    Burned out?

    netglow replied to lady88's topic in General Nursing

    You are smart OP, and that is the problem, and, I am not trying to be snarky. I had an instructor mumble that at the end of my last semester in nursing school, she pretty much said, "Those of you who...

    RN but haven't taken the boards?!

    netglow replied to MEB0423's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, so you say you go to your state's professional licensing website, look up "you" and it states that you are a licensed registered nurse? Ha! Never heard that before, LOL! Could be that you are...

    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

    If you tried to go part time in anticipation of finding a job in this economy all it might ever do is delay your BSN. If you have someone else paying for your living expenses/school which is the case...

    what percentage of your job involves poop?

    netglow replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in General Nursing

    JulieCVICURN, you are way more inappropriate than me. I get edited for the letter "s" followed by 3 ***. But you are just plain The poor OP is going to have nightmares. Plus she is already looking up...

    "We don't clean patients, we are a procedural area"

    netglow replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, this I observed in clinicals too. Funny, I helped with the tubing etc. repositioning. But was called to deal with a BM later with no return help. I was even told that the dialysis nurses are only...

    what percentage of your job involves poop?

    netglow replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm, never heard of that. I'll have to stop by Whole Foods and see if they have that. Worth a try! I second the GI bleed being in your skin in your hair, you feel that you can't get rid of it even if...

    what percentage of your job involves poop?

    netglow replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in General Nursing

    The first nurse that comes and posts that poop doesn't really happen when they work because someone else takes care of that stuff, may you get 6 Cdiff patients tomorrow. May a bloated yak change the...

    Do hospitals incur a net gain or a net loss from the training of a new graduate RN?

    netglow replied to WDM08002's topic in First Year After Licensure

    For any profession that has a rather exclusive skillset, a new hire without experience will be trained. This is how the entire outside world works. FYI there is an entire huge world out there that...

    No, apparently you don't know it all!

    netglow replied to himilayaneyes's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, people like that are scary as nurses. Unfortunately we know how many know it alls there are in nursing. It's great when they do know it all, then are able to teach it, but I can't stand the nurse...

    WHAT were they thinking at that Nursing Home???

    netglow replied to JDougRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, I can see both sides just from hanging around AN. I think that it is most likely that the LTC nurses would love to not have to MacGyver every last thing with 30+ patients, and very little in the...

    NSO Insurance

    netglow replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

    They have way of not being around if you have questions - in my experience. Also, once I got someone on the phone to ask about different policies, the person was easily confused, didn't understand...

    Need some advice please...

    netglow replied to arabstarRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sounds like you have a no win situation. I feel that you understand your surroundings and the deck of cards you have been dealt. It doesn't hurt to discuss your situation with management. You will...

    Blood transfusions??? just say no...

    netglow replied to macgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be OK with you guys not hanging cells if you stated that you will not do this, in bold, on your resume and applications. That way you would be honest and up front and let the employer decide if...

    Why are so many new nurses having problems?

    netglow replied to okchug's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I feel all that nurses week and magnet stuff is rather insulting. It's not needed, and an embarrassment. I want to work with professionals with a company that is ready for prime time, that is...

    Does this really make me look weak?

    netglow replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well then, he was speaking from a "boy" brought up not to cry point of view. Probably felt like a sissy when he cried, due to his upbringing. But, he was out of line, still, but not a B**** I guess

    Does this really make me look weak?

    netglow replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well that nurse is a total B**** in my book. She'd hear about it from me and never say something like that to anyone

    netglow posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you do, what do you do? And do you like the job, the salary? Is it stable? I am looking at something that has to do with LTC products. Basically RN case managing eg EMR auditing, collaborating with...

    Do you work for an insurance company?

    netglow replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply. You give me the kind of picture I was expecting. I am fine with that. I have years of being self employed as well as the M-F life, and then add nursing to that. So it's just...
