    ilmbg replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Wow- where were you? I was at Navajo, Crow and Northern Cheyenne. The care is great. At Shonto, it was an emergency room and clinic. If there was cardica, or something we did not have the...

  5. Do you hate your job as a Registered Nurse? Why?

    ilmbg replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

  6. extensive orientation

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    That is what I am trying to figure out. An extensive orientation would make more sense to me. I wonder if you 'watch', without assisting, then when you have 'passed' that part, get a temp license to...

    ilmbg posted a topic in General Nursing

    ilmbg replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse(s) that were mad at you should be ashamed of themselves- you did what that nurse should have done! Thank you. (we don't need nurses like that working- I am willing to bet they are lazy in...

  12. Now I understand why there is a nursing shortage

    ilmbg replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    I have not worked in a few years, but it seems to be the same ol'.. you bring back thememories of frustration that most nurses feel- sometimes nursing is like a glorified waitress. Paula- I hear so...

    ilmbg replied to letina's topic in General Nursing

    Yessirree!! I have lived in Sarasota Florida, where you routinely would get called off- I worked L&D at the time- sometimes only got 12 hours a week. I don't know about collecting unemployment...

    ilmbg replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    She should not be billed for the trip. IHS states that the Native American patient be treated first at a IHS facility if possible. If need be that a patient has to be transferred to a larger...

    ilmbg replied to Candy303's topic in General Nursing

    You must take care of yourself- the place where you are working certainly will not, it seems. Do not risk yourself for any facility! I tell you this, as I was thrown against a wall by a 500#...

  19. rn jobs- decline of Michigan?

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in Michigan Nursing

  20. rn jobs- decline of Michigan?

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was just wondering. The 2 year wait to get into nurse school is not new- 30 years ago it was the same. I can't blame a new grad for running away as fast as he/she can if the way things are going...

  21. nursing shortage?

    ilmbg posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am curious- is there really a nurse shortage in the USA, or is this an out of context statement? My thinking is this- If there is really a shortage, why are salaries so bad?. I am aware that...

  22. nursing shortage?

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, in some towns the payis better than the $16 or so, but here, where I live, there are two towns. The hospitals will tell you that 'the beautiful country makes up for the lower wage'. I was one...

    ilmbg posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Chica- I thought there was a question on an application that asked if you ever had filed Work Comp? Maybe not all facilities ask, but as you say, they might be able to check?? If they ask if I have...
