  3. I don't mean to be rude do sorry of this comes off that way. But as a non believer I respect every ones right to practice any religion they choose and It's their right to have your own believe system whatever it may be with out others judging them or...
  4. I'm atheist also, and used to work at a catholic hospital, whenever the pastor/reverend was on the unit he would offer to prey with all the staff, I just politly declined as did most the staff. If you happen to be in the room when a pt. or family wa...
  5. What are you looking for?

    I've had 5 interviews in the last few months, and haven't got any of the jobs...apparently I just suck at interviewing. I feel like when people hear that I work in home health I'm automatically put at the bottom of the list. I work 12 hour shifts, d...
  6. Intramuscular injection technique tips

    i agree with eveyone else, definatly dart, when i went to get the gardasil vaccine a few years ago the girl doing it went in super slow, then look at least 15-20 sec. to push the vaccine in, I was about to kick her it hurt soo bad.

  10. Clinical research coordinator

    Thank you! I applied for the job months ago, and they just called me in for an interview, but the job posting had already been taken down.
  11. I'm in a similar situation to you, 2010 RN, only have experience in home health, trying to find a job at a hospital. While the hospitals do hire you as an "experienced nurse", its because they can't label you as a new-grad anymore. All the interview...
  12. Just from reading you're post, my inital thought was you seem to have a lot more passion for working in a lab. I think nursing might be frustrating for you, not being able to go deeper into the science of it. In nursing school I was the one asking my...
  13. It's not you it's me

    How do you say it's not you it's me to your employer? I work as a home health nurse working nights. Most my patients I do very little to no nursing I'm no more than a glorified babysitter watching a kid sleep. I'm going insane! I just want to use my ...
  14. It's not you it's me

    I've been trying to get a job somewhere else since i started 2 years ago! I don't know whats wrong with me or my resume but I can not seem to get hired at a hospital or even a clinic. I'm so discouraged. At lease this year I've gotten a couple inter...
  15. It's not you it's me

    I ment to add that I really do like the families I work for. I just can't stand doing nothing all night
  16. RN's Is This The Best Way To Get.....

    I completely agree with you. I'm a newer nurse too (2 yes experience) but only in home health, I would LOVE to get experience in a hospital and try out ER, NICU, ,L&D, or even an outpatient clinic. But I can't even get my foot in the door becaus...
  17. Got fired need advice

    I wouldn't put that first job on your resume unless you really have to. Sounds like you have experience at another place for long enough that I wouldn't worry about it.
  18. Dietary policy- vent

    I have to disagree with most of you, I think food should be looked at as part of the treatment plan for patients, If it's a cancer patient who's wasting away or a 90 yr old on their death bed, then by all means eat as much and whatever you'd like. bu...
  19. What do CI nurses do?

    What does a informatics nurse do in day to day practice?
  20. RN to..Nutritionist? Fused position?

    Hi! I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering what you all ended up doing, and did you find a way to integrate nursing and nutrition? I've been an RN for 2 years in home health, and can't find a job anywhere else. I'm very bored at my job an...
  21. Childhood Obesity jobs

    Hi all, with the childhood obesity epidemic growing, you would think there would be more programs, clinics, research being done, in turn opening more jobs. I'm very interested in working in that specialty, but can't seem to find any jobs, or ever ...

  23. Wink Scrubs

    Does anyone wear Wink scrubs? Just wondering if they're worth buying because they're a little cheaper or if i should just stick to greys anatomy.
  24. Failed Med/Surg by 3/10 point

    The same thing happened to me. It was nursing theory and i got a 73%, passing was 74%. It put me a full year behind for graduation because of the way clinicals were set up but I re-took the class and got a 98% and passed the rest of my classes just ...
  25. Patient gifts

    as home health nurses we're with our patients 8-12 hours a day, so we tend to get pretty close to them and their families, I was wondering do any of you get presents for your patients for their birthday or christmas/hannuka? I never have, but I was c...
