    New RN, should I renew my LPN license?

    netglow replied to kberrios's topic in General Nursing

    Somebody here has posted that they keep both active. This has worked for her when she wanted the other at times just to get a job. Her state allows it. I think if it were me, I'd check my BON, and if...

    Why RNs cannot say 'That's not my job'

    netglow replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in General Nursing

    But OCN, I am a second career/degreed nurse. I know that lots of valuable time is wasted on "floppy-hat" kind of stuff in nursing edu. Nursing needs to seriously do an overhaul. As a "girl" I was...

    Older New Grad RNs Job Discrimination

    netglow replied to kathliz's topic in General Nursing

    I know lots of people unable to either get their first RN job, or just change jobs. I cannot tell you how many I know of with even 2-5 years experience in acute care that cannot get out of absolute...

    My nursing program was terrible and I was too incompetent but I still graduated

    netglow replied to Matilda191's topic in Nursing Career

    I think that paying for more class time is a waste. Here is what you need to do. You need to set yourself up at home and practice. I did while I was in school. I had a makeshift dummy and everything....

    Will the job market for new RN grads in CA ever get better by 2015-2017?

    netglow replied to AllNursesisCool's topic in California Nursing

    You are very smart in rethinking healthcare. I believe options for nurses, especially new nurses will not improve. The country is literally flooded with nurses new and old. You can bet that those who...

    New Grad No Job- extremely depressed.

    netglow replied to michelle9655's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't move anywhere without a firm job in hand. It's really tough in IL for jobs. Yes, there are some, but from what I know those that get them have connections, like family or people they know in...

    Questions from a Microbiology instructor.

    Trouble with employment agencies

    netglow replied to bonkersrn's topic in General Nursing

    Be careful with those. Don't sign anything that looks like it's gonna tie you to them. I say this because some will demand that they get a cut from any company interested in you that they have a...

    netglow replied to ilovemicrobiology's topic in General Nursing

    I think all the young'ins have to remember that you will be going far from anyone you know. Don't count on an employer to be there for you if you can't find an affordable place to live. If you do...

    I'll gladly join this club. I've also noticed one from my class that went through school and all, landed a great job because they had connections, even though they got poor grades and had to retake...

    Start RN-BSN right away?

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

    I'd wait, but that's just me. I am a second career nurse and frankly I don't know if I'm feeling it's worth all the extra money to do that for what nursing has to offer these days. I was planning on...

    When your the patient, do you tell the nursing staff your a nurse?

    netglow replied to DemonWings's topic in General Nursing

    Took my Dad in because I suspected pneumo. He knew that I didn't want him to say anything either. Both my Dad and his MD pimped me out. My Dad says, "My daughter here is a nurse" (Look of evil from...

    How bad is it to not work a two week notice?

    netglow replied to Sensoria17's topic in General Nursing

    From what you say, your decision can only be made with the idea that you need to look forward. If it plays out like you say, then your allegiance is with your new employer. That is the only way you...

    netglow replied to PediNrs05's topic in General Nursing

    You may, once you have exhausted all, need to "lay it out for her" the way I eventually do. You will have to be a bit rough and to the point. "Look, you and I need to have a talk, NOW" -- she knows...

    You might need to give doc/pharm a call due to timing issues, eg if for ex something to be given for x amount of time/days. If the lateness of the dosing messes things so that the patient does not...
