  1. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    GM2RN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed a lot of this type of shortening what would be a complete thought or sentence in both the spoken and written language. IMO, I think some of it, maybe even most, is the result of trying to...

  2. Frustrated

    GM2RN replied to pinedaw14's topic in General Nursing

    I have never worked for an agency and don't know them well enough to recommend one. However, I've considered it and went so far as to start some research, so I know enough to advise you to really do...

  4. Career Change-confused!!

    GM2RN replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Well, I think this thread has outlived its usefulness, assuming it ever had any. The OP has demonstrated that she knows everything she needs to know and doesn't need our help, so we may as well shut...

  8. Career Change-confused!!

    GM2RN replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    And this just underscores what many of the comments here have been trying get across. NOBODY is trying to say you WILL regret it or that you shouldn't do it! We've been trying to offer you ways to...

  12. Career Change-confused!!

    GM2RN replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Deebuzz started a thread in April with the following post. Note the reason she states for going into nursing. Take it for what it's worth, but I have a feeling you won't take it at all. Deebuzz: "I...

  13. Advice/help!

    Call the emergency departments in your area to speak with the social workers assigned to the ER (smaller ones may not have one on staff though). They should be able give you some possibilities. Also...

  15. Job advice

    GM2RN replied to Skwidward's topic in General Nursing

    There's no hospital that I know of that gives consideration for LVN experience when hiring RNs. You also need to consider what you get in benefits from each facility and what your contribution will...

  17. Clerk working as clinical nurse

    GM2RN replied to Lostsoull's topic in General Nursing

    Having a clerk act as a nurse isn't safe even if it's legal. I'd be looking for another

  18. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    GM2RN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with most of these and would add affect vs effect. I also pointed out to a nurse one time that she always wrote, "resumed care of patient" when she actually meant "assumed care of patient."...

  19. Restraints. Act first, then order? A Judgement Call.

    GM2RN replied to ARose11's topic in General Nursing

  20. I think I got offered a job

    GM2RN replied to AvaRose's topic in Nursing Career

    FYI, there's no reason to wait for your lisence to become "active." Many places even allow new grads to work while they wait to take the NCLEX, so no need to wait at all once you've passesd. While I...

  21. Got fired.. Need support

    GM2RN replied to uniqueguy34's topic in Long Term Acute Care

  23. Do things get better?

    GM2RN replied to champagneferret's topic in Emergency

    I'd been a nurse for 5 years with 15 months of ER experience when I transferred to another, larger ER. I had the "what did I get myself into" feeling for a good year or more. I've been there 4 years...

  24. Everyone wants me to take Nursing?

    GM2RN replied to PoppyLizz's topic in General Nursing

    GM2RN replied to uniqueguy34's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    I worked for a hospital that had LTAC in the building but when a patient had to be admitted to the hospital it was a discharge from LTAC and an admit to the hospital. Same thing for another hospital...
