   madame_morphine replied to pixie34dust's topic in Career Support

   I have done quite a few on medline university. Yes, most of them are one hour, but they are free and they have a lot of different subject areas. I love wound care and the are 3 full pages of wound care CEUs.

2. I want to leave nursing!

   madame_morphine replied to madame_morphine's topic in Career Support

   I am still working part time in home health. I wouldn't say it's something that I really enjoy. I'm doing it because it's paying my bills right now. The thing is that I don't enjoy patient care anymore. I still enjoy teaching. I still love wound care...

3. I want to leave nursing!

   madame_morphine posted a topic in Career Support

   I have been a nurse for over 5 years. I started as an LPN and continued on to get my RN. I really wanted to specialize, and not only can I not afford certification, there are no jobs in my area. Moving is out of the question. The jobs that are avail...

4. Non-bedside nursing jobs- what's out there?

   madame_morphine posted a topic in Career Support

   I've been working 3 jobs and I'm exhausted (mentally and physically). I do both LTC and home health. I'm to the point where I'm ready to leave bedside nursing altogether. Anyone know what's out there for an RN (who used to be an LPN) as far as non-be...

6. Is it OK to say no to a nurse?

   madame_morphine replied to MsPebbles's topic in Relations

   I am an RN and I'm always asking my STNAs to do little things for me. Vitals, stool samples....whatever. My aides are what keep me going! If she knew someone needed a bedpan, why couldn't she have at least put them ON the bedpan? I'd rather go in to ...

7. How Long Did It Take To Have A Good Grasp of MDS/RNAC Job?

   madame_morphine replied to MichelletheRN's topic in MDS

   I am curious about your situation. I have an interview coming up for an MDS position. I was told that the position was split between MDS and floor hours. Not sure that this is the greatest idea, however it is a small, rural nursing home. After readin...

9. HELP! New grad needs job in COLUMBUS, OH!

   madame_morphine replied to kkad22's topic in Ohio

   Good luck! I've been looking since last May. The job situation sucks in Ohio right now. I had previous LPN experience, but apparently it doesn't count for anything in the RN world. You might try Nationwide Children's if you are into peds. There are ...
