1. Looking in Scottsdale, AZ

   jlbic replied to stephaniep05's topic in Arizona Nursing

   Mayo Clinic hospital. Scottsdale is very nice, but very snobby. Make sure it is somewhere you think you might be able to fit into. I, myself, could not even stand going to nursing school there, much...

   Now that you mention it... that baby does look kinda saudi arabian.

4. ICU Stepdown workload

   jlbic replied to rotteufel's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, that really sucks. I worked step-down for a couple years, started off in PHX on a cardiac step-down that was awesome. I miss that job. Then moved to Colorado to work in another cardiac...

5. Backstabbing/Gossip in Nursing School

   "Wow, this is almost completely opposite from my experience. My class has a majority of people who are supportive. People who struggled to get Cs were happy as hell for others who got As and vice...

   jlbic replied to silverhalide's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   Welcome to the world of nursing! haha....I have to honestly say, and some people may be offended, but at least its honest....nursing politics are so catty. I am guessing it stems from the fact that...

7. Why am I feeling this way?

   jlbic replied to grateful2010's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Well, what kind of RN job scares you? In this economy, you don't really have your pick of jobs like we did a few years ago... I think its normal to have fears. Being a new grad RN is hard in any...

8. Nurses Get No Respect

   jlbic replied to KaroSnowQueen's topic in General Nursing

   I couldn't agree more. I just left the hospital/bedside to work as an RN case manager for a TPA for insurance providers and I finally feel like I am respected as a registered nurse. It may not be...

10. "Graduating & Not Ready"

    jlbic replied to nursinggurl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Not to be rude, but you certainly seem a little on your "high horse". I don't think it is up to you to determine whether or not people are "ready" for nursing in the real world. Remember, you are...

13. Have you been assaulted by a patient?

    jlbic replied to CrabbyPatty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ive had it happen a few times. Mostly confused patients or ETOH W/D pts. I think nursing in acute care puts RNs in a very likely position to be "assaulted". Most times I don't think it has to do...

    jlbic replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have to disagree with your post. The reality is, the ECONOMY sucks. There will continue to be a large demand for nursing for a looong time....especially since the baby boomers are close to...

15. Moving out of hospital bedside nursing

    jlbic replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    I did not go back to school, they hired me with the experience I have clinically and are training me. At some point I might get my CM cert. if I feel it is the right fit for me. Just look up insurance...
