1. what states NEED nurses ?

   GLB_68 replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

   It's MS not Ms. And there is no such thing as a "critical access hospital." Don't believe everything you "see in the paper." Please learn on your own before posting hospital propaganda.

2. what states NEED nurses ?

   GLB_68 replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

   Mississippi is absolutely glutted with nurses. Way too many nursing schools here cranking out new grads here whilst very few get hired. In my small town we have 5 programs graduating RN's twice a year as well as one state University graduating RN's...

3. Nursing School Essay-Peer Edit/Critique

   GLB_68 replied to jiwonkim89's topic in Student Assist

   Snark much? Did you happen to ask the nursing schools you that requested the essay if posting on AN requesting "peer-editing" for a PERSONAL essay was OK? Didn't think so because you knew it's not OK.

4. No burn out....enough is enough!

   GLB_68 replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

   I first heard it here but it can't be repeated enough. There never was a nursing shortage. There was and is only a shortage of nurses willing and physically/mentally able to put us with the impossible demands made on us.

5. No burn out....enough is enough!

   GLB_68 replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

   There is no nursing shortage. The hospitals purposely work us short so that they can pocket the profits. It's no skin off their nose if you are exhausted, make a mistake then lose your license. They've always had a ready pool of nurses (US based a...

6. NCSBN commercial

   GLB_68 replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

   don't agree because hospitals and nursing homes are required to check the two national healthcare data banks and nurse and the state bon before hire. then every two years hospitals recheck the employed nurses for criminal records and again they rech...

7. NCSBN commercial

   GLB_68 replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

   lol The ad strikes me as the national council attempting to justify their nice paychecks. The money could have been much better spent. Our employers do regular checks on our background and activities and as others said the public knows how to fi...

8. Take job offer or keep looking?

   GLB_68 replied to ChloBear's topic in Geriatric

   Most RN's from my graduating class are still looking for nursing jobs too. If I were you I'd take it but practice defensively to protect your license.

9. need some advise regarding workplace harassment

   GLB_68 replied to hardware syndrome's topic in Relations

   OP, why did they say they'd report you to the 'board of nurses' if Canadian nurses use a different term for their disciplinary board?

10. accidental fingerstick

    GLB_68 replied to chiuli's topic in General Nursing

    The BON is to report unethical or unprofessional conduct and violations of the NPA. If this LTC or hospital had no needle stick policy then they should be reported to OSHA not the BON. If the facility didn't follow policy then OP should call an at...

11. Is it true that male new grads are not struggling

    GLB_68 replied to gtshin30303's topic in General Nursing

    Male and female new grad RNs from my class are having equal trouble finding jobs.

12. Sleeping on the job

    GLB_68 replied to mairose15's topic in General Nursing

    I think you put your license at risk by not reporting her. RNs are mandatory reporters. When I was a CNA I had to report someone. I didn't like being in that position but I had to think of the patients. btw The person was able to figure out I w...

13. Jobs scarce for nurses

    GLB_68 posted a topic in General Nursing

    As an unemployed new grad RN I was wondering why you hear so much about the "nurse shortage". Then I came across this article. Turns out there is an over supply of new grads nurses. Even experienced nurses around Virgina are having trouble finding...

14. Volunteering?

    GLB_68 replied to BigB_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I'll be interested to read any replies you get. I've had no luck in my job search and have thought of volunteering at a hospital or clinic to make connections.

15. I am so tired of bedside nursing!!!

    This thread is from 2008. I guess not much has changed.
