Hope you didn't knock your bong over while typing this.

Nurses get burned out fast so maybe that's how new grads will find work...until they (the new grads) burn out. I know some nurses and nurse managers who change jobs once or twice a year because conditions are that bad. The word about working conditions, understaffing on purpose, and the nurse glut is not public knowledge yet. There is still a lot of press from hospitals and nursing schools out there about this great need or future need for hoards of nurses. See wiki's lies about how we need to graduate more and import foreign RN's etc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursing_shortage I tell hopeful nurses to go into the field only if they love it. It's a very hard job...if you can find a job.

Many good explanations of why I don't believe there will be a future RN shortage are on this thread: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/will-nursing-shortage-596791-page8.html Many RN's like myself have no money to retire on so don't count on us leaving the workforce. Also tptb will simply import ready made nurses as they have done twice before. Plus much of bedside care has become so expensive that the work is going to UAP's or becoming more automated. The few new grads hired today will be burned out and ready for a new career in 2 to 7 yrs due to the overwork forced on us by hospitals.

Yes I think the ad will encourage spiteful BON complaints by people who might not know all the facts. It seems to encourage public distrust of nurses. Maybe the National Council hasn't heard that nurse's have been voted the most trusted professionals for 11 years. It's a self-promoting ad for the ncsbn and a total waste of funds! If the National Board Of Medical Examiners or any state boards of medicine ran a ad like this the Docs would cry foul.

Exactly. Older nurses are more likely to use the added sections for notes. Not just the drop down menu. We know the importance of charting to CYA in case of law suit or in case a complaint is sent to the board of nursing.

imo some online programs who aggressively recruit and charge a fortune like UOP devalue the whole profession of nursing. I have some American military friends in Japan who tell me they can get UOP nursing degrees that are heavily subsidized by the US government. But they opted against UOP due to all the lawsuits and bad press. imo Kaplan's nursing program is is just as aggressive as UOP.

The JnJ ads run all the time in my area. "There has never been a better time to be a nurse." I know a lot of unemployed and under employed new grad RNs who would beg to differ. The over saturation of nursing programs cranking out new grad nurses here is ridiculous.

i don't have a facebook because i do not trust the lack of privacy. i know many sites collect information about you from social networking sites. google your name and you might be surprised at how much information has been collected without you knowledge or consent. spokeo, zabasearch, radaris, and intelieus all collect data about you from various sites. mylife dot com has been known to swipe photos from fb to compile unauthorized free to the public personal profiles on people with personal data such as photo, employment, addresses, relatives addresses etc. plus like ruby v i've recently worked dangerously short due to a call-in. the next day a co-worker mentioned to me that the rn who had called in sick posted about something he was doing as a facebook status. neither myself nor my co-worker told the nm but it did tick us off.

Why not offer to work free at the call center? The call center will probably accept you for free even dispite the fact that you are a highly trained RN. Problem solved, "Ralph"

Literally thousands of Filipino nurses are "willing to relocate" to the US. As you know this type of thread is supposed to be posted in the International forum. Quote allnurses "Posts pertaining to working in the US, immigration, or licensure questions specific for the US, please post it under the International Forum." I remember when Allnurses general forum was ABSOLUTELY OVERRUN by Filipino new grads and Filipino experienced nurses asking how to immigrate to the US. That's why allnurses made the rule asking that you post these questions in the international forum.

Don't expect nurses to be respected if one can't even make a coherent, concise point on allnurses. I have no clue what OP is trying to say. This thread makes no sense.

It's nice to hear that Aussie new grads have jobs. You'd have a much better chance if you got an NP degree. I've read the International section of this forum and it's sad to hear about HUGE numbers of Filipino RN's hoping and waiting to come to the US. From reading that part of this site I've gathered that there are restrictions on the number and type of foreign nurse that can work in the states.

The tight RN job market isn't just something you read about here. Talk to RN's and new grads in your area and you'll see there aren't as many jobs for RN's and the ones who have jobs are expected to do MUCH more with fewer resources and less help. My first jobs as an RN in a hospital and in a nursing home were both a cake walk compared to what hospitals and LTC's expect out of new grads today. Personally I don't see more RN jobs opening up for many years to come. My rationale? Most boomers I know CAN NOT afford to retire. What would we live on???? Our 401K's have been depleted. The cold reality I see is many boomer RN's will have to work until they are physically unable.
