  3. on the job psych testing

    I have had to take "an assessment" when applying o line for jobs. That's crazy : roll eyes : aren't we all a little bit so for being in this
  4. This irks me too. Maybe RN's should refer to themselves as Registered Nurses, not as "nurses". You can't be an RN without passing your boards. Hello ANA - some guidance
  5. Possible termination for HIPAA violations

    Who determines who has a "right" to look at your chart? I believe all patients sign a consent stating they agree to allow their information to be shared with appropriate personnel - insurance...
  6. Please Help...CM or Clinical Nurse?

    Go with your gut, but keep in mind, it takes a long time in one particular location to begin to feel comfortable and competent. I think the value you will receive from clinical experience will be...
  7. Education/experience required

    I am currently enrolled in a Case Management course, which I decided would give me an advantage when applying for a CM position. Most job opportunities I see want experienced CM's, certification...
  8. Certification Requirements for RN's

    BCLS is on the American heart Association website for the online course. Then you can find a local skills test location to do the skills part. $50 PALS classes listed in the website also. NRP is...
  9. Tylenol IV

    So, if I understand correctly, you administered a medication you knew nothing about? I do hope you only neglected to write in your post that you spoke with the pharmacy about the drug, how it should...
  10. What aesthetic experience do you
  11. Medical Assistants the new RNs???

    The Family Practice office I go to allows their MA to inject Botox. Apparently, if the doctor allows it, their MA can do anything. What next - starting IV's. AND - if you want a flu shot, etc you...
  12. Oops, meant to say check with Oregon
  13. I would check with the CA BON for their requirements. I hadn't worked for 5 years and went to get my AZ license by endorsement from WI and it was mandatory that I take a refresher course selected by...
  14. Just wondering, since I am considering going this route for financial reasons. Many of the programs I looked at are accredited, but do employers look down at your education I'd you receive it online?...
  15. I've been in the same dilemma. There are tons of posted jobs, but I have yet to have a face to face interview from any of the many online applications I have submitted. Yes, I have 20 yrs of hospital...

    Sorry - didn't realize this original post was in 2004! Why did it bump to the top of list
  18. Banner Health

    Humph- I've been trying for months to get hired at Banner and can't get past HR's computer select/decline based on my online application. Then, only to receive a "we are considering other candidates...
  19. Male nurse in L&D

    I don't believe the above post meant for you to seek psych help - it was intended for the people who have the hang-ups about male nurses in L&D to "get over it", and support you in whatever...
  20. Maybe bedside nursing isn't for me

    I've tried aesthetics - you won't make the same money doing
  21. discovered and reported falsification of VS

    There are way too many people who are out of work now, and I am sure there is a line of very good, competent and honest CNA's out there who would jump at at chance to work. Jobs are not a "right",...
  22. Male nurse in L&D

    Male doctors or residents are ok? But if it's a male RN - what's the
  23. At what point do I complain?

    I would suggest a very good state board review
  24. I am pursuing a new career avenue and want to find other nurses who do cosmetic injections - botox, dermafillers, etc. Are you working with physicians, or in a day spa environment? What education...
  25. I Can't Find A Preceptor!

    Would you believe I cannot find a facility that can provide me with a preceptorship to get my license? I can't tell you the frustrations I have had after moving from Wisconsin to Arizona. My WI...
