    Nursing student with a husband that travels

    netglow replied to kjj007's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes there are 8 hour shift hospital jobs. You might have looked into all of this prior to going to nursing school, however. Yes there are PRN jobs. But, and a big BUT, most prn jobs assume you can...

    NO, NO, NO!!

    netglow replied to PintheD's topic in General Nursing

    yadi87, You've got the OP (and the rest of us) entirely wrong. If you decide to edu to become a nurse you will learn why. The OP is angry that her attempt to inform/educate the patient was met by...

    Why did you choose to become a nurse?

    netglow replied to shadet541's topic in General Nursing

    That question.... especially in an interview situation it is so annoying. I just want to roll my eyes and say, "I want to take care of the world!" or some kind of pageant-type answer.

    Problem with another nurse

    Ruby, I think you don't understand that there are few nurses left who actually try to teach/mentor. You just might be the only one

    Problem with another nurse

    netglow replied to brokenroads27's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If she interrupts you, just stop. Say nothing till she's finished. Then just finish report right from where you left off. If you have to put your finger on your sheet at the point she interrupts....

    NO, NO, NO!!

    netglow replied to PintheD's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah!!!! I think we should have NO liability either, hey, since we are forced to be MAs why should we have to take ANY responsibility for ANY OF IT. Works for me

    netglow replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    You will never be given "a chance" this isn't like pee wee soccer where everybody who shows up gets a pretty ribbon. Those days are forever over. Look around, open your eyes. You are entering the...

    netglow replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Again, OP, passing a class does not at all mean you have "the right stuff" to be recommended for a position. It just means you passed a

    netglow replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Op, what you are missing is this: Being able to pass a college course does not a professional in the working world make. I have given and have received many references. I know that I only give a...

    Useless degree! At what point do you quit trying?

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

    Yes, yes, but what I am getting at is that, nursing has permanently changed. No longer is it a profession with countless options. You cannot just plan on getting what you want if you just keep...

    Useless degree! At what point do you quit trying?

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

    Well sure some places will let a new grad do just about anything, and we do see the fall out here on allnurses. I guess, I am talking about legit companies, as a Chicago girl understands what's legit...

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

    Never heard of dialysis, private duty, or public health for that matter hiring new grads. In my area, dialysis requires 2+ years medsurg or preferably ICU experience. Public health would like ER...

    New Nurse, when to send a patient out.

    netglow replied to beatrice1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ridiculous response from the MD. Hate it when they just say "do what you want, then" --just like a little kid. PMO. Your supervisor sounds like a doormat. Just by her response she doesn't sound like...

    hypertensive emergency?

    netglow replied to conscientiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    One thing to learn is that by reading all the posts here on AN, there are probably many situational (at first) hypertensives on this board. Nursing can do that to you. If you were to take yours during...

    concise Lab values

    netglow replied to maia718's topic in General Nursing

    You can get apps that have those levels listed. I think some are really inexpensive. I have Davis Drug Guide and it has a lab values appendix. Good to have in my pocket. But, If you are looking at...

    netglow replied to jedichampion's topic in Nursing Career

    I suggest you dig around allnurses a bit. Lots of discussion in the past on this. I will tell you that ADN to BSN seems to be for most not a difficult or enlightening thing at all. Nothing new...
