    Nurses w/ advanced education & patient outcomes

    netglow replied to nursn4u11's topic in General Nursing

    Like what's going on in your state. Better if the Bachelors requirement also required a GPA to be considered for entrance. Just sayin, 'cause I KA for both my degrees. I always hated it to hear...

    Staffed during orientation????

    netglow replied to luvmyhubbybunches's topic in General Nursing

    Don't think about it anymore OP. You did what a normal person would do. Don't bring it up all, "I'm so sorry...blah, blah" once you go back to work either. Don't set yourself up as someone to kick...

    Hiring managers

    netglow replied to RNmilwife's topic in General Nursing

    It just depends how things are in your area. Mine is pretty much corporate - large corporate networks. Those are locked down. If you are in a small town area, you probably can mingle your way around....

    concierge ? Really?

    netglow replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, got a network like that near me. Focus is on concierge. You will not see the best and the brightest U.S. competitively educated RN staff, or support staff for that matter. At this network most...

    I don't like floor nursing...

    netglow replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    Thing is, nurses like this one are not well-liked by management. She probably quit or was forced out. I hope not, but, isn't that usually how it

    I'm seriously considering buying a ipod I touch for my career

    netglow replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Micromedex is also free. Get it all. I also make my own reference sheets in graphics software and then export as .pdf - I have an app "PDF Reader" and I can see all my custom

    Lateral Violence Research

    netglow replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Snow, I say do it. As you are part of the study, you should not tell anyone at all. Really, you would "taint" yourself. IF you are worried, talk to the NIH about your worries about being...

    What am I doing wrong?

    netglow replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

    No don't shell out any more $. Sometimes hospitals do not want nursing students because they know they won't be able to have you work as much as they'd like if you are in school. Sometimes, it's...

    Is volunteering at the hospital the best way to get me a job upon graduation?

    netglow replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    OP, do what ever floats your boat. None of it will make you more or less likely to be hired than the next in any quantifiable measure. Things are different in most areas in this day and age. It's not...

    Leaving new job for a better offer

    netglow replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't it feel good to have options! Don't screw it up. Be very very grateful for the op offered in the first job. Be sure you leave with loose ends tied up best you can. Remember, you don't want a...

    "I'm A Good Nurse" Syndrome

    netglow replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Hate it when people even say that. "I'm a good nurse" what the heck is that?! Sounds very low and childish, similar to a 3 year old who wants something and states, "I'm a good girl", or "I'm a good...

    If we are supposed to be promoting gender equality in nursing

    netglow replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    I think it was a minority support kind of thing initially. But, you do raise a good discussion point. Is a special section needed these days? I mean, what do they all do in there anyway... watch...

    How do I get an interview???

    netglow replied to JenCurry's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I can tell you that you are in hot competition with probably a thousand or two new grads... or more. Some still from even May/Dec. 2009! That's not to mention all the foreign students who come...

    I'm becoming discouraged about becoming a nurse :/ How will I get a job?

    netglow replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you are right to be concerned. I don't rec nursing. I actually have given people advice on how to find information so they can make a better informed decision, eg. scope out AN, interrogate...

    How to support New Grads....?

    netglow replied to Darknights's topic in General Nursing

    You know I read this stuff, and I'm thinking that your DON keeps dumping the entire responsibility on to you. It is your DON's responsibility to make it all gel. Your DON needs to do his/her job (bet...

    netglow replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    Also, at least in my area, LPNs are only seen in nursing homes, and that is even on the rare side these days. Your program could be geared for LTC, which depending on your area hiring practices, might...

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

    You know, all things considered and unforseen, I would just keep my focus on my current career. Sure, take a class or two if you want/can. But, my advice would be to not enter a nursing program....
