    netglow replied to HoneyBeGood's topic in Patient, Colleague 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...

    Advice - New coworker on orientation may be let go

    netglow replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    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...

    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)....

    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

    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....

    Do you need all those degrees?

    netglow replied to dnsonthego's topic in Nursing 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...

    Your Experience with Your Hospitals Cath Lab Personnel?

    netglow replied to Nursing_Mamacita's topic in Patient, Colleague 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,...

    Do you think physicians could pass the NCLEX-RN?

    netglow replied to Lev's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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...

    Kicked out of class for a "HIPAA" violation?

    netglow replied to Trip_McNeelyRN2b's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    OP, you should be able to arrive at clinical, be assigned your patient(s), take report, and then get to your orders. Just a glance should tell you if you are familiar with a med or not. If not, you...

    You think the "Nursing Glut" is bad now?

    netglow replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    But you all forget, the reason for the move to MAs is just that. They don't want thinkers. They just want "staff" to complete the list of tasks given. I see movement to off floor management centers...

    A confusing interview...should I be concerned?

    netglow replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
