    Home Health-The good, The bad, and I'm getting out.

    netglow replied to lsvalliant's topic in Home Health

    Hospice can be just as bad or worse for all the same reasons - plus GPS on your phone, which you are required to keep with you at all times at some places - so they know if you are home and within...

    Being labeled an MA but an LPN

    netglow replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on your BON. In my state an RN/LPN can work as a CNA. Look. You interviewed for an MA position, and you were hired for an MA position. Your title is MA at your workplace. Sure your...

    I dropped out. Please console me

    netglow replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I think that you might consider getting a masters in something else. I think you are sort of like me in that you can't trick yourself into doing stupid stuff. Those days are over. The only...

    Midlife Career Change to Nursing - Advice, please

    netglow replied to mcgocara31's topic in Nursing Career

    You need to begin thinking in real vs positive/negative feelings as a nursing student. I think you are reading these posts with the impression that some sort of cynical teen angst is behind them....

    Midlife Career Change to Nursing - Advice, please

    netglow replied to mcgocara31's topic in Nursing Career

    Well? It is what it is. We've heard how sucky things are for new lawyers, too. You certainly are smart to listen to us, and not think we are being ridiculous. So many never ask, like you are doing,...

    Patient asked me what an IV med was for..i didnt know

    netglow replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Eh, as others have said state that you do not administer these medications that you will get the RN and she can explain. Hey, if you don't know you don't. Now, here is a tip. If you know what your...

    Regarding nursing students- was this too much to ask?

    netglow replied to blondy2061h's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it's a great idea. Half the anxiety and muddling around during clinicals is surrounding medpass. It's always better to have something to be able to

    Midlife Career Change to Nursing - Advice, please

    netglow replied to mcgocara31's topic in Nursing Career

    How about $20 per hour in some of the places that might be hiring nurses. You'd have to move as well. Not saying that you won't find a better paying job, but know that is out there. Also, your law...

    Northwestern Memorial Hospital Interview Process

    netglow replied to JaimeeRN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Nursing doesn't care what you used to do before you got your RN license. You pretty much go back to "0". Lots have other degrees, and also healthcare experience if you read posts here on AN. The other...

    450 Resumes sent. 0 call backs.

    netglow replied to lsid16's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would not recommend enrolling in a bachelor/masters program before you have SOME type of job - any paying job. Does not matter if it's nursing. You need to have some way of paying on your loan even...

    "Loosing" my license

    netglow replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, same in IL. You will not be allowed to receive or renew your license if you default on either - so that's tough if you are a NG without a job. Also the fact that you cannot pay and have...

    Northwestern Memorial Hospital Interview Process

    netglow replied to JaimeeRN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    cita, it's not prejudice - it's that you will be unavailable in the near future. Nobody is going to wait for a new grad for any reason. You simply have nothing to offer them that they cannot get +1000...

    Certified Nurses Day excluding people

    netglow replied to RN34TX's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think all that kind of thing is terribly demeaning to professionals. What is this, anyway, kindergarden for adults? Why should you be rewarded? I mean, really? Giving a 5 year old a diploma and a...

    Doctor Hassles

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

    It's not worth it to work with people like this. After the first ineptitude by known perps I'd be over both their heads. I just don't play with fools. I have no patience with

    A doctor needs to be present to draw blood?

    netglow replied to psu_213's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Eh, nice that he's there. If he owns the business, it's good he cares. As a former business owner, I'd understand that. He could easily be the type where he's off to a ball game for the rest of the...

    Northwestern Memorial Hospital Interview Process

    netglow replied to JaimeeRN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    If you read back and on I think another thread, Northwestern has all but cut its orientation for new grads, although it is hiring new grads. This is confusing to me, I don't understand why they would...

    Is your Hospital requiring a copy of your diploma or transcripts?

    netglow replied to floridaboundrn's topic in General Nursing

    Silly when filling out apps that they ask what university/degree/gpa, then also want to know what high school you went to and if you

    netglow replied to I's and... Oh's's topic in General Students

    Having a prescription for meds is not an issue. If you are prevented from caring for yourself by being told you cannot take prescribed medications (provided you are not impaired by them) you have a...

    New Grad RN, 8 months later still can't find a job. Should I work as an LVN for now?

    netglow replied to bunny88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Not true. OP, you can even work as a tech or a CNA as an RN in many states. Just contact your BON and find out. In IL an RN can work as a

    Is your Hospital requiring a copy of your diploma or transcripts?

    netglow replied to floridaboundrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the after hire requests are for gpa. But I've filled out many online apps that want your GPA for all degrees completed. Why not? If you barely made it through college, that should be...

    Norovirus

    netglow replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in General Nursing

    Remember hand sanitizers are no good with Noro. Wash hands! There has been discussion of an airborne quality to Noro evolving - I believe this. Usually Noro is quite violent but short term. I have had...

    netglow replied to floridaboundrn's topic in General Nursing

    They can get you for fraud too. I hope there is a little weeding out. This type of thing, is probably a lot more common than you'd think. There are so many nurses that are playing straight for these...
