    sick, worried...

    netglow replied to JeniRN's topic in General Nursing

    Roser, this is how it is where I live. Everybody wants to be able to be at home and away from patients when sick!! But, you are told "that's what PPE is for". It does

    Must have first aid items

    netglow replied to willi123's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you would never want to find you did the wrong thing and have an injury that should have been treated promptly and correctly by EMS, ER, or urgent care clinic -- turn out to be disfiguring or even...

    HELP! Loosing my job!

    netglow replied to Aiten's topic in General Nursing

    The OP is correct. New grads are in home health, hospice, ICU, level one trauma.... anything goes these days. It is up to the employer to decide if they want to hire or not. It is the manager's fault,...

    Pretty bummed - going to apply for a couple of PRN jobs at LTC facilities while I

    netglow replied to Irock's topic in General Nursing

    I think the huge negatives about LTC only have to do with the working conditions. After all much of adult medicine in hospital has to do with the geriatric pop. No disrespect at all is

    sick, worried...

    netglow replied to JeniRN's topic in General Nursing

    I will work unless I have knowledge that I need to be within 5 feet of the bathroom . In my area, you go into work with a cold. You wear a mask. You take whatever meds help your symptoms. Hope they...

    Input from Chicago RNs please!

    netglow replied to Sparrow23's topic in Illinois Nursing

    You have to remember, an LTC does not hire very many RNs. This is how an RN has a pt load of 20-30, and the entire shift is going up and down the hall and then back just to get passes/tx done, and...

    Interview @ MD office

    netglow replied to pistolchick's topic in General Nursing

    Office is much about fitting in. When you get there watch the front desk, try to get a vibe. Take it all in. You can tell a lot by how they all look, and interact with each

    Giving residents non-prescribed meds?

    netglow replied to prinsessa's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ooh, bad, bad. If the reason is to snow them especially. I have heard scuttlebutt that nurses in LTCs that do not have prompt med delivery will borrow identical prescribed pain meds so the resident...

    Float pool for new grad?

    netglow replied to jlthompson's topic in General Nursing

    Well, depends on what you NEED to do. If you can't pay your bills, you gotta do what you gotta do. If you have had no other offers and it's been many months since licensure, all the rules change. I...

    New RN grad - thinking about calling nurse recruiter, but what should I say?

    netglow replied to Irock's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say give it a shot if you are so inclined. But dependent on the "personality" of the facility you are calling, you may never get a return call. It's a buyer's market and most just don't care for...

    Is it really worth it to get your bachelor in today's economy?

    netglow replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Students

    You are young, then go for it. I'm an ADN, my second degree. I look at it differently. Unless I have some sort of financial incentive I won't pursue anything further in nursing. I'd have to have some...

    netglow replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    You are too funny! I usually have found friends who are like "spirits" all those on my list (I think) are such in one way or another. Maybe they are people who you have copied and kept posts of...

    Hospital Closing??

    netglow replied to inteRN's topic in Emergency

    Wouldn't hurt to start getting feelers out for a new job just in case. Also search the internet with a fine tooth comb. Search the hospital itself, it's corporation too. You are right that nobody will...

    Is this common? (jobs)

    netglow replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I think I had one of those on Thursday early afternoon. I found I had missed a call about 13:15. There was no voice message just a pause, and then the sound of a land line with a cord slowly...

    Am I admirably persistent or just delusional?

    netglow replied to SillyInScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    FACT: Nurse Managers and Nurse Recruiters are notorious for being obtuse when it comes to potential employment discussions. There are many, many, many internals that will want the same job you are...

    netglow replied to regrebs's topic in General Nursing

    OP, here is something to consider too. You might not be offered an opportunity to work in a hospital. Although some of your friends were lucky to get a chance, you may not. The job market is very...
