    Thanks for all the input, guys. Much appreciated.

  2. Hospital Innovations

    carl5480 replied to carl5480's topic in General Nursing

    Once again you are very good at saying what won't work, but strangely silent on actually contributing to the point of the thread. I don't really care about tube systems or discharge lounges, I was...

  3. After almost a year, I finally landed myself a job

    carl5480 replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! That's pretty awesome, CM is very difficult to get into in my area, especially for a newer nurse. I also found it difficult to get hired on anywhere within the last several years,...

  4. does anyone out there copy charts to save time?

  8. Will be off orientation and I'm nervous and need advice!

    carl5480 replied to bluelion's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Since this is almost a month later, you're probably more in the swing of things now. But here's my perspective: My first two years of nursing was AWFUL. I spent the entire time scared to death, and...

  9. Is there a nursing shortage or not?

    carl5480 replied to nurse.sandi's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me that in my area (North Texas), there's not a nursing shortage that prevents people from finding jobs so much as other factors. For instance, as someone above mentioned, experience. I...
