  1. How to learn Hedis in order to apply for jobs

    neatnurse30 posted a topic in Quality Improvement

    I recently read a lot about QI/QA on this forum, and this nursing specialty sounds so interesting. I really want to get away from the bedside care nursing. My friend recently got a job with healthcare...

  2. from RN to Pharmacy tech

    neatnurse30 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everybody, I'm an RN for 2.5 years now working on medical oncology floor. The way I see things are done in hospital, and how stressful and disrespectful nursing is, I'm thinking about career change...

  3. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    neatnurse30 replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If the family has no insurance, then that means they are not working. Maybe they should have thought about birth control before conceiving a child which they can't afford. Why should I feel guilty now...

  4. Changing to a non-nursing career?

    neatnurse30 replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    Sangria, Yes, I would definetely would like to know more what you are doing. I hope it's not some type of sales business, because I'm not good at

  5. Health care a right or privilege

    neatnurse30 replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Anything that cost is not a right. Healthcare is not a right, it is a commodity because it costs. If you go to the mall, or grocery store you know that you have to pay, nobody is arguing with the...

  6. Changing to a non-nursing career?

    neatnurse30 replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    I recently quit my new job in an outpatient oncology. I quit my job in a hospital last year where I worked for several years and truly hated it. I really don't like nursing and don't want to do it...

  7. Any stress relieving ideas for nursing student?

    neatnurse30 replied to Keika57's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If you are already stressed out in nursing school, wait till you get a nursing job. Then it will be a real stress! I'm not saying it out of spite. Most of the nurses on my med surg floor left nursing...

  8. Does the thought of going to your job make you sick?

    neatnurse30 replied to Lucky724's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Angie1368- you are right. I thought that nursing school with clinicals was a nightmare. That is nothing comparing to the real HELL of nursing once you are in a hospital/assisted living type...

  10. career change from accounting to nursing?

    neatnurse30 replied to Nicky143's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm an RN for 6 years now. I honestly regret this decision to ever become a nurse as it is one of the most stressful jobs one could have. I would love to have a quiet office room/cubicle. Nursing, at...

  11. Ever lost a job offer because of your reference?

    neatnurse30 replied to lily1289's topic in General Nursing

    After working 6 years in a hospital on a medical oncology unit I decided to find a non-hospital job. I just finished 2 interviews. In both cases, I needed to provide at least 2 references, and yes-...

  12. Criticized for being nervous . . .

    neatnurse30 replied to MakeAWish's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing wrong with being nervous if you are new to the skills and procedures required on your unit. I was a nervous wrack as a new grad too! I must say that a lot of times the preceptor can...

  13. New student..what should i do?

    neatnurse30 replied to cellphone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would never pay that much money for nursing degree- now that I know from my experience working as an RN. First of all, if I would have to take students loans for so much money, I would go to study...

  14. any RNs working as an "advice nurse" here?

    neatnurse30 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I currently work on a medical floor (6 years total). I'm trying to get a job outside of the hospital- because I'm tired of bedside nursing and can't imagine doing it for any longer. I just saw an ad...

  15. any RNs working as an "advice nurse" here?

    neatnurse30 replied to neatnurse30's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for your reply. I kind of suspected that triage is probably not the best option for me, and with all phone calls recorded, it would stress me out if I did said something wrong to the

  16. Feeling alone & depressed today

    neatnurse30 replied to rnbsnmsn's topic in General Nursing

    Stealing things is terrible- you were teenager at that time, so you were not a little kid, you knew what you were doing. So you should have not wondered why the future employer will be suspicious of...

  17. Standard Hospital Scrubs National Standard?

    neatnurse30 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    We are color coded- in our hospital system ( which is 6 of the hospitals) we wear navy blue. We had sponsors who paid for the scrubs so each full-time nurse got 2 sets of scrubs, prn nurses got 1...

  18. Should I get my ADN or BSN based on my life goals?

    neatnurse30 replied to Maria2694's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In my area, hospitals want BSN nurses, so it will be hard to get a job for you later if you only have an associate. I would think really hard if I were you- nursing school is extremely exhausting! And...

  19. ? To Hosp Managers

    neatnurse30 replied to M&M Rn's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to have a job in a public health. It is strange that they hired a new grad, because all the positions in my area for a public health nurse require either hospital or community health...

  20. My monthly semi-coherent rant on the state of healthcare

    neatnurse30 replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

    Very well written. Yes, we don't care any more about the patients- because we have so many things to work on beside the patient: hourly rounds, belonging sheets fill up, tickets to ride ( each time pt...

  21. Dislike working in the lab!

    neatnurse30 replied to jordanl's topic in General Nursing

    What exactly makes you miserable in the lab- is it too boring for example? I'm a nurse, and if I knew what I was getting myself into, I would choose other professions in the healthcare for example...

    neatnurse30 replied to Jaimie.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow, I would run away from this place stat!!!! It is not safe and your well being is important as well as your license. I don't see any reason to stay in such place as this one. Shame on facilities...

  24. I hate being a nurse

    neatnurse30 replied to SJE RN's topic in Nursing Career

    I hear you. I agree that bedside nursing is extremely draining and these 12 hour shifts don't help either. I sometimes float to psych unit and kind of like there- it is very different there comparing...
