  1. Foreign Trained - RN to MSN programs

    Guest382916 posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Guest382916 replied to Guest382916's topic in Public, Community Health

    Yay!!! I am so encouraged to know that it's possible, given that the skill mix is so different. :-) What kind of position did you get? I have to admit I am a teeny bit jealous. :-D There are no...

  5. How to transfer into public health field?

    Guest382916 replied to Guest382916's topic in Public, Community Health

    Thanks goatmom! I'm not seeing much going where we are right now, and I'm considering trying to set up my own internship, just to get my foot in the door/get to network a bit plus add some experience....

  6. Grad school/work/life balance blues

    Guest382916 posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am in a dilemma. *Sigh* I have a somewhat spotty resume owing to moving 4 times in 10 years for my husband's job, and will likely move again in the next year. I returned to nursing after a nine year...

    Guest382916 posted a topic in Operating Room

    Long story, but I have been working for the last three months in PACU after being an OR RN most of my career. I had 9 years away from nursing - worked as an OR secretary, scrub tech, went to school...

  8. Support resources for nurses

    Guest382916 replied to Ash1313's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It seems that psychological support is not something that's done well in most hospitals. There is a lot of info online, and it's hard to wade through it all. Some thoughts: Do you have access to an...

  9. OR Nurse in PACU

    Guest382916 replied to Guest382916's topic in Operating Room

    Thanks, TTA. I know I probably will eventually feel more comfortable...I just worry that I will inadvertently do something to jeopardize my license in the meantime. Or a heart attack. :-P Good to know...

  10. Work or study or both?

    Guest382916 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I started a new job in a Recovery Room in December, 2 days a week. I have been an OR nurse all of my career so far, and I really feel like a fish out of water in this new area. I didn't intend to...

  11. Work or study or both?

    Guest382916 replied to Guest382916's topic in Nursing Career

    That's a great point re funding. And yes, I am in the US, but grew up & was educated in Australia. I'm trying to figure out where exactly I am going careerwise - it looks kinda foggy, though I...

  13. Can CGFNS reports issued in New Jersey transfered to Texas?

    Guest382916 replied to trtls's topic in International Nursing

    I would hardly call it a small fee. I have an active Mississippi license (compact state), passed NCLEX in 2009. We are moving to Missouri (another compact state), and to get my license there, they...

  17. Why do nurses have to "eat their young"?

    Guest382916 replied to kimmyj74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yep, what previous poster said :-) Also, I was thinking about it some more this morning. A blanket "Get your **** together" comment is not helpful to you. Are there things that you can pinpoint that...

  18. Why do nurses have to "eat their young"?

    Guest382916 replied to kimmyj74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. Actually, having been out of nursing for a while, I can say with some amount of authority that nursing IS worse for b****ing and backstabbing. I don't subscribe to the toughen-up-or-get-out...

  19. Why do nurses have to "eat their young"?

    Guest382916 replied to kimmyj74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ugh, I am so sorry that happened to you. Having worked in 3 countries now, I can unfortunately say that it's a universal phenomenon. I am now only just returning to the workforce after an 8 year...

  20. Any new grads having a hard time finding a job??

    Guest382916 replied to CocoChanel's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the info re Memorial. I applied for a mental health job there, but heard nothing back. I wasn't sure whether it is OK to contact nurse managers personally. It's what I have done in the...

    Guest382916 replied to MissRN0520's topic in General Nursing

    I just got my license here in MS (passed boards last week after a 10 year break from nursing.) What part of MS are you in? We live on the coast. I am looking for ACLS training as well! I see you can...

    Guest382916 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I put off doing the NCLEX for FIVE YEARS!!!! I was scared to death of it, and thought I wasn't smart enough. So I haven't worked as a nurse since moving here in January 2001 (though I did work as a...
