I came to nursing from as social work back ground in case management. I decided to do my LVN "just to get my feet wet, as I waited to get into any of the few, highly impacted RN programs in my area, and ended up where I am today. Things that helped...

Hey There: Are there any nurses credit unions, especially in the SF Bay Area of CA? Today I was looking at our (me and wife)account statements from Wells Fargo and found charges for "Excessive Use Fee: $10" for an account that I have linked to a...

If you are interested I would very much recommend the research position. I switched into research one year ago, and it was the greatest move I have ever made. I work in research with the same populations that I worked with before: primarily undeser...

Geriatrics less draining? Personally, working SNF was the WORST experience of my life. I never felt so depressed. I was wrecked everyday at work. Knowing that we work our whole lives to end up in such a situation, for many people with out family ...

I think its worth it to do the LPN job. If you are able to work, you'll learn a lot about nursing and how to be a great nurse as an LPN. You'll be better prepared for life as an RN, and you'll have made a lot of connections, which are invaluable in ...

Is that a white Schnauzer, or just the lighting in your pic making false positive for white? I have a white Schnauzer too! They are pretty cute.

And I hope I have a nurse like you, Zen 123, if I ever need one.

This is pretty crazy! Of the proton pump inhibitors, is Protonix the only one that can cause false positives for THC?

People have been able to have terminations overturned, have been successful in court cases using the poppy seed defense, and there is validity to these cases. Over the years, improvements have been made in drug testing, which have made chances for p...

This thread is 10 pages. My original comment is a response to the racist comment,the ONLY comment that asked that racism not be a part of a response. I can't even find my original response, let alone that comment, I don't have time, my lunch is end...

I can't walk right now either! Luckily for me, I work a desk job, and my patient interactions is with research subjects who are all ambulatory, so my time off work has been minimal. I am really empathetic to your situation. I hope you are back on ...

I followed this link back here in my email, and I shouldn't have. I'm curious as to how so many of you found posts, including mine, where there was nothing antireligious, to be full of "vitriol" and "anti-Christian sentiment", and yet over looked a p...

Yes. That's why you are in the clear. A trauma reaction, where you are reliving a past trauma as you experience a current one is a pretty common occurrence, as I am sure you know. PTSD, etc.

OP, try rereading the article. I'm done in this thread.

I don't believe that anyone should be diagnosed via the internet, but I am backing up where the term "Psychosis" was first mentioned on the first page of this thread. That the OP uses the words "saw" "heard" and describes the imagery projected onto...

Check out the links I left for the OP in this thread. They may help get you started in looking at other options. Also, consider The US Public Health Corps, and consider going back to school for a MS in Healthcare Administration, a healthcare MBA, or...

Psychosis (from the Greek ψυχή "psyche", for mind/soul, and -ωσις "-osis", for abnormal condition) means abnormal condition of the mind, and is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reali...

Yeah, the job climate SUCKS, no matter where you are. So what I would reccomend with research is NOT applying for positions like "coordinator," for 2 reasons: the position that you want is called "MP-Medical Personnel" This is the work that is done...

Just stay under the radar. Talk to other people who made it through her class, and find out what they did to stay out of her way and pass the class. If asking questions ****** her off or gets her irritated, don't ask questions of her. Ask question...

Yeah, seconding this. I really want to go back to school for my MSN/RN (I'm an LVN). But I'm scared that I will leave my LVN job only to find that I can't get a job as an RN.

You are getting jobs like Flu shot nurse, and things like that. Have you considered to focus your job hunt outside of acute care? You are getting jobs, it is clicking with some interviewers, which means you'd click with others. Consider working in...

I fully agree with you, and your original post. This behavior is very disturbing, and in my mind, I also fear that the OP sounds psychotic. This behavior indicates a break with reality, and oftentimes, when cloaked in the guise of religious fervor,...

That is horrific.

I work in research, and I love it. I am not into bedside nursing at all. Check out medical research/clinical trials nursing opportunities.
