    Hoosier_RN replied to steven007's topic in Nursing News

    He wasn't voicing an opinion, he accidentally posted sexually explicit materials meant for an adult website to a website for a nursing class that he was teaching. There's a big difference. I don't...

    Why did you choose that nursing program (current or past)?

    Hoosier_RN replied to NurseBlaq's topic in General Nursing

    Good reputation in state for ASN from a CC. Had 10 jobs begging for me and my classmates to come (back in the good old days). And the BSN students at nearby colleges were training to be management. As...

    Hoosier_RN replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't offended. I doubt any other manager was either. I just wanted that poster to know, since they may not have realized. Not everyone gets offended by every little thing. And just because someone...

    Can you return to dialysis after 11 years away?

    Hoosier_RN replied to DeLana_RN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Go for it! I haven't been in your shoes, but I think you'll be fine, especially since you will get a decent orientation. The Big 2 in my area both offer 6 months orientation for

    Should I try HD?

    Hoosier_RN replied to clarkheart's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    It depends on the clinic. I started out in a small clinic and moved to a slightly larger sister facility across town. Never have trouble getting off. Long hours are split up into shifts in my...

    New grad no preceptor.

    Hoosier_RN replied to NewGrad613's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! RUN and don't look back!! As a patient I would be furious to find this out, and nothing against the nurse, but the facility. Dangerous

    Hoosier_RN replied to C00KIE's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Also, do not go to home health/home care. Any company that would hire a new grad is very questionable. you need to be able to make independent decisions without any support. The company that hires an...

    Hoosier_RN replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Did you ask why and how to improve? It maybe could have provided direct insight to what you can control, and help you realize what you can't. Even if they had said not a good fit, they could give...

    Rejected from OR nurse residency

    Hoosier_RN replied to Reaz's topic in Operating Room

    You've said that this facility is great to work for. If their HR is like this, I'd bet not, because HR is generally an indicator of the total package.

    When Your Nursing School is Shut Down

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I agree, for the most part, but a lot of these schools and their sleazy practices were up and running, for years, before the current administration took office, so it doesn't just boil down to 1...

    Does the Doctor-Nurse Game Still Exist?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing
