  1. ATTN: Becoming a Medical Assistant=Waste of Time

    JomoNurse replied to msnjie4RN's topic in General Nursing

    it's a waste of time in the sense that it will somehow get you into nursing school quicker, be easier for you to be accepted, etc. Being MA IS beneficial in the sense that it gives you an idea of what...

  2. Are there nursing jobs or not?

    JomoNurse replied to Lala27poodles's topic in General Nursing

    it's easy for a nurse with at least 1 years of experience to find a job (generally). New grads are still being hired in my neck of the woods (socal), but some of them are having to settle and taking...

  3. Physical Assessments: Do Any Nurses Do Them

    JomoNurse replied to romie's topic in General Nursing

    i don't think i'd ever report anyone for their type of assessment. RNs do their own thing and i think it's their freedom to do so. but i just wanted us all to get a little honest here. how many of us...

  5. I lost my passion for nursing..how do I get it back?

    JomoNurse replied to Harlene's topic in General Nursing

    very few people with whom i work have a so called "passion" to be a nurse. they're there because it pays damn well for only a 2 year degree, you work 3 days a week, you wear comfy clothes, and they...

  7. I'm not really a nurse until I sign "RN" after my name

    JomoNurse replied to NewNurseAlert's topic in General Nursing

    JomoNurse replied to Sarah K, RN's topic in General Nursing

    youre not supposed to sign off a medication if you haven't given it. why in hell did they fire you? in my opinion, this was caused by poor communication and not by your competency and potential as a...

  10. Using "RN" After Your Name

    JomoNurse replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    i have absolutely no idea why anyone would put RN after their name outside of work. it's like John Doe, Police Officer..... Mary Jane, Cashier. laughable! i probably would put MD or PhD after my name...

    JomoNurse replied to LifelongDream's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    JomoNurse replied to romie's topic in General Nursing

  14. Nurses Going to Med School

    JomoNurse replied to freakjojo06's topic in General Students

  16. High blood pressure

    JomoNurse replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I love when people respond with the "you should know that!" line. Well, the person does NOT know that. Instead of confirming that, do a little education. So, yes, hypertension increases your risk for...

    JomoNurse replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My schedule is exactly like TraumaRN EXCEPT I do not take a nap the afternoon preceeding my 1st night. I find that I'm able to stay awake during that particular afternoon and stay awake all night...

  18. New Grad positions anyone/anywhere???

    JomoNurse replied to SantaCruzNewGrad's topic in General Nursing

  19. How easy is it to lose your nursing license?

    JomoNurse replied to Ted D's topic in Nursing Career

    From what I hear it's hard to lose your license - even if you make a medication error. From what I know, you have to make some sort of error that is SO out of the ordinary that you should have known...

    JomoNurse replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

  21. Being a preceptor blows

    JomoNurse replied to RoyalNurse's topic in General Nursing

    i haven't had time to read the responses. but from what you said in your post, have you actually taken the time to teach her? maybe she had a $hitty preceptor and wasn't taught anything. And if you're...

  22. There won't be any raises this year

    JomoNurse replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    The RNs where I work belong to a very large union. Our hospital HAS to give us raises or they'll know we'll strike. We striked a few years ago because they didn't believe we actually would strike. In...

    JomoNurse replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    JomoNurse replied to Inarya's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a pulse? Can you work weekends? Do you play well with others? I'm just kidding. There are no sceario type questions. And even if there are in your own unique interview which is impossible...

  25. NCLEX Question

    JomoNurse replied to Blondie24's topic in General Nursing

    You have to have graduated from NS before you can take the NCLEX. Plain and simple. This former nursing student is a liar. Well, maybe that's a little harsh, but he/she is "twisting the truth" a bit...
