  2. Demoted, now what to do

    cenote replied to cenote's topic in General Nursing

    My agency has been supportive since I've been with them for 3 years and never had a negative report. But I've just made a decision NOT to take the offer to finish my contract in Med-Surg. At this...

  3. Demoted, now what to do

    cenote posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently started a month long 7P-7A contract at an HCA facility. As is their policy, I had no orientation except for a computer course. On my 7th shift there, and still not up to speed on their...

    cenote replied to cenote's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, BabyCatchr, I needed some understanding from other nurses right now. I'm confused and hurt. . . feeling inadequate. I want out of nursing so badly sometimes and it's experiences like this...

  5. Trustaff and medical solutions

    cenote replied to AussieRNinHI's topic in Travel

  7. Starting over at 50

    cenote replied to kolaone's topic in General Nursing

    Physical care is not and has never been a problem with me. You obviously missed the point which is I can't do my job well and do diaper/sheet changes, walk the patient to the BR/BSC, feed the...

  8. Starting over at 50

    cenote replied to kolaone's topic in General Nursing

    I am looking into alternative jobs for RNs right now. While I do not have a BSN, I have an unrelated bachelor's degree, post graduate studies in business (part of an MBA) and the ADN. So far, any...

  9. Starting over at 50

    cenote replied to kolaone's topic in General Nursing

    I earned by RN (Associates) when I was 54 and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't regret going into this profession. It is not my age for I'm in excellent physical condition...it is simply...

  10. Can You Refuse A Patient Assignment

    cenote replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm sorry but "have a quick talk at the start with him" is not the answer. Having worked with this type of patient, I know that reasoning doesn't work....they are mentally ill and have lost the power...

  11. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    cenote replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    First of all, I am not in the military and the government cannot order me, or you for that matter, to go to work. Secondly, while I promised to care for my patients and have given way too much of...

  12. Will I be too old for nursing school?

    cenote replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

    I finished my ADN just over two years ago...I'll be 57 this January. With a previous non medically related Bachelor's degree, and a year towards my MBA, I chose the ADN route. In Louisiana, as in...

    cenote posted a topic in General Nursing

    See "State of Nurses Salaries" in "Nursing News", last thread. I'd like some feedback...lot of intelligent people on this

  14. Travel co. asking for copy of contract?

    cenote posted a topic in Travel

    Has anyone ever had a travel nurse company ask them to send a copy of their present contract? A recruiter at The Right Solutions did just that. Instead, I sent a copy of my payment stub that showed...

  15. Any ACTUAL Second Degree BSN/RN's?

    cenote replied to buddhak0n's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would contact the hospitals located in the area where you want to work and ask if a BA and a ADN will get you the position you desire. In my case, I did ask and found out that my educational...

    cenote replied to buddhak0n's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  17. Peds nurse in New Orleans

    cenote replied to Niecey's topic in Travel

    I have a good friend who works at Children's in N.O. in the PICU. She nearly left due to problems with her schedule. They want nurses to alternate days and nights from week to week and this was just...

  18. Working five 12hr shifts a week

    cenote replied to aggieamy5's topic in General Nursing

    You are right in that you can only rely on your husband and advise of others about working as a nurse 5 nights a week. While you spouse may say that he can do it, the results of this pressure will...

  19. Working five 12hr shifts a week

    cenote replied to aggieamy5's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I do not do more than 3 nights in a row and have only worked 5 nights/wk, not consecutively, a few times. It's a no brainer to realize that this could be dangerous in that fatigue and...

  20. Working five 12hr shifts a week

    cenote replied to aggieamy5's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it's a really bad idea for all the reasons already stated. Also, I don't understand why you two can't share parenting and work. Your husband could do the 5 night a week thingy for a few...

    cenote posted a topic in Travel

  23. lakeview, mandeville

    cenote replied to ambersnight's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Lakeview Regional is an HCA facility and if you are staff, they will not send you home but they will float you. What they normally do if over-staffed is ask is someone wants to go home. They usually...

  24. Will I fit in?

    cenote replied to orangeplum's topic in Camp

    As fate would have it, I just spoke with a fellow RN who worked at a Jewish camp in New Jersy for one summer. Her complaints were focused not on Faith but with the "brats" that attended the camp....

  25. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    cenote replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The reasoning that is commonly used to suggest that all nurses have BSN's is that the degreed nurse has a wider educational experience and has proven that he/she has the ability and intelligence to...
