  1. I feel like I'm in a living hell

    Marshall1 replied to sk1977's topic in Nursing Career

    First, your husband is not the one having to get up and go to a job he hates - you are - so his "putting his foot down" is not really relevant - NO ONE can MAKE you stay in a career, job, etc for the...

  2. Brenau University Part time BSN Spring 2015

    Marshall1 replied to 14Nurse's topic in Georgia Nursing

    My undergrad (BSN) and Grad degree are both from Brenau. It's competitive, expensive and welllll worth the effort to get into the program and make it through. Love everything about Brenau. You will...

  3. Selling products to Patients?

    Marshall1 replied to Pmpkn's topic in Home Health

    I personally feel this is inappropriate for a variety of reasons. I would talk to her directly and/or whomever your manager is and flat out ask if she is selling the stuff and take it from there. I...

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

    Um..yeah...anyone can post the definition of assault....and as someone who has been a nurse for decades and married to a law enforcement officer for the same period of time I can say that the OP...

  5. Nursing school help! What to do...

    Marshall1 replied to sarahness's topic in Aesthetics

    You won't be able to avoid bodily fluids in nursing school/clinicals - after you graduate you can look for positions where you would not have contact w/them - ob/gyn would not be one of them because...

  6. LPN job market in ATL

    Marshall1 replied to LVNbayarea's topic in Georgia Nursing

    My advice is this: have your Ga license in place and if possible, live in Ga before applying. There are a lot of nurses looking for jobs and honestly, the employer I'm with now will not even look at a...

  7. Looking for advice

    Marshall1 replied to sunnyshine1989's topic in General Nursing

    Traveling, if you have that option, would be a great idea since you aren't sure which of the 3 places you would like to live - you could possibly, get a travel assignment to each of them at some point...

  8. Fired for refusing??

    Marshall1 replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hep vaccine was optional for school and employment as the flu shot has been as well. I did get the Hep vaccine but was not "forced" to by

  9. Job offer rescinded? What did I do wrong?

    Marshall1 replied to Pandora6212's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree w/others - extremely unprofessional of them..would be curious to know if the LPN is related to the MD - if not, she certainly seems to have a lot of influence over him/his practice....hope...

  11. Davita Acute Nurse Interview

    Marshall1 replied to five10fevr's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I interviewed and also waited over a week - finally contacted the person who was handling things and found out the position had been filled internally so if I suggest

  12. if you hate nursing, what would you rather do instead?

    Marshall1 replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    I don't hate nursing...don't think I was "born" to be a nurse either...but..I am where I am and if money were not an issue I would leave nursing and work with animals..open a no-kill shelter or open a...

  13. Dialysis Shift Change Chaos

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

    I have no advice but will say this about one thing you wrote...if a patient makes another appt. that is close to their dialysis time (or any other medical procedure time not just a dialysis patient)...

  14. forgetfulness and work anxiety

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

    You answered your own question actually - you are burned out - you know it and it's taking it's toll. Good idea to ask for your hours to be cut and to look for something else. Being proactive to...

  15. Davita Acute Nurse Interview

    Marshall1 replied to five10fevr's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Have you had your interview yet? How did it

  16. Davita Ddialysis Nurse

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

    I have had an interest in dialysis for sometime and come to this area (dialysis specialty) of allnurses from time to time to see if anything is changes...always hesitate to pursue a dialysis position...

  17. Health Dept. pay and work enviroment

    Marshall1 posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    I've been contacted to interview for a health dept. FT RN position...it's M-F with one day being a little longer and Fri. being the shorter day...the hourly rate is a little over $17/hr...I knew...

  18. Health Dept. pay and work enviroment

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Public, Community Health

    No, I did not accept it - the pay was too low given the hours/benefits that were offered. The pay has not changed since my original post and the position is still advertised every few months along...

  19. Need some advice

    Marshall1 replied to anb752's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Sounds like depression...trying to get a "thicker skin" isn't the answer and you have been a nurse for some time now so you know some coworkers can be easy to get along with, some not..anyway..if your...

  20. malicious coworkers

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

    Have you thought about asking your supervisor to meet with you and this nurse together? I would not suggest talking to this nurse w/o someone present - I worked, years ago, with a nurse similar to...

  21. Frustrated and burned out rookie nurse. Please advise!

    Marshall1 replied to Veronica.c's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    Is there an Ombudsman you can contact? Sounds like there is a lot at this facility that needs looking at and based on your posts I agree w/the others, find another job. If you aren't comfortable...

  22. Davita recruiters

    Marshall1 replied to ffliper27's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Sounds like enough time has passed...though some on here may disagree w/me, I suggest contacting the person who last interviewed you and tell him/her you have not heard anything and the recruiter is...

  23. absolutely burnt out with my job

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

    Look for another job, call out sick - whatever you need to do to get your breathing room - from your post, to be honest, I would not want someone who feels like you do caring for my loved one in a...

  24. Trying to still love my profession

    Marshall1 replied to cowsmoo2's topic in Health, Stress Management

    As a past employee of the VA I can tell you that if push comes to shove, the VA is going to side w/the NP over an LPN. MD's and NP are needed too badly in the VA - right or wrong - that's how the...

  25. Job Interview: Phone Not Ringing

    Marshall1 replied to allnurses's topic in Nursing Career

    Where I live this seems to happen a lot nurses - regardless of their experience or degree...someone I work with now had an interview back in Dec, was invited to "shadow" a week later, a week later was...
