   kdonna replied to tsm007's topic in New Nurse

   Be glad you are DONE!!! I worked at a nursing home for exactly 4 months starting last August. It was my first nursing job and it payed equal to the hospital. 6/8 hours of second shift was medication pass. Yes, butt creams, dressing/bandage change...

2. It's out of my hands now

   kdonna replied to bsartor's topic in Career Support

   You will start getting calls for interviews......depends on the types of jobs you've applied to. I started with manpower and was hired to work in corrections (first interview) since it was in a prison for the criminally insane, I waited to see what...

3. I Hate LT: How I Want to Fix It

   kdonna replied to libran1984's topic in Geriatric

   Advocating on the part of people who cannot advocate for themselves is compassionate and ethical care. Young and inexperienced, does that mean it bothers you that they show concern. You are correct to take yourself out because clearly, you were in ...

   kdonna replied to tapis1326's topic in Career Support

   kdonna replied to vada86's topic in Michigan

   I just graduated!! It is not too hard especially if you take the "supplemental" courses that go along with 150,155 & 221,222. I didn't even know about them, and by the time I figured it out, I could not get into them as space was limited and re...
