  1. Are there nursing jobs or not?

    holisticallyminded replied to Lala27poodles's topic in General Nursing

    Might seem so, but I'm an "older" student and I can't find work. I've been working in healthcare for 10 years, took a giant paycut to get a nurse tech job in the hospital I had been employed with for...

  2. Are there nursing jobs or not?

    holisticallyminded replied to Lala27poodles's topic in General Nursing

    There were plenty of nursing jobs in my area (Seattle) last year for new grads. Now they just aren't there. I'm not sure when they will be, but many of us who worked as techs weren't hired on as RNs...

  3. Anyone starting non-hospital jobs in this bad job enviroment?

    holisticallyminded replied to luvmyguys's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I keep seeing homecare jobs in my area. I would think you could find them in any area and I'm not sure that new grads remember this as a possibility. I've got an interview coming up. Hospitals are...

  4. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    holisticallyminded replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    So I'm seeing a few posts here from offended, bottle-feeding mommies. And yes, this IS what this is about. Teacher's got an ax to grind. And to be honest, I'm not really sure why anybody's offended....

  5. Need your help - trying to change school policy

    holisticallyminded replied to CrystalShip's topic in General Students

    I know you mean well with this post but I'm at Highline (WA State also- need 80% to pass) and to correct your intentions- if you read local news, Seattle area hospitals are not hiring new grads....

  6. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    holisticallyminded replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had my baby at home (now 16 months) and would highly recommend it. I had my first in a hospital long ago..... boy was that a horrible experience! I am so sorry that anyone is against the birth...

  7. You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    holisticallyminded replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but again, this is silly. Patients are human and they do care that you look as though you take care of yourself and know what you're doing. I've seen a few comments that really sound as...

  8. You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    holisticallyminded replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    It's always interesting to me how defensive nurses get over appearance. Sounds like the original poster wants to feel a little more like an individual at work. I think that makes sense, especially for...

  9. nurse tech skills/job duties?

    holisticallyminded posted a topic in General Students

    I've began speaking with a nursing recruiter about a tech position in an OR. I know that techs are able to perform any skills that they have been signed off for, however I have not actually performed...

  10. Does a BSN earn you more in Northern CA

    holisticallyminded replied to vivicaq's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not aware that you earn more with a BSN anywhere, really. You just have more job options. It seems that this changes back and forth depending on the fluctuations of new grads available vs the...

  11. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    holisticallyminded replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hmmm............ So I haven't seen any useful information here; just a bunch of old-school minds defending their nationalistic ideas. I'm in my mid-thirties and my father says not to worry: "Those who...

  12. What is a nurse tech?

    holisticallyminded replied to candiceena's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse tech is a student nurse; one who is concurrently schooling to become an RN. You need to have completed a clinical rotation or two (depending on state). You can keep this position until you...

  13. nurse tech skills/job duties?

    holisticallyminded replied to holisticallyminded's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I'm absolutely fine with asking for help; I just wanted an idea of what the general expectations are. I appreciate the

  14. Entitled Generation

    holisticallyminded replied to javajaydon's topic in General Nursing

    So I'll be 35 this year (guess that makes me a gen X'er) and looking down the barrel of my second career (1st career also as a care provider). Perhaps this is my generation talking, but we're speaking...

  15. clinic jobs?

    holisticallyminded posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a nursing student who has worked in another health care disipline for a number of years. I am currently working at a major peds hospital. I like working with kids and would like to continue to do...

  16. Need info about holistic nursing careers

    holisticallyminded replied to MnMnurse's topic in Holistic

    You're totally correct. You can become a certified "holistic nurse" and it would be wise to do so. The specialties that I spoke of previously are areas of focus. I'm assuming that a holistic nurse...

  17. People in Seattle, please help--is it difficult to get a job as a CNA in Seattle?

    holisticallyminded replied to cardinalgal2001's topic in Nursing Career

    Hmmmm.......... Are you willing to work in long-term care? I see more nurse techs hired than CNAs in the hospital I work in. I have a friend who has been trying to get a CNA job for over a year. I'm...

  18. Moving from Hospitality Management to Nursing school, Is this possible?

    holisticallyminded replied to Polska's topic in Nursing Career

    Well we have something in common! I have a dietetics background, I am 32, applying for nursing school for fall, and would really like to get this done ASAP so that I can get pregnant. My clock is...

  19. ADN vs. BSN vs. MSN

    holisticallyminded replied to MomToLL's topic in Nursing Career

    Please tell me why it would make a difference to have a BSN instead of an ADN if you have a BS in a related field. Say.......... dietetics/nutrition? (More science, management, clinical, community,...

  20. Need info about holistic nursing careers

    holisticallyminded replied to MnMnurse's topic in Holistic

    This is also one of my areas of interest. I have a BS in nutrition and have found that there actually aren't as many opportunities there for alternatives to the mainstream unless you have other...

  21. You're going to Community College?

    holisticallyminded replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Let's be honest here: where you went to school really doesn't matter when the paycheck comes in. I did my BS in nutrition at a Cal State school, and though my current field is a little bit different...
