  2. Medical Staffing Agency Opinion?

    KaringOne replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should try the staffing agency. Depending on who they have their contracts with, you could gain a great deal of experience working with agency as a CNA. Many times, they get hospital...

  3. States with Real Nursing Shortages?

    KaringOne replied to KaringOne's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm an LPN bridging to RN. Two & a half years ago, I left Northern MO to come to TN (for familial reasons)...I never had a problem finding a job as an LPN while in MO. I wondered if being an...

  4. States with Real Nursing Shortages?

    KaringOne replied to KaringOne's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, bummer. I don't think I'm the person who will like "roughing it". Nope, not my thing. But it sounds like it could be an adventure for someone. Perhaps there is another

    KaringOne replied to KaringOne's topic in General Nursing

  6. A Nurse CAN be both sexy & smart

    KaringOne replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

  7. Before you had ANY type of nursing training/education, did you know anything?

    KaringOne replied to wishfulthinking21059's topic in General Nursing

    I knew CPR. From being a female I knew the basics such as "You are supposed to wipe front-to-back". Don't laugh.. You have no idea how many people actually do not know

  8. Person-centered approach

    KaringOne replied to b0rea1is's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have worked in Alzheimer's & dementia units many times before. While I sort of agree with your point of view on this issue, I can also understand their side too. With the facility wanting to let...

  9. night workers- how do you keep a normal routine/life?

    KaringOne replied to arnie1234's topic in General Nursing

    KaringOne replied to netglow's topic in Emergency

    I'm sorry, but I don't get it & I've watched it twice. Is it his speech impediment? Is that what's supposed to be funny? Oh well, to each his/her own-I

  12. Question for those who work with a majority of Filipino nurses

    KaringOne replied to samirish's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but this sounds so grade-schoolish. "They won't talk to me! They won't be my friends!" I mean, really people? This can be anyone from any ethnicity. Of course they'll speak their...

  14. Work at Rehab, Lose Chance in Med/Surg?

    KaringOne replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    I can't see why it would kill your chances. I've worked Rehab before & then went to work in Med Surg. You will still get to do a significant amount of procedures in Rehab. It may not be as hectic...

  16. Night Shift

    KaringOne replied to LadyTiger44's topic in General Nursing

    The driving home in the mornings after the night shift was extremely difficult for me. Sometimes I would get a 5 hour energy drink...Sometimes I just prayed. Ultimately, I found another job. Still...

  17. What is harder A&P or Micro?

    KaringOne replied to aubreyeve's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I feel that A&P was harder, the labs more time-consuming. Micro was a breeze. I was working in a hospital @ the time & found learning about the different microbes & lab tests very helpful...

  18. Who else loves their job

    KaringOne replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    I know that sometimes there is a great deal of talk about long term care-but I love working w/ the elderly. Just listening to their stories & making them smile, there is nothing greater. You learn...

    KaringOne replied to StL_Momma27's topic in General Nursing

  20. Would you work as a CNA or LVN if you could not find work as an RN?

    KaringOne replied to indigonurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Now that's just crazy! (I wanted to post something else, but I'll refrain from doing so.) I would work as an LPN with an RN license. I would do CNA work, but not for CNA pay. Can almost work anywhere...

    KaringOne replied to tambourine's topic in General Nursing

    Before Missouri became a Compact State, I was an LPN there. Then, I decided to move to TN. Well, I had to get some paperwork from the BON in MO, then take another fingerprint screen & background...

  24. Unreasonable female 30 something p'ts

    KaringOne replied to pedicurn's topic in Emergency

    Try to remain calm. It is obvious that all their anger & frustration does not stem from you. They are being reminded that they really don't have complete control of the goings-on in their lives...
