    Neener_RNBSN posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Neener_RNBSN replied to Neener_RNBSN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you! I think I truly knew the answer in my heart, but I didn't want to do anything rash or in the heat of a frustrated moment. For my own health I need to get out. I see that now. I appreciate...

  5. preparing to work in the nursing home

    Neener_RNBSN replied to shatikaz's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well I think first and foremost I'd say try not to become overwhelmed. LTC is different than acute care. You will have dozens of patients to keep track of with various conditions. In the beginning it...

    Neener_RNBSN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi all...I could really use some words of wisdom. I graduated at the top of my class with a BSN in May 2009 and was an RN by August 09. Due to the horrible economy, I could not find a job (or even an...

    Neener_RNBSN replied to vayala3's topic in General Nursing

    You're right, SWS RN, I wasn't referring to Florida when I said I'd heard there were jobs in the South. I was told by a man who comes into the restaurant where I work--I believe he is from Georgia?...
