2. Chi Eta Phi?

   Enright replied to LuvaNurse04's topic in General Nursing

   I only asked about the ethnic make-up of the group because there are many fine Greek organizations which are exclusive to African Americans. I thought this might be one. It wasn't clear from the web site.

3. Chi Eta Phi?

   Enright replied to LuvaNurse04's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a member of Sigma Theta Tau which has done quite a bit to enhance my nursing career. I'm proud of the affiliation. I'd never heard of Chi Eta Phi so I looked at their web site. Although it isn't mentioned, is this a nursing society exclusively fo...

4. Question for nurses who came into the career late...

   Enright replied to Cryssi's topic in General Nursing

   Cryssi...there are an awful lot of us later in life nurses. One of the things I suggest is that you might talk to a nearby school of nursing ...ADN or BSN... and ask for a pre-requisite list. What I did was take night classes for several years until ...

5. Wisconsin Nurses

   Enright replied to moonshadeau's topic in Wisconsin

   I don't feel the WNA has anything to offer me except for high dues. I do get a lot from my professional organizations...ARN, Sigma Theta Tau. They also don't cost so much (all together their annual does do not add up to the high WNA fees) I know that...

6. State budget crisis worsens Nursing shortage

   Enright replied to nell's topic in General Nursing

   Wisconsin state-employee nurses have not had a raise in 2 years. Now they are starting to finalize some layoffs of those who take care of our developmetnally disabled. Although few nurses will actually be laid off, those of us who remain are vastly u...

7. Nursing Certifications after RN

   Enright replied to jgg765's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, CRRN is the cert for rehabilitation. It ends up being a love hate thing in your life....lots of care and feeding (CEUs) but it can bear fruit. I don't know if this is true for other specialties but rehab went through a crisis of membership with...

8. Nursing Certifications after RN

   Enright replied to jgg765's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a CRRN and have been for 11 years. The test was not easy and the requirements to document CEUs can be a pain. BUT, the CRRN has opened a lot of doors for me and has given me an employment edge at several jobs. At my most current job, I was hired ...

9. Do you have to be a Nurse before a NP?

   Enright replied to Soon2BNP's topic in General Nursing

   I've always found this question frightening, and I am hearing it more and more. (I believe it was asked sincerely, tho, so no flames). It is as if there is a mindset amongst the direct-to-NP crowd that registered nursing is beneath them. I find it b...

10. ROLL CALL - Case Managers!!!

    Enright replied to LasVegasRN's topic in Case Management

    I did case management (work comp) for an insurance company for 5 years and an additional few years as the RN supervisor of same. I now do case management in a community health setting for state government. I have my rehab certification (CRRN) but hav...

    Enright replied to jaxnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was a night shifter for all my hospital years...doing a desk RN job now. My experience was a lot different than other posters...at my central city pediatric hospital, visitors didn't start showing up until 7 pm and came and went all night. At night...

12. Crossing the line of professionalism

    Enright replied to slugirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to add another perspective....I am a government employee (RN) in a state agency. My phone rings all day long with high school and college students essentially wanting me to do their research for them on a wide range of topics (having nothing...

13. sleeping staff

    Enright replied to night owl's topic in Safety

    Thanks, ACNORN...I was beginning to think I was alone in my outrage. I always found it hard enough, flat out running, when a patient or a parent would say "oh, did I wake you up?" when I answered a light. But other nurses indicating this is sort of o...

14. its.....SNOWING!!!!!

    Enright replied to nimbex's topic in Safety

    Our tourism industry here in Wisconsin would really appreciate it if you all could send some snow here. In my town we have not even had a half inch yet this winter. I'll never forget a Christmas vacation where DH and I drove to Phoenix through Amari...

15. sleeping staff

    Enright replied to night owl's topic in Safety

    I was a full time night nurse for 12 years, 11p to 7:30 a. I am horrified to hear that this goes on still. I always took it as a personal and professional reponsibility to get enough sleep to do my job. When I was a night manager, I fired people I fo...
