kay, i feel for you i really do. It sucks being the victim of other people when you yourself has done nothing wrong. I would keep on trying places LTC's and so on. And never talk bad about your last employer. But don't you want to get revenge on those Nurses? it would make you feel better but might land you in worse trouble. And i know what being black balled is I live in a rural community myself and i have friends who are so called black balled for No reason just because they didn't fit in. You may want to think about going out side your town even if it's 45 mins a way you might have a shot there. Thats what my friends did and they landed great jobs One is a school nurse and loves it and has never looked back I'm sorry this happen to you really but don't let it get you down. Have a great 4th of July. Think outside your box and outside of your town. Good Luck.. I'm sure your a good caring nurse... Anthony

Don't beat yourself up over it. As a new nurse everyone doubt's themselves sounds to me your a great nurse or will be a great nurse in time. Just remember if it takes you to read the MAR 3 times then do it... slow down speed will come in time. Like tra10 said Congrats... Shake it off and move on... Anthony

Try MONA on Facebook I'm sure there is someone that can help on there. Good Luck.. Anthony

Depending where you live. I started out in a LTC / RCF and Moved in to Psych at our local State Ran Hospital. And all the while i was trying to get in to a hospital. I was tired of being just a babysitter to the people as well as my own aids under me. I have seen many of my Co-workers get pick up at the local hospital and who are now RN's. Speaking to a Nurse Recruiter of the hospital she said i had no acute care under me and it would almost impossible to get in to the hospital. Then in her same breath said Do you know anyone who works there that might help to get you in. The Hospital has a stepping stone program. I would of loved to gotten in to that program. They pay for you to go to school to become a RN and you have to sign a 2 yr contract with them. So depending where you live and how many people you know in the hospital your trying to work at depends weather or not you shot yourself in the foot as far as working in a LTC first... Anthony

Tele is Telephone. I thought they had Tele's in Ireland or is it England? kidding lol. It's what everyone else said i was just trying to be funny.. Anthony

Have you tried brainetics, I have teacher friends who swear by this program and it's not just for kids it's for adults as well. I'm not promoing the sight. I'm just saying and i also have a few nurse friends who took the course to get better on their math score for there TEAS Test and they flew past the math because of that program. Here's the sight if your interested.. https://www.brainetics.com Good Luck... Anthony..

Karma Here, Hey all you AN folks out there, You know it's summer time.. Some of us have elderly people in our life Family, Friends, might even be the people next door. Elderly people can't cool down like the rest of us so do yourself a favor Check On Them. Yes Check On Them. Make sure Air is working. When you go over to your parents, grandparents, and even next door look at them make sure they have water and stuff. Look we all get busy.. I know life work family but take time out and look around you. Often times we hear of old people dying because of the heat or the winter cold. Were Nurse's so let's take time and check on people even if you don't know them who knows you might make a new friend. The little time you take might just save a life and that's what we do best.....

See according to what has been handed down. Your credit to an employer tells them the type of employee you may be. It's all crap and it's a way for Corporate America to violate your private life. Why do i say this.. Well what if your husband had an Illness and it effected your credit. Well to them your a risk no matter what. Same with auto insurance a poor credit score to them means you might cost them money because according to their study people with bad credit or questionable credit according to them is more likely to get in to or cause an accident you think I'm kidding about this look it up. I hope this doesn't effect your job or getting a job. They think and feel if you have poor or bad credit you are likely to get in to Medication trouble either by dealing the med's or stealing or even taking them yourself. They feel if you have money problems and a bad credit score means you have money problems or poor money management you can't make the bills and you will do anything to fix it even lie cheat or steal from an employer. This is what the world is coming to. I hope you get your job and everything is ok. I myself hate doing credit reports for jobs i think and feel it's none of their business.. I wish you luck..., Anthony

The End ...This Is The End . My Only Friend The End

Touch Me... . Come On Come On Now Touch Me Babe Can't You See That I'm not afraid. Big Doors Fan Here kinda grew up on Santa Monica Pier

Alabama Song.. Oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar oh don't ask why.

I hate to be the bad guy here. But don't you think it would be best if hospitals didn't pray over a loud speaker. Not everyone shares your religion kinda like a moment of silence. And i agree with Flo. It's hard now a day's to know what is proper and what's not. So best not try anything.... Anthony

First of remember they are like you and put their scrubs on the same way you do. I think you know how to act Don't get nervous just answer the questions she or he gives you. Interview her as well. Ask her questions sound interested. Remember you have to fit in the hospital as much as they have to fit in to you. As far as the question's it's any ones guess Just be upfront and honest and if you don't know something Tell Them YOU DON'T KNOW. She just might want to meet you before the hire as well just be ready for anything. Good Luck tell us how you do... Anthony

This reminds me of a joke about pen's Here we go... Planning to cash her paycheck, a nurse walks into a bank. She reaches into her pocket to pull out a pen to sign her check. Instead of a pen, she finds she has pulled out a rectal thermometer from the pocket. She looks at the rectal thermometer in complete shock. "Oh no!" she states in disbelief. "Some ***hole has my pen!" HaHaHa there you go so the next time you go searching for a pen think of this... Anthony

Where did i get my MD??? I didn't know i was a MD. I thought i was a LPNWA. ( Licensed Practical Nurse With Attitude) And yes i have seen preemies And Yes i understand that concept maybe a little better then you. That's why they make face mask's gowns and gloves or did you forget that part. And really she knows the drill It's a holiday. I don't know where you work but where i worked Holidays are a NO NO. Just like Snow Day's You best be in the ER Hooked up to monitors and dying. I have gone to work with Strep, Colds, Flu's, Allergy's, I have been exposed to TB, MRSA, Cdiff, Sar's There's a list. And i do know what exposing someone does. My wife has Heart problems 30 heart Caths, 3 Open Heart Surgery's with valve replacement and 1 Heart Ablation, And we still have more to go and she's only in her 40's. And as far as calling The OP a little girl lighten up really i was kidding. Or I hope she knows i was kidding. RN's you think because you get licensed you know everything. Look at me I went to school for 4 yrs I'm cool. Well guess what your not i can circle's around most RN's and that's a fact This LPN read's medical journals for a hobby and you call yourself a RN Diva really????? Kinda calling the kettle black don't you think. And i never said she was whining or trying to get out of work. I'm sure she's a very smart person who knows her body and knows if she is good to go or not. And may i just add the Inappropriate. Look were not on the floor your not my charge and really i was telling her what you would tell someone. Or are you the type who Tell's people to stay home then complains because of the amount of work they left you for being sick.... Think About It... I like The RN Diva Part..... Anthony PS.... Untreated streptococcal pharyngitis usually resolves within a few days Treatment with antibiotics shortens the duration of the acute illness by about 16 hours. The primary reason for treatment with antibiotics is to reduce the risk of complications. The symptoms of strep throat usually improve irrespective of treatment within three to five days... So you want the OP to take 3-5 days off correct??? Treatment with antibiotics reduces the risk of complications and transmission; children may return to school 24 hours after antibiotics are administered. So if kids can go back with in 24 hrs then Hmm i stand corrected.. Like i said before... Have a Great day at work OP... Get Well Soon.... Anthony [/url]
