I've been a nurse for 4 years and have not worked in the hospital setting but am trying to get back in so I've been applying for positions like internships and positions at certain hospitals that are listed as having no experience required. Then I'm ...

When I was in nursing school there were tons of interships and positions available here. Now, as verified by many people in the work place that I've talked to, there is only a small percentage of that available now and they go to people with the most...

In the past I applied to office positions despite the fact that I wanted to work in the hospital. I thought it would help me gain experience to earn a hospital job but after seeing so many applications and talking to other nurses my understanding was...

I'm confused about the response to my 'attitude' and 'sense of entitlement'. FWIW I HAVE applied to positions in offices and other areas. I'm not comfortable working in home health because I have no experience and would be out there on my own with no...

Because I will be working full time and have less hours to devote to school.

I've been doing work in immunizations clinics hoping that would help. So far I've been told repeatedly that by 'experience' they mean 'hospital based experience'. It didn't seem like there was a point to work in a dr. office (where I wouldn't make en...

Yes. Only applying for hospital positions. I have no desire to work in an office, clinic, home health or nursing homes. If that is the only kind of work I can get as a nurse I'll drop working on my BSN and pursue a different bachelor's and switch fie...

In my area I've been told repeatedly that they are for new grads and for nursing looking to transition back into the hospital or from one unit to another. I'm taking a refresher course currently and my instructor said I should apply for internships. ...

I've worked doing flu shot clinics. No one will hire me in non-intern positions because I don't have any hospital based experience. And now they might be rejecting me because I have some out of hospital experience? I don't know what I'll do if I can'...

Can an employer force you to be vaccinated or updated in order to remain employed? Even in states where there are medical, philosophical, and medical exemption options?

Thanks! I am concerned about more than just flu vaccines. I was wondering if anyone had had any trouble claiming exemptions for boosters and other vaccinations.

You might want to pop over to the student forum. You'll find lots of info there! I think your lifestyle and the school you attend can influence your experience. It was amazingly time consuming but once I got used to that it didn't feel so time consum...

I'm a GN and interviewing for jobs in L&D and postpartum. I was wondering if medical terminations and abortions are handled in L&D or on a different unit. How would I go about asking about the hospitals policies during job interviews without ...

Are we required under our licensure to be up to date on vaccinations? Do most employers require this? Can you file exemptions?

So are we required under our license? Or just some companies require it? I know there are tons of docs who don't keep up to date so I'm curious here. What if you are medically or religiously exempt? Don't they have to respect that?

The bridge program ADN- MSN is 12 months. You then enroll to become a CNM which is 24 months, I believe. I've looked into this too. I've heard Frontier is one of the more pricey schools though. Most ADN-BSN programs are 12 months after which you coul...

Amazing! Ouch! I hope they do well!:heartbeat

I'm a new grad and aim to secure a postion in L&D but also plan to apply for postpartum units as well. I was wondering if the postpartum nurses assist with circumcisions and if so, to what degree? Is a nurse allowed to decline assisting? Obviousl...

Well, as long as we're on the subject, I would be uncomfortable being involved in an abortion or medical termination of a pregnancy. I wouldn't be opposed to taking care of someone in postpartum but would not want to have anything to do with the proc...

Well said. ITA.

Wow. I start school in two days and I just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant with my second child. I was so afraid something like this would happen:o Has anyone else gone through this/going through this? How bad is it? Is it doable? Any tips? I'm tota...
