  1. I had my interview and now I'm worried

    himilayaneyes replied to NerdyNurse24's topic in General Nursing

    My job doesn't run background checks until the position has actually been offered. Then it's offered on the condition that you pass your background check and drug test. I understand what you're going...

  2. Just Had To Share :)

    himilayaneyes replied to lpn-ny's topic in General Nursing

    When he said "Oh great" perhaps you should have said "This is the voice of God." What type of answering service is he

  3. RN to BSN: SAT?

    himilayaneyes replied to Capable1's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with pp. They'll want your college

  4. Hospital Politcs

    himilayaneyes replied to ttpurtee's topic in General Nursing

    There are politics in every profession including nursing. Some nurses go on break for an hour while you only get your 30 minutes. Some consistently take or give report late and leave late...but still...

  5. So what would you do in this situation?

    himilayaneyes replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    You definitely don't want to burn bridges. So this situation with your new DON not wanting to give you at least 2 weeks for your notice makes me a little wary. But if you really want this job, then do...

  6. Annoyed- Surgical Tech does NOT equal Nurse!

    himilayaneyes replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    Love the astronaut thing...hilarious. People definitely throw around the term nurse too lightly. You hear secretaries calling themselves nurses b/c they work at a hospital or MD office...you feel like...

  7. Scope of Practice Question

    himilayaneyes replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the previous two posts. It's one thing for you to do this to a family member at home...it's another thing to do it to a

  8. Veteran nurses give your opinion of the new grad job situation

    himilayaneyes replied to RachH's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is to first get that hospital job if you can and work it for at least a year to get your foundation b/c when you become a school nurse...it'll be you all alone...you have to know your stuff....

  9. Staff nurses and their bad attitudes

    himilayaneyes replied to ShellyRSRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As someone who has worked both days and nights, I understand what you're going through. Sometimes night nurses can be just as mean as day nurses asking how come you didn't get the one stool when you...

  10. Don't know what to do.....

    himilayaneyes replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    First off congrats on becoming a LPN. However, 2 jobs isn't that much. I know it's discouraging, but you have to keep going. I don't know how many jobs you applied for, but you need to apply to every...

  11. Was nursing really for me?

    himilayaneyes replied to nativehunny's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have to leave nursing just b/c you don't want to work weekends or holidays...unless of course you just don't want to be a nurse. There are many options out there. Home health. MD office....

  12. New Grad Dilemma

    himilayaneyes replied to nurse_kv's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is recommended that anybody in dialysis have some type of critical care experience. Most dialysis nurses I know were critical care nurses. However, 17 months w/o a stable job is a long time. I...

  13. discouraged obnurse

    himilayaneyes replied to marcirnc's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with the pp. I suggest you work for some agencies....that'll give you the hospital experience you

  14. work 1 day week, 8 hours, is it possible?

    himilayaneyes replied to otherendeavors's topic in Nursing Career

    If you're already a nurse, I suggest you work per-diem somewhere or even better for a staffing agency. Most staffing agencies require you to work once every 90 days while a lot of per-diem placed...

  15. Taking NCLEX-RN in 2 days! Can you all give me suggestions

    himilayaneyes replied to Irock's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    2 days before the test. Even most strategy type study guides such as Kaplan recommend that you don't study the day before the test, but rather go out and have fun (don't get drunk of course, but go to...

  16. new job as a new nurse and I am 11 weeks pregnant, Tell them now or wait?

    himilayaneyes replied to cgilmour26's topic in General Nursing

    What I suggest is that you say nothing for now. Pass your 90 day probation, then get FMLA. Once you get FMLA put in for your maternity leave. They can't fire you for being pregnant..that's...

  17. Choosing a LTC/SNF to work at as a new nurse

    himilayaneyes replied to kari2009's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You sound like you have good plan...so I think you answered your own question. Also try the following sites to compare Snfs. Hospital Compare - Compare Care Quality |

  18. Got a call for interview, but had applied 8 months back

    himilayaneyes replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

    7 months at a job is a decent time, although most employers like to see you stay for at least a year. If it's an internal transfer, then 6 months on the med-surg floor is long enough. However, if it...

  19. Frustrated Charge Nurse

    himilayaneyes replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a charge nurse so I can't give you any advice as far as that. I know that a lot of times nurses have a lot of experience but don't want the responsibility of being charge nurse, but someone...

  20. CNA's on your floor?

    himilayaneyes replied to nursingal32's topic in General Nursing

    If a CNA is lazy, even a checklist won't help. CNAs know to clean the patient, change the sheets, empty the foleys, etc. If someone has poor work ethic it isn't going to change b/c of a checklist....

  21. "W5: The fight for medical information after patients die"

    himilayaneyes replied to futureRN_Anastasia's topic in General Nursing

    This situation is a crying shame. Maybe the hospitals in Canada think that they don't owe the citizens there anything since they have socialized medicine...but their taxes pay for the hospitals. I...

  22. New Grad RN, 17 weeks pregnant with upcoming interview

    himilayaneyes replied to skschultzRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wouldn't tell them. Cover up, get the job, pass your 90 day probation, get fmla, then take your maternity leave when it's time. Make sure you get FMLA to protect your job. Plus, I'm curious...are...

  23. Tommorrow I'm "On my own" !!!

    himilayaneyes replied to iridius's topic in General Nursing

    Well it's normal to feel nervous. No one expects you to know everything as a new nurse or as a competent experienced nurse. They do expect you to use your resources though (charge nurse, policy and...

  24. Dilantin (phenytoin) & food/enteral feedings?

    himilayaneyes replied to iridius's topic in General Nursing

    This question is better asked to a

  25. Should I stay or should I go?

    himilayaneyes replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    You ask something that in reality is very simple. Here's a biblical principle...let the peace of God be your guide...sometimes we ask God and others what we should do...when in fact He's already...
