  2. Degrees That Employers Want

    This is what the OP is posting about..yahoo and others encouraging people to get degrees in health care, does not matter really what degree as there is enough work for ALL!!! No wonder the general public does not get it.. Nurses can have any job,, an...
  3. Never put her down, what she is allowed to say and what she really will say are two different things. Do not chance it. Put house super visor,, that is not a lie and at interview if any questions come up just say house supervisor said putting him was...
  4. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    I just have to make a comment.. just my 2cents worth...Any school that you go to that is online comes with a diploma that is like Brick and mortar schools and it is becoming common knowledge the online schools tend to be harder. That said, explain t...
  5. How long to stay at a job you don't like?

    As in all honesty your current job is not adding to your skills, I would think it would be in your best interest to start looking. Wanting hands-on when many are looking for opposite should help you. Best of luck:redbeathe
  6. In the spirit of recent optimism, what is your true love?

    My first love is my son. He was born with a virus and ended up with unusual learning disabilities. Never phased him, he thought it was the teacher who was slow. He did excellent in math and science yet could barely read. He ran interference between d...
  7. what color is your ink?

    Last 18 months have been told blue, all is blue as then they can tell what is original, copies are so good now you ane not tell the difference. Noticed attorneys and banks have switched to blue also.
  8. Offensive Portrayal of Nurses in Ocean City, New Jersey?

    It is fun, not meant to be demeaning...a publicity stunt to increase tourism, and increased tourism could mean more business for your hospital. Really there are many causes you could do lots of good work for.
  9. can they say I was terminated?

    This is not true in every state included many right to work states. You should check laws in your state,:)
  10. Anxiety getting the best of me....

    I have dealt with anxiety my whole life. After I had kids I dealt with it by screaming alot!! In my mind I was telling my self to stop but did not know how, I am also perfectionist. I graduated nursing school with top honors,,never had any problems,u...
  11. Intro and disability issues

    How are things going now?:)
  12. Venting about job search...Has anyone experienced this?

    Could you go visit HR or the hospital in person? Harder to ignore you when you are standing there.. Just a thought:)
  13. PRN but haven't worked in 8 months!

    This happened to me in home health job once. Census dropped I got no calls.. I figured they auto termed me but I had to speak to corp HR not long ago about a work data dn they told me I was still active and it had been over a yr. They had me call new...
  14. Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

    If OP works in US as a RN then she should be held to same accountability as anyone, no matter where she is from. I can understand she may not understand unemployment but frankly 1/2 of America probably does not. And frankly I do not believe we are ge...
  15. Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

    Also unless you worked prior to this 7 months, I believe you would not get unemployment anyway as you do not have enough quarters worked. So appeal it and find out their real reason. Even if you missed too much work as long as you called in .... you ...
  16. Nurse Licensure Compact

    That is it in a nutshell:D
  17. Contract Issue

    Just for the record......OP's original post does not state whether $10,000 was paid up front or to be paid back if she did not complete contract. Still wonder how someone can decide such a thing in less that 11 days.
  18. Contract Issue

  19. Contract Issue

    Sorry, never even thought of that. OP, is that the case? I am older and never encountered this paying for orientation and training stuff. I guess if that is the case the hospital might not charge the entire 10,000 for her less than 2 weeks. I suppos...
  20. I am HIRED!!! Labor and Delivery Nurse To BE!

    My advice is to keep your eyes wide open, listen and learn.. Ask questions, ask to get your hands in on things. Do not be shy, or lazy. Ask to join in. Find several mentors even if you are assigned one.. L&D nurses tend not to call the doctors ti...
  21. Contract Issue

    Not only did you spend the money that fast?? How can you know you hate your job in less than 11 days?? I know you did not work every day either.. You don even know what you job is in this period of time!!! I mean get real! And if you are this immatur...
