  1. Just let me be...

    milobust replied to WldChrry's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm an RN and I don't let anyone make me feel like the OP feels so I don't understand why she feels a need to vent if she didn't allow others to put her down. LPNs and RNs have overlapping...

  2. New Grad RN need not apply

    milobust replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First, with regards to the undertones and overtones: I'm not sure how much clearer I can make my opinion. Second, I have gone a lot longer than the OP without getting even an interview so I know where...

  3. New RN in LTC...is that a good idea?

    milobust replied to m5nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Don't get discouraged. It sounds like you did the right thing for yourself and the residents. I had to walk away from my first position as well because I was not comfortable with being the only nurse...

  4. How many New Grads from 2009 still don't have jobs?

    milobust replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    I had the best luck with hospitaljobsonline.com and literally went through each Texas (you can specify your state) hospital (almost 400) on the list until I found specific jobs for new grads (very few...

  5. New Grad RN need not apply

    milobust replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OP, I've read some of your previous posts and, with all due respect, I DON'T think you should be a nurse. I would not want someone with your attitude caring for anyone. Many of us on the site have...

  6. Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    milobust replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure your wrote this post out of frustration but with all due respect your wasting energy on this lawsuit idea when you should be getting creative with your job search. Once you find a job I'm...

  7. What to do?

    milobust replied to violet_violet's topic in General Nursing

    "They are always looking for people"= HUGE red flag. I worked in a similar place and ended up having to leave due to unacceptable working conditions. I would take the hospital job, hands

  8. Am I stupid for giving this up?

    milobust replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I felt the same way for the first week or so but it got better. I did usually have aides to help me. Are you always gonna have aides to assist you? Are you on your own? For me it was all my nerves, I...

  9. When to know to quit...

    milobust replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished calling my two weeks notice to my DON and decided to check the site for similar stories to make me feel better and I literally think we work at the same facility. I have never been so...

  10. LPN??? RN???

    milobust replied to dorothyrose's topic in General Nursing

    Find out your place on the "waiting list" if they have one, finish your prereqs and if you have your lpn you should only have a year to go to get your rn and at least youll have exp under your belt....

  11. Any body had to redo nursing school?

    milobust replied to hermity's topic in General Nursing

    There will ALWAYS be reasons to quit. I could have walked away so many times and no one would have blamed me but I didn't and am now on my way to a new career, a new life in a new city and much more...

  12. PTO - how much do you get at your hospital?

    milobust replied to Lola77's topic in General Nursing

    Thats sounds really low. I average 208 per year based no 8 hrs per 2

  13. Negotiate pay

    milobust replied to micmurph's topic in General Nursing

    I was told by an instructor that nurses should move to a new position every 1-2 years and take advantage of the increased pay when taking a new position. He said as a nurse manager when he hired...

  14. Is 53k for school worth it?

    milobust replied to Dragonsmack's topic in General Nursing

    New grads in TX are having a horrible time finding work. I would be very suspicious of their claims of job

  15. No one told me....

    milobust replied to Reese17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have plantar facsitis and it sounds pretty similar to what you've described. I am now using arch supports, hopefully it will

  16. It's official. I got a job!

    milobust replied to cokeforbreakfast's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats!! I just accepted a position at a small private hospital and the 3 months it took to get one interview seemed like a lifetime. Good

  17. Care Aide work vs. RN work?

    milobust replied to Maddi_Rose's topic in General Nursing

    RN's sometimes may not do as much "aide work" as lpn's or cna's but the RN is responsible for the overall care of the patient and interpreting the patient's changes in BP, breathing rate, temp, etc is...

  18. Ignorance is bliss

    milobust replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I completely sympathize, I didnt get a phone call for months and I basically lucked into a position. To me the shortage is "experienced nurses" and not new nurses. Best of

  19. seeking employment

    milobust replied to brecrazy's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in Dec of 09 and just barely got a position(basically becuase a male nurse was desperatley needed) and my best advice would be to apply all over the state. I am moving to a new town and am...

  20. Newbie Needs Advice

    milobust replied to jennm11's topic in General Nursing

    What helped start making A's was to determine what class you will be taking right after a break (summer, holiday, spring break) and read a seperate study guide pertaining to that subject. There are...

  21. Working during nursing school

    milobust replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you that when I worked 30 hours a week in nursing school it seemed like the worst time of my life but I had to do it and made A's. Don't get me wrong though, some days you'll wish you were...

    milobust replied to Vines812's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently looking for my first position and the majority of the jobs I've seen have an emphasis on "experience" above all

  23. Feeling weird about graduating

    milobust replied to Peeker19's topic in General Nursing

    I felt the same way but graduating five months ago and not getting a single interview changed my attitude from "I want to work where I am gonna be happy" to "I just want to work". Luckily I have had...

  24. Need advice. ADN or BSN. Pls help!

    milobust replied to Vines812's topic in General Nursing

    I just received my 2 year degree and am looking for a job. If I had gone the BSN route I would have another year or more before I could start earning money. I am enrolled in a BSN program now but I...

  25. Overwhelmed Student

    milobust replied to NursingStudentStephy's topic in General Nursing

    I am a newly licensed nurse and in my first year of school I very honestly asked my teacher if it was normal to be scared to death I was gonna make a mistake every time I went to clinical and she...
