   Jeff Keeth replied to FutureNP814's topic in General Students

2. I'm struggling during clinical and simulation

   Jeff Keeth replied to xo_tt's topic in General Students

   Awkward/Introverted/Shy/Social Anxiety. You need to concentrate on those things. None of those bid well for an RN, particularly in a hospital setting. You'll get eaten alive by management, fellow...

   Jeff Keeth replied to Lvn_XR's topic in General Students

   Already an LVN w/ hx of A's? You have to try a different way of studying/retaining the information. RN programs are a different breed. It's no joke and you have to find a different way to approach...

4. My mental health is plummeting from my job

   Jeff Keeth replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

   You've had 3 nursing jobs in 3 years, albeit once was because of husband's transfer. Maybe you should leave nursing for a time & do something that interests you & you'd enjoy. You can always...

5. BON Reprimand For Being Late To Work 3x

   Jeff Keeth replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

   I'm totally confused by your issue. If the problem is being late for 3 days in a row, then you need to put yourself in the position of the nurses getting off after 12 hours of work. That's very...

   No matter the TYPE of interview there are tons of info online as to how to interview for a nursing job. Know as much as you can about the company that you're interviewing for. Write & memorize key...

8. Outpatient Nursing for New Grads??

   Jeff Keeth replied to EMAYA's topic in General Students

   I would suggest you do bedside nursing for 1 year & then go from there. I went straight into ICU nursing & hated it. Specifically, so much death & dying. I learned to love it. What I...

9. Applied For 100 Positions But No Job

   Jeff Keeth replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

   I so agree with Nurse Beth. If you've had 100 position considerations then you definitely have to look at your interviewing skills, mannerisms, the way you speak, answer questions, etc. Ask your...

10. Being Exposed to All Types of Patients During Clinicals Leaves a Bad Taste in My Mouth

    Jeff Keeth replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Cannot for the life of me understand why you would think you could go through Nursing School & not work in ALL Nursing areas; or somehow get exempt. I'm baffled.Am I hearing you

11. Is nursing right for me?

    Jeff Keeth replied to Milky7126's topic in Medical-Surgical

12. Lead Clinical Nurse is Dealing with a Negative Nelly, HELP!

    Jeff Keeth replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    My suggestion. As a lead nurse, if possible, I think it'd be better not to take any patients yourself. Lead the floor in general, perhaps (depending on what's involved), take care of most if not all...

13. Is 54 too old to get my RN

    Jeff Keeth replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Do you REALLY want to be an RN and if it's yes then WHY? Answer yourself those questions. You are definitely NOT too old. There are programs out there that as an LPN, it only takes a year. Besides,...

14. Am I washed up at 56?

    Jeff Keeth replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    It's a shame that it's rare to find a hospital nursing job that only has 12 hour shifts. I realize 4 days a week off is enticing however day 1 of off days is recovering & day 4 is preparing for 36...

15. Constantly Making Mistakes

    Jeff Keeth replied to Blueb's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to say it (or not). 4 times is too many. One of these days it's going to produce a terrible outcome. Don't quit. Get in a zone during medication administration. Unless its life or death, don't...
