  1. How was your first days as a working nurse?

    Well, posting as a "working nurse" while working as a CNA will not gain you many sympathizers. Best to keep in mind that a nursing assistant is most definitely NOT a nurse. It will be helpful to...
  2. Displaying credentials

    Seriously? Bankers, attorneys, CFO's, COO's display their BOA's? Their MBA's? Not in my experience. They display their current title. That's it. That's sufficient to inform the...
  3. Displaying credentials

    No, more like professionalism. Desperately trying to get nurses to display the same dignity as other professions. Losing the

    Why not post this on the Illinois

    Why not post this in the California
  6. Displaying credentials

    Can anyone name another profession that wears this alphabet soup (correctly or incorrectly ordered) on their
  7. Bilingual Nurse vs. Interpreter

    All facilities have an obligation to provide qualified interpreters. If you have not gone through my facility's certification, you are not qualified to interpret in our
  8. blind from right eye

    Sometimes they are, as in total knee replacements. I think retinal detachment restrictions may be
  9. blind from right eye

    What is your weight lifting
  10. CNA before ADN?

    Back in the day, it was not a deal-breaker if you had no prior CNA experience. However, these days, I'm gathering that all of the experience and (perhaps most important) all of the connections you...
  11. how to get work with rn probational license

    As tough as it is right now in most parts of the US to find a job with a clean license, it will no doubt be really, really hard with an encumbered license. Best advice is to figure out which areas in...
  12. Changing to 8 hour shifts

    I think it's a great position. 12's are wearing you down, so 8's will be a welcome change. No family members in PACU. Patients can be challenging, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. PACU was...
  13. Well, even you will admit that this post is so much more comprehensible than the first. I struggled to make sense out of your initial post and thus wondered if others at your workplace struggle as...
  14. chest tubes metaparadigm help

    I don't even know what a metaparadigm is. So, OP, educate us! Tell us what you need to present and what your initial plan
  15. Medically Independent?

    "I was reading through some recent threads and a topic that seemed to come up often was a disdain for the fact that nursing does not actually contain much "figuring out" of medical situations but was...
  16. I'm guessing that English is not your first language. Do you work in an English-speaking facility? Are you certain that there are no language barriers working against you either in your...
  17. Under certain (extreme) circumstances it is indeed necessary to ensure that one is not misquoted. This circumstance applies. Retiring from this thread. Others will no doubt carry on for
  18. Note to self: I only replied to this post because it was requested. File under "I've been bullied"
  19. Essentially, you just proved the point that certain folks will see bulliying/discrimination/inequality/what-have-you-it's-not-fair in pretty much everything around them. AKA, the point of this thread....
  20. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    Actually, that's another topic and thread altogether. This thread focuses on whether or not consideration is given to the type of school that you graduated from and whether or not an online...
  21. Terminated after 2 months

    Unfortunately I think that the only one who can elaborate on why you were terminated is your former employer. Did you have an exit interview with HR? Are you sure that you did not receive another...
  22. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    What, exactly, are the ethical lines that the employer has overstepped? Is it not an employer's right to apply whatever criteria they deem important to their hiring practices? (Other than the...
  23. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    I so wanted to make this point earlier. However, I apparently have a talent for typing responses that are only read as snarky, not constructive. So I didn't. Thank you for expressing the issue so...
