   Considering a Change - Not Sure of Career Path

   HeyNurse2014 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   My apologies for being clueless - What is HIM? I wondered the exact same thing. Know that a lot of folks will post and never look at the discussion again, I googled HIM. It means Health Information Management. The next post has CDI. Again, google......

   Where in the US do they need RNs really bad?

   HeyNurse2014 replied to Nazzerena's topic in General Nursing

   While I can't speak of Indiana, Oregon hospitals want BSN nurses. I made the mistake of listening to a nurse recruiter who wasn't upfront with me. Once I got to Portland I realized the rental market was so tight landlords could ask and get any price ...

   Uncensored Thoughts of a Nurse Interviewer

   HeyNurse2014 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Support

   My school nor local hospitals hosted anything like the dinner you described. It was every man (woman) for themselves in the job hunt. What I'm finding frustrating is (one) the new desire for BSN only and the computer based application process that bo...

   Cra Cra co-workers

   HeyNurse2014 replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

   Before I read this thread I was wondering why I'm having a hard time getting a job. (Just moved and will be starting a RN to BSN program in January). Now I realize I'm not crazy enough.

   RN-BSN program

   HeyNurse2014 replied to FLRNSTUDENT's topic in Florida

   I don't know a whole lot about your choices except Keiser which is expensive. USF in Tampa also has an online only program. 6 credits x 5 semesters and your done. Cost is around $7k depending on books and likely tuition increases.

   Good for you. All the hospitals I've applied to "prefer" you over my ADN even though have a bachelors in a different or non nursing major. Hoping to start an RN to BSN program soon.

   Do you share the Nebulizer units (machines)?

   HeyNurse2014 replied to ann7's topic in Geriatric

   yup. At one place I worked it was pretty common to go "borrow" one from a resident who wasn't using it at the moment. The facility would occasionally buy one or two new ones to replace broken ones. (For whatever reason these were often found broken o...

    Soooo discouraged:( First Med Error

    HeyNurse2014 replied to LuvTheNurse's topic in Geriatric

    Biggest pet peeve... interrupts when I'm pulling meds. It's bad enough in the med room but I've also dealt with those dreaded med carts. Being out in the hallway with patients coming up demanding you drop what you're doing to demand a PRN they can't ...

    Portland-Nice place to visit but dont stay?

    HeyNurse2014 replied to puravidaLV's topic in Oregon

    I agree... nice to visit but am looking to leave as soon as my current lease completes. It's not the weather, it's the people I see everyday in east Portland. Tons of homeless, panhandling on street corners and car break-ins. Now that marijuana has p...
