    I had eight jobs last year, I'm tired of job hopping. Advice for this year?

    netglow replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Love, I believe that you are an anomaly. Anomaly-types go their own way and somehow it works out. I remember when you said something similar to that you thought that getting a job offer was easy,...

    Is this new nurse culture shock or is this plain out blasphemy?

    Heard from a friend of mine today. She is a NG with now nearly a year if she can hold out at her hospital. She says that the experienced nurses they've recently hired have all left. I've received a...

    What do I do with a nasty nurse?

    I agree imintrouble, but the OP described this nurse as being nasty - not simply being without the love of

    Preparing food on the nursing unit

    netglow replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    When in hospice, one site actually had a small ice cream parlor that opened daily mid afternoon. Set up with the freezer glass case for the ice cream and room for wheel chairs to come in. It really...

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

    I wouldn't be so harsh on the OP unless you are in her exact situation currently. You would be surprised at how EVERYONE truly believes that there is a nursing shortage, and that honestly, nobody...

    Can they demand a 4 week notice and pay me minimum wage? Abandonment?

    netglow replied to Marie.rn's topic in General Nursing

    What a absolute horrible place. I am sure that they have employees just leave daily as Mazy has said. They obviously have a low opinion of nurses and, of the patients under their care. I am sure there...

    Just wanna say, OP, you might want to change your photo, if it is of you, to be less identifiable. This forum is viewed by absolutely everyone, even your classmates and instructors (don't believe them...

    Pay discrepancies? Security makes more then ER tech?

    netglow replied to mamaxmaria's topic in General Nursing

    Yes Op, sadly, here's how it goes. If your boss thinks you'll buy into it, he/she will give you the idea that you are the only one who can clean the toilet and even go so far as give you a certificate...

    In a few years all RNs will be required to have a BSN?

    netglow replied to FutureNurse2B's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree about thinking seriously what nursing is. Think about what casper 1 said. You got to be realistic and not dream that nursing is more than it is. If I were a person who was thinking of getting...

    PA to RN? (I do know the difference all too well)

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

    Op, you might think in this way: As a PA you will be forever tied to your Doc via the 'ol ball and chain. As a nurse you are not tied to them. Sure they write the orders, but then, mostly they are not...

    netglow replied to trulyblessed2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to look at A&P as the foundation for the rest of your career. You will find that when you start working, it's your A&P (if you studied like it's all you have to go on) that you will...

    What do I do with a nasty nurse?

    netglow replied to DixieRedHead's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yup, write her up and let her know that she has no time left to think about her attitude towards these new nurses. She's got one foot out the door already. In this economy, or in any economy, there...

    netglow replied to cyb3rRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Look for another job. Don't tell anyone that you are looking, all that tends to do is make people angry. I think that especially these days people know that more than not, openings for new nurses are...

    I have completed pre-med, BS in CS/Statistics, and MBA. What should I do now?

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

    OP, lets cut to the chase. You will need to slog it out in medicine hands-on, I mean in person. There is no way to avoid this aspect -- and it is going to take some time to achieve. Are you up to...

    You are giving that tech too much importance. You are the boss. You get to say yes or no. Keep it simple, and say it with the authority that comes from your position and the fact that those patients...

    Heat packs or hot water bottle?

    netglow replied to 100kids's topic in School

    Not a school nurse but these are good: Bed Buddy Back Wrap or sinus pack. The sinus pack is small so they can "hide it" under a shirt when in class. Bed Buddy Deep Soothing Sinus Pack with Strap...
