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 condi...

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 c...

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 professiona...

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...

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 h...

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 kno...

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 quest...

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...

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. M...

Agree. No medical school would teach the BS caring theory crap.

The "No" response was correct. You were wrong to sarcastically thank this honest knowlegible person for their 'compassion'. At least they took the time to answer your query with the truth. LTAC is similar to a rehab hosp but with some vents, etc....

I'd have to write a book in order to tell how many times I've seen hosptials pull that one. Short staff the nurses-mistake is made-hosp admin has all the power and access to all documentation-RN takes the fall. That's the reason 3 experienced RN's ...

Personally I think the shortage exists partially because of cost cutting (greedy) practices by hospital CEO's. For years they have short staff instead of filling holes with agency. And they have not improved working conditions for nurse and patient...

tweety, i've always enjoyed your posts and trust you information. what you said here really worries me because i always felt that not accepting an unsafe assignment was my only recourse. a safety net for my patients as well as my very livelihood (m...

I've always loved the allnurses mods and staff but I feel compelled to put my 2 cents in here. I really wish this thread hadn't been moved from the general forum to a forum that doesn't have a prominent tab or frequent visitors. Most users of alln...

Quote op "is it detrimental to my job as an RN if I am also stripping on the side for additional money? Can I be fired for this?" Yes if your hospital found out it could easily be detrimental to your job. Despite the fact that stripping is complet...

I'm glad to hear some BONs aren't so quick to offer the peer programs. My state is still big on 'protecting' and hiding what these nurses have done. Once they make it through the program they can practice again and no one ever knows because there is ...

Wow. A very real and well written look at the speciality of Psychiatric Nursing. Thanks for sharing your story.

My .02, save your money. The ANA is a powerless joke, they have done nothing to improve working conditions for staff/bedside nurses.
