    Will the nursing shortage ever end?

    netglow replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    There isn't a demand now, wasn't one yesterday or really for 2, almost 3 years - actually never really a "demand". It's just hype to get you to drop some big cash at a college near you. There have...

    To all Recruiters

    netglow replied to lifein08's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Ha, I would be surprised if any commented. They might tho. But seriously, facility recruiters really just call in those who have been put in front of them by nursing folks, or other folks with clout...

    I'm considering putting my resume online ... bad idea?

    netglow replied to crazyscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, what Hiddencat says. Go to hotmail or some place and get an email adress first, then sign up for your monsters and careerbuilders etc. Put your resume up, but delete all address/phone, etc....

    Nursing as a first degree

    netglow replied to puppies1123's topic in General Nursing

    Puppies, you are smart to consider this. I would not do nursing first in this economy (which I think really might last for several more years, and then you have all the healthcare cutbacks). Just...

    Why is there so much turnover in home health? Esp. mgmt

    netglow replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I would also add to my post that, "hospital backing" cannot be assumed because they list that hospital on their website. It's sometimes is simply that - just a listing. They can say they've...

    Experience question...

    netglow replied to WittySarcasm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ah but don't bet the farm on this. They will tell you this often in order not to tell you that your chances are not that good right now because you would be seen as a new grad even if you worked for a...

    Why is there so much turnover in home health? Esp. mgmt

    netglow replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be careful though. Lots of private ownership HH and Hospice popping up. They have beautiful websites, remember anyone can get a beautiful website - just hire a design/marketing firm to design it...

    Could use some advice or a listening ear...new RN, newly abusive husband

    netglow replied to seekinganonymity's topic in General Nursing

    I get ya xt. I would hope that the OP has left the residence. He would be unwelcome anywhere she decides to live. My bats aren't to threaten, they are to use. If I were to have to pick one up it would...

    netglow replied to seekinganonymity's topic in General Nursing

    I like the "to do" list Korky suggested but reorder that: -Mace, always on you for easy use, and at the doors. -I have always had two aluminum baseball bats and I don't play baseball. -Buy a panic...

    netglow replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't seen that as much as posts about those trying to swing a few PT jobs, usually one needs to be dumped due to fear of losing license, etc., then attempting to find another to take it's

    Question on hiring status

    netglow replied to MollNick's topic in General Nursing

    Print that puppy out and put it in a safe place. Also, ask for a letter. Sometimes they say they will be a reference for you and then, are not. This just happened to a friend of mine. People do lie,...

    Cardiac Enzymes? In a nut shell-highs/lows-what it all means?

    netglow replied to angell883RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just go to your college material and look it up again and write your own cheat sheet. Labs are labs. There are also some good online resources for explanation purposes. Just gotta do a little looking...

    New Grad Orientations vs. Regular Orientations?

    netglow replied to Lub-Dub's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd just concentrate on getting an offer. No matter what it is. Check out the facility to make sure especially if HH or hospice if you can because some are shady. But if the facility sounds clean just...

    My lament....my turn

    netglow replied to Scrubmouse RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Scrubmouse, I think your fluent Spanish language skills really were key for landing that job. They do need people who really know the lingo for endo. In Northern IL lots of hispanics and very few...

    Employment Gap

    netglow replied to male_nurse22's topic in General Nursing

    I would not really put too much time into worrying. The economy is in a bad way, seriously bad. In my state the unemployment rate went up to 9.2% recently and one of the 3 major sectors experiencing...

    Stupid mistake that I can't fix

    netglow replied to SneakySnake's topic in General Nursing

    OH YES! What an awesome mistake! If I'm gonna be heckled by MDs (which won't happen because they never read the notes) I'd want to go down just like that. Sneaky, you got to just laugh at these...

    Can a ASN/RN student take the CNA exam without taking the courses?

    netglow replied to adpeanut25's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Your best bet would be to talk to your program - instructor/director on what you are able to do with your current level of edu. Since states vary, and so do people's memory on what's the current deal...

    Because there is no nursing shortage. There are thousands of nurses who cannot find employment in Illinois, and across the country. Mostly new nurses but experienced ones as
