  1. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Don't feel bad. I have a BS, and an MA in skill tranfserable industries , in addition to my ADN. I'm a 2nd career RN (was wiped out of the other career due to automation). Went into debt for nursing...

  2. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    2 year RNs in my area have been completely locked out of the field. Its BSN required all over for hospitals now. LPNs are now being hired as unit managers in LTC, and staff RNs report to them. (yes, I...

  3. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in PA. The largest hospital system in my area spams the job boards with these ads constantly , with fake bonus propaganda in them, even though they have had a hiring freeze active for the last 2...

  4. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Hospitals and nursing homes were doing the same thing then, that they continue to do to this day. ADVERTISE jobs with sign on bonuses, but if you could find me even one nurse who actually collected...

  5. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    very true. I have seen lawyers appointed or elected to be judges, who have never tried a case, or even represented a client, but had the right connections. I have also seen LPNs who have opted away...

  6. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I find it ironic that the State of PA limits licenses for MDs to assure that there are never too many. This way, massive salaries continue. But they fail to do this for other licensed professions,...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I see both sides to the issue. But it is true, that we all have an ethical responsibility. The fat cats at the top of higher education, to to put the brakes on the 2 year RN programs, the accelerated...

  8. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    There was no shortage 20 years ago, but at that time, 2 year RNs were employable. We now have a nursing surplus. As of now, there is an overwhelming number of licensed nurses exceeding the available...

  9. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I was a second career RN, and had no idea that I was basically walking face first into a slow detonating time bomb. Not only was there no shortage 20 years ago, we have the opposite today, except now,...

  10. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    DITTO!! I am seeing a surplus of BSN new grads with no jobs, taking unpaid internships, tech jobs at Docs offices, LPN jobs in nursing homes or summer camps, or home care. Same with ADN RN new grads....

  11. Dear Nurse Manager, why won’t you hire dialysis nurses

    panurse9999 replied to Natkat's topic in General Nursing

    You are not alone. Its not you. I send out dozens of resumes. Sometimes I get an interview, sometimes not. I know I have been to more interviews that led nowhere , than most people. And I refuse to...

  12. Dear Nurse Manager, why won’t you hire dialysis nurses

    panurse9999 replied to Natkat's topic in General Nursing

    The nursing field has been saturated across the country by utilizing the false propaganda that we have all heard a gazillion times, and rolled our eyes a gazzillion plus 2 times ...the "nursing...

  13. And The Reason Nurses Don't Get Fired

    panurse9999 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhhhh...the chicken littles. Have you ever noticed in the nursing field that *** sticks to a wall when thrown, but all other things hit the floor? Why is that ? Its the 'you scratch my back, I'll...

  14. And The Reason Nurses Don't Get Fired

    panurse9999 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    This was a nursing home, and the nurse who ran off every single new hire was obviously high on meth, had fire-engine red bloodshot eyes every day, would giggle, scream and maniacal laugh so she could...

  15. And The Reason Nurses Don't Get Fired

    panurse9999 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    nurse did not get fired for blowing off a new hire she was supposed to train, but ignored completely during entire shift. Same nurse not fired for same conduct, when a different new hire leaves the...

  16. The Degrading "Meet and Greet"

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in Home Health

    I once worked on a case that had over 50 come and go over a 10 year period, and like the other 49, I was tossed after a period of time like a once used ziplock bag. Problem here, was that agency...

  17. The Degrading "Meet and Greet"

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in Home Health

    Exactly true. You take who you get. If there is some problem with the way the nurse performs her/ his duties, and has to be "non-returned" after a shift, then that is one thing. I have had the...

  18. Frustration & No RN Job Opportunities

    panurse9999 replied to LuvScrubs2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is true...it is a conspiracy, but its for ALL nurses, experienced or not. The well published "shortage of nurses" was only a myth designed to flood the market with nurses, so that hospitals and...

  19. Can a no-job RN work as a CNA??

    panurse9999 replied to jpt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am an RN working as a CNA in PA. I have been unable to find RN work in 2 years. The only reason I am still in healthcare is because McDonalds isnt hiring. I regret going into this 9 yrs...

    I have 8 years of RN experience and have been unemployed for the last 2 years. I am licensed in PA and NJ and I cant find work anywhere. I got out of school in the mad frenzy "nurse shortage" and...
