For this election I voted early using an absentee ballot. No driving to the poles, no waiting in line.

I've always thought that personal matters should be kept private.

Most hospitals have websites to check out. You can even look at job postings. With the job market for nurses the way it is I don't think you'll have a problem doing whatever you want.

Your not too late. I graduated from nursing school at 32, but my study partner was 45. I'm sure you'll do fine with whatever you decide.

I'd give the two-week notice and split.

They can charge you for damage because it's not your property. We use these phones and I like them. No more being tied to a desk waiting for a physician to call back. The ones we use can be inserted into a holder that clips to the hip. I haven't broken one yet.

My thought would be: just look professional. Remember, it's a job interview and not a night club.

If what you say is true I'd document it with copies to your facilities administration and your state board of nursing. Again, If what you say is true she's practicing medicine without a license and could hurt someone.

My sentiments exactly.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Just tell them. Then disable the phone when you need to sleep.

I'd finish the contract and find a different company.

When you change recruiters you deal with the new one. You won't hear from the other recruiter anymore.

Call the company you work for and ask to speak to the supervisor or vice president over the recruiters and tell her/him your concerns and that you'd like another, more responsive, recruiter. I did this and received a call from my new recruiter in a matter of minutes. The competition for nurses in the travel industry is fierce.

Sounds pretty normal to me. Most of us get nervous anticipating a job interview. Just do it anyway.

I run a unit at 200-250cc/hr, unless otherwise ordered. If multiple units are ordered and the patient has a hx of CHF the physicians usually order an IV dose of lasix between units to head off fluid overload.

I've always used filter needles when drawing from glass ampoules.

ADN's have a wide open job market. Good luck.

I'm looking for the scrubs that come with matching suspenders.

Variety is one of the best things about this business. If you want lots of excitment then choose a level 1 trauma center and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Or try ICU. Or work staff ED and do agency ICU. The possibilities are yours to explore. People say lots of things and some will tell you what you should do. It's OK to seek the counsel of others, but in the end you have to decide for yourself. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine.

Relax!! You're a new grad! Give yourself a break. In time you'll gain more experience and confidence. No matter how you feel just do things to the best of your ability. That's all you can do. We've all been there.

Mastering ACLS, a Springhouse publication. It's a paperback too. Probably paid in the $30.00 range for it.

Used to drive 72 miles each way. Did it for 2.5 years. Pretty tough trying to stay awake for the ride home after 12 hr nights. Since I lived in the country and worked in the city you can imagine the nightmare of traffic I drove into and then tried to escape on the ride home. And if there was an accident or inclement weather the commute became exponentially excruciating. Personally, I wouldn't do it again.

The governments job is to protect citizens. Not provide healthcare for them. Compared to the socialized mess in France and Canada, we're doing just fine. Don't forget that healthcare is a commodity, it has a price. As for the future of nursing: it's a wide open job market.
