  1. Is Corrections a good job for a new RN Grad???

    Corrections is not a good place for a new RN grad. Too many places to get caught up and or fooled by inmates. You need top notch assessment skills along with real life experience. Corrections is not designed for new nurses. I sincerely suggest gettin...

  3. Beat up by a resident, what to do??

    You have thright to defend yourself. If that means hitting the pt. so be it. I have had to use physical force to actually help a couple of inmates. No patient or inmate has the right to touch any staff person. Time to get skip training which is suppo...
  4. military wives have trouble getting RN jobs?

    SmilingBlueEyes has it right. My ex wife who is a nurse never had a problem. She just stuck to the facts about herself.

    No, you have to do something to piss management off. A poor work ethic and attitude will help turn management against you. No you will not just be fired on a whim.

    No. I got days right off.
  13. Caps anyone??

    I wanted it and I still wear it on my consultation jacket and I have one that goes on my sport coat. It also makes a great tie tack. Wear it with pride in your work.
  14. HUGE DECISION-- honest opinions please!!!

    New car or junker and got to school. How can either of you go to school full time and pay for it. I had to work thriugh nursing school. Med school and CRNA at the same time; I doubt it.
