    Oral Surgeons doing surgery and providing anesthesia

    I agree. It's scary. If you talk to some of these guys, they'll say how they've fully trained their assistants. Remember most (not all) dental assistants have been trained on the job and those that are "certified" have not gone through any really in...

    Should I be upset?

    This is premeditated. They know who they will hire and never had intention of considering you. All they need you for, is to have proof of consideration/correspondence with you on record to show they have "considered" a range of applicants for a posit...

    Considering 2nd degree BSN - Seeking advice

    "I've read way too many bad things about going into law to still consider that route" Same for nursing since second half of '07 pretty much - sorry to say. Also, many changers seem to be trying for CRNA. Too many - it's like a hot stock - when you de...

    Off the books job experience issue

    Everything and everybody is weird these days. Actually lots of professions have unpaid internships. Of course if it's a state job, chances are high the person looking at your application will have had no education at all and probably won't google "i...

    Off the books job experience issue

    All you will need is his name, title, the "name of company" you two worked for (if he was just an independent surgeon, the company name would be just his name, and you would say "owner/surgeon" for title), as well as his phone number as they will nee...

    Dr Oz's show on antidepressants...your thoughts?

    Absolutely not one other person (that is, who isn't making $$$ on it) pays attention to that sell-out.

    No rapid response for a DNR?

    Explain it to that MD in the way of an example: If a that patient was DNR but just fell and now has say, a LE compound fracture, and he refused to treat the patient simply because the patient was DNR, he would lose his license among other things, of...

    What does 90 probation really mean?

    Are your health benefits active? Lots of times the 90 days delays them so that you don't "use" your employer's insurance for that open heart you were needing in your first 90 days.

    Let RN license lapse to get out of "Old" new grad rut?

    "If your willing to do that, you really don't love nursing, you just want a job in it."-ovrit OH. THE. DRAMA. "Go back to school" -serenitylove14 DUDE IS A MULTIPLE DEGREE HOLDER - MORE SCHOOL IS JUST SILLY.
  13. OP, you are in control here. Nothing says you ever have to take the NCLEX. You can wait a bit too. Call around and see. Ask people to tell you "for real" ask if a NG has a shot at those positions. If your state is not putting money into mental health...

    Let RN license lapse to get out of "Old" new grad rut?

    I know people who did something similar to this. I graduated at the downward slide to the low lows of the economy. I met people who graduated but purposely did not take their NCLEX for over a year ...have not kept in touch, but they did it so that th...

    Foreign NCLEX application in IL...help :(

    You need to post what hospital that was so people can apply to those jobs. I think a lot of people would appreciate it!! You confuse me because your first post said you couldn't find a job?! "I'm curious to know if any other foreign trained nurses ar...

    So why even bother with getting an RN?

    Another question. Why on earth would any primary office want an NP? Too costly I'd think for not quite enough bang for your buck - a job (especially primary triage) that an RN could do and has for decades. Hmmm.

    Foreign NCLEX application in IL...help :(

    Skylark, its that Illinois doesn't need more nurses. Over 6000 new nurses are licensed just in Illinois yearly. There are many, many colleges with nursing programs in Illinois as well as many many experienced nurses living in Illinois... http://nursi...

    So why even bother with getting an RN?

    I've looked around and in some states an "assistant" can bark like a dog if asked by an MD as long as the MD takes all complaints for the barking. This is vary dangerous because EVERYBODY KNOWS that doctors are in their own worlds pretty much and are...

    who has taken a pay cut, willingly

    Nursing is one of the few professions where the phrase "life's a ***** and then you die" can seem apt. I think, once you realize this, you know you have to make a drastic change to stop the "die" part that is coming whether it be your emotional or ph...

    what disorder would this be?

    It's the suicidal ideations that tipped it and made me suggest schizophrenia as something to consider. At 4? An age where there may be no discussion as to how/who came up with the idea of killing - voices? who? No way to put it into words and explain...

    Feedback requested before I give 2 weeks notice!

    I see no good in talking at all. It's no accident or innocent action these "ghost breaks". Administration isn't going to listen to you and say, "Oh, we are so sorry, we didn't have any idea how hard you all work!! We'll reduce your workload so you ca...
