   Abuse Culture in Nursing...How Far Does it Go?

   netglow replied to HoneyBeGood's topic in Relations

   The further I move away from all of this ...I understand that many nurses faced with what the profession has become, reach some kind of crossroad where they must decide to either work on getting out of nursing, or disassociate themselves mentally fro...

   Advice - New coworker on orientation may be let go

   netglow replied to Lev's topic in Relations

   Somehow ...this post sounds a bit like "someone" wants to have someone else lose their job, and is coming here to ask if they have the paper-trail in order to get that accomplished and still smell like a rose. Maybe, a friend is waiting for a positio...

   Bitter Cold

   netglow replied to HikingEDRN's topic in General Nursing

   Actually, those constant cranks will wear your battery quickly. You must be driving @10 mins non-stop - keep those wheels turning - before any recharge can occur. So stop going out just to crank it and idle it. Bottom line, if your battery is over 4...

   Oversaturation? Why am I working short staffed?

   netglow replied to Pudnluv's topic in General Nursing

   Illinois has many, many nursing colleges just pumping out nurses, IL alone could fill any, and all new nurse positions across the country (if there even were that many opportunities for new nurses). http://nursing.illinois.gov/PDF/IlApNursingEdProgPa...

   netglow replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

   OOOOOH What's terribly enlightening about that article is the fact that there are more than a few MDs who have their heads up that same unicorn's rainbow... ugh. #failuresinprivatepractice H.E.L.L.O!!

   netglow replied to amae90's topic in Career

   "Also, I would eventually like to get into plastic surgery and/or medical aesthetics and I feel the circulator position falls more in line with my passion and is a better fit for me." Being a circulator will do nothing for the future you are interest...

    Unrealistic nursing students

    netglow replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    OK everybody. The OP is just following her established thread pattern. If you look at her history over the years (yes years) she pops up with this same "Gee, golly, why?" thread, over and over. Usually I and casts of thousands prove her back into hid...

    Do you need all those degrees?

    netglow replied to dnsonthego's topic in Professionalism

    PMFB-RN, Geeeez! Your new manager can be labeled A FOOL, as she has demonstrated a complete lack of comprehension - even at the most basic level, of what that job requires of her - that she would dare to apply for the position. This all makes me sic...

    Your Experience with Your Hospitals Cath Lab Personnel?

    netglow replied to Nursing_Mamacita's topic in Relations

    Some insight I've had about some labs. Cath lab "monitor techs" are often the entitled relatives of MDs - radiologists, cardiologists etc. Used to be, there was no real education involved in that, also, no certification either - just on the job train...

    Do you think physicians could pass the NCLEX-RN?

    netglow replied to Lev's topic in NCLEX

    Of course. Anybody with very basic RN/MD education should be able to pass the NCLEX, if they have reviewed a NCLEX test taking strategy book. The NCLEX test has nothing to do with finding out if a person has knowlege of anything really - other than h...

    Kicked out of class for a "HIPAA" violation?

    netglow replied to Trip_McNeelyRN2b's topic in HIPAA

    Truths: You have just begun to realize the gravity of your situation. You will need to wallow in it first. You will need to meet with your school nursing admin and totally honestly "own" your situation. You will be remembered at this particular clini...
