  1. Going back to work after baby need advice

    Satori77 replied to NursePunkinz's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any advice for you, but thought I would bump this up for you. I took a couple years off from another field after having a baby, and it can be quite difficult. I wish you

  2. Age Discrimination in Nursing? How Old is "Too Old?"

    Satori77 replied to lamazeteacher's topic in General Nursing

    My mother experienced this. She is 63 and been a nurse for about 25 years. She left a job over a year and a half ago as a director of an alzheimer's facility. She had worked there for ten years,...

  3. Someone told me something that upset me today.

    Satori77 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    This happened at our work. Someone came to work early, but did not clock in (as we are not allowed to clock in early). She slipped and fell, the floor had just been mopped I think, and broke her...

  4. Someone told me something that upset me today.

    Satori77 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I am surprised at places that don't have you clock in and out. In my experience, people would take advantage of that. Who could stop an employee that is habitually tardy, or leaving early. I have...

  5. Vent: Husband lost job today with no warning

    Satori77 replied to Melinurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry, and what an awful way to find out. I am glad that he still has a job until October. And I wish him good luck on his new degree. My husband is an electrician and there have been...

  6. new grad RN job in Dr.'s office

    Satori77 replied to Sanforkl's topic in General Nursing

    I agree about not taking a Dr's office job right away. That is a good position when you don't want to do bedside nursing anymore, not at the beginning of your career. Why did you get offered the...

  7. Nurses & their children..

    Satori77 replied to jellybean321's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends. Every job has it's advantages and disadvantages. A 9-5 job during the week, and you are always home nights and weekends. Most of those places close for holidays. But if you are...

  8. Northern Colorado

    Satori77 posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    Anyone live or know anything about city's north of Denver? Boulder, Ft Collins, smaller towns up there? Right now my family lives south of Denver, in Parker. I like it, but it is pretty expensive. We...

  9. Specializing

    Satori77 posted a topic in Operating Room

    I was wondering how many OR nurses specialize in certain areas (cardiac, neuro, ortho, etc). Is it different with every hospital? Are you required to work in a certain area, or have a general...

  10. Curious as to how many NICU nurses have previous personal experience in the NICU

    Satori77 replied to fmrnicumom's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Though I am not a nurse yet, I feel a strong draw towards the NICU. My mother is a nurse, and I never wanted to be one growing up. I never thought about it until I became pregnant. My daughter was...

  11. Nurse manager says you can't refuse iv

    Satori77 replied to paintedbison's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I was in labor with my daughter, I was GBS+ and needed abs. With my son, I just got a heplock, I didn't feel fluids were necessary (but I understood why access was important). As far as the...

  12. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Satori77 replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    thanks for posting this...this is a big deal to me. as much as i want to go to nursing school and not wait anymore, i don't think this school would be worth it if i can't go to grad school. i really...

  13. Scope of Practice?

    Satori77 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was wondering what the difference is between an LPN and RN? I know RN's have another year or so of school, and take more advanced classes. But what exactly can an RN do that an LPN cannot? What...

  14. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    Satori77 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I thought OR was the one place you shouldn't wear make-up...powder and such can come off your face and into the sterile field and such. Also, doesn't it just sweat/rub off wearing a mask and being...

  15. Platt college?

    Satori77 replied to tbahde's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Glad you are liking it, and it is good that you can go on and get a Master's. You said that no one cares where you get your MSN, but it does matter to some students. I personally want to go to...

  16. Platt college?

    Satori77 replied to tbahde's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I can't say for sure because I haven't been there, but someone told me that Platt is about $20,000 more total than DSON (Denver School of Nursing). For a BSN through DSON, it is around $40,000, and...

  17. Kaiser Employees

    Satori77 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Who here works for Kaiser Permanente? There is a new medical building 2 minutes from where I live (I could honestly walk or ride a bike in 2 minutes, drive in 10 seconds), and they just put up a big...

  18. Kaiser Employees

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, if I can get hired, I think Kaiser might be the way to go. Sounds

  19. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Satori77 replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    That is great! Does national accredidation only help with financial aid? Or will there be other benefits? Will graduate schools now accept DSON grads into their programs to get your MSN? OR does...

  20. Kaiser Employees

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, that really helps. Do all Kaiser's have unions? Never worked for a union before, heard good and bad things about them. When you return, will they help pay off your schooling that you are...

  21. Co Worker and snide comments

    Satori77 replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, some people are just incredible....can't beleive someone that is supposed to be a caring induvidual and non-judgemental (that is how a nurse should be anyway), would be so cruel for no reason....

  22. PRN Nurse and High school teacher? Insane?

    Satori77 replied to niubiochem's topic in General Nursing

    It will take a lot of time and effort, but if you are up for the challege, I say go for it. You can be a nurse and work with kids...peds, PICU, NICU, adolescent psych, etc...and there is a lot of...

  23. Guess What Everyone!! (and I need suggestions)

    Satori77 replied to ConfusedStudent3's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to say congrats, and good luck with nursing school. Now I never worked in a hospital in NY, but grew up in upstate NY. Loved it and would go back in a second. My father worked at Albany...
