  1. Best way to find a nursing job in the US ?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Sailor Nurse's topic in International Nursing

    I don't mean to be depressing, but I refuse to sugar coat either, know what I mean? I think its cruel to continue to perpetuate the myth of a nursing shortage when that is clearly no longer the case....

  2. Best way to find a nursing job in the US ?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Sailor Nurse's topic in International Nursing

    In regards to your original post, I'm not sure where you got the idea that a law office would help in a job search for a nurse, that's not how it's usually done here. Also, it is very costly for...

  3. Best way to find a nursing job in the US ?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Sailor Nurse's topic in International Nursing

    I can't advise about the best route to go as far as obtaining a visa, but I can tell you this: THERE IS NO NURSING SHORTAGE IN THE US. Anyone who is telling you this is full of tomato soup (as my...

  4. Nicotine & Work

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to applesxoranges's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I really hate when people play the discrimination card. News flash! Smokers (or tobacco users of any sort) are NOT a protected class of citizens. If you don't hire a person based on their sex,...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, I switched from working in dentistry for MANY years before going to nursing school. I'm not sure why you'd say dental hygiene is

  6. Fired from first job. Now what???

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to TrulyBlessed13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Were you signing off that you DID do treatments when you really did not, or just flat out didn't do them. Because one is FAR worse than the

  7. Where are all of the jobs hiding?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Kaysmom8's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Nurses don't want to work in Iowa because the pay sucks. I mean it, on the list of best to worse salary for nurses, Iowa is 49!QUOTE=jlpolec;7699213]If you really really want a nursing job, either...

  9. LPN Student in RN Clinical

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to RNgrrl09's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    "Struggling to find clinical sites". Um that right there. I'm thinking lying to them about the status of a student and breaking down the trust factor MAY have something to do with why some schools...

  10. Don't feel sorry for me because I work in long term care...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to rose-n-arrows's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yep, anyone who tells you that you'll lose your skills doesn't know what they're talking about! I'm on the rehab side of a SNF and not a day goes by that I'm not using assessment/critical thinking...

  11. what US states don't require SSN to issue license

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Alyvo's topic in Nurse Registration

    This sounds like a great response. I'll be honest and say that questions about how to get a nursing license without having to do "X" (have a SSN, pass an English test, etc) makes suspect about a...

  12. failed nclex 3x foriegn grad bsnrn

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to blue101's topic in Nurse Registration

    What does "coz" mean? Is that a real word that I'm unaware

  13. Where are all of the jobs hiding?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Kaysmom8's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Unfortunately, this seems to be the rule rather than the exception. If your school pounded it into your head that there was a nursing shortage, they lied. It makes me sad to hear of new grads coming...

  14. No opinions please just facts

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to wheresmyrights's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Oh hayle no. I'd like to think that even those responders who feel weed should just be straight up legal feel that way

  15. Anyone working Pediatric Home Care?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Baubo516's topic in Private Duty

    This will probably sound nit-picky, but your "tag line" says you have two years of nursing experience, specializing in SNF/Rehab. Do you truly have the two years of nursing experience? Because then...

  16. New Grad with criminal record

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to chenry28054's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    What do you mean "set up and fired"? This might mean the difference between including it on a resume and not. NOTE, I said resume, not

  17. INOVA fairfax hospital

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to obgyngirl's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No advice, but good luck! We're relocating to NoVA soon and I'll be looking to job hunt after awhile, INOVA interests me

  18. No opinions please just facts

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to wheresmyrights's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My facility tests upon hire, and that seems to be it. Just this week we had a pipe freeze and burst and I slipped and fell, landing on my back and smashing my head against the tile floor. My boss...

  19. No opinions please just facts

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to wheresmyrights's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    So in Nebraska, would the possession of weed be considered a criminal act? Or the purchasing of said product? Forget about what consequences you could face with your CNA certificate, doesn't the...

  20. Are LPNs dying out?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to smartiipants's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In my corner of the world LPN's mostly work in SNF or PDN. It used to be that a hospital in this area would replace any leaving LPN with an RN, but the most local hospital recently offered any...

  22. BLS manditory to renew RN lisence?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to gardeningfool's topic in Michigan Nursing

    In my state, if you don't have a current CPR certification, you don't have a valid nursing license, plain and simple. More than a little scary that this isn't the

  23. Help Please,How to Become Private Duty Nurse!!!!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LaMeshaMiller's topic in General Nursing

    Have you worked PDN at all, or are you wanting to start from scratch? I would suggest hiring on with an agency if you've never done it before, so you know what the job entails before hanging out your...

  24. What is more reccomendable for nurses now a days?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Gaby_rmz77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It seems that many facilities are going to solid scrubs, either head to toe in the same color one color on top, another for the bottoms. Color-coding seems to be roaring into vogue too. I'd wait and...

  25. Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
