    Orientation and Job NOT what was promised, want to quit!

    netglow replied to lpn2rn81's topic in General Nursing

    OP, just quit. Write a letter, short and sweet. Make sure you quit when you are not scheduled to work, eg. don't walk in 15 minutes before your shift and quit! What is so unfortunate Op, is that you...

    Fired....What now?

    netglow replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in General Nursing

    Curious. If you resigned from your position as a new grad, those who have posted that after say, a month they gave two weeks notice and left basically in fear of losing their licenses, should they...

    What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

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

    And I'll add that SummitAP, has answered my post as I had expected. Sorry about that, yes, it was a little bit of a "set-up" but I thought a little perspective was needed. My post was to basically...

    netglow replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    Little_Mouse (how cute are you!) Remember keyboards. Do you have them in each room to chart? Or do you have to hunt a cow down or go to the nurses station? If you got your own during your shift,...

    netglow replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    Tip: sometimes those are not pimples exactly but some kind of vescicle or some allergic/exposure thingy half the time. When you are home and ready for bed, try some St. Ives mineral clay-type mask. I...

    How do you answer a salary question in an interview?

    netglow replied to Nurse Chef's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah seriously, it's a tech job. There is no negotiation. They know what the company will pay, and that is all. Kind of stupid they would ask you. HR are funny little people. Usually have no idea...

    originally endorsed RN from Canada now with MSN from US

    netglow replied to stymied's topic in General Nursing

    I think, that you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy the NCLEX is in some ways today. It is by no means the test you had heard tell so many years ago, at least IMHO. It does not deal in any real...

    netglow replied to Nurse Chef's topic in General Nursing

    No no, don't use that site it could be way the heck off for your particular facility. See if you can pop the question in your state's specific forum for that facility even as long as it's a big place....

    Take a look at this link for US House Bill 1929. This one is happening very soon. This is why the "nursing shortage" is perpetuated. Lots of corporate back-up for this one. Now, who wants to spend...

    Sad cases

    netglow replied to AlisRN's topic in General Nursing
