Rats, just blew away my post. Here goes again... Some docs are friendly, some are not. Some want a handmaiden, some want you to continue your edu and become a partner in crime. It can swing either...

Read MrChicagoRN's post carefully. If you just are trying to get a different job, do not tell anyone that you are even looking. Nobody. If your application for the new place asks if they can contact...
Yeah your right it can be a hard deal. A friend of mine said it almost wasn't worth it. She simply could not make enough as a nurse since she could not fill her other hours to pay the bills due to the...
You have to ask another PT nurse. Sometimes its really nutty. This I hear from nurses who do PT but wanted FT. They cannot ever get a solid idea of schedule. They sometimes work almost doubles one...
Ohhhh. so. I knew I was on some kinda GPS. I think as well on my smartphone or my car. As soon as I would pull out of a parking lot, my phone would ring... another admit, and another, and another. I...
Now is a great time for you to edu a bit about the dying process. There is good info out there, and now you've got some questions you want answered in your head. The family is reacting normally. They...
Here is the thing tho. I have my previous career hx way back. Some agencies (ad) I worked for have been bought out several times and no existing personnel from the days I was there. I tracked down the...

Flat truth. Too many nurses, too few jobs. For all the grads that become licensed, there simply are not enough jobs to go around. This, will not improve even if suddenly all the nurses who came out...
I think the frustration has to do with the "dumbing down" of information delivery to nursing staff. Admin feels the need to have to make it ridiculous in order for it to be understood. You can...
OP, nursing is a big game. You have to play it. So as other posters have said, you gotta find out from people in the program and from staff what the heck is it they are looking for. Most times you...
I don't have a problem with the OP's post at all. I felt the same and many times still do about many nurses. I got into my program on the first try, however. I can totally understand how nurses could...

Me too. This is why I did not purchase an iphone years back. I bought an itouch. I used it in college and still use it now. I have so many very useful apps on it. All you need to do is show your NM...
Yes, there are literally tons of resources. No need to waste your money. I would not really put all your trust in your college for career advice, LOL!!! If it's free let them review it, I
OK, if it was EPIC I have a "brain" for ICU I'd give ya. It's still got it's training wheels with the intent on forcing prep for a newbie to "look good" in interdisciplinary report. I've given it two...

No, it's that some MS1s still don't realize that this deal is more than just a game. They like to try on the big boy/big girl labcoat but it just doesn't fit yet, and everybody instantly notices...
