Since there is a glut of new grads and for that matter nurses the government should immediately eliminate the H1B visa program. Then if that doesn't do the trick of our tax dollars being spent to...

Please tell us all where these places are. The year i graduated the only recruiters to show up to a job fair at an expensive Catholic university required new grads to do 2 years in Iraq. That...

And when that student is doing research they should not be misled by false information from that nursing school. Most of the schools in my area stopped lying about the shortage a couple of years ago...

You already have one expensive jobless degree with way too many people in the field. But at least with law they aren't adding insult to injury by flooding even more people in with visas. Think very...

The state of Florida and many others now try to generate revenue by selling criminal histories on the internet to anyone with a credit card. The FBI intends to enter this new field of commerce known...

Just part of the culture. How many times have you heard discussions about how perturbed overweight patients make staff? At least se spared you the anger. The thing is would you have half as many...

Isn't the premise that they will incur increased heath care costs they same criteria that behooves employers not to hire workers over 40?

The shortage was a projected shortage. They thought that boomers would have jobs and or retirement medical benefits like the previous generation (1929-1945 dob) which is simply not true. Since the...

Since there is a glut of unemployed nurses why do we still have H1b visas? Are there reciprocal agreements for our nurses to go to these other countries and work? Other than as volunteers. Why does...

Congratulations on getting that critical first job. There definitely are strained circumstances if a person with only 6 months is acting as preceptor. However, that sort of flexibility could be...

The Phillippines suffered 400 years of brutal spanish colonization. Tagalog is largely spanish and was created so they could speak to each other in front of their oppressors. The many spanish words...

Don't wait out too long because then you will be considered stale and have to hunt down the rare and elusive nursing refresher course. Hard to stay upbeat when you feel overwhelmed but put on a brave...

These convolutions to accommodate seem to me to push away from measurable results toward more subjective analysis. There is an air of rationalization woven into your arguments. While small grammar or...

Go to the hospital where you hope to find employment and see if any of the new grads they hire are over 30. Or if they hire new grads at all....

We should always remember that hearing is the last to go. Kindness and kind words are never wasted.

As my daughter put it unless it is a job as a model or a stripper then they have no valid reason to ask for your photo. Nursing is not an appearance related job. Nor does your appearance reflect your...

grasshopper do enlighten us where is the urban area where you know of a shortage? As for baby boomers supplying you with a coming shortage. Don't hold your breath they have 401Ks instead of pensions...

I feel they do imply a shortage. I emailed them that the situation is quite the opposite and they wrote back claiming there is a shortage and a projected shortage coming down the pike any day now....

The claim is that is was the enforcement of the rule that targeted them.That will be difficult to prove. It could seem that way because of differing levels of compliance or just perception. I did not...

Maybe you should keep some older nurses in the profession. Lots of age discrimination in hiring and retention too. Maybe you have never watched but all the women in the audience can't wait to hug Dr....

Interesting how so many comments about 12's are not patient safety focused but rather about your days off in a row. In other words about not-nursing really. 12's especially where they mix day and...

Wow under 30 is no good and over 40 you get pressured to get out and / or won't be hired. Pretty narrow window.

400 hundred years of spanish colonialism some cultural backlash. English is learned all through schooling in the Philippines. No reason to not speak it in a professional setting. It should be suspect...

I lso had a clinical instructor who had big attitude against her older student - me. She asked me to turn in a 10 page paper a week early with one day notice. I had a job and 2 kids. She constantly...

Once you are a year out they consider you stale. A nursing home on a busy street in SF had one opening. Track meds for 90 patients. 700+ applicants in one day. Don't know if they even were...
