  1. Add'l jobs for RN's other than bedside

    jml444 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am just getting ready to graduate and am looking for a job right now. Presently I am interviewing in different hospitals, however, I don't think the bedside is where I want to be long term. Other...

    jml444 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    jml444 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

  4. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

    jml444 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    Love it!!!!! You would think that to be the case with the attitude's of some of the "seasoned" nurses. I came across so many of that type during my clinical rotations- they are a pain in the rear...

  7. Is Rehab the wrong place to start out?

    jml444 replied to jml444's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well I guess maybe it will be okay. You're right, everything will be new at first- so I guess getting the routine down of a hospital, learning the documentation, etc is the first step, and if after 6...

  16. Has this happened to any of you? I'm shocked..

    jml444 replied to Kellied1983's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just went on an interview at a hospital in Baltimore this past Thursday and I was asked if I could lift at least 50 lbs because she said it was a state mandated thing that nurses must be able to...

    jml444 replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree, I wouldn't normally correct anyone's spelling, but was responding to "allboutfamily's" post, in which along with her condescending attitute, corrected someone else's spelling of NCLEX (which...

    jml444 replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    jml444 replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I couldn't quite tell if you were responding to my post or not, and had a little difficulty following your post. Your thoughts were a little unclear, couldn't tell if you have a BSN or an ADN, and...

    jml444 replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well I would hope that your "accelerated BSN program" requires a lot more hours than an associates degree program- after all you are getting a bachelors degree out of it!! I'm glad for you as well as...

    jml444 replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
