    New Grad Positions in Chicago

    netglow replied to mlyRN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Each facility runs it's own timetable. All you can do is keep applying. NG jobs are very difficult to get as programs have been drastically cut. But, it's a bit better than it was a year and a half...

    Can EMTs work as tech's in your hospital?

    netglow replied to LHM1436's topic in General Nursing

    In the end, like all healthcare it's just crazy confused and ineffective for everybody involved. All you can do is find out for each and every facility what they require for you to get a job there -...

    Good News or Bad News?!?!?!?!?!

    netglow replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in General Nursing

    I'd try no matter what to get to her. Sounds like she needs some info from you, or you got the job and they need you to work ASAP. Sometimes they must have reference from your previous employer. Some...

    Does your facility hire new grads into L & D?

    netglow replied to javawren_23's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thing is with that, nurses don't get to make those decisions anymore. The facility has most control over that. It's about money usually. Last year there were some facilities in my area hiring NGs for...

    Can EMTs work as tech's in your hospital?

    netglow replied to LHM1436's topic in General Nursing

    That is pretty much true in my area as well. Only CNAs on the floors. I did know a paramedic who worked as an ER tech while in RN school. He was not allowed on the floors, and of course he was annoyed...

    netglow replied to diosa78's topic in General Nursing

    netglow replied to artistnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This. I interviewed somewhere a while ago. The nurse in charge of the place was the poster chilld for this. She even would stoop somewhat when she spoke with one of the MDs, almost repeatedly bowing...

    Med error or not

    netglow replied to surgicalcap's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a place that is cheaping out by getting everybody they can who is not really qualified to do part of the job of an RN. Also, would help them to be EMR. Even though there are times you...

    NEW GRAD, somebody's gotta give me chance!!!!!!!!!!!

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

    No, don't let yourself be carried away. Only get your BSN if you want a BSN, there is no requirement for all nurses to get a BSN . The only requirement is that you know someone in order to get hired....

    Questions from a recent grad

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

    Buy the insurance. Your corporation will advise you not to because they think you are not intelligent enough to make your own decisions. Sorry, but that's the way they roll. Like to keep you barefoot...

    Rewarded for med error?

    netglow replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    They advise you to "let them take care of it" instead of you protecting yourself. Not good. By the time you even know what is going on in the course of an investigation you are already under the bus....

    Major decision, need help

    netglow replied to cinthern's topic in Emergency

    Hmmm, never worked either. But, what is making you want to possibly go to the ER? Is it curiosity? You say you love your job. Do you like your management/coworkers? If so, I would probably say, to...

    critical algorithms

    netglow replied to LMT2BSN's topic in General Students

    Those can be found in any ACLS book. Actually they are sequencing of interventions based on assessments - not math. Your asessment/data found will cause you to then take one path over another,

    netglow replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes a person will still strongly identify with teens up to about the mid 20's or so (not feeling comfortable or identifying with adults yet). Then, they slowly move on to focusing on adulthood...
