  1. Has hospital nursing changed that much?

    Marshall1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Have been out of the hospital setting for about 4 yrs. doing other types of nursing. Was recently contacted by someone about coming to work for her in a large, nice facility about an hour from me - it...

  2. Has hospital nursing changed that much?

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the replies...it sounds like it had changed and not for the better...I spoke to someone last night who works at this hospital PRN and said the PRN's get "dumped on" all the time - which is...

  3. Has hospital nursing changed that much?

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    It is difficult and a new grad knowing more than an RN-BSN w/13 yrs experience? I don't think

  4. Career opportunity teaching electronic medical records

    Marshall1 replied to Nascar nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I taught the Meditech program in the 90's at a hospital in Florida. This was a hospital position not for the actual Meditech company. It wasn't bad..you just have to be ok with doing a lot of the same...

  5. Too close to the situation for comfort?

    Marshall1 replied to JTinKY's topic in Oncology

    It's your choice - listen to what YOUR heart and mind tell you - not someone else. You actually are in a better position than most in this type of nursing because of what you have gone through - it...

  6. Antagonizing patients--just a vent

    Marshall1 replied to Isitpossible's topic in Psychiatric

    Do something - these patients are in vulnerable positions and either the nurses you work with are cruel and abusive or they truly don't understand psych patients. Either way, they are abusive to the...

    Marshall1 replied to savoytruffle's topic in Health, Stress Management

  8. Overreacting?

    Marshall1 replied to SionainnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Who sends "Thank you" notes to patients? I never have nor would I. Thanking them for what? Getting sick and using the local hospital to get well? Facebook has bitten and will continue to bite more...

  9. Starting pay in North Georgia (Fannin, Union, Towns Counties)

    Marshall1 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You can try calling HR and asking them the average salary for the area..Glassdoor.com or Salary.com may provide you w/some info. but those sites seem to aim high. Most hospitals in the N Ga area -...

  10. Perdiem as fulltime?

    Marshall1 replied to evil03midget's topic in Agency Nurses

    For years all I worked was PRN on a FT basis - my health benefits came through my spouses employer. I never had any trouble getting the hours I wanted but it was also a larger hospital and I was...

  11. Horrible Monday, lost job, extremely late to another job interview

    Marshall1 replied to sw1242's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Getting an interview for one job, let alone two, in this economy, with the competition as it is and as a new grad is not something to approach in a "Geez whiz" kinda of way..maybe I'm reading your...

  12. Do potential employers owe you an explaination?

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thank you for all the replies..I think the big deal for the guy I know going through this is he was told he would hear one way or the other and was told he would get another (final) interview and...

  13. Jumping the Nursing Ship to Follow My Dreams

    Marshall1 replied to GeriRN2010's topic in General Nursing

    Go for your dream! You can always return to nursing if needed OR you can figure out away to combine baking and nursing - you never know where the road will lead! Good

  14. Hospice Case Management question

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    FT call was going to be 5p-8a and every other weekend..they wanted this PLUS case managing 6-7 pts. and make it a salaried position. I told them no - that was too much - at least for me. So they asked...

    Marshall1 replied to imapsychrn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  16. Hospice Case Management question

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Thank you for replying - I am going to case manage 7 patients and as far a I know there is no call requirement. I am just not sure how much time case managing 7 patients will take. I'm assuming a few...

  17. Baylor Opinion

    Marshall1 replied to bshaw96's topic in Home Health

    I take the schedule in a heartbeat since you can spread you visits out and basically work 3 or 4 days or 1/2 days. For me, when I worked Baylor, I didn't miss the weekends off. I preferred weekdays...

  18. Cry for help: I don't think I can do this.

    Marshall1 replied to -MissTake-'s topic in General Students

    You don't say what your other degree is in..maybe I missed it..but, my recommendation, since you are so close to finishing is finish, take the boards then go from there. You ARE under a lot of...

  19. Looking for some career insight

    Marshall1 replied to nursenancy27's topic in Nursing Career

    Apply!! If you were happier there and have the opportunity to return in the specialty you are happy in why not? If you leave where you are at that opens a slot for another unemployed or unhappy...

  20. Should I look for other jobs besides Nursing?

    Marshall1 replied to PurpleDelight's topic in Nursing Career

    This isn't about you - its about your mother. If you were as terrible as she says or stupid or whatever you would not have made it through school or passed the boards. As tough as it is, the best...

  21. How do Hospitals save money changing 12 hr shifts into 8 hrs?

    Marshall1 replied to Adenosine6's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about the economic part of it but I do know that where I live (in Georgia) many nurses are trying to get the hospitals to at least offer a choice between 12 hr and 8 hr shifts with the...

    Marshall1 replied to NurseDevonL's topic in Nursing Career

  23. VetPro credentialing question

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Government, Military

    Vetpro doesn't ask your employer anything - they just verify dates of employment with the HR

  24. Hospice Case Management question

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Thank you for replying...I was told I could choose my own days to work and would case manage the 7, no call is "suppose" to be involved as they have an RN who is going to take call FT. I don't mind...

  25. Second degree bsn needs advice

    Marshall1 replied to MichellleRocks's topic in School, College Programs

    You have to be an RN to become a CRNA. If that is your eventual goal then nursing school is the only way to go. You can "google" programs to see which ones are accelerated and take it from
