  1. I love it ALL

    noahsmama replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    Given the job market these days, I'd vote for applying for everything and then just seeing where you end up. Although I agree that peds sounds like it might be a good fit for you. Good

  2. Do you ever get tired of hearing this phrase?

    noahsmama replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    If that's the case, then "I want to be sure to protect my license" would be code for "I have purchased malpractice insurance".

  3. Family Nurse

    noahsmama replied to Tamarah Chick's topic in General Nursing

    All you need is your client's written permission to access their health information or talk to their health care providers, you don't need a POA. In fact, if you're present at a client's MD...

  4. Was your nursing program in a dangerous area?

    noahsmama replied to CNA1991's topic in General Students

    I wasn't offended, just wanted to present my own point of view about Oakland, as someone who has lived here for 26 years. I assume the CRNA school you're referring to is Samuel Merritt U, which, as I...

  5. Was your nursing program in a dangerous area?

    noahsmama replied to CNA1991's topic in General Students

    There are parts of Oakland that I feel that way about -- like anywhere near the Oakland Coliseum. However, most of Oakland is quite nice. Every major metropolitan area has both bad and good...

  6. For all the nurses on this site!

    noahsmama replied to katielam616's topic in General Nursing

    That makes three times that this exact same thing has been posted on this site. And, it's just as saccharine as ever, I might add. Sorry -- I know opinions vary and some people love this quote -- I...

  7. Was your nursing program in a dangerous area?

    noahsmama replied to CNA1991's topic in General Students

    Here's another suggestion -- why not go visit the campuses of the schools you're considering applying to? Bring a friend if it'll make you feel safer. I really think if you walk around the campuses,...

  8. Was your nursing program in a dangerous area?

    noahsmama replied to CNA1991's topic in General Students

    OMG CNA1991, as a 25 year resident of the fine city of Oakland and a graduate of one of its nursing schools (Samuel Merritt), I feel compelled to defend the city in which I live. First of all you...

  9. Nurse charting stuff she did not do.

    noahsmama replied to Peetz's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have any proof that this nurse is charting treatments that she's not actually doing? If so, write an incident report, each and every time that she does

  10. Job interview that made you want to run?

    noahsmama replied to Glenna, LPN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you're completely certain you don't want the job (and it sounds like you are), then there's no reason to go to the second interview. Decline politely. Meanwhile, call back the place you're hoping...

  11. Looking for employment while pregnant?

    noahsmama replied to JennyANP's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yeah, it's easy to mess up a word when you're typing fast. I normally don't point out little mistakes like that, but since you were suggesting other people grab their dictionaries.......(I love words...

  12. Need STAT advice ~lowball job offer~

    noahsmama replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just re-read the OP and realize you're basing your estimate of what the salary should be on information from AN and from a salary website. As others have said, I would be VERY careful about drawing...

  13. Looking for employment while pregnant?

    noahsmama replied to JennyANP's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd be happy to look up the word VERACITY if you look up the word

  14. Need STAT advice ~lowball job offer~

    noahsmama replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, then there's your answer -- if you won't be happy taking the job at what you consider to be a lowball salary, then you have nothing to lose by trying to get them to up the offer. If they don't,...

  15. Looking for employment while pregnant?

    noahsmama replied to JennyANP's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There have been many threads posted here on this topic in the past. Here's just one: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/help-pregnant-job-554385.html Opinions vary as to whether you...

  16. I like being different.

    noahsmama replied to ajeanine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This varies a lot from one facility to the next, and from one part of the country to the next. I live and work in the SF Bay Area, and I've seen quite a few nurses with visible tattoos and nose studs...

  17. New to Nurse Recruiting

    noahsmama replied to Carmenrjones12's topic in General Nursing

    I just googled 7g transplant nurse and found this job listing: http://www.allentownjobs.net/js/general/job.asp?id=23014473&src=RSS&aff=FE1E04F6-9592-4CD2-A242-CD8247A4C0D7 "7G" is just the...

  18. 8-hour shifts save money?

    noahsmama replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    If nurses are shifting from 3 12's per week to 5 8's per week, then each nurse is shifting from 36 hours per week to 40 hours per week. You'd be getting 4 more hours per week per nurse. I assume you...

  19. Is there anything good that being a nurse has taught you???

    noahsmama replied to juzme's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned that good health is not something that anyone can take for granted, because it can be gone in the blink of an eye. I've learned to be grateful for my continued good health and the good...

  20. Accelerated RN-BSN Degree?

    noahsmama replied to Infermero's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Not at all. They're not designed for working adults -- they're designed for people who are willing and able to take a 12 to 18 month break from working to go to school full time. Some do manage to...

  21. I'm new here, but this forum needs a Staff Lounge...

    noahsmama replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I'd like to see AN Central featured a little more prominently, so more people can find it. Sometimes non-nursing topics get posted to the AN main board, there's the beginning of a lively...

  22. Have you ever heard of this?

    noahsmama replied to BriRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I never got headaches from having my stethoscope around my neck, but I got a rash that almost felt like a burn -- took several weeks to develop and when I first noticed it, I thought my neck was...

    noahsmama replied to tgyles's topic in General Nursing
