    Can they make you work full time and not pay you benefits?

    Music in My Heart replied to jxRN's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to the new economy. This is happening to more and more people in all walks of

    How do you wash your scrubs?

    Music in My Heart replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    Supposedly, at least two nurses at work have wiped themselves down with the sani-wipe things that we use for hard surfaces. I'm thinking that they're probably at higher risk for cancer or neurological...

    How do you wash your scrubs?

    Music in My Heart replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    Here's a perfect topic for a rigorous study (rather than so much of the fluff that the PhDs put out). Evidence-based practice, anyone? Since there is no data, I take the conservative approach. I know...

    Music in My Heart replied to Nicole2010's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't really understand how THEY are YOUR problem. From the accumulated wisdom of my 45 years I'd suggest that you might find a happier path through life if you don't let other people's good fortune...

    Nursing School Dismissal

    Music in My Heart replied to hwoo88's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is the direction I would head... give you an opportunity to prove yourself and to acquire additional knowledge. Another academic field to consider would be public

    Medication during dressing changes

    Music in My Heart replied to DolceVita's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, I guess it depends what's happening. I'd have to consider how long it was going to take me to finish the dressing change - since I'm half-way through I'm likely to just finish... unless I'm...

    So what is the deal with nursing.....

    Music in My Heart replied to spacemom1's topic in General Nursing

    Better now, while you're still employed and your engineering career is still intact, than after you've gone through a few years and many thousands of dollars to get your RN license.It's best to have...

    Can they make you work full time and not pay you benefits?

    Music in My Heart replied to jxRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been searching to validate this and glean some details and haven't found anything yet. Can you back this up with something independently

    Goofy. "This is the way we're doing it because that's how the computer is set up." Well, change the set up... it's not that hard. If the doc means q12, they'll write q12. 2100 Lasix... yikes. I'm...

    Is CNA the right Move???

    Music in My Heart replied to judy1218's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you need a job and the CNA is the only thing that you can find then go for it. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. The experience you get as a CNA isn't anything that you won't pick up during nursing...

    I start nursing school tomorrow and I'm having second thoughts...help!

    Music in My Heart replied to Rachelmm007's topic in General Students

    Upon what do you base that?OP, I would agree that you should pursue nursing since that seems to be what you really want to do but you should also be realistic and be prepared to be unemployed after...

    Music in My Heart replied to spacemom1's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I have been thinking and saying, as well. I continue to hear people saying, "well, when the economy gets better..." What I think a lot of people haven't yet come to terms with is that the...

    I was an engineer who's become a nurse... they're very different work environments. While I'm not displeased with the decision to change careers, I never would've done so had I been able to stay...

    Music in My Heart replied to spacemom1's topic in General Nursing

    You're right... many firefighters and most airline pilots only work 8-10 shifts per month.Many nurses are working straight-8 shifts and, if only 12/month, then not earning full-time

    Ditto... I love my 12's after many, many years in another field where I was an 8-to-6 x5 days kinda guy. Now I work 3 12's in a row and then I'm done. Time off is nice, less commuting, and the workday...

    What is the job market like for Nursing right now?

    Music in My Heart replied to wally12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's not a fact.By 2012 the average age is projected to be 44 and nurses in their 50's represent less than 25% of the workforce (AACN - Media - Nursing Shortage Fact Sheet). I believe that many of...

    What is the job market like for Nursing right now?

    Music in My Heart replied to wally12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My prediction is that we are seeing just the beginning of what is going to be a huge surplus in nurses that will last 10 years or so. Even as new grads struggle to find work, the number of seats in...

    Failed out of BSN program, will another BSN program take me?

    Music in My Heart replied to JayPow's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    They may, in fact, get fewer applications. That, however, doesn't mean that they are less competitive. At a local university, they admitted about 1 out of 5 applicants which, numerically, is a higher...

    Music in My Heart replied to JayPow's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I disagree that 2nd BSN programs are less competitive... quite the contrary, in fact. Regardless, RNTutor is right on the money regarding the (totally justified) skepticism that you'll likely face....

    How do I go back into nursing when I haven't been practicing for awhile??

    Music in My Heart replied to renee1126's topic in General Nursing

    To me, this summarizes the issue. It's not that you'll be getting "back into it" but that you never were "in it" - meaning that you haven't (and won't have) worked as a nurse... at all.I'd be very...

    Do nurses get unemployment benefits?

    Music in My Heart replied to shuubie's topic in General Nursing

    Generally, here in Cali, laid off = unemployment... resigned or fired (i.e. terminated for cause) = no
