  1. Should I quit nursing school?

    Marshall1 replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    If this is truly how you feel, I would switch now to a psychology degree - some of your classes should count. This is YOUR life not anyone else's - listen to YOUR gut. As for those who say people who...

  2. What would you have done?

    Marshall1 replied to chicago_RN's topic in Home Health

    Often time patients will refuse EMS because they are worried about a bill, neighbors "seeing" etc. In this case she was continuing to be compromised & at least EMS would've had the means to act if...

  3. What would you have done?

    Marshall1 replied to chicago_RN's topic in Home Health

    Called an ambulance & stayed w/the patient until EMS arrived. Too much could've gone wrong w/her family trying to take her to the ER (even 5 min away) plus there is all the down time to get her...

  4. Newly qualified - anxiety/hopelessness

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

    It is no wonder under the conditions you are working and expected to work sound horrendous. BUT YOU NEED TO GET SOME HELP with the anxiety/depression and suicidal thoughts you are having. NOW. There...

  5. Help? I regret this career choice?

    Marshall1 replied to katie6126's topic in General Students

    Home health agencies and hospices (at least in the area I live) hire nurses as marketers all time - in fact, most of the companies around here prefer an RN so that may be an area to look into. You...

  6. IV Certification HELP Jacksonville

    Marshall1 replied to jamielpn's topic in Florida Nursing

    I agree with Mishka70...I lived/worked in Florida (JAX area) many years. IV certification was not something the board required nor most employers - some preferred it and those that did (like Mayo,...

  7. Would HR not know if someone were ineligible for rehire?

    Marshall1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    A former coworker has reapplied for a position at the company I work for. HR is computerized at this company - from applying to reference checks to everything else. When the former coworker left he...

  8. My sisters wedding is when I'm in my 1st year of nursing school?

    Marshall1 replied to ateka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You aren't going to be dealing with the weddings 24/7..I don't understand a wedding being 2 weeks but that again is something individual to the person....2 weeks versus a life career choice...like...

  9. Fmla for depression/anxiety

    Marshall1 replied to baygrl11's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It's none of your coworkers business should you opt to take time off - that is between your boss and HR. I completely disagree with not being honest about why you are needing time off. You have...

  10. As an RN would you ever take a job as...

    Marshall1 replied to melme's topic in General Nursing

    You've anwered your own question...you want the job, you would enjoy the job, so take the job..and yes, RN's CAN work in the LPN capacity. And yes, if I were not needing money and it was a job I would...

  11. Have you started antidepressants since becoming a nurse?

    Marshall1 replied to Nola009's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have struggled with depression and anxiety since childhood..I have been on medication on and off over the years - before becoming a nurse and afterwards. I agree diet, therapy and similar things can...

  12. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    Marshall1 replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    If this email "shocked" the OP and little things shake the OP up (can't recall how the OP worded it) then nursing school is going to extra long and the real world of nursing is going to be a short...

  13. Switching to day shift blues

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

    By your post it sounds like you already know what you want to do and should do..which is stay where you are working nights. It doesn't sound like there is really any reason to change to days (i.e....

  14. ER nursing for established nurse with recent time off

    Marshall1 replied to jnf7882's topic in Emergency

    I'm in a similar situation..interviewed for an ER position a little over a week ago..the Director says she is moving forward with an offer and will be hearing from HR sometime this week..I too have...

  15. Support for field RNCM

    Marshall1 replied to nutella's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It sounds like you/other RN's are salary but are working over the 40 hour work

  16. Cut Throat Competition Makes Me Sick

    Marshall1 replied to westieluv's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I recently left a home health agency that also has hospice and this was one of the reasons. While I understand wanting continuity of care for a patient and in many ways it would make sense to...

  17. Salary for Southeast region and interview question

    Marshall1 posted a topic in Occupational Health

    All the threads for salary seem old on here so I would like to know if anyone is willing to share a general salary range for a plant/factory nurse in the southeast? Also, I had a phone interview and...

  18. Is there a secret to Emory

    Marshall1 replied to srg4784's topic in Georgia Nursing

    If I were you I'd try to find out exactly who the director is for the unit you want to work on and I would hand deliver my resume to that person's office along with a cover letter stating you have...

  19. Salary for Southeast region and interview question

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Occupational Health

    I declined the offer - after the 2nd interview - the salary is way too low for what the expectations for the position are (50K for FT M-F including call every night and every weekend)..I understand...

  20. Salary for Southeast region and interview question

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Occupational Health

    The interview was changed actually to next week as one of the people had to take emergency leave. I did ask the HR person about call and salary. He said that is discussed more in detail in the...
