Look into school nursing..................you barely ever have to talk to a doctor. You do have a clinical nursing director though.

I have never heard of monitoring for a pharmaceutical company. What does the job entail? How do you find out about them? I enjoy paperwork....I used to be a Materials and Processes engineer at General Dynamics in a previous life.....

I'm right in the center of Fort Worth. I really don't want to go to another city because I would need up front money which I don't have. I've sent a resume to Care Now twice with no response. I have worked in the OR, med-surg, home health, school, an...

I disagree with your Einstein comment/quote. Reagan used the military and strategic buildup of weaponry (preparation) to stop the cold war and destroy communism without a shot being fired. In this case the best defense for the United States and the w...

Glad to know that I'm not the only one that knows the scoop in Texas.....there's not enough of a nursing shortage here for employers not to have their nose in the air and be EXTREMELY picky. Age discrimination is almost impossible to prove. I realize...

You may have been lucky.....but in my life WHENEVER I do anything wrong I always get caught...some kind of karma thing....I don't know. I also don't like to lie or omit, it just bugs me. Except when someone asks you how they look...you tell them fine...

But she has to mention her last two jobs because every application now says that if any section is judged to be untrue or incomplete they can fire you on the spot. So either way you are hosed. I'm going through this right now, too. Plus age discrimin...

I wish they would have worked with me, but they wouldn't. Thanks for the kind words. I guess the hospitals and agencies here in Texas don't feel like they have to work with you. Since I'm not a specialty nurse it's much more competitive.

Group One is like the IRS audit of nursing......I've been blackballed by them once already in 1996.....managed to get another job....but it's definitely not that easy this time. Major pity party here...what I don't like is going on interviews and th...

Where near cowtown? Also wandering RN I know exactly how you feel......I haven't worked in nursing since March had two short term jobs since last December.....fired from both.... feel like you.....doubting myself, etc. Have even applied for jobs I d...

Thank you very much!!!!!

How did you get the Tigger under your screen name?

And this is such a big deal because.... Did it hurt the patient in any way???? I can think of a lot worse things than this.

Dixiecup, I know what you mean. I haven't been the benefactor of understanding supervisors either. Just a series of bad breaks. I just wish I didn't like nursing so much.

I agree with ktwlpn, you did what you could. There are so many sad/tragic situations exacerbated by alcohol.......I think grief counseling would help you.....

:) :balloons: What keeps coming to my mind are the words of a couple of hymns...."for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I've committed unto him against that day...." and "Blessed assurance Jesus is mine, ...

Discott,You said it very well......I do not have the skills with words that you do....yesterday someone said that believing because of fear is a trivial reason.....but my opinion is whatever reason gets you to believe in Jesus is the right one. I jus...

It does matter who is right or wrong. The Bible says, "I (Jesus) am the way, the truth, and the life, NO MAN comes to the Father but BY ME. That means sinners or saints, good or bad, and there will be a judgement where the Book of Life will be opened...

I'll be controversial. I'm definitely one of the "foolish" believers. The Bible says, 'Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe ...

Yea, and people that call Alzheimers disease, Old Timers. And sometimes people that mispronounce are well educated and they still continue to mispronounce even when it's brought to their attention. Another one I can't stand is - orientate - wrong, it...

Yes, and I don't like the fact that healthcare professionals are supposed to be perfect, while other professions don't have to be perfect. We aren't allowed to be regular imperfect humans, no way that would be possible.

The only bad thing is that he lives so far away from me. I haven't seen him since Christmas. Both of his parents are in the military...... Where do you live? How old are you?

Did you write it down anywhere? If not, I still think it would be better to keep it on the QT. You can't change it now it's been too many hours. A little less insulin is better than too much. I've had many more problems in my 12 years of nursing with...

#1 It's too late to do it now so don't go and confess.... just remember it for the future. #2 It's better for the blood sugar to be a little high than too low. #3 In the future if you make a mistake like this just take the patients blood sugar again ...
