1. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

   BellaRoseRN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in COVID

   Hi. I am kind of surprised by how many nurses seem to be subscribing to bad theories and non-science based information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. I know nurses who believe COVID-19 is a hoax and the Democrats did it and it would disappear after...

2. New Grads: Lets take action together!!

   BellaRoseRN replied to aubrn's topic in Job Hunt

   The hospitals don't really need new grads. It's expensive to train you, it will take months before you are truly functional in the position you take. And you may get the job and realize you hate it! It sounds like you have a lot of energy and that is...

3. Spokane Community College Waitlist???

   BellaRoseRN replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Washington

   Tickle Ur Ivories---just something to consider here. When you graduate from SCC you will probably try to find a job at a place like Providence or the like, and I think as an employee there with an ADN, it is important for you ALL to know that they ar...

4. I'm very tired after bad job experience

   BellaRoseRN replied to oldLPN's topic in General Nursing

   You know the right thing and it sounds like you were doing the right thing too! I work in an ACU at a hospital and I can tell you that we see our share of patients admitted from LTC with questionable falls, open sores that have gone gang busters and ...

5. Need advice!!!! I hate my job

   BellaRoseRN replied to moni777's topic in General Nursing

   Wow! Bet you had no idea that you would get this much attention for your comment! I don't know what field you have previously worked in or if you are a young puppy with gobs of energy, (which you WILL need exponentially!), but the world of student nu...

6. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

   BellaRoseRN replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

   In light of this touchy subject, isn't it interesting how many nurses and other health professionals smoke and are obese? Of all people, we know the dangers and choose to either smoke and over-eat or either or. Who hasn't seen an obese cardiologist? ...

7. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

   BellaRoseRN replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

   I would nix the sugar free drinks, I have heard that the artificial sweetners are actually linked to an increase in body weight! Not the healthy alternative that the soda companies would like you to believe. Don't be so hard on yourself! We all have ...

8. Orientation without an orientor....

   BellaRoseRN replied to ladybugJan's topic in New Nurse

   Wow. What about safety first? We are educated professionals and we should not be put in a position that feels unsafe. After all, if a nurse feels unsafe then what does that say? Employees at McDonalds receive more training than it sounds like your fa...

9. Seeking employment, need advice.

   BellaRoseRN replied to Sunny Lioness's topic in General Nursing

   You are not alone! It seems that alot of us new nurses are feeling very discouraged, and it is easy to start to feel like you are never going to get a job! In my experience, there isn't really a LACK of jobs, it is just super difficult to get the int...

10. Seriously discouraged at this point and need some friendly advice...

    BellaRoseRN replied to BellaRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone! Thank you so much for the thoughts and advice. It is good to hear other's insights. I know the job market is so tight right now and that is everywhere...except maybe Alaska. I have heard that the first year is the most difficult and may...

11. Seriously discouraged at this point and need some friendly advice...

    BellaRoseRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all! Ok, this is my first thread EVER, but I am a stay at home mommy right now so I have a little time to post! And vent. Little recap on me...graduated with an ADN in June 2009 from community college in that had lost it's NLN accreditation bef...

12. NP vs PA for me personally?

    BellaRoseRN replied to Penguins In Guam's topic in General Students

    My husband is a PA-C and I think that there is a big difference between the training of a NP and a PA-C. From what I have seen, not only can you be more flexible because PA schools don't make you chose a track of focus, you also get a more intense ed...

13. Recent grads, hang in there...

    BellaRoseRN replied to ProBeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I vote for plan B! Seriously, though, good job! I don't know where you all live, but it's tough in Washington State too.

14. Spokane Community College Waitlist???

    BellaRoseRN replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Washington

    Hey Student00...if you graduated in June 09', then we were classmates! I hope all is well with you and I was curious what (if any) actions are being taken regarding the accreditation issue. I must have gotten lucky and been hired at SHMC without havi...
