as long as nursing schools keep pumping new grads into a overly diluted vocation day and night, everyone will be in the bent over position during the interview process. supply and demand.

good core strength and flexability is the key.

yes,yes you are right rn1980 bring the union train to mississippi..let it's first stop be here in jackson....

i think alot of the issues would be taken care of if the op's would do a little research of their own before asking elementry like questions. whenever someone gets on here stating that they have always wanted to be a crna but yet ask a silly questio...

yes why would your co-worker not inform you that you were doing something wrong right then and instead let it continue? I believe the board would like to know that reason as well...If it came down to it i'd try my best to drag them down too.

understood earlier in my life that you cant always be everything for everyone and to understand that when people say they are disappointed in you that they might just be disappointed in themselves in reality.

would be best if you got a tat that said "will work for food" on your chest, the way the job outlook is at present we all might need to get one.

thanks scot, much thanks.

and what compounds the issue more is all thers people jumping hoops to get inot programs seem to have no idea how tight the market is now. "well yahoo said there is a big shortage" thats all i hear...i tell'em you need to screw yahoo and start talki...

but lets keep in mind there is a big difference in the skill and educational level of a emt-p vs emt-b. i agree with rn1980, we have a few rns that have kept up there emt/paramedic credentials and still ride often. many times their extra training ...

regarding hanging blood, we will hang blood infussion via iv pumps. we are aware of literature showing cell damage but our staff hemotologist claimed he was in a study in residency that showed the damage is done when the rate of infusion is cranked ...

what mistake exactly was printed on the broselow tape?

i dont beleive ther is a national nursing shortage, at least within the last 3 yrs. ther are adequate numbers to feel vancantcies. as far as mississippi, no there is no shortage esp. since there is around 800 new grads every yr comming to the field,...

as long as you think you can do the job then give it a try and not worry about it. i work with diabetic nurses in the er and yes there has been times when they arent at their best, but i for one appreciate their effort even when they are draggin. try...

Well ERMindy when your hospital starts feeling the sting from a massive drop in reinbursements (some 500billion nationwide) you and others on this board will see the change as in reduced hrs, bennifits, pay and incresed time at the house.

hey paindoc is gonna start feeling it when 21% medicare kicks in. The mda's in a group will feel it to, cause a fair amount of their buisness (elderly) are going to be on this plan & a good number of their patients will switch to obama care. The...

This is how it will playout. Almost everyone who feels thier private insurance is to exspensive will drop it and latch on the govt plan (which basically i'm cool with, heck it will save you a few bucks) Now like i posted before even many employers w...

Well sign your check over to me and we will all listen to how loud you whine. I smell a troll.

There is going to be a pay cut. 20% or 50% who really knows but one will happen. They are already reducing medicare reimbursements to what 21%. With the new proposed plan they are going to additionally reduce govt reimbursements by some 500 billio...

I understand the way you are thinking in regards to more patients should equal more healthcare workers. In a ideal situation that would probably be correct. But with the passing of this bill the govt is going to cut some 500billion in financial rei...

Is there any response from students or future students on this post?

well nursing is like anyohter place for the most part, some bad and some good. there are no nursing unions here which sux big time, which means you are pretty much at the mercy of the hospital. there seems to be a large non hiring freeze going on i...

send a email to the program director or dean of students.

And I consider that the fallacy in our system. The rapist and child molester gets decent health care and meals free access to education while they watch tv. But the family down the road who works their fingers to the numb to make ends meet have les...

Our Nurse Case Manager told us that the VA always wants their VA patients to be transfered to the VA super fast cause civilian hospitals charge more vs. what the VA charge. Its the same when I'm on active duty in the guard, they beat it into our bra...
