years, and have to agree with the above post, nursing school is much more stressful and time consuming than working. In most hospital jobs, you work 3 days per week. Many employers are also very flexible with schedules and u...

13. Pet Peeve

    GLG78 replied to MadNursePa's topic in General Nursing

    GLG78 replied to dolphinbeauty09's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...you reported this after only 45 minutes of a patient's return to the floor? And to a supervisor? You should have just approached the RN for the patient and asked if you could help her out by placing an armband on the patient and placing a hat...
