    Is there a flu outbreak in your area?

    This year's Flu shot is completely ineffective for the B-strain of the Flu. Bad News. You got the shot? You're still in trouble. Why the Flu Is So Dangerous This Year, and Why It Could Get Worse -...
  3. I'll agree that some new grads are picky. But that is a small percentage. There are simply thousands of willing nurses out there. Opportunity is just hard to find. Illinois pumps out about 5000 new...

    Chicagoland, yup Flu is here! Some hospitals are on
  5. Yes nursing new grads are different than any other group of new grads. Here is why. A nursing degree does not qualify one for a job in any other profession. As a newly licensed RN you are almost never...
  6. Here is some information on Illinois actually projectile vomiting new nurses. Can you believe how many Illinois puts out? Never could be enough positions for new grads....
  7. Unfortunately it's sad that many of those since 2007 have long since stopped visiting this site and all else. Would be great Brian if you would post this on the main page as well as the Top of the...
  8. We must all be constantly reminded that there are many allnurses.com members who are nursing program directors as well as educators. It's reasonable to assume that many (not all) will post from the...
  9. Sweetie. Here's how marketing works. "Most our graduates have jobs" "There's a nursing shortage" See, it's not illegal to market with statements like these, they leave an out. I guess you are right...

    False accusations.

    True about the call, but probably in this case, not really gonna happen. Yes my outlook would be poor too after that situation. Come on tyvin, seriously. Can't this nurse come to this forum and just...

    False accusations.

    I'd sit down and write your own account long hand on paper with everything you saw and did and who was there etc. This will help you to de-stress - not having to hold it all in your memory, and it...

    Calm down, inhaaaaalllllleeeee, exhaaaallllllleeeeeee. Now re-read your account of what happened. Does it now seem like you should be

    I think I'm done with nursing.

    Oh, so that's what it's like to work as an RN in the ER. Oh. Hmmm. I dunno, I don't buy anything you've said. Just sounds like something a floor secretary who wants to be a tech would say for some...

    Well, it is what it is. Just a revelation.

    Hospice is most definitely not where the OP should go. You will absolutely have no life with the 24 hr oncalls, last minute admits, and driving time. OMG especially pregnant, as well as with
  17. It's just more stupidity. Another label of nonsense. I guess someone needs a label or they won't survive. As in everything, if you put in the time and effort into it, soon you will become proficient....

    Angry Nurse here!

    Bring stuff in again but this time with prune juice or something "similar" in the recipe (get where I'm going with this). Sometimes you need to do a little aversion

    I think I'm done with nursing.

    No, actually it's not. Not in nursing. And, I'm not trying to be disagreeable here. You will soon understand a few things grasshopper the more you read personal accounts on this forum and the further...

    blood transfusion

    Yes, and some students clearly do not pay attention in their pre-req science classes. These are the ones who can't figure out how to google either, LOL. This topic came right up in a google search....

    I think I'm done with nursing.

    I think that the "as long as it takes" mode responses must be from students. You guys need to start doing a little research on what's what in healthcare. Spend some time reading threads and educate...
  22. Critical thinking. I don't want to be a critical thinker, where has that ever got anybody? It's more like street smarts, nursing street

    Nope, not anymore. Got to have an excellent reason to keep them if the patient data for dx/LOS says times

    I think I'm done with nursing.

    Hey, I'm gonna say that your decision is the best one. Funny/strange how this profession really has no positives. It really doesn't, and you understand that having had a different career. Seems just...
  25. Sometimes it can be the intention to make things change so much that people will say they cannot follow the new job description, and that is how you reduce your workforce without firing anyone. Not...
