  1. Which job to take?

    A lot can change in 2 years so while it's great to be forward thinking, if at this time you don't need to work more than 2 days a week and can be more available to your family that's the route I would go if I were in your shoes. If the other person i...
  2. Chronic dialysis clinic hours

    There are several posts about the hours on here..I think a lot of it depends on the size of the clinic and how many shifts are run. Also, the hours you posted make me think this is for an office based dialysis position, not one running chronic or acu...
  3. Dialysis

    For what it's worth I'm right there w/you..I was offered a chronic position and accepted it a few weeks ago though my "gut" told me otherwise. It was mistake. Dialysis is definitely a "love it or hate it" area of nursing..while I don't hate it, I kn...
  4. Need advice!

    16 hours is WAY to long of a shift in any capacity - you have to take into consideration the drive time to/from work whcih would most likely turn 16 days into 17 or more depending on distance..you also need to consider not if but when you will be run...
  5. Blindsided by a colleague.

    I think you should talk to this person directly and if possible with someone else that is neutral to you both present. It sounds like there is something more to this - at least on her part -with you.
  6. New RN, leaving after 6 months unprofessional?

    Do not give up the opportunity to travel to remain in a role you are unhappy in and have been since "day one" - I have never understood the "stay for a year even if you are miserable" thought process..employers realize that not every job is a good fi...
  7. I am not a new RN just new to dialysis..I have been an RN for 26 years. The 4/10's were part of the draw for me since it's full time hours..I am only hoping it won't be over 10 hour on a regular basis..seems like that is a common complaint from dialy...
  8. Moderate Sedation and GI

    My the GI doc I work with takies biopsies oe polyps he will tell me where he is taking them from..i.e. rectum, ascending colon..I document this in the EMR, the tech who is working w/him places them in specimens jars marked "A" "B" etc. Once the proce...
  9. Thank you for the replies...I am still on the fence about this offer...
  10. Moderate Sedation and GI

    I currently work a GI Endo job. Fent and Versed are used though occasional Demerol will be and depending on the case sometimes Phenergan is added. ASA 3 and 4 are not done in the clinic I work in. We document using EMR so there is no written order ot...
  11. How do you even get a job as a school nurse?

    Teaching jobs, educator jobs, school jobs | SchoolSpring This site lists nursing school jobs..it's not user friendly but the jobs are posted
  12. I am not proud of my track record.

    I am not sure the OP is for real..sounds very immature, lazy, self centered, almost middle school/teenager age who lives with a parent who is in healthcare and has heard stories...if the OP is for real - I don't think he/she will be licensed very lon...
  13. Gmc rn reaidency program 2017

    GMC was recently acquired by Northside hospital...there are several GMC locations, they were rated "C" by the hospital grading system in Ga a few months ago..there are many open positions and room for advancement. The residency programs require a nur...
  14. psych is so hard to break into...

    The VA hospitals and outpatient clinics have psych...maybe look here USAJOBS - The Federal Government's Official Jobs Site for one near you
  15. "I thought they liked me..."

    A coworker of mine (who is relatively new to nursing) is looking for a position where the schedule meets her families needs better than her schedule now. She applied for and interviewed for a position where the hiring manager was VERY persistent in c...
  16. "I thought they liked me..."

    I agree about the quota ect but it still wasted her time and caused her to lose time at her current job..yes, that's the risk she runs, as we all do when looking for a job while employed elsewhere, however, a 3 hour intervie wthen a 2 hour interview....
  17. "I thought they liked me..."

    I will clarify..unprofessional meaning not responding to tell the person they have not been selected - to me that is no different than them offering her the position and her ignoring them. They may need to move on but often times a candidate hold out...
  18. Hard Truth of Nursing

    I agree with everything you wrote. Like you, I started working on a med/surg unit, dappled in other flavors of nursing & obtained an M.S. on top of my BSN and experience went into management. Yes, the money was excellent but it was 24/7/365 &...
  19. Eastern Colorado New grad opportunities

    Contact the Colo. BON to see what they require for licensure..that is step 1. Step 2, google hospitals in the area you want to live then go to their web sites or call their HR for information about degree requirements..
  20. No. Nope. Nada.
  21. Attn New Grads @ Northside/Piedmont

    Northside has purchased Gwinnett Medical Center..the acquisition should be completed by the end of this year..GMC is new grad friendly and offers new grads residences..you may want to look at there. Piedmont has acquired Athens Regional Medical Cent...
  22. Many hospitals in Florida hire only BSNs that may be some of the issue w/your husband not hearing back - LTC and home health will hire AD RN's...I think the biggest reason you aren't hearing anything is because you don't already live in Florida......
  23. My advice, from having lived and worked in Florida for almost 20 yrs, is you both need to be licensed in Florida before applying and with the job market as tight as it is, maybe already living there..another option is to be licensed and go travel age...
  24. I personally would not divulge the information, and I speak from experience unless you had an issue at work that caused some harm to a patient, etc. seeking treatment for depression/anxiety is no different than seeking treatment for any other illness...
  25. Pros and cons of psych nursing?

    Re: the verbally or physically abusive/aggressive/violent patient..they are NOT limited to psych units..the hospital I last worked at the ER got patients (and family members) behaving like this all the time for various reasons, other units, including...
