  1. Factory worker one day ... nurse the next?

    momology replied to helikias's topic in General Nursing

    The nursing schools are not being honest by promising jobs and the tired old untrue shortage routine. If the factory worker needs new employment you cannot blame them for believing it. It is cruel to...

    happy little gatekeepers. evolution depends on fitter individuals breeding. so they would only need to breed before becoming too fat. so you know nothing about Darwin or his theories. the tone of the...

    momology replied to RN_in_SC's topic in Emergency

    here is some advice, all humor aside, if you don't like fat people you are in the wrong profession because that is going to be a ,no pun intended, large part of your patient population. Can you say...

  4. Sutter Health New Grad program unpaid.

    momology replied to Breezy Girl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have seen new grad open houses with H1B visa holders in attendance. They flew in from overseas to attend. Must be rich in their own country. Unlike Americans the foreign nurses help their fellow...

  5. New grads over 30, are you having trouble getting interviews?

    momology replied to freeflowchi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree about the instructors. And everything else you said but due to my age I would probably have to pay them to hire me. But hey i shouldn't give them any ideas. They used to have orderlies way...

  6. Sutter Health New Grad program unpaid.

    momology replied to Breezy Girl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Maybe if the recruiters tried a different approach they would have less trouble retaining after a year. For instance if they hire older new grads or others that there is discrimination against what...

    momology replied to freeflowchi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Freeflowchi please do not hesitate to name the hospitals who are practicing age discrimination. maybe we can do a sting with the proper authorities, however they do have older nurses on staff so they...

  8. How do you handle cheaters?

    momology replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students

    The king cheater in my school didn't just cheat at tests. He encouraged others to cheat paid for and in turn asked to be paid for cheating help. Had his girlfriend write papers for him. Set up with...

  9. Any "50-ish" Pre-Nursing Students?

    momology replied to Elle16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only noticed a few posts that actually got jobs over 50 as new grads. Anyway, most nursing schools and employers want a year of medical experience now like emt, cna or the like. They also prefer...

  10. Racist Patients

    momology replied to Williss2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was told in a class that men are over represented in the management level of nursing. Most of the men in my nursing school had plans to go directly to management as fast as possible, just not that...

  11. Racist Patients

    momology replied to Williss2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The intent of the person requesting a nurse of their own race is not questioned when they are non-white. It is seen as a cultural imperative. Maybe just maybe they want someone who is native english...

  12. Cheating in the Classroom

    momology replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The men in our classes developed weak bladders during tests. I'm sure their blackberries were very helpful to them. One fellow was a pied piper of cheating who also goaded other students to not...

  13. For all pre-nursing students

    momology replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would ask you to be specific. Name the hospitals that still have new grad programs and how many openings. Kaiser has a hiring freeze (and not just for new grads) and I know of nowhere that still has...

  14. New Grad - am I doing something wrong?

    momology replied to AhJee's topic in California Nursing

    Young, male and bilingual are the top qualities they are looking for. Experience of course is #1.I don't think hair color matters but hey you could always dye your hair blonde. UCSF does not even hire...

  15. For all pre-nursing students

    momology replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The nursing school I went to doubled the size of their class the semester after mine. Multiply that by many other schools... People are flooding into nursing schools as other things fall apart and the...

  16. For all pre-nursing students

    momology replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    New grad training is essential and costly for the hospitals. It is an internship. You will also end up following nurses who see you as competition. i don't understand why, other than to provide real...

  17. New Grad - am I doing something wrong?

    momology replied to AhJee's topic in California Nursing

    Please be specific about the Texas largesse of new grad

  18. New Grad - am I doing something wrong?

    momology replied to AhJee's topic in California Nursing

    Jobs for new grads have been thin long before the economic downturn. We were advised at our empty job fair to move out of California. A private college brought in the Army for their broke ($25k...

  19. Need honest answers about working in CA

    momology replied to denise220's topic in General Nursing

    Many facilities in California are laying off. The job market is flooded. This is some sort of Mecca because of the patient ratio. It is also the first stop for many foreign nurses.Many hospitals are...

    momology replied to ava_eureka's topic in General Nursing

    One out of four nurses in America were trained in the Phillipines or India. H1B visas were raised yet many of our nurses are being laid off. All H1B visas should be suspended until our own citizens...

  21. What The Bleep Happened To The Shortage?

    momology replied to Pedinurse888's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    As one of my professors explained....it was a projected nursing shortage. They are not about to tell you;you kept them employed with your tuition. The more ethical colleges are honest about it ....
