    CapeCodMermaid said: "Don't give up. There are good places WITHOUT unions with reasonable, respectful bosses." Unfortunately, there aren't enough; that's why there ARE unions. The best jobs I...

  2. New RN, first job, little disheartened.

    hotflashion replied to NC4RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have no words of wisdom as I feel the same way. Except that I'm working in assisted living which is a residence and in my state, anyway, nurses don't do treatments in assisted living, we call in...

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm still looking for someone who can give me the skinny on the role of the nurse in assisted living. Any info on courses? Organizations? i.e., what is the best organization to join? I'm particularly...

  5. Will I ever get out of LTC or am I doomed?

    hotflashion replied to JZ_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The OP would rather work in a hospital; or she thinks she would. As a new grad, I too, thought I would rather work in a hospital. I was certainly educated to think of hospital nursing as the goal. The...

    hotflashion posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My nursing history in a nutshell: May 2009: Graduated. A real go-getter in college, graduated magna cum laude, was a BWOC, super involved in the college, the department, and my class. Hindsight tells...

  7. Evolution of career goals, opinions on practicality, please

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, I do appreciate the time you took to respond but I still think you are missing the point. I was a new grad. For various reasons -- some in my control, most others out -- I couldn't get a job and...

  9. Will I ever get out of LTC or am I doomed?

    hotflashion replied to JZ_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If a facility is run for profit, then they are making a profit, regardless who is paying the bill, or they would not be in business. It's my opinion that there is a serious, inherent, conflict of...

  10. Overuse of antipsychotics in nursing homes

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    JZ_RN, do you work at a nursing home? If so, does your facility appear on the nationwide listing? If so, what are the numbers? I think the "other interventions" are skilled-personnel intensive. That...

  11. Can I do volunteer work as a nurse?????

    hotflashion replied to katr1313pay's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't really understand why free clinics can accept nurses doing volunteer work as nurses, but other establishments do/cannot not. I'd love an informed (i.e., legal) opinion on this. Anyway, there...

  13. Best homesickness advice EVAH.

    hotflashion replied to nurseprnRN's topic in Camp

    Well, I did it once, for two weeks. If it fits your life, it's great. I loved it. I was a new nurse and I learned how to work independently. I had no interest in working with kids and took the job...

    hotflashion replied to ceriseames's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  16. Keep looking for RN job, or CNA?

    hotflashion replied to ceriseames's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm a May 2009 graduate, RN BSN. I have been unable to find permanent employment. I, too, made mistakes early on. I did not work in healthcare before graduating. Instead of looking for a job senior...

    hotflashion replied to dixiesnurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Why don't you ask at Quincy which Boston-area community colleges they accept credits from. Then you will have a list of colleges to call to ask if they are offereing chemistry and A&P in an early...

    hotflashion replied to Tarabara's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've applied for VA jobs through USAJobs; the specific job listing should tell you exactly what forms are required. Sometimes I know I've felt stymied but have always been able to figure it out. If...

  21. Evolution of career goals, opinions on practicality, please

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There are very few jobs I would not take. Just about my only restriction is that a job not be hazardous to my health or safety, or to the health or safety of the patients in my care; the first job I...
