1. RN laidoff

   DemrixRN2000 replied to DemrixRN2000's topic in Minnesota

   I think many of the community colleges offer the RN refresher course. I know that the agencies want someone with recent hosptial or LTC experience. Fairview has many needs for mental health and I have a friend who manages one of the mental health uni...

2. RN laidoff

   DemrixRN2000 replied to DemrixRN2000's topic in Minnesota

   Yes, I do live in the Twin Cities. And you are right, I have seen many jobs posted just not what I want. I am no longer at the bedside doing direct care and currently am not looking to return to the bedside. I do have a master's degree but I don't wa...

3. RN laidoff

   DemrixRN2000 replied to DemrixRN2000's topic in Minnesota

   It is very scary. I have been looking but I think the difficulty will be finding a position that isn't direct care which I haven't done in quite a while.

4. RN laidoff

   DemrixRN2000 replied to DemrixRN2000's topic in Minnesota

   Right now I have been offered severance but I am concerned about what will happen once severance has run out. I have never been without a job so now I am very skeptical about where to turn. I will look into your suggestions and try to determine where...

5. RN laidoff

   DemrixRN2000 posted a topic in Minnesota

   I just took a position as a nurse manager in a facility that had not had a nurse manager for about a year. Needless to say there were alot of problems. I have an employee that has been "reshuffled" instead of removed from his position because he's se...

   I was notified a nurse last week that they were completing charting from the previous month. We are a JACHO certified faciltiy and I think this is fraudulent behavior. I really don't know what the next step shoud be but I am sure that there shoud be ...

9. Former addict a nurse?

   DemrixRN2000 replied to JoeyDog's topic in General Nursing

   Seems to me, when I was in nursing school I was so preoccupied with my studies I had little time to worry about who did what. I did have a classmate who had a felony for stabbing someone but the Board overlooked it and she's an excellent nurse. Somet...

    Here in Minnesota an LPN isn't allowed to supervise RNs. She may monitor staff but she can't be a supervisor. This is something that I found strange because I was an LPN for over 7 years and never thought I was doing anything wrong until I went to sc...
