    Student Loan Defaulters ONLY

    netglow replied to Spode's topic in General Nursing

    Yes this is why I don't go RN-MSN until I find out if "nursing" could ever really pay for such an expense. I have to be sure, that, my career/income as a nurse will "afford" this education. If I...

    New grad Home health nurse

    netglow replied to Nursee13's topic in General Nursing

    If there is no orientation then my advice is to skip it. Homehealth Co.s are like Hospice Co.s they pop up out of the woodwork everywhere. Find out who your chain of command is if they will tell you....

    What do you think of the nursing schools that churn out graduates in a instant...?

    netglow replied to tatempole's topic in General Nursing

    I did it for the money. The only reason why I work for someone else is to get the money. I went to school for a second degree because like the first degree it was required to get the job that I need...

    netglow replied to helpall03's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think any license or certification will help you quickly. Device and pharm sales both are getting more discriminatory in hiring. Many want clinically advanced practice folks these days, PAs,...

    Have nurses always been so negative?

    netglow replied to scrubbee's topic in General Nursing

    Have nurses always been as negative as they are on these boards? -- Yes/No. I think most would say the environment for nurses at work has worsened in I'd say the last 6 years or so (my own consensus)...

    netglow replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    You could call, however most hospitals pretty much tell you not to call, eg "Don't call us, we'll call you". Some even get huffy about it and actually will tag you if you do not follow the rules that...

    netglow posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious to know your thoughts. I'm a second career nurse, and, in business it is often about who you know. But, even though there is some animosity, it usually wanes as this is how it goes. Those...

    Need advice, please!

    netglow replied to UFmomof2's topic in General Nursing

    You don't know if the patient fell or not. Did you ask just simply, "patient, how did you get this bruise?" I think documenting in great detail of what you found is most important. Time, place, what...
