    SoilderNurse22, you remind me of a typical person who finds pleasure in degrading other people and arguing about stuff that isn't even on topic. If you want to proofread and correct grammar for a...

    SoilderNurse22, who do you think you are? Of course no one is perfect, especially once I prove it to you by showing you proof. If you can't say anything nice, it's best to just keep your comments to...

    I can't find anywhere in the grammatical rules that you should be using dashes every other word either, but you do it. So, until you become the perfect grammatical genius, you can just get off my...

    By the way, I happened to read some of your threads and it seems like you have a thing for this when you write ------- What's up with all the -dashes- in your posts?

    I am not here to be counseled on grammar or English skills. If you aren't going to discuss the issues that pertain to the subject matter of the posts, then don't comment at all. Anything else is just...

    Used to be, if a business was prospering and making a decent profit, they shared that with their employees by increases in wages, ect. Now, it's become a game of 'how much can we make, then how much...

    And don't even get me going on pensions...haha. My dad worked for a major candy company for 26 years and was promised a pension. Then 2 years ago they came along and told him he was getting cut...

    zack1110 replied to zack1110's topic in General Nursing

    Once again, that's all great and good to grow and prosper but when it starts affecting patient safety, it becomes a problem. Why don't you explain why the CEO of these hospital corporations are...

    zack1110 replied to zack1110's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more with this! Unfortunately, the only time most hospitals view under staffing as a problem is if there is a patient harm event, which they do their "root cause analysis" crap which...

    zack1110 replied to zack1110's topic in General Nursing

    I know I looked at a Recovery Room position and they actually wanted someone with a year of critical care experience. Once again, its that line of crap that we are fed in school that you should "get...

    Also, CCU is a great area to get a lot of experience and training. Given that CCU is probably one of the more difficult places to work (as far as skills are concerned) I would think going to a med...

    zack1110 replied to zack1110's topic in General Nursing

    I am choosing to leave critical care because I feel like it is too stressful for me, which is nothing that hasn't been felt before by many many nurses who couldn't handle the stress of that...

    Okay, I am glad that at least I found out some good information here. Its very rare that you can call human resources or a nurse manager where you have applied and they tell you the real reasons...

    To everyone who has commented on this post..... I want each of you to know that I am NOT in any way attacking you personally. I don't even know you personally, so I cannot judge you on that anyway....

    zack1110 replied to zack1110's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! It has nothing to do with ADN or BSN status, its about the program. There are good and bad programs with both. Personally, the hospital that I work for prefers graduates from the college I...

    Esme12, thank you for that post. Finally someone who is honest and just tells the truth. Everyone knows the inner workings of these corporations and all you have to do is follow the money trail in...

    zack1110 replied to zack1110's topic in General Nursing

    But if you aren't going to hire someone who isn't a "dream-candidate", then why waste their time and yours by advertising "minimum" requirements? If you want to be choosy about who you hire, that is...

    I have had students that come to do their externship with us in the unit. I have had an equal number of ADN and BSN students. I have found many of the BSN students who couldn't start a line, but...

    Well I am so happy that you found that job, even if you do have to drive 90 miles to get there. I'm surprised you couldn't land a job within walking distance given the fact that you seem like such a...
