    New grad relocating to Chicago

    netglow replied to Lizzyb3185's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I am sorry to tell you, the job market for new grads is extremely poor in Chicagoland. Yikes. We have so so so many new grads, and yet not enough positions to handle even a fraction. Maybe you could...

    netglow replied to jschex6's topic in General Nursing

    Moral of your story is really for you. You won't forget this now when you begin to pass meds in your very first clinical. It's called the 5 rights, and it's applicable for everything you (do), really...

    As a nurse, how do you perceive that physicians feel toward you?

    netglow replied to jaimeandjules's topic in General Nursing

    SDN is full of kids remember they are just kids. AN also has a good sized group of kids. Some of these on both side have totally unrealistic "TV" views of what the respective professions will be. As...

    What to expect as a RN Nurse Supervisor role with no nursing exp.?

    netglow replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    OK, then OP, you should not take the job. I am a bold person with lots and lots of experience running everything including a doc. This prior to becoming an RN. Is it difficult to grasp the info you...

    netglow replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, didn't mean going back to what you used to be doing, I guess I meant mixing your business abilities in somehow. You've got business skills that others lack. If it's some kind of case management...

    Hiring outlook for ADN vs. BSN in your town?

    netglow replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not at all saying that some of you guys won't get hired. Just saying that you need to make sure you have a way to pay your bills in case you are not hired. I realize this is not a problem if your...

    Hiring outlook for ADN vs. BSN in your town?

    netglow replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    You have to look further than a job board looking for nurses. Many places just leave the same old postings up year around but do not hire. Many will not hire nurses with under 1 or even 2 years acute...

    I'm having strong intuition that if you get out and back in corporate you will be the early bird who gets the worm. I just feel that nursing is going in the toilet, it just

    Hiring outlook for ADN vs. BSN in your town?

    netglow replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    What would be great is if you could ask some of those graduating near you what the deal is. If your college is near you, go and haunt the nursing department and find someone close to graduating, some...

    netglow replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sugar, that little "issue" about all that money is a big one! I know many who are in the hole right now. It is a huge shame, and they are in financial ruin. Thing is, nursing employment is so bad...

    netglow replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think I've had mine on my itouch for maybe close to a year now. It sure is a good one. Also you can download Micromedex which is commonly used at some big facilities, it's free too. I also have the...

    netglow replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    Go for it, check 'em out and if they are OK, then go for it. There is much more opportunity outside of nursing. You will see (forget if you came from a corporate background or not). None of this slave...

    crisis care

    Am I selfish for going back to school?

    netglow replied to nancypants's topic in General Nursing

    No you are not selfish, however if you want to make a better life for your family, eg you're looking for some financial stability, nursing might not be the best choice. Nursing has had a downward...

    netglow replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, if that were happening to me, I would do just as you locking her out, turning the ringer off, never returning phone/text/email etc. Thing is I get to a point where if someone pushes me too far,...

    OP, you are correct. I like to see things as they are too, and I never make good out of what stinks. I think you are smart to try and navigate either out of nursing, or use your RN somewhere else than...
