    Can a new graduate be a hospice RN?

    netglow replied to fireball78's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    In some newer hospices it's all about the money honey. It really is. Crazy stuff out there, keep your ears open. There are hospices that hire RNs just to do HTH and vitals for charting and validating...

    Leaving the ICU after 15 years

    netglow replied to Zookeeper3's topic in General Nursing

    Zoo, I wish you the best. I look at you as a soldier returning from war who is going to need to ease into your new life. Take it slow, become more of an observer than a fighter now. I am glad that...

    RNs to write Diagnoses for medications?

    netglow replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Op, your NP is saying "nursing to do" only because she doesn't want to sit and do that stuff either. Same with the doc. It's just more paperwork. Legally speaking the MD has to do it. I look at it...

    Relationships with Doctors

    netglow replied to G in Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Consider this. Take the doctor or babydoc outside of the workplace and you can often end up with a boring maladjusted person. Once you figure this out and dump them they will feel slighted and because...

    netglow replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I keep saying this... There are a lot of home health and hospice that are really a huge mess. I wish they could be followed by regulators more closely. Seems just anyone can start one up. Nobody, I...

    When it gets to a big ticket expense such as a BSN, you have to weigh cost/benefit ratio. If you put down considerable $$,$$$ and time for a BSN, will you be able to quickly make more than what it...

    Our ADON says that ICU is boring... Is it true.

    netglow replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Sunny, but you are "different" aren't you? The ICU nurses I know say they LIKE working there because most patients are too sick (or are vented) to talk. They know that once a patient gets all chatty...
