  1. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    Luv2care0907 replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    :igtsyt:I just retook the ACLS. Cost me $150 for a one day for the proficient ACLS. It was cheaper than the 2 day. I read the book carefully, knew my ECG strips and understood the meds that needed...

  2. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    Luv2care0907 replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  3. Potential dream job AFTER I started orientation (beware, really long)

    Luv2care0907 replied to HappyrockRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you happen to work in my area and this were the case, I would highly advise you to stay put. That mega-hospital is running the show here and it is like pulling teeth trying to get in the door....

  6. I-Pad Use By Nurses

    Luv2care0907 replied to Penguin67's topic in General Nursing

    One of the nicest features of both the iPad and the iPhone is the one that triangulates the position of the device. If you have an Internet connection and someone steals your iPad and you have...

  7. What kind of bag do you use?

    Luv2care0907 replied to brandi13's topic in Home Health

    What this is is the Thirty-One carrier http://www.thirtyonegifts.com/ I am not a representative for them. You have to find one in your area. For $6 they emboss these with your name. I also am using...

  8. Need advice!!!! I hate my job

    Luv2care0907 replied to moni777's topic in General Nursing

    That's great! Home health has many faces believe it or not. Part of the reason for that is that there are many social classes, environments, family situations, and cultures that you will find in...

  9. Need advice!!!! I hate my job

    Luv2care0907 replied to moni777's topic in General Nursing

    I have found an ability to use my counseling and teaching skills in home health. The pay is not as much, but for the most part it has been encouraging for me. I too like that part of nursing very...

  10. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    Luv2care0907 replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This is true sometimes, not all the time. I met many parents that never raised their voices and understood completely why I was there; however, I do know the type of parent you are speaking of. One...

  11. RN's...in demand if willing to relocate?

    Luv2care0907 replied to pat8585's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  13. Nurses and Lawsuits: How often does it happen?

    Luv2care0907 replied to coogabooga's topic in General Nursing

    That is so true. We are human and as much as we try not to, mistakes happen. There are people that I know personally who have discovered how easy it is to sue and make lots of money suing anyone in...

  14. Is it ok to wait a couple days before you accept job offer?

    Luv2care0907 replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    I assume you have recent hospital experience. If so, the sky's the limit as far as I can see. I wanted that kind of reception when I came back in 2009. Instead, I can't get my foot in the door....

    Luv2care0907 replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have been able to find work in two places to hopefully gain the experience that will eventually qualify me for a good paying job. One is home health and the other is the care of the elderly. I know...

  18. Who's ready for Spring Break??? (this is a vent)

    Luv2care0907 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Hope you had a nice break. I am presently doing school nursing. I am surprised that anyone in the school administration is saying this order is "unnecessary." Where I come from, nobody would say...

  21. Fired because of Facebook???

    Luv2care0907 replied to hairtocare's topic in General Nursing

    Right and I would take you to court and sue your butt off and win. Freedom of speech is our most protected right and without redress says exactly what it says. You can't redress. You can't...

  22. Fired because of Facebook???

    Luv2care0907 replied to hairtocare's topic in General Nursing

    I am deeply concerned about the way people do not understand their right to speak out against tyranny, evil and unfairness. That is exactly why we have those freedoms. Not only can we present them...

  23. Would you have opened this case?

    Luv2care0907 replied to Capco56's topic in Home Health

    I think that you might have felt more comfortable had the child had something for pain before you arrived or when you arrived. Even in adults, the wound vac protocols state over and over that pain...
