Work from Home Nursing Job

Nurse SMS replied to aship's topic in Nursing Career

Your profile says you have one year of experience. This means you are unlikely to get hired for any remote positions unfortunately. Most of them are either triage or working for insurance companies,...
Getting Hired After Being Fired

Nurse SMS replied to Dani_Sanchez777's topic in Nursing Career

I think finding out if you are re-hirable is your first step. I think you have valid reasons for not working there any longer. Simply state to anyone asking that the first position turned out to be a...
From bedside to Nursing Informatics?

Nurse SMS replied to Len's topic in Nursing Career

Well, nobody can tell you whether to focus on advanced practice or informatics - that is apples and oranges. It is worth noting that Nursing Informatics is a relationship-heavy position. You will...
I Think I'm Done

Nurse SMS replied to abrew98's topic in Nursing Career

Its never easy to transfer to NICU, so be prepared for that. In general, NICU's have low turnover and any that they do have is generally on nights. You will want to see if you can get on some...
Remote Nursing Jobs in California

Nurse SMS replied to labornurse123's topic in Nursing Career

Informatics is definitely not a 9-5 position. There is a lot of teaching involved in that position and all shifts have to receive it. There is stress in all jobs, but definitely less away from...
Nurse Educator Career Path

Nurse SMS replied to FutureDrNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

Yeah, most teaching, whether in an acute care setting or in an academic setting, is going to require a minimum of 5 years acute care experience, and for very good reason. You can't teach what you have...
I feel like it’s my fault

Nurse SMS replied to PGHNurse412's topic in General Nursing

Is it possible? Yes. Was it because of the fluids? No. Plus, you didn't do this. You followed a proper protocol. You had a physician's order. Time to move on friend. This wasn't on...
How to Increase My Chances at Becoming Unit Educator

Nurse SMS replied to violet87's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

Nursing and being a youtuber

Nurse SMS replied to xlightx's topic in General Nursing

Its just a hobby outside of work, to be true. The crossover comes when people find out what kind of work he does and where and then match it up with the kinds of "pranks" he is pulling and whether...
New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

Nurse SMS replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

This is just silly. Fair doesn't figure in when it comes to feeding a family, paying bills or succeeding in a career. The fact that modern day folks can even state this is a sign of how good we have...
New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

Nurse SMS replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

I don't think they are looked down upon at all. Getting the good ones in the door to work for US is a huge priority here. HOWEVER....hiring them takes a LOT more time, work, expense and mentoring than...

Nurse SMS replied to nursex23's topic in General Nursing

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

Help! Why is switching specialties so difficult?

Nurse SMS replied to EDNurse07's topic in General Nursing

I know in my area of the country switching into those specialties is all but impossible unless you find a residency or internship. It is a high demand specialty and just super hard to break into for...
President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

A large swatch of our population finds nothing funny at all about Donald Trump. I also didn't see where there was any joking going on. But then Donald Trump likes to say he was only kidding when he...
New nurse & soon to be first time mom.. mental health being affected majorly. Help!

Nurse SMS replied to Swirl531's topic in General Nursing

I wanted to come back and add - If you and your husband had an agreement about you working before this, you owe it to him to do everything you can to live up to your side of that. There is a lot in...

President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

Nope. Had enough of Trumper gaslighting. We have seen it all with our own eyes Sir and we live his lack of Covid planning and response every. single. day. No assumptions here. Facts. Not...
NYC New grad

Nurse SMS replied to Nmink's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

None of you state if you have a BSN. New York hospitals have some pretty strict BSN requirements. Hiring freezes happen due to financial struggles. Plenty of hospitals are struggling since Covid...

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

He fires anyone who disagrees with him. Those he cannot fire, he slanders. His method of doing business is to chase the other team out of business. In this case, the "other team" are fellow...
Used to Be a Cam Model - Will it Show up on a Background Check?

Nurse SMS replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

I would add that I am not aware of anywhere that cam modeling is illegal. I suspect for this to be truly a big deal you would have had to be arrested for it. If you ever did something that lead to an...
President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

Of course not. But you aren't trying to invalidate science or call out people for having scientifically based opinions. If you were calling into question the things I know as an educated and informed,...
How to Increase My Chances at Becoming Unit Educator

Nurse SMS replied to violet87's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

That is understandable re: advancing your education. FWIW, it only cost me $20K to get mine and its opened a lot of doors beyond being a unit based educator. I had 5+ years when I got my first...
