    You might PM LunahRN about this, but first, there is a sub-forum you should kick around in: Government / Military

    "Loosing" my license

    Here is a scenario where such fears are legitimate.
  3. I would not tell your manager what you've told us. I would make an appointment to see your doctor and see if he/she has any
  4. If that woman was AO, then I'd page for some meds. If I was physically attacked, guess what? That is psych/assault code. Don't wait, don't let them think they might hide what they've done. Restraint...

    Nursing is Not a Science

    I get your point OP. Nursing can be a very limiting when it comes to wanting to use those credits to do something else - other than nursing. This is why especially in this economy, it would be...

    The New Grad & Charting

    i think you are over-thinking. hard not to do. forget school, and think simply. you aren't going to write those nutty nursing notes as you did in school. you want to leave "things of note" on your...
  7. Illegal in every way. What if she told you she took a verbal order for narcs, for
  8. As far as massive job fairs go, you did not interview, you did a meet and greet chat. Nothing usually comes out of these (sorry) as they are just a marketing opportunity/community service for the...

    Obamacare, what could go wrong?

    there are plenty of mds. yes more people will go see a doc and get treatment. not millions (remember you have to pay for it). nobody gives a crap about trump. corporations aren't going to quit...
  10. been to one of those job fairs before. most likely the casual group were nursing students told to go for a learning module as they are allowed to go in with new grads. here is the scoop, for the most...

    Stuttering Stupid Nurse

    I agree. I'd look into therapy first, and a revisit to just what kind of medication might help you. probably will end up something other than anxiolytic... BTW, you work with fools and you do...

    Finally decided to quit nursing

    mclennan, i think i will quote you at the bottom of all my future posts. nursing is not the noble, altruistic, self-sacrificing job it used to be. sorry, charlie. florence nightingale is dead....

    Are there really enough jobs???

    This here needs to be perm posted right under the allnurses.com logo. Word. nursel56, the crusader of wisdom and truth - able to unmask total BS, and save us from
  14. I'd have to agree. Knowing the "culture" of healthcare, and especially nursing, add in the current economy and I'd say you might have just pulled a real princess move there, OP. I am telling you that...

    "If you don't pass the exam you're fired"

    Get this app: Instant ECG. It not only gives an explanation of each rhythm, but gives stats, and you can run a live moving electronic ECG strip video. There are also a few books out

    Are there really enough jobs???

    Just an FYI, almost all nurses who are unemployed right now share those goals you

    Are there really enough jobs???

    I was relieved that a relative of mine just switched majors out of nursing. She needs, as we all do to work once she graduates, and would not/should not need to put up with what nursing has become...
  18. This person, were they OK with Chem? If they were, then tell them to ignore all else and do the calcs using the same methods they used in

    Continuing education after ADN

    I would just finish your first goal for now. See if you can get a job as a nurse to begin with. This will be, if things remain as they are now, extremely difficult. Once you have a job, then, reassess...

    "No nurses of color....."

    People open their mouths a lot these days. More people used to just keep it to themselves in past decades. A lot of people are "racist" out there, and in some ways your facility might be as well. So,...
  21. Eh, well. Depends on who put him on service to begin with. I'd be willing to bet especially if it was one of the gazillion pop up hospice companies as of late, they just used his dx to put him on....

    Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    No, really???? to the "take offense" posters. I agree the bar has been set too

    It's baaaaack......

    Yeah. I actually went over to Huffpo and give them my two cents on it. EVERYONE needs to go and flood them with
  24. I used "Lack of clinical infrastructure" -- which was true. When I was asked to elaborate on what my day was like, since not many knew anything about hospice, I got bugged out eyes all around....
  25. Curiously, I am finding a recent trend in job postings requiring a minimum of 3 years RN nursing experience. This from LTC to Acute care. 6 months ago the trend was 1-2 years for most "minimum"...
