    New to nursing leadership and having some difficulty

    netglow replied to nfdfiremedic's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah about the "us and them" thing. Also, remember nurses are well, "nurses" they pile on like a bunch of fire ants "just because". So, there's that. Thing is, and this is good advice given here to...

    Help! I can't decide!

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

    I dunno. Seen circulating and don't want to do that. Very mundane as your job is a computer checkout one. Really, what would circulating lead to... circulating. If you went the other route, and worked...

    netglow replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I don't think college is anything that would fluster the OP, me either. Loved the A&P and Pathophys, actually there is a dumbing down that occurs once you actually start working as a nurse....

    netglow replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    Is it advisable to live in the dorms during nursing school?

    netglow replied to TJ_vladin's topic in General Students

    I am a firm believer in a solid freshman experience. Live in a dorm. Of course less roomies or a separate sleeping area is best, but don't overdue your worries about nursing. If you need quiet to...

    Job Hunting: MDs as References?

    netglow replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    Heck yeah. You just never know if you're gonna get a crabby NM interviewer who just hates ALL MDs though. So, I figure if I wind up with "that" during an interview, well fine - I am a professional and...

    Job market reality for new nurses

    netglow replied to DNS on the go's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, I see what's missing in this conversation. You see, in many areas, for you to have options open to you in nursing you must have the traditional base. Most all nursing options want to see hospital...

    netglow replied to DNS on the go's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well that's the spirit emt, but it might not be enough. Just be prepared, keep your emt up part time. I know a 10 year paramedic who was shunned for about a year from almost every ER. She even tech'd...

    Comments about personal appearance

    netglow replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'm naturally thin, not emaciated, but on the thin side. I can eat ANYBODY under the table. I've pretty much retained that ability and only go up like 6-10lbs every so often then I settle down....

    About to graduate with no hospital employment experience

    netglow replied to AJPV's topic in General Nursing

    If you have no prior employment experience of any kind, I'd continue to look. Thing is, the "experience" that you need as a new grad RN is the type you cannot get. Keep reading AN about new grad job...

    Job market reality for new nurses

    netglow replied to DNS on the go's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well it is sad. I also am a second degree nurse. However I guess I was very successful in my first career since the late 80's, so. It is hard to find work. LTC in so many areas really isn't a place...

    netglow replied to SummitRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    netglow replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    Save that text! It is gold. She made a big error in doing that. Be sure your interactions are short and to the point. Don't get into any kind of conversation with them especially that is not recorded...

    Nursing Faculty Shortage and Salaries

    netglow replied to Rhilogan's topic in General Nursing

    I'll just add because I don't read it here, that there is no nursing shortage. The faculty shortage is misconstrued as well. There are too many profit driven nursing programs and too many graduates....

    What are your thoughts on working PRN on top of FT?

    netglow replied to ANH_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do home health with your set up. Remember, they'll have your driving around and that takes a whole lotta extra time (no matter if they tell you you can be local). Then, there is usually...
