    Giving Report to Medics... What do they know?

    netglow replied to casi's topic in General Nursing

    I guess if it's out to LTC, SNF I would know that I would be calling ahead to the nurses at the target facility with the details. But when I look at someone who now has to take my patient out the door...

    Is it too little?

    netglow replied to lifein08's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Careful OP... just saying, did you apply through a staffing agency? Find out the client company name... I'd research them first. You will not have a problem finding information if it's one of the...

    Is it OK to call an interviewer to ask why you were not hired?

    netglow replied to amyn87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Go ahead and call. Hopefully you will talk to someone wise. If not, so what. They said no already. It might be that they remember you and give you an idea if the brass ring was ever in your reach....

    Difficult access: Would you go for EJ or pedal?

    netglow replied to Murse901's topic in Emergency

    I agree with you OP. And with Altra about some nurses looking foolish as possible to avoid utilizing an MD. That LOL is going to loose that site ASAP, and gonna get a EJ anyhoo. And, ABX in the foot...

    my problem with allnurses...why so pessimistic?

    netglow replied to pymschrs's topic in General Nursing

    "hoochified" Love that! I tell you something funny. Months ago I went to a scrubs store just to see what was new. I had asked about my size in a specific brand, and I think I mentioned not wanting my...

    How many other nurses do you work with?

    netglow replied to rob4's topic in General Nursing

    Just to be clear for the Op, in case he for some reason does not know. As an RN you will have YOUR patient assignment. These are your responsibility and your responsibility only. You may have help....

    feeling defeated

    netglow replied to passion2serve's topic in General Nursing

    Just so you don't feel a failure, I have heard and read your story almost word for word so many times. Often, nursing can be about the most unprofessional profession there is. It may be that the last...

    Kicked out of my CNA program, could use some advice.

    netglow replied to Directrix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes this is what my program now does too. CNA is a pre-requisite. Tough break OP, hmmm, I think that the advice given to hunt for "other" offers of CNA training is what you should do. I'd think they...

    How strict are employers in screening people with "1 year RN experience?"

    netglow replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

    I've always pretty much known that if the job ad is for a hospital, requiring one year acute care RN experience, it means that they WILL NOT ORIENT YOU much other than showing you around the place,...

    Used as a job reference.

    netglow replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    It goes like this. Prospect gives references to HR or NM. Everybody says pretty much good things about prospect except you. Seems odd to get a negative from a reference. Don't matter that you didn't...

    Walk away or work one more night before telling them to shove it?

    netglow replied to arabstarRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ok, good. But is the DON in on the weekend? You do need to speak to the DON phone or in person before he/she is gone. If not, your note would be leaving your next shift after this vacant just the...

    Walk away or work one more night before telling them to shove it?

    netglow replied to arabstarRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    No need to tell them why, they know. Nobody cares that you are leaving except that they need to staff your shift. Really. Remember there will always be another

    Walk away or work one more night before telling them to shove it?

    netglow replied to arabstarRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'd call now, let them know you are resigning. You just don't want to be acused of leaving them without time to call someone else to cover. Don't tell them you have another job. Not a thing. Say thank...

    netglow replied to doesthishelp's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did not spend any time studying meds. That's right, I relied on my retention from past semesters. Left after 75 and passed. Still wonder at what a waste that test was. All I can say is thank God I...

    How is there a shortage?

    netglow replied to Luularoo's topic in General Nursing

    After reading Chico David RN's post, I'd add this: Nobody is going to flood funds back into hiring nurses and training nurses like they once used to. Maybe a few academic centers will... but the...

    Is it looked down on if you go for BSN full time after graduation instead of working?

    netglow replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

    Fictional vital sign charting
