  2. I really dont want to...

    Marshall1 replied to PacesFerryBSN's topic in Nursing Career

    If you truly don't want to take the position, go to your boss and say that. I'm sure he/she will try to change your mind but stand your ground and tell him/her that now is just not the time for you or...

  3. Angry Nurse here!

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

    If it's known he does this on other units I wonder why he has not gotten in trouble for this - its stealing.

  4. Thinking about taking some time off, after my experience. new nurse life crisis.

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

    First, if possible, I would suggest maybe seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist..therapy, medication or combination maybe helpful to you during this time. Second, taking time off..if you can, I say do...

    Marshall1 replied to jawharah's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I've never worked there but know someone who did. He drove close to an hour and 1/2 4 days a week one day to work there and had made this drive for over 10 yrs - that's how much he likes

    Marshall1 replied to MBrickle's topic in General Nursing

    The VA hires LPN's and ADN's and they do work them in the units - or at least the VA I was at did..things may have changed...anyway try here: http://www.usajobs.gov You never know - maybe there is an...

    Marshall1 replied to LTCNS's topic in General Nursing

    What I feel badly for you about - other than you are sick - is that you are sick and this worried about keeping a job you've had for 2 months with having a legit reason (with proof) for being out....

  8. St. Joseph's of Maine - direct entry to FNP program with BA and ADN???

    Marshall1 replied to cathyz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  10. Hipaa violation?

    If you have a Risk Manager or someone similar where you work that handles HIPPA I'd ask them. I would've filled out an incident report and notifed the supervisor for

  11. Moving from CA to the Southeast

    Marshall1 replied to LVNbayarea's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I've lived/worked in Ga and Fla. Both pay about the same for RN's ($22/hr and up depending on degree/experience/where you work/hours..) I don't know about LVN/LPN's. The further south you go in Ga or...

  12. Help ! Is there life after (Warning with Stipulations )

    Marshall1 replied to chickennoodelsole's topic in Nursing Career

    I have to be honest, I really don't understand your post or what the issue is or why your license is in trouble..you are an LPN not RN but are trying to become an RN? Reporting you to the board...

  13. Did I miss something?

    Marshall1 replied to MimiLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My question: was the doc aware that after the PRN breathing treatments her sats were in the 80's? Also, you don't mention if you placed her on oxygen... It sounds like she was stable even with her...

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

    Find another job or set limits - if you are being asked to stay over tell your boss that is cannot be the "rule" that overtime has to be the "exception" because of your health and family. Employers -...

  15. "You've never said you liked nursing." A vent.

    Marshall1 replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    I had an opportunity to return to the hospital setting after being away for over a year..instead I have opted for a part time HH job. If I could find a PRN position in a hospital I might consider it -...

  16. New grad LPN

    Marshall1 replied to Neese80!'s topic in Georgia Nursing

    The VA will hire new grads but I feel certain you would have to have taken/passed the boards before it would be in an LPN role. You can see available jobs here:

  17. Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    Marshall1 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Another part of the problem, in my humble opinion, is people who recognize they or someone they care for has a problem are often unable to get help because of lack of access (it takes MONTHS to see a...

  18. Any Pct's in Georgia?

    Marshall1 replied to peachshan's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Marshall1 replied to Dulce8's topic in Georgia Nursing

  20. Any Pct's in Georgia?

    Marshall1 replied to peachshan's topic in Georgia Nursing

  22. What's the secret

    Marshall1 replied to T-Bird78's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I would find out who the director is for the unit you wish to work on and write a cover letter, include your resume and drop it off to him or her at the hospital. A lot of the larger facilities, like...
