  2. Help choosing-Home Health or Dialysis?

    Marshall1 replied to JennyMac's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Read through other posts and research about Fresenius, Davita and others. The hours are extremely long which is why the burn out rate is so high, turn over is high and they are always hiring. Many...

    Marshall1 replied to enigma2441's topic in Florida Nursing

  5. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Marshall1 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You chose a school knowing that religion was a HUGE part of it...prestigious or not...so to complain about the religious aspect when you knew going in it had a Cathedral etc seems a bit absurd. If you...

    Marshall1 replied to jmillerbtec's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Yes, it's possible but you will, as others have posted, need support such as non-pharmacological and possibly pharmacological means to help you. You are not the first, nor will you be the last nurse...

  8. Nurses, how do you view your job?

    Marshall1 replied to 8*P23J's topic in General Nursing

    ThePrincessBride, BSN, RN - I agree with you 1000 percent...I will would also like to add new nurses (a year or less) are by and large going to view nursing MUCH differently than they will in 5 years,...

  9. Preemployment drug screen

    Marshall1 replied to Gc738315's topic in New York Nursing

  10. Going to the VA

    Marshall1 replied to ORNurseinNM's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for the VA - an outpatient clinic, in another state. The pay/benefits were good, enjoyed working with the Vets but the "system" is very different, very frustrating as patients wait literally...

  11. Ambulance transfer service name suggestions?

    Marshall1 replied to BIGT68's topic in General Nursing

    What about just "ATS" stands for what the company is: ambulance transfer service. This shortens the name, also places this company at the top of phone lists that are alphabetically

  12. Going back to the floor

    Marshall1 replied to ERBSNRN1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I only know of 1 nurse that was placed in IPN..she ended up being terminated because she would not follow the program - the hospital tried working with her (this was in Florida). If you haven't heard...

  13. Going back to the floor

    Marshall1 replied to ERBSNRN1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Marshall1 replied to Collegegirl94's topic in General Nursing

    You can always get your Masters in Health Care Administration or similar. You do not HAVE to be a nurse to get into healthcare management. Really, there is no wrong choice, each will take you down a...

  15. I confess...I'm a nurse who doesn't want to work in a hospital again

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    I started this thread in 2012..didn't go back into the hospital then..but made the mistake of going back earlier this year. Big mistake for me. I have accepted a M-F position that will require...

  19. How much of a pay cut is worth the name and experience?

    Marshall1 replied to mooshgigila's topic in General Nursing

  20. Would you dare leave a job you love?

    Marshall1 replied to cardiologynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Finding a job you love, especially in nursing, is rare - or at least where I live it is. You said you are relocating in 2 yrs - a lot can change in 2 weeks let alone 2 years so I wouldn't really base...

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