  1. OP, you are probably feeling that there is something LARGE lacking from the programs. You are correct. Nursing programs are not what they should be. You are hesitant because you are wary, and correct...

    asking for meds?

    This, this, this, this!!! Shaking my head in disbelief that there is even confusion about this.

    Inappropriate to call?

    Network all you want. Remember you run your world. Keep those you find you want to keep as you move on. Screw those who fabricate reasons not to network. They are ridiculous silly
  4. Also means he came up the work-way. He probably teched at some point. He probably did SCUT and was taught right the in the old ways docs used to be brought up. He knows what his co-workers do and how...

    GPA in ADN program

    Oh, and I should add that this was only allowed if they had room for another student, in with the new group taking the classes you want to redo. So, someone would have to have dropped out of the...

    GPA in ADN program

    I didn't know it was possible to repeat any core nursing classes randomly just for a higher GPA. The program I was in, you got what you got - no finessing allowed. If you did not pass, you might be...

    Employment gap

    I agree. I left a job that was no good for my shiny new license. I have a massive previous work hx so I knew rather quickly that if it looks like X, smells like X, then it is X. So knowing I would...
  10. Well everybody knows where 99% of the NICU-only thing comes from. It's "I don't want to have nothin to do with mouthy, smelly, obnoxious people over the age of one month". Can't blame 'em. But, you...

    What do you pack in your lunch box?

    Love my greek yogurt, Fage, actually I think was it Leslie who turned me on to it here? Great stuff. Was thinking on the hard boiled eggs... what's the deal on those, do you all peel and then...

    It is the management

    Well that just sucks. Hard for me to learn if all I get to work with are doe-eyed, first ever real job, early-20 somethings. Jules, don't

    I am just.........simply thrilled.

    So glad to hear it Erik. Don't know what the boys (eh, hem - cats) will do with you at home sleeping at night. Sheesh, what a long time of waiting just to change jobs with all your experience....

    2 weeks notice

    Yes, what American RN said, spot on. Unless you feel you are in a hostile learning environment, HOLD YOUR HORSES. I have heard of several situations where the orientation has been extended. Take one...

    Help. Is my outrage justified?

    Well, now it is up to you to decide if you want to run the gauntlet. Nursing school is a joke. You will learn nothing that will prepare you for nursing while in school. Thing is, you have to just do...

    retaliation after resignation?

    I tend to agree with JTW, in that you are leaving. You don't stand to gain anything by doing more than just your job for hopefully the two weeks notice. Always try to remind yourself to think, "What...

    Is that even legal?

    Wait, uh, guys a little gossip about Moogie... She doesn't see the problem, so don't anybody bring it up. But, Moogie had a little mishap with the blade a while back (her photo... nuff said). Not...

    Can You Believe This?

    The poster who said that they will pin it on you if something goes wrong is right. Then, imagine yourself sitting in front of your BON. Problem with nursing is that you cannot say "your boss ordered...
  19. Is it common to be offered shadowing? Sure, just depends on how that unit/facility wants to do things. Doesn't mean you are tops at anything, just means you are in the running. Do they want to get an...

    Endometriosis nursing

    Look up the Endometriosis Association online. Look up their list of member physicians. Specifically look into surgeons. There are a few well known surgeons out there who specialize in endo tx....
  21. I get you OP. Hard to work with people who seem to "not get" that this profession demands mentorship. All healthcare clinical jobs require mentorship. After a few years of experience, it is part of...

    Would your institution hire an MSN w/o BSN?

    I think what's happening is due to the flood of MSNs with absoulutely no professional clinical experience entering the field, facilities are now wise to the "empty degree" and what a mess it makes for...

    Restraint-free facility = FALLS GALORE

    Nice, how ridiculous. I ran into one of these places (didn't work there). Funny how many new residents leave home/assisted living originally due to a fall, and are moved to a place where the family...
  24. "Unbelievable. Where are they hiring these "nurses" from?" Beware of unafiliated home health/hospice. Often they like to hire new nurses and offer inadequate training. This brings in the cash for the...
