Thank you for answering and sharing about your MIL. I appreciate it.

I am a PRN nurse that got dx with cancer this year. I told my manager and she told me not to worry about working and to handle my health, which is what I have been doing. So, I get a text that she cannot keep my position due to commitment issue and I...

I am curious to know if you do something else on the side to earn extra income in addition to being a nurse. I know some nurses work somewhere else PRN and a few nurses I know who do photography and such on the side. What is your side hustle?

How many hrs a week do you teach?

This is my first nursing job and I am not sure if this is the norm. I asked for time off a month in a half in advance. Though I am PRN, they put me on a set schedule. And schedule only 2 weeks out at a time and usually put the schedule out the final ...

If parenting paid the bills lol Sounds like you have some great friends who have a great side hustle. Definitely a blessing.

Both cool gigs. You never know it could be in the future.

Advice needed. I graduated from my LPN to RN program and have been looking for jobs. I was asked to tour a unit with the charge nurse at the career fair and then told by the OB manager to email her about shadowing. They don't do it for everyone, and ...

My resume has been reviewed and re-reviewed. The few people I know getting jobs are staying with their hospital/facility as they hire within which is easier or getting job offers from their clinical unit in their graduating semester.

So, I shouldn’t interview anymore and go with what is offered?

Congratulations!

I normally work night shift and state has not come during my shift. I was talking to the evening shift nurse who has been there for many years and I asked her how did she know the guidelines or whatnot and she said they learned them in school. I neve...

Yes to compression socks. My sister who is a MD introduced them to me before I was a nurse. Thankful for the knowledge she shared the knowledge.

Here's what I did: When I applied for my nursing program, I applied to both the LPN and the RN program. I got into the LPN. It was a year long program (3 semesters) and then I applied to the transition program shortly after (one semester later becaus...

I will be graduating in May with my RN (ADN) and plan to start by BSN soon after (this would be my second baccalaureate) and I have been looking for a job in LDRP and NICU. So far, I have come across jobs needing experienced RNs. The places that do h...

Thanks for the insight klone. I will be enrolled in a BSN shortly after I graduate so that is the contingency of FNP. There have been a few recruiting job fairs encouraging soon to be graduates and a few of my classmates do have jobs lined up already...

Look at the prerequisites you need to take and like another post said try to do them before admittance to Ivy Tech. GPA is not a factor just the classes they require before you apply. I have a BS in Biology and I re-took my A&P class to get a bet...

I was working LTC until I decided to go back to school. I am now working on the assisted living side of the same company. I was working on their assisted living dementia unit but now they are orienting me for the other unit where residents have cats ...

Thanks for help. I'm taking an OTC and it's kind of helping. I'll give it a few weeks or start wearing a mask.

Hahahahaha!

I haven't yet. I was just taking to a friend about it and he just found out what he is allergic to and got an epi-pen. So, I am hoping not to have to do the same.

I am new nurse but worked LTC since I have been working. I never thought this would be an issue. Everyone I know has dogs so I never thought about til working on assisted living facility.
