Ok, I tried to post a response but it didn't work. So I will try this again. There is a site that sells stethoscopes for the hearing impaired professional. It is audiologyonline. I will again...

Only 10 patients? I have never heard of this, very nice.

That is really so nice of you to be thinking about and planning this. As a DON some things that I have done are as you have said, food for each shift and the spa ideas are always appreciated! ...

Luna, My grandson was born with a unilateral MA so I joined a few online sites for support. Not too long ago, a nursing student came on the site and inquired about stethoscopes for the hearing...

Kat, Urinologist? I actually giggled out loud!

For me, this is the safest way. There are just too many interuptions during the med pass. Additionally, if you are assigned to an unfamiliar unit with an unfamiliar medcart with meds not stored...

Or a person that works in medical records?

Ah, getting through nursing school was one of the hardest things that I have ever done. I had a child before I started, she was one that gave me the drive to continue. I worked 3 part time jobs in...

Cheryl, amazingly compassionate insight.

I'm surprised. I keep getting recruiters trying to get me to work for a few of these companies.

What is a geriatric case manager? Have you contacted any of the places that turned you down for employment to ask them what else they are looking for? What types of places were you applying at? ...

Well, I wouldn't focus on this at this point. Try to look at each new thing as a skill that you will learn, knowing that you won't be asked to do anything without guideance and passing some...

Ok, here are my experiences as a nurse; Tele, LTC, UR, Medicare Coordinator, Wellsprings Coordinator, Treatment Nurse, Skilled Nursing, ADON and DON of various skilled nursing facilites and...

I was just wondering if you had taken any of these course. And if so, are they geared more towards a seasoned case manager or to someone that is newer?

Lol, well I used to have that spirit but lost it for a few years...though I think it is coming back! It was hard getting my mind to really really accept that something that I worked so hard to be...

That is an interesting point kids...one that I hadn't thought of ... "Placing nursing education out of reach of the 'masses' and limits the supply, thereby creating some job security for already...

Kathy, Very poignant article. It is funny, as I read this with tears streaming down my face remembering my moms last days, I am also remembering every nurse that stood by us. The doctors...

Ok, the long story short is that I had cancer in my eye many years ago with a correctable resection. It lasted me many years so I am fortunate in that. At this point however, my eye has begun to...

Ok, yes that is what I meant...thanks for putting it so succinctly for me :)

isn't it funny, they are requiring a bsn with barely any pay difference (just the 'joy' of having more responsibility placed on your shoulders whether you want that or not) while they get more money...

Well, statistically speaking, there will be a nursing shortage with all the boomers nearing retirement age. What you and others that are not in the healthcare field are hearing, is partly due to...

Well anon, when you put it into that perspective, I guess I could see your point. I do love babies and children. I guess it just gets to me when you see the ones are so tired of 'it all'... being...

This is exactly why I could never work in peds. It was bad enough on my clinical rotations to have to swab the nose and throat of a boy of about 4 and have him cry and beg his mom to save him...from...

The more of your responses that I read convinces me that you are a troll and possibly not even a nurse, but just here to stir things up. Sadly, it seems as though you have achieved this goal with so...

Ok, first I'd like to say don't quit. It takes a good 6 months to get even a bit comfortable at being a nurse and remember, we are always always learning new things as nurses. As other posters have...
