    Advocate System?

    netglow replied to RB_RN_MSN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    No it doesn't. It just means you have passed the test, and should not have to take it again. If you were offered the test it means that you might have applied fast enough to be globally "considered"...

    Experienced RN With No Luck Finding Position

    netglow replied to olivia28's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Commuter's thread story about the medicare cuts at SNF's in Nursing News is gonna only make it harder for those nurses, and also harder for new nurses' employment options. Dentistry anyone? (not...

    Please give me advice on your experiences with this

    netglow replied to roma4204's topic in General Nursing

    I know that a few here have, forget who they were. Maybe they will find your thread. Anything, and everything corporate-think is the same. You are not one they deem needs to know unless convenient to...

    NURSES! Anyone know the insulin type 1 diabetes medications, by heart?

    netglow replied to RPNgee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just look them up in what ever you use as a drug guide and make your own cheat sheet. Most nursing edu books have an outline, just look it up

    Probably gonna get fired my first week...

    netglow replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Angel, I believe that some people give urgent a try on things they know they cannot get from their PCP. They don't think of you (urgent care) as having REAL Docs and nurses -- so, you are supposed to...

    Unit manager as first job?

    netglow replied to vm156's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Careful, remember they KNOW it's your license -- not theirs. If something happens (it will) they will point all fallout right at you and state that they are not medical professionals. They hired you...

    Magnet Designation

    netglow replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    But you see, they don't want your input. It's just a money making marketing ploy, you see. Somebody got the idea on how to make a buck. They got a few hospitals who were VERY interested in ANY way...

    Oh boy. Let go from job... not sure if this is it. :(

    netglow replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Right about here. This is where the weird judging always starts. I place a hex on all you judging goody-goodies. May you all be told by your managers that you are no good and be let go ASAP. Brian,...

    What is my legal and Ethical Obligation?

    netglow replied to tripletsgranny1's topic in General Nursing

    You just don't know who talked to who. The nurse could have already talked her s/s over with a doc pal, eg something like sinus infection, etc. and the doc might have said sure, go ahead and get xxx....

    Clinicals, and Job Offers

    netglow replied to sj73201's topic in General Nursing

    I figure it's that so many favors to be returned, so few new grad positions. It's all who you know here, it's the mafia. Oh, and i should say that several schools had clinicals at these hospitals. So,...

    Ever accepted a position knowing it was a mistake?

    netglow replied to Gratefulprn's topic in General Nursing

    Those sure are funny... "Let me run to Starbucks and get everybody in the hospital Frapuccinos, I'll be back as soon as I can." Darn, I wish I HAD actually done something like that, though. Places...

    Clinicals, and Job Offers

    netglow replied to sj73201's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't hurt to try. In my area hospitals this does not happen. It may have used to years and years ago, but the hospitals don't follow through now. Two clinical rotation hospitals told the...

    Will there ever be a surplus of nursing jobs again?!

    netglow replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    I really did not feel that nursing education was "difficult". I graduated with highest honors. I also have another degree. I really don't believe that "they" just graduate anyone, nursing edu is just...

    New and not so new nurses..

    netglow replied to UpinawayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that there is almost nothing that angers me more than someone doing what you describe, Up. If I were to ever beat someone down in the parking lot, this would be a reason for it. So, hey...

    Ever accepted a position knowing it was a mistake?

    netglow replied to Gratefulprn's topic in General Nursing

    I did. I had suspicions but, there was nothing else and I wondered if I was being paranoid. I was still a "nursing innocent" and I thought that "they, (some ruling body) would never allow such...

    Will there ever be a surplus of nursing jobs again?!

    netglow replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know if I am just making this up, but I am remembering when applying for my license, the application asked if I had defaulted on ANY educational loans, child support payments, etc. These, I...

    Debriefing Group??? Help with start-up

    netglow replied to mrsbrightside's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    You know what, sometimes I might want to talk about things, but not in an organized group fashion ...more like only when the mood hits me. Would be great if you had some awesome person (s) a Major...

    How common is it to get fired?

    netglow replied to TurtleCat's topic in General Nursing

    True, but railroading is really common in nursing. It's the culture of nursing lacking professionalism that is the

    netglow replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    It has been how MDs are trained and how RNs are trained. In hospitals, since formal education in medicine

    netglow replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    You know OP, family can be lame. But really if you used to do something else, look into that as well. Nursing is not worth taking so much crap for. If you step back and look at the profession and the...

    Will there ever be a surplus of nursing jobs again?!

    netglow replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    No there will never be. With all the cutbacks in healthcare (even higher ratios and layoffs to come), as well as the thousands of unemployed nurses in-country and the secure philippine pipeline, I'd...
