Two months ago, I was contacted about a job that I applied to, roughly 6 months prior to that time. And I was asked to come in for an interview. Even though I was already employed full-time by then, I was still very interested in this other job and ...
GimiRN replied to ruthalittle's topic in Home Health
I've been a nurse for a while, but am new to home health. I started a few months ago as a per diem visit nurse. I got paid per visit, and the rate depended on what I was doing (admission, discharge, supervision, etc). I couldn't take all the driving ...

You may not be homebound...if when I finally reached you by phone, you had just come in from a 170 mile road trip, that you took on your motorcycle that day.
Something about that commercial rubbed me the wrong way when I first saw it. I don't know if I felt it was sappy, icky, creepy, or just plain wrong. But my response was something along the lines of, "Oh please." LOL I only did Hospice for two years, ...
I don't know that I'd want to get involved in that. What if he gets upset and confronts management, telling them that you told him it was posted, and they didn't want him to know yet? Then what if they start to look at you in a different light? Peopl...

Sorry to hear that you were let go, OP. I know it feels awful right now, but this will pass!! :heartbeat While I'm sure some will disagree, I'm with those who say not to list this job on your resume. Several years ago I gave two weeks notice during o...
If they don't hire RNs, how does she plan to pull this off? Will the two of you tell patients and co-workers you are an LPN? How will you be signing your name? I don't see how this will work. And the fact that she tells you she will lie for you, spe...
Your view on nursing is very negative. True, that's not to say that you can't eventually find your "niche" as someone suggested. However, many jobs that exclude some of the things you mentioned you dislike, require actual experience. For example, you...
There's nothing from your story that indicates your instructor was picking on you or singling you out. She asked you what you were doing. What's wrong with that? She mentioned that your patient was agitated when she saw you in the back. Again, I don'...
I agree. I did this for every single exam when I was in school, as did many of my classmates. It really helps. And after you meet with your instructor, you can try speaking with some of the other students in your class, to see what has been helping t...
Thanks for sharing, OP. I have heard this before, but it touched me the same as it did, the very first time I read it. Regardless of the version, the message is still the same for me. It's a reminder of some of the things (and people) we take for gra...
GimiRN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing
Okay, well I didn't get the part about them thinking they were "too good" to be a floor nurse. It more came across as if they wanted to shoot straight through to NP, and you felt they needed to pay their dues. And my response was basically wondering ...
GimiRN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing
Just because someone doesn't have the same goals as you do, doesn't make them wrong. I don't get why you find this so appalling. Time spent on the floor doesn't necessarily equal great nurse, or great nurse practitioner, for that matter.
Try not to take it too personally. Like someone said, you will find ungrateful people everywhere. So don't take the negative comments to heart. And for what it's worth, she sounded more like she was making light of the fact that he actually had a si...
