    What do you think of this?

    netglow replied to handyrn's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, many dental practices are set up just like that one. You looked through the phone book and picked a random doc. I would have asked anyone for a reference if I had none at all and no friend to...

    On Becoming a Nurse

    netglow replied to ColdChief's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody will "weigh" that you were in the army. Lots of people were/are in the armed forces. It is not unique. What you have to do is make sure all the "stuff" associated with that ruling is resolved,...

    Hospice

    netglow replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    So many medical folks are totally confused about hospice. No, it doesn't mean that the patient is going to be taken to the vet and euthanized. All hospice does is have everybody take a look at the...

    netglow replied to butterfly134's topic in General Nursing

    Profile Assessment?

    netglow replied to Boswellia Carterii's topic in General Nursing

    Approach those tests in this way: If you are going for a staff nurse position and you are new, you must take the test as a "little indian" - not as a "chief". So, to HR, just about every staff nurse...

    Is it true? BS + RN does not = BSN?

    netglow replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    Re the direct entry MSN, I have heard negative words about it too from NMs. Those programs are getting a bad rap. Nursing can be so ignorant of the ways of the world - which is scary. In other...

    No hospital job after working LTC? True?

    netglow replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Just depends. These days it is about who you know. If you are LTC you may have a chance, depending on who you know. I have had people tell me point blank (recruiters) that they will not take...

    Is it true? BS + RN does not = BSN?

    netglow replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, talking about taking the longest route around the block! OK! There is no adding one degree to another to create a whole new degree (just because you thought you might add them together ) If you...

    netglow replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure this is not you OP. But, so many are getting certified for this and that that it's become like getting a girlscout badge. Someone I went to school with told me that she was sure that nobody...

    Can an RN push ACLS drugs if not certified under doctor's order during a code?

    netglow replied to Athenas83's topic in General Nursing

    Well, as an RN you cannot deliver any medication without MD orders to administer. If you administer any drug it is with MD orders, so. As far as who does ACLS stuff, that's your facility

    netglow replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    He either knew you would never sign and was using that as a way to get rid of you unscathed (he hopes). or He never figured you wouldn't sign (because you are a stupid nurse ) so he's ******. See, he...

    Thing is, a New Nurse is a New Nurse, is a New nurse. It's ONLY about who you know. And believe me, once in, nobody cares how you got in - you better show 'em you were worth the gamble. The grass...

    Why is LTC so hated

    netglow replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The big problem is the stigma for LTC nurses. It's awful hard to be considered for jobs outside of LTC. So many hospital recruiters as well as NMs absolutely will not even consider someone coming from...

    Help! I suck at math!

    netglow replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    You might need to go back pretty far just to get some basic skills needed today. Think about your last math class long ago. Did you do much with algebraic graphing? That is, on a calculator? That is...

    How important is it for a Charge Nurse to be able to run a code?

    netglow replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in General Nursing

    Heck I just re-upped my BLS, some nurses fumbled severly even with the CPR practice, and then were still working on the written test, or were being educated on things they got wrong by the instructors...
