1. how can a nursing home nurse get into a hospital job?

   BloodyMedic replied to RN2783's topic in General Nursing

   I recently graduated from a Medic-RN transition program and our instructors (2 Masters, 1 PhD) told us that working in a nursing home, at least in this area, in career suicide. They basically said that nurses around here work in nursing homes becaus...

2. Nurses not making enough...wait what?

   BloodyMedic replied to Reese2012's topic in General Nursing

   Don't torture yourself with that logic. It can be applied everywhere in life. Should a guy who can dribble a basketball be making 20 mil a year while the surgeon who cuts you open and saves your life makes a very small fraction of that?

   True, I was merely stating that perhaps people should realize that it could be worse.......a lot worse

7. Any phobias you overcame to become a nurse?

   BloodyMedic replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing

   I have a phobia of ******, catty, gossipy women. The constant exposure has helped me learn to tune them out. When they start complaining about something at work it's like a switch gets flipped and as their mouths move all I hear is that song "Raindr...

   i have tattoos on my neck. so what? to me its far more offensive and, frankly, downright disgusting to have some fat slob walking around in their crocs huffing and puffing through their next bag of cheetos while they're on shift. funny post though

9. Nurses not making enough...wait what?

   BloodyMedic replied to Reese2012's topic in General Nursing

   Go talk to a paramedic about their salaries and tell me a nurse is underpaid. No offense, I'm an RN as well, but RN's have it pretty good. I know some that work really hard and some that sit on their butts and do next to nothing all day for gobs of ...

10. Deciding on my first Nursing Job

    BloodyMedic replied to NurseNancy88's topic in General Nursing

    You know, they both sound very promising. I think if you're willing to roll the dice on yourself and do a really good job, Hospital 2 would probably find a way to get you on full time pretty quick.

    Hey guys, I'm a recently licensed RN and I just got a job at a pretty large regional center in the ICU. Interview went well, everyone seemed really nice, but I'm still nervous as all get out to do a good job. I've been a Paramedic for 6 years and d...

    again, I agree. But what am I supposed to do? I mean, one question isn't going to pass or fail anybody but what if there are more like that? Shoot man, i can show you in the book where it says it. Its in the ATI Maternal-Newborn book page 290- Cr...

    BloodyMedic replied to BloodyMedic's topic in Male Students

    and i understand the logic behind that. But unfortunately ATI disagrees and that's the test I'm taking. I answered that she should have a full bladder and I was wrong. ATI says it should be empty to prevent puncturing it. Again, that's not my answ...
