    what is the best state for a new RN grad to find employment

    netglow replied to im_melba's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If a poster is going to post that a hospital is hiring a lot of new grads, they should post the name of the particular hospital. The reason I say this is often people post on hearsay not real...

    When to quit non-nursing job, now that I have been accepted into BSN program?.

    netglow replied to Tally4970's topic in Nursing Career

    Having read RNewbie's post. I'd tend to agree. You have good income now, you may never get an RN job. What is it now? Roughly, 47 percent of new licensed RNs never ever are hired - never work as a...

    When to quit non-nursing job, now that I have been accepted into BSN program?.

    netglow replied to Tally4970's topic in Nursing Career

    Usually after your first clinical semester? (check this in your area) you may be able to take a test to be a CNA (not a license). If you are a CNA, you may then interview for a hospital position or a...

    Is pain still the "5th Vital Sign"?

    netglow replied to SuzieF's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the OP. While patients should be assessed for pain, the "asking" so frequently about pain, is one of the questions on the survey the patient will receive in the mail... soon these things...

    RETURN TO NURSING

    netglow replied to Jerry 75's topic in General Nursing

    Would be interesting to hear how it goes. Seems these days, the very experienced nurses are the ones to be pushed out of current positions or never get interviews. So NGs and very experienced seem...

    Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    A birdy told me that Northwestern Chicago is feverishly hiring young ones and keeping them virginal, with pretty much no orientation.

    Anti-intellectual & hyper-sensitive. WHY?

    When it gets down to it, what do you all want in exchange for all your added edu? I mean seriously?! IF you want to change your practice and become an NP, well that's great, but that's a different job...

    Worried about my future as a nurse, and afraid I'll be fired

    netglow replied to j_tay1981's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Gee OP. I'd stay put and take all the help your educator is trying to give you. Do you realize that I almost never read of a struggling nurse receiving any kind of help? Most are given a shovel to dig...

    Still don't see why the Op is so upset. I'm the type who loves to help people, but don't give a flip if they don't want me to help them. Many times, people want to figure the thing out themselves. And...

    RN Reporting To A Nurses' Aide?

    netglow replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's about not wanting to pay an RN and also about not being accountable. The facility probably did hire you just in case they get scrutinized. I'd also not want to supervise UAP - your hire might be...

    Failed NCLEX RN 3 times, the max in my state

    netglow replied to Psteph's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I would not throw money at the problem. The NCLEX has really nothing to do with nursing, or what a nurse needs to know to practice nursing. The NCLEX is a game. You only need to understand how to...
