   Look into school nursing..................you barely ever have to talk to a doctor. You do have a clinical nursing director though.

   I have never heard of monitoring for a pharmaceutical company. What does the job entail? How do you find out about them? I enjoy paperwork....I used to be a Materials and Processes engineer at General Dynamics in a previous life.....

3. Leaving nursing

   nursemjb replied to wandering_rn's topic in General Nursing

   I'm right in the center of Fort Worth. I really don't want to go to another city because I would need up front money which I don't have. I've sent a resume to Care Now twice with no response. I have worked in the OR, med-surg, home health, school, an...

   I disagree with your Einstein comment/quote. Reagan used the military and strategic buildup of weaponry (preparation) to stop the cold war and destroy communism without a shot being fired. In this case the best defense for the United States and the w...

   Glad to know that I'm not the only one that knows the scoop in Texas.....there's not enough of a nursing shortage here for employers not to have their nose in the air and be EXTREMELY picky. Age discrimination is almost impossible to prove. I realize...

   You may have been lucky.....but in my life WHENEVER I do anything wrong I always get caught...some kind of karma thing....I don't know. I also don't like to lie or omit, it just bugs me. Except when someone asks you how they look...you tell them fine...

   But she has to mention her last two jobs because every application now says that if any section is judged to be untrue or incomplete they can fire you on the spot. So either way you are hosed. I'm going through this right now, too. Plus age discrimin...

   I wish they would have worked with me, but they wouldn't. Thanks for the kind words. I guess the hospitals and agencies here in Texas don't feel like they have to work with you. Since I'm not a specialty nurse it's much more competitive.

   Group One is like the IRS audit of nursing......I've been blackballed by them once already in 1996.....managed to get another job....but it's definitely not that easy this time. Major pity party here...what I don't like is going on interviews and th...

    How did you get the Tigger under your screen name?

13. Your Worst Mistake

    nursemjb replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    And this is such a big deal because.... Did it hurt the patient in any way???? I can think of a lot worse things than this.

14. Your Worst Mistake

    nursemjb replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    Dixiecup, I know what you mean. I haven't been the benefactor of understanding supervisors either. Just a series of bad breaks. I just wish I didn't like nursing so much.

    I agree with ktwlpn, you did what you could. There are so many sad/tragic situations exacerbated by alcohol.......I think grief counseling would help you.....
