  1. interview from hell

    Selke replied to grv68's topic in General Nursing

    I personally believe HR people are responsible for much of the nursing shortage. Always takes me weeks and weeks to get through HR. So I went the travel route: I had recruiters calling me left and...

  2. California gold rush

    Selke replied to bawlermore's topic in General Nursing

    Haunted, Maybe you could rent out your condo to traveling RNs working in the Irvine area? You might could hire an apt rental agency that handles this kind of

  3. US nurse want to travel international

    Selke replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in General Nursing

    If you have trauma/ICU/PACU experience there are medical mission, surgical missions, of for example teams that do plastic and reconstructive surgery in other countries. They go for a few weeks then...

  5. How to be frank with a hypochondriac?

    Selke replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Jolie, you have a very wise family medicine doc. In fact, very nurse-like. Motorcycle Mama, I'm worried about you. From your other posts you have a lot going on yourself, and now these worries...

  6. I'm Very Discouraged....

    Selke replied to JadziaSolo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Don't knock taking another orientation or refresher course in L&D nursing. Five years is a long time; sure you remember a lot of it, but you lose the day-to-day ability to handle the environment...

  7. anxiety and nursing

    Selke replied to green51207's topic in Nursing Career

    Here is one way to start getting a handle on this situation. I suggest you analyze your work experience and look at the different aspects of the job of nursing and try to determine what parts of it,...

  8. Can a white student get a minority scholarship?

    Selke replied to HogNurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Seconding Trauma's advice about finding a bridge program .... if there are no schools in your area that does a bridge program between ADN - MSN, Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing does a...

  10. BWAHAHA! Check out my new t-shirt...

    Selke replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah ... vents! I usually am not around vents so that didn't spring to my mind. AliRae, off topic, but your tag line says you're off to Sierra Leone ... are you volunteering overseas? Please...

  11. BWAHAHA! Check out my new t-shirt...

    Selke replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    I must be slow tonight, but I don't get it. I get the Peeps part (check out http://www.peepresearch.org/ (Ha, a Frontier student did a Peeps goes to Frontier, does clinical, rides the horse,...

  13. Masters Degree while traveling

    Selke replied to RNontheroad's topic in Travel

    I'm traveling while finishing my MSN in midwifery through Frontier. Frontier's program is distance. There are several distance MSN programs; many schools seems to have a distance component; search...

  14. BWAHAHA! Check out my new t-shirt...

    Selke replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    You are sooo bad for posting this. As much as I can't wait to stop being a nurse, I will have to get one of these shirts. It is almost ironic. But the public actually DOES trust nurses, so while it...

  15. help

    Selke replied to RNAMY's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe you could just not list those classes, if you are applying to a different program. Retake them at another school and don't mention that you took them and did

  16. Annoying Doctor Award

    Selke replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You have my empathy. When I have to work with a@@&)*es I feel they can't pay me enough to be there and put up with their cr#)% without saying what I really want to say. You guys should find ways...

  17. accelerated bsn vs direct entry msn

    Selke replied to treess's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not a DE student, but this is what I've heard and read. If you can get into an accelerated BSN program without a long waitlist, that might be the best way to go initially. You'll actually have...

  18. Discouraged over the "last 60/90 degree units" policies

    Selke replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just glanced at your post and I had a thought. Have you considered applying for and getting an MPH (master's in public health)? You're in California? Univ of Berkeley has one of the top MPH...

  19. U of MD CNM Program

    Selke replied to imenid37's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I don't know anything about this program, but have you tried calling them and asking? It would be sad for yet another CNM program to close. There's also distance programs like Frontier and one in...

  20. Full time NP position requires you to cover RN duties at times?

    Selke replied to DucatiNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Some of these are good suggestions. I would still contact my local or state APRN group and try to find out how others handle this and your legal rights to refuse RN work. I'd think it would set a...

  21. Getting Midwifery Experience

    Selke replied to Lafont16's topic in General Nursing

    Don't presume that you won't be able to get an L&D position out of school. That's too far in the future and you cannot predict that. Provided they have a training program, most managers prefer...

  22. Epidemic of dumb!

    Selke replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There's a couple more in the same vein that's come out recently; couldn't find the names but I think Marsden Wagner has a new one, and then there's "Birth in America" (maybe this is the Wagner one?...

  23. Really felt outnumbered today

    Selke replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    OK ... so which wounds are more gross, the stuff you treated in the ER, or the stuff you're doing the wound care for in home care? Enquiring minds want to know

  24. Epidemic of dumb!

    Selke replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The moms in "Pushed" are from a different place than the ones demanding inductions, c-sections, &c ... I know you know that, though. I wish there were more moms like this out there! I agree...

  25. Full time NP position requires you to cover RN duties at times?

    Selke replied to DucatiNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why is this administrator giving you evaluations? You aren't a nurse there. Shouldn't the MDs, if anyone, be evaluating your work? Does she evaluate the MDs? What does your contract state? Are RN...
