Loved Love's response above! Nothing else to add here. Good luck!

Make sure they truly are trouble-makers. You may find they ones pointing the fingers are the real culprits. Judge for yourself, then deal with it promptly... document all discipline. Follow...

Absolutely not. IMO, you're not taking 18 months off from nursing.

Absolutely! Self-development, able to help others, and never been without a decent job for long. I'll add most of my schooling was paid by others (and the MBA entirely... thanks to my employer).

Agree, Savoy. Don't even want OT. So look forward to my time off for family, friends, hobbies, etc.

Leadership ability, skill in dealing with management and staff, previous management experience, and my MBA. Good luck!

Left a similar post after two months. No way to get the job done without putting in oodles of extra time. Wasn't willing to do it... no matter the compensation. Enjoy my free time too much. ...

Glad I'm not salaried!

If you're under 40, definitely plan on getting a BSN, if you intend on staying in nursing and you don't already have a BS in another discipline. If you feel like starting it now, do it. Start...

Make sure it's properly accredited.

Thanks, Chare. Yeah, I didn't think most nurses were encroaching on the work of pathologists. Let's see if someone gets to the bottom of this req.

[QUOTE=DragonRN;7330766]... unfortunately for the patient means face down sometimes.[/QU This is the most common position I've encountered.

Liked it, Karen. Very timely at work. Thanks!

This all sounds kinda weird if it applies to a longstanding nurse. Haven't heard of any new legislation or reg that is on point. Perhaps Nurse Karen of this board has an answer. Can the OP...

No, no, no! This is a huge asset for you. If you're really serious about being in this field, address it upfront. Highlight it. Let 'em in your letter and resume. Let 'em know your intentions...

Totally baffled that some facilities are using this process!

As the hiring sup, I'd have that on my mind. You may wanna be proactive about the issue at the interview... or even before that.

That's fine and dandy so long as everything that's being required of nurses is reasonably do-able within the time being allotted. Consider all the issues often encountered at different facilities:...

Don't see the need to list your specific license number on the resume. (Really, who cares whether it's 345567, or 356789?) Waste of resume space??? Waste of the reader's/reviewer's attention???

Work 16-hr shifts on the weekend, and off Mon thru Fri. Walk close to 10 miles on the job! Workout in the gym Tues & Fri for 30 min, and walk 30 min outside on Wed & Thur. Light activity around...

Jobst 20/30s will help slow their progression. A lot depends on genetics. Stay at a normal weight. Put your legs up at every opportunity. Had the VNus surgery last year. Worked great!

IMHO, you'll need experience behind you to handle Worker's Comp at home. Worked as a WC field case manager years ago, and during slow times was called into the office for telephone case management....

If you're physically fit, intelligent, serious about returning to nursing, and make a good in-person presentation, you may possibly be hired in LTC. Suggest you first take an RN refresher class......

Great... presuming you have good presentation & clinical skills. Good luck! With your degree alone, you'll already have a huge edge on nearly all in the field.

Heard the deadline was 2014.
