    Many Turn to Craigslist For Lifesaving Drugs

    It's a symptom of a bigger problem and yes, there is some risk, but this practice is probably helping more people than it hurts.
  2. I live near a Reservation. i have checked into IHS jobs and they seem to want RNs that have L/D experience. I applied with them and never heard back (i dont have l/d experience). There is also indian preference for those positions. I personal...

    Wife is an RN, Can't find job in Las Vegas

    Do yourself a favor and get a year of experience in MN before trying to relocate to LV. It could be very difficult for you to get into a hospital job as a new grad especially since you don't have the "local" advantage of having done clinicals there,...

    Can anyone speak of the market conditions for nurses in the southern part of the state - specifically St George? Are they any different than SLC?

    Paper charting in acute care

    Rocking in the same boat, friend. I work in a facility that still uses paper MARS and an outdated computer program for charting. I can't believe it's still legal.
  6. Nothing like reviving a 3 year old thread but I'm really struggling with finding childcare for 9 and 5 year olds and wondering about how to get them into extracurricular activities when I do not have a set schedule.

  8. My employer could care less if I have a BSN. My manager does not have hers. I think it will depend a lot on your geographic location as to what employers requirements will be, as has been stated before in this thread. Educational "requirements" a...

    Moving to Another Area - New Grad

    Post your resume online. Recruiters often will direct you to the underserved critical access hospitals in rural areas.

    Nursing shortage???

    I live in a rural "shortage" area and am seeing evidence that is not necessary the case anymore. There are 2 RNs resigning this month from my unit and they were able to replace them immediately - as well as hire a float to cover vacations. However ...

    Software for RN Oversight

    Our facility is going to be getting a software system called therap. I've not used it yet but hear that it was specifically designed for ID/DD facilities.

    Direct Support Professional working with ID/DD individuals

    Are you not able to request PRN medication (for example, lorazepam)for the clients when they are having behaviors? How many clients are you caring for at one time?

    Front Range Community College

    I graduated from F RCC 10 years ago but have since left CO. I doubt FRCC is any better or worse than any other community college ADN program. I passed the NCLEx with no problem but felt I did not get the best clinical experiences. I think the prob...

    Quit great job to stay home with baby?

    Kindle ironic that a company that is in the business of promoting maternal health cannot/will not do so for their own employee.
