1. COVID vaccine given way too low in the arm

   grad2012RN replied to SN2751's topic in COVID

   I read that even pharmacy technicians and CNAs (they are not MAs), can give the vaccines in my state.

2. Currently a Travel Nurse - feel free to ask me anything about it.

   grad2012RN replied to TRVL.RN's topic in Travel

   @TRAVEL.RN, Is there a set dollar percentage that the recruiter can take from contracts offered by a hospital? I ask this because I recently saw the exact same job at two different agencies, and one agency offered $420 more weekly salary. The s...

3. Covid Vaccine

   grad2012RN replied to mariaconcetta's topic in COVID

   Thanks for the advice. I've been giving flu shots and other immunizations for a few years, and just learned something new. Also, we get yearly training for flu clinics. I wonder if the pharmacists and firefighters that are administering vaccinat...

7. Now that they approved my reinstatement don't know if I want it

   grad2012RN replied to 5150RNKAT's topic in Retired

   Hey Kat, Many congrats to you and your sobriety! I'm someone who became a nurse at an older age and I've learned the HARD way that med-surg is not for some of us 40+ year olds.... unless you're a charge nurse. I used to think people with substance ab...

8. Job search tips for new grad NPs

   grad2012RN replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   You may find a career opportunity, if you're interested, in Gerontology/Geriatrics/Older Adults. I worked in this area for two years and may return to it. It's a very fulfilling area of nursing for some! Best wishes to you and congrats on getting you...

9. Breaching StaRN Contract

   grad2012RN replied to Bella_CO's topic in New Nurse

   Nursing school led us to believe that our work day only consisted of assessments, giving meds, critical thinking, and superhero RN runs in during codes or some other incident. You may have thought those clinical rotation sites were fully staffed, the...

10. RNs Don't Help CNAs

    grad2012RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    Don't take this the wrong way. But, I've never seen a CNA/PCA on my unit, not take a lunch break. As a matter of fact, almost all, routinely take an hour for lunch. If by chance I do get a break, there is a 95 % chance it will be interrupted and I wo...

11. Quitting Your APRN Gig?

    grad2012RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in Advanced

    Great! These are all the reasons I want to quit my job now and get an advanced nursing degree. You mean I have to put up with the same bull-crap after all that additional money and extra studying?! p.s. - I don't have BSN in my user name because ther...

12. Adult Depends/Underwear

    grad2012RN posted a topic in Safety

    Is it ethical or even legal for me to kindly suggest to a client that she start using adult diaper-underwear (aka Depends, Poise, etc.)? I'm going to be brief because I don't want to be recognized by any coworkers, should I give all the details. Wh...

13. Difficult co-worker

    grad2012RN replied to GM1928's topic in Professionalism

    Hi ST1959, Hope you find a new and better position soon! Also, my prayers go out to your father and to you, as his caregiver. I'm also dealing with a bully MSW (social worker) at my new job. I've been there less than two months, and there is drama, ...

14. Do you need all those degrees?

    grad2012RN replied to dnsonthego's topic in Professionalism

    Maybe you should have chosen a different user name on that dating site. I really didn't want to know that you like doing "it" EVERYDAY. Yikes?!?

15. I have a dilemma

    grad2012RN replied to toyosee's topic in Job Hunt

    Smile when you give your responses. :) Phone interviews can be harder than face-to-face encounters sometimes. It's the first step in the screening process. You have to pass it, in order to get to the hiring manager or panel. I've had some that are le...
