    Not ur usual ADNvsBSN ?? please answer

    netglow replied to jazzystudent's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Oh you have me wringing my hands OP. Nursing is far from a sure thing. It used to be a sure thing about 10 yrs ago, but that's long gone. Along especially with the post about needing support because...

    Is my nursing school making me dumber?

    netglow replied to BobDoe's topic in General Students

    Just wait till you graduate, get your license and begin looking for work. More of the lets nicely say "marginal" students will get the best jobs just because of connections, while you and your group...

    Discharged and left to die ????

    netglow replied to Gabby820's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, bad case management by the hospital. You both needed a counselor and an RN case manager to make sure you were taken care of. It is the job of these people to fill in what is missing as well as...

    Feels like a slap in the face...

    netglow replied to MECO28's topic in General Nursing

    I can promise you that those that have no healthcare experience, bad grades, flunked the boards a few times, BUT DO HAVE CONNECTIONS will get the job every time instead of you. This is universal...

    What is a new nurse to you?

    netglow replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    "The CNA who took the bp didn't report it to the night shift RN" How about the night shift RN, is she totally off the hook

    Concern: Age Discrimination for a New 58 RN

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

    Bottom line. Do you need to work to support you and your family? This will make your decision for you. There are thousands of nurses that are with license and chomp'in at the bit to work, but they...

    Hoping for a job offer....

    netglow replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear you were screwed but happy to see you are looking outside of bedside (I am considering some stuff as well). Heck I was corporate before nursing, and I have always wondered about...

    What was that?

    netglow replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    OP, that's because it's not about hiring the best person, it's about hiring who you are told to hire by certain folks. They must appear to be EEOC. All hospitals do it. So they often call ya to...

    Almost Fired !

    netglow replied to AlmostBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Well I disagree with that. I assume the OP is an intelligent person and understands. I am one to pretty much not act on impulse, that is why I have the letter ...so I don't have to, you see? It's best...

    Almost Fired !

    netglow replied to AlmostBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Seems it's quite common. You know, I'd just not think about the "next job" quite yet. You still have to play this one out. Are you still orienting? Whatever it is, I'd be sure to sit down and write...

    IV infusion volume rate on Pump

    netglow replied to LStar's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I re-read that second part. You set the pump based on the volume in the bag. However you need to also look at your orders. Orders may say infuse the entire volume (whatever that may be) over a...

    Two years of med-surg are not magic.

    netglow replied to BonnieSc's topic in Medical-Surgical

    OP, I was reading your original post and did you say that it took you 2 years to find your first nursing job? Just

    DONE with interviews and indecision - it's depressing

    netglow replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    Excuuuuuuuuse me, but you are not an RN? or even a student nurse? -- I see from your one other posting. Best to be humble and learn from this board. No matter who you think you are now, you won't be...

    New Grad Charge Nurse for Rehab to Home Unit

    netglow replied to Keila's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OP, what ought to start the alarm bells for you right off is that you are now hired, and you have to come here and ask people who can only guess what your job title

    Good Samaritan Law

    netglow replied to Kyasi's topic in General Nursing

    About the probability of lawsuits. They are probable once the injured/family realizes that that injured person, if the breadwinner for the family, will never work again due to the severe injuries...

    new medical intern on the service.... need advice

    netglow replied to doc123's topic in General Nursing

    Remember that you may have brand spankin new nurses on the floor. You guys are pretty much walking the same plank. It's always better to have a few partners in crime, right? That new nurse knows...

    Nurse vs. Doctor videos

    netglow replied to Turd Ferguson's topic in General Nursing

    Here is another one, foul language and all. I got this sent to me from a paramedic friend. I still have to be sure not to be drinking anything if I'm gonna watch it or that would be the end of my...

    What money can get you.

    netglow replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect that Daddy and Mommy believe that nursing is something for those who are a little challenged in life and cannot swing a more difficult edu route and career. It was nursing or hairdressing...

    What money can get you.

    netglow replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    I predict she will do fine. Not as a good nurse, but she will be the very first in your class to get hired. She'll be forgiven all errors (unless she actually kills someone). She will work, say, like...

    forgiveness--how do you define it?

    netglow replied to nurse2it's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly how I feel. Ending that relationship is important. If it's family or someone in your friend group, and you all are invited to the same gathering, you have to be able to "pass the...

    netglow replied to *Posh*'s topic in General Nursing

    Can you imagine a scenario: Say a daughter is flying in and has talked to the MD about the timing to make sure she can say her goodbyes. Dr. writes order. Other family is disraught and really maybe...

    netglow replied to *Posh*'s topic in General Nursing

    OP, I am almost positive I have read here on Allnurses, either a first person account or a second telling by someone who knew what was going on (anon coworker), of this very incident. It is here...
