    what career is the hardest to work in?

    netglow replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    I have an extended family member who is a teacher and a niece who is in school to be one. Too bad for the one in college now as she will not likely gain employment as a teacher - eg there is no...

    netglow replied to IcySageNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Just gotta love all of us for posting 112 comments about poop and nursing! Woot! We can poop it out, can't

    DNP seems like a waste...

    netglow replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    There is that valid argument that the DNP is just a lame attempt to somehow justify nurses as being smart enough to get a doctorate degree. But alas, nobody gives a rat's behind about that even after...

    New Grad Interview was strange...advice please.

    netglow replied to shaggy77's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What MJB2010 said! Bait and switch is common in nursing today. Don't be a chump. All you can do is remain obtuse as well until someone is willing to be honest with you. You might contact the recruiter...

    RN-BSN and not working?

    netglow replied to k1p1ssk's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This is 100 percent correct. Remember, about half of all newly licensed nurses will not find a job as a nurse - that includes ADN/BSN/MSN (everybody). So be very careful in considering any additional...

    Medical history form for nursing school

    netglow replied to med43's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When you have met many, many, many people in life, and actually understand what's behind the release of personal information, you will probably change your admonishment to the OP. Remember that...

    Medical history form for nursing school

    netglow replied to med43's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Classic. They are looking for physical impairment or something that could be passed to your patients mostly. If you were currently being managed for something psych that "is part of you"...

    Nursing in the Legal Field

    netglow replied to ERRN92's topic in Legal

    There is a nurse I know that insists a new grad with no nursing experience can work as a LNC. Could this be at all true? Would she be referring to more of what the OP is posting? I have not read...

    Can't get accurate radial pulse

    netglow replied to Pepperony's topic in General Nursing

    Try a different wrist hold. Think of a guitar neck and grab the wrist by cupping the palm of your hand around the top side of their wrist. Wrap your fingers around what would be the side round to just...

    getting out of bed side

    netglow replied to goalienrse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    All those options - case management, MDS for example do usually require certification and experience in that field, in my area. I have never seen any CM job (hospital or SNF) that asks for less than 2...

    How do Hospitals save money changing 12 hr shifts into 8 hrs?

    netglow replied to Adenosine6's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of wrangling in trying to figure out how to drop people from receiving healthcare coverage.... look for that number to drop under 30.... they won't tell you up front. I see a huge effort to "use"...

    Has Nursing Made You a Homebody?

    netglow replied to nicurn84's topic in Health, Stress Management

    LOL, have you all ever told a family member not to talk up the new neighbors too much or offer to lend them stuff because you are thinking, "Oh, God now they'll want to talk to ME all the time,...

    netglow replied to flyingchange's topic in Patient Medications

    flying, if you can't get him to return your call, do you know where he works? If it's right in town, ambush him. That way you might end all this stress - it's not fair for you to have to keep...

    Unemployed & inexperienced New RNs. Vent it out!

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

    klarity, No you are not over-reacting. But lesson learned. NEVER SPEND MONEY in anticipation of a nursing job. You are one of many who got scammed in this way. I know people who were promised during...

    Unemployed & inexperienced New RNs. Vent it out!

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

    To roro13sf, Take your nursing info OFF of your resume. Only list it under your education in one line. You have admin experience, so cater your cover letter to that job only. If you get an interview...

    Experienced preceptors

    netglow replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I think the preceptor is at her wits end. Maybe you will lose her too. She may have said yes to precepting because she felt she had to in order to stay in good light with her NM, and, maybe she has a...

    Advocate System?

    netglow replied to RB_RN_MSN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    They are funny, Advocate I mean. They want to make themselves appear to be just like that popular nightclub downtown with a line around the building waiting to get in. Once you get in, you find it's...

    Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    netglow replied to dance4life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Actually the BSN degree, and Magnet have been described as rather dubious as of late, in prominent medical blogs.... and I totally agree, at how laughable nursing has become. Where have all the...
