    Insurance Reimbursement Cuts

    netglow replied to drmorton2b's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever bought individual/family comprehensive health insurance on the open market (not group/employer-based)? I think you might benefit from getting a quote off of BCBS website and see just how...

    career change

    netglow replied to lmp919's topic in General Nursing

    Be sure to check out the availability of those positions before you jump. Call around! Also can you make ends meet with that small of an income? You need to prepare for the possibility of not finding...

    Low Census - Is it Happening to You

    netglow replied to Miranda50's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, just that. People cannot afford it. Much less infertility cash. I have heard this census down stuff from friends as well. Just heard on the radio this morning that only 46% of US citizens are...

    Insurance Reimbursement Cuts

    netglow replied to drmorton2b's topic in General Nursing

    This economic downturn is a bit different. We have the added problem of strong links made to import nurses (they call it a "diverse workforce") that were built in the late 90's. This was and still is...

    Need Help

    netglow replied to gizmo222's topic in General Nursing

    Yup a rat she is. Wow, sorry about it all. Just from that initial meeting, you would have tried to get the heck out of her unit. I think that they should have never hired someone new without the...

    Second Guessing My Decision :( Mistake???

    netglow replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Too bad you didn't stick out the Dr. office. What were you doing there? Triage? or just basically rooming and vitals, draws, etc. When you work for a doctor, once you get the basics down you need to...

    Need Help

    netglow replied to gizmo222's topic in General Nursing

    "to discuss what it means to me to be a nurse, and if I still wanted to work there." Wow, way to be condescending. That line would just PMO. Sorry. But I'd make some sugary garbage up about "what it...

    Quit nursing school, now what?

    netglow replied to Wolfless's topic in General Students

    SarahUGVsn, I've always thought that "dreaming" about being a nurse is such an odd thing. Nursing somehow is full of that little girl dream stuff as a reason to enter. Very odd when you consider it...

    How to know if job interview went well

    netglow replied to SFtoNYrn's topic in General Nursing

    You know what, if it is a doctor making the final decision, it might take a while. He's going to get back to it when he feels he has the time to. If I were you, I'd call, and inquire. Go ahead and be...

    Quit nursing school, now what?

    netglow replied to Wolfless's topic in General Students

    Well, this all is a blessing in disguise really. If you continued you probably would not be able to find a job in nursing, unless lucky and very connected. I remember a fellow student who dropped out...

    Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

    netglow replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

    Well it's a crap shoot. If you have the time and money and nothin else to do, go on and do your BSN. However a lot of BSNs and ADNs are unable to get hired. Doesn't much matter your degree anymore,...

    A question for career changers.

    netglow replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Only in nursing is it normal and routine to see employees ***** at each other just to do it without caring that the patient is within earshot, or wait, do it standing over the patient in bed and not...

    A question for career changers.

    netglow replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the difference is major. Most of the stuff I see in nursing is developmentally around the 13-14 yr old stage and very dangerous. It has been quite difficult to me to feel that nurses who...

    I agree. A "brain" is for your brain. It's what you need reminding of specific to your ability to do your job on your unit. This is something you will just develop on your

    Hospitals Pay for Nurses to Return to School?

    netglow replied to guest_57352's topic in General Nursing

    Used to be real great benes for edu. Now, not so much. I'd look into where you "could" work and see what's offered as you get close. I have not heard of any facility paying for your NP. You might get...

    setting alarm clock to take pain meds?

    netglow replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    I am not an ortho nurse but pretend I am in my own mind sometimes. (couldn't resist) The patient will find out quickly if they need to set their alarm clock ... or not. Years ago, I had a condition...

    Hold injection site with Lovenox?

    netglow replied to RescueNinja's topic in General Nursing

    I think you might have misconstrued the "holding" part as something I've heard before. But it is not holding the site. It might be to inject, then pause a second or so, then withdraw needle straight...
