Can you share or give any updates so far? I'm thinking of applying for a PRN position at a hospital occupational health clinic and would love to hear about your job! Hope it's going well

This was not just a medication error. She was reckless, she was arrogant, she completely ignored the ethical standard of do no harm. I defintely believe Vanderbilt should be held accountable for their lack of appropriate policies. And I definitely...

I was fired almost a year after being placed on disciplinary action for too many absences for my FTE. The disciplinary action came after being sick with covid like symptoms, but a negative test. The parameters were any 2 further absences in any 6 mo...

Sounds like you were proactive, and acting responsibly after going through hard situations. I think your transparency and honesty reflect more why your license was not encumbered more than luck. I had a former colleague that was convicted of a misd...

Registered Nursing covers a lot of your interests but the nature of the healthcare environment it can make it hard to do all of those areas well. My suggestion would be to prioritize your interests and rank them from most interested to least interes...

What does bedside/clinical nursing mean to you? I felt similarly in nursing school, and wondered what I had gotten myself into and that I was going to end up a terrible nurse.... but then I had a rotation in a population I fell in love with (peds) an...

I agree with the other nurse who replied.... But you could consider ACLS or PALS certification if you wanted to beef up your learning and/or experience. Those are certifications that RNs in critical care areas have to hold so it might give you a tast...

How did it go? I’ve been interested in the NFP program in my area for a few years but haven’t had many opportunities to apply. It seems like a nursing dream to me too.... Education, care, empowering moms.... autonomy... when you have a chance, share ...

Good Evening All, Could any of you share how you landed your specific positions in schools? I am currently contemplating starting a job search in school nursing and am looking for tips. Did you just use job sites? Scope out the schools and distric...

I'm really sorry to hear that you lost your job and made a mistake that I'm sure you feel horrible about. There are definitely some areas for growth that I can see from this experience, but I'm also thinking you may have dodged a bullet by being let...

I once subbed at a school where the nurse had created a notebook outlining when to expect certain children for scheduled meds (insulin, BG checks, scheduled snacks, tube feedings). In the same school, it would have been helpful to have notes about h...

Thank you everyone, this is really really helpful. I do have some sub school nurse experience through a temp agency, which is how my interest was peaked in the first place. At my favorite location, all I had to do was take care of the kiddos--no pa...

I have 10.5 years pediatric experience ranging from ambulatory, ER, Urgent Care, Child-maltreatment, and neurology (mainly epilepsy). I am interested in trying school nursing but am wondering what the balance is between actual nursing care and docume...

Do you have an update on this issue?

Hi ElimayRN, I was just hired as a new RN Case manager. I live in Kansas City, but the company where I was hired is in Kansas.... Have things gotten better for you? Are you still in Hospice?

Go for it. All you have to be is the amazing young woman that you are with an open heart and desire to follow your calling. I was just hired in a hospice setting and the age range varies. Don't be intimidated by the age differences you've seen. It m...

I am brand new to my hospice position as RN case manager. Prior to accepting this position, I'd worked in pediatrics for the same hospital for 10 years and was accruing the most PTO I'd ever accrued: approximately 24 days a year. As a new RN for this...

I'm glad you posted this question. I just started my new hospice position as an RN case manager. Do any of you experienced hospice nurses have tips on case management? I am brand new to both after having been in the clinic and bedside of pediatric...

I just thought of one other thing... If your hospital has a nurse residency program or follow up program for graduate nurses, try and get connected with them. They could be a support for you when you are struggling with interactions..... Again, good ...

Congratulations on your position in the ER. It is a fantastic way to learn about yourself and humanity! ER nurses are amazing.... So, I agree with the previous poster that there's a difference between curt/concise communication when time and lives a...

Workplace incivility is unacceptable and no one should suffer it. Every employee has the right to work in an environment where they are respected as an individual and not subjected to behavior that goes against the ANA and the nurse practice acts of ...

Does anyone have any thoughts on nursing positions with more autonomy? I've been in the hospital system setting (including clinic) for 10 years and am starting to feel annoyed at having to have someone approve my every little move! My son is getting ...

Funny, for "is there anything I can help you with" depends on the setting. As a resource nurse in the ER, you find yourself asking that... and meaning it. Although many times you don't ask, you just do! In the smaller, clinic setting, it comes off as...

Thank you for such an encouraging and kind reply! Can you tell me more about how you became an authority in your particular field? In my field (pediatric epilepsy) there is high level of skepticism for families wishing to try complementary modalities...

"Let's talk off line about that" "I'll reach out to...." "Please be patient as we level-load" Ugh. A funny thing that happens in my setting is my manager's incorrect use of English language jargon or phrases. English is not her first language so she...
