    "You take the BUS to work!"

    Not sure what to do. Licensed RN working as tech.

    netglow replied to Spikey9001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Spikey, read this link. Give the 2 week notice to leave unscathed, because finding a nursing job most likely will be difficult ....

    Not sure what to do. Licensed RN working as tech.

    netglow replied to Spikey9001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am surprised they allow you to continue to tech after your RN. Look I know countless techs who thought they'd get to be an RN at the hospital they worked. I only know 3 who it happened for. My...

    Is it worth taking a pay cut for experience?

    netglow replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Nursing Career

    It might be easier if you think of it this way, and kind of limit the variables. "Probably" this connection is pulling strings, so you won't know who knows how you got the interview -- if they were...

    New LPN grad, and new job! Not sure what to think of it

    netglow replied to wasntbuilt2lose's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't worry about bedside nursing. If you find you make decent money and enjoy your job - you've

    Is it worth taking a pay cut for experience?

    netglow replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Nursing Career

    That sounds tough Catch22. Hmmmm. Are you sure you are going to grad school, and have you already started? And what do you want to be? I guess that might have to have ultimate play in things. But,...

    Good idea to keep job in hospital while in RN school?

    netglow replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Nursing

    Soxgirl2008, have you started school

    Is it conceivable ?

    netglow replied to 1RedHotOma's topic in General Nursing

    Anybody at any age can go back to school. Actually chances are now that you are over 20 you will do very well, as you are now a mature adult (yippee!) Be careful though. If you are doing this because...

    Good idea to keep job in hospital while in RN school?

    netglow replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Nursing

    So then, here is what you need to do. Find out from the techs you meet at clinical if the hospital highly considers techs for RN jobs. In the olden days this was automatic. But as you see, it really...

    Good idea to keep job in hospital while in RN school?

    netglow replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Nursing

    The people with experience in my class had the toughest time finding jobs. But, if you can manage to pick up a job, do it. Once you have your RN license and are no longer considered just a student,...

    My anger

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

    Yes it do suck! Actually I remember that in my class the ones with years experience had the toughest time, and these were not picky people. One had been a paramedic for years and couldn't get an...

    Internal transfers- your thoughts?

    netglow replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if there couldn't be a paper trail as sckimrn seems to have made. Somehow talk to HR by email and mention that you have no negative aspects in your employment record (could she validate that...

    Internal transfers- your thoughts?

    netglow replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot tell you how many times I've heard of NMs bullying a nurse who wants to transfer. I know of many nurses who have found out that their current NM has either stopped the transfer, because the...

    To the nurses: nursing student needs help with assessment

    netglow replied to chariot's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As you walk in, engage the patient in conversation. This way you can assess what I call the intangibles (What do you sense when you talk to them?). You can tell how they feel in the way they respond...

    Accept per diem job?

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

    kcmylorn, I remember an office that posted a part time ad for 2 days a week, but turned out that once I got there and asked questions it was more like they also wanted the entire rest of the week on...

    Did i really do anything wrong?

    netglow replied to lizzyreg's topic in General Nursing

    That's just it. I don't think anybody would consult you on these things at your workplace. I sure wouldn't - and I'd laugh at you for it. Simple fact Brandon, is, that you don't sign paychecks. Until...

    uh...CPR question

    netglow replied to ISRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yup and dead people don't breathe. Justbeachy, I had a similar experience last summer when I re-upped at a refresher held at a hospital near me where 6 of that hospital's own RNs (one PACU, one...

    uh...CPR question

    netglow replied to ISRN's topic in General Nursing

    So you know the next question is always ... "There is no pulse, I am sure of that, but I can't tell if they are breathing, what should I do???"

    Not doing what I was hired for

    netglow replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Geez peeps it's not so hard. And no PM you don't get to decide. Resus hurts. It hurts if if you were a hospice patient or if you weren't. Either way you were about to die, so? If that is what the...

    Can I vent? Just a little... you can vent too if you want, I won't tell...

    netglow replied to GonnaAmazeYou's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I was trolling the want ads as usual. There is this very large card practice that every month or two puts up a new ad for RNs (can you say revolving door ) Well, anyway, I see the same ad...

    Did I deserve this?

    netglow replied to jaelpn's topic in General Nursing

    Just a sort of related FYI: There are companies that hire nurses, train them in all things worker's comp to place in hospitals as well as other corporations as the "facility nurse" for employees to go...

    Not doing what I was hired for

    netglow replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Well, hospice can often be more of a scam than a job. It's a big jump from working in hospital ICU and then doing hospice (home based I'm guessing?) Hospice/home health is 99% documentation Lots of...

    We have a long way to go as health care providers

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

    Sorry to hear all of this. Did you need to disclose your health info on your application for your certification? How did they find out? This is all confusing to me and unfair. Here you've been allowed...

    I've decided to go into nursing at 32. Is this a good choice?

    netglow replied to violetrays's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't recommend anyone begin nursing school at this time. Not that your age has anything to do with it. It's the economy and the fact that you need to work, really need to work. So, having just said...
