    Your Favorite Nursing Job

    xoemmylouox replied to xoemmylouox's topic in General Nursing

    We all have to pay the bills and if it wasn't you doing it, someone else would be. I may be still slightly rainbows and sunshine, but I'm not oblivious. "Making a difference" is becoming harder with...

    4/2 WILTW: Disney Edition

    xoemmylouox replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I met a parent this week who wasted my time beyond belief. The things she asked me to do were ridiculous and pointless. I still attempted to meet her needs so I could get what I needed done. Then I...

    ADN bridge program $20K and no prereqs? willing to travel

    xoemmylouox replied to Natasha A.'s topic in LPN to RN

    I agree with the PP. You'll need to look at private schools, which are less likely to have housing. You can rent an apartment anywhere so housing shouldn't be an

    Balancing work and family

    I work like a dog outside of the home and my hubby works like a dog as a stay at home dad. I am currently working two jobs and going to

    Job to live off of while in nursing school?

    xoemmylouox replied to jojofutureRN's topic in General Students

    Apply to be a tech at a local hospital. Most will train you on the job, and since they are open 24/7 you should be able to work around your school schedule. You'll get experience with some hands on...

    I thought that if you had clinicals at a hospital you had "your foot in the door"

    xoemmylouox replied to ant123's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah I haven't found that to be true. If you connect well with a UM or staff, that helps, but that's not a guarantee. Keep trying. Work on your interviewing skills. If your interview was recently it...

    3/19 What I learned this week: more about employment laws than anything else

    xoemmylouox replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry. I've been there. I am glad your SO is being so supportive. That helps not make the situation worse. Please take care of yourself and get the help you need. Life can really blow...

    3/19 What I learned this week: more about employment laws than anything else

    xoemmylouox replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I'm beyond terrified to start my new position as well. I'm trying to play it cool, but it takes everything I have to get up just thinking about it (and I don't start for a few weeks). I hope you find...

    So frustrated.

    xoemmylouox posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I went to a job fair this week at a local hospital system. I was dressed professionally, plenty of resumes in hand. The ad specifically said RN's, LPN's, & MA's. However once I got to speak with...

    Confused work ethics :-/

    xoemmylouox replied to pedsNP15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow.. Sounds like they are micro-managing to the extreme. I wouldn't want to be watched every second. I would say that if this evaluation is better, perhaps you should extend the period to 6 months...

    Not Enough Backup-CPS?

    xoemmylouox replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    You should report this. I have worked in peds for over 9 years. This has so many red flags. CPS can sort out what is going on. At least you will have someone outside of the school/home involved on the...

    3/12: what I learned this week: ALWAYS taper your SSRI

    xoemmylouox replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    It seems many of us are not in a good place. I'm so sorry to hear that. Mental illness is exhausting for the person with it as well as their support (hopefully we all have at least that 1 person we...

    Written Job Offer Rescinded=jobless

    xoemmylouox replied to RNlvn's topic in General Nursing

    That is so frustrating. They shouldn't have given you a written job offer if not everything was done. Reapply for you old job or keep applying for a new one elsewhere. Good

    Need some advice - am I that unreasonable?

    xoemmylouox replied to ACNPmomof2's topic in General Nursing

    Wow.. That call requirement is pure crazy! I cannot imagine. How are you supposed to have any sort of life away from work? I hope you can find somewhere else that is willing to work around your school...

    never seem to be getting the hard patients

    xoemmylouox replied to GE90's topic in General Nursing

    Oh the hard patients will come. Take this time to spend that extra time with your patients. Review their charts more thoroughly than you usually do, talk to them about their health/what got them...

    What do you do when a pt goes into anaphylactic shock?

    I have participated in several codes. Each person has their own role. So depending on what your "role" is, you might be a recording, doing compressions, assisting with the airway, pushing meds, a...
