Is there a nursing shortage lie? Does this keep the colleges full of students? Defined: a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood. something intended or serving to convey a false impression; impost...

I have a MSN, I can rebuild and engine, brakes, change the oil, but not be hired for the almighty acute care. My resume looks good, and I can perform all the almighty task. Its attitude, greed, and management that is killing the vibes bro's. Just say...

BTW... I have no debt. I guess I'm just smart like that.

OK I should have quoted. I have to say that I never have seen a blog that doesn't attach responses and threads automatically. Lesson learned. Just another waste of my hard work becoming a RN. Let me say this in conclusion before I call this discussio...

OK I will use QUOTE. Since I wrote this blog post, and my experience is similar to the exact conditions you are talking about, I AGREE with your comments. This is an artificial "shortage"... I have thus quoted you and I agree, I agree, I agree, I ag...

OK... got it. Did I mention this is the first time I've had time to make any comments on this blog. Been a little busy :)

Lol.... try to apply... this is not a NEW GRAD JOB... sorry try again!

Not to be obstinate. But I see these adds all the time. What I have not seen is $5,000 dollars.

Hi. Awesome! You are asking all the right questions, and you are not believing 'everything' you hear. You will make what I think will be a competent and valuable nurse in Public Service. Its personal but to answer the question of 'mountains of debt'...

Wow great comments about your experiences. Briefly I will say I was the only precepted student in my class of 60 that was let into a couple CABGs... and that was a reward for my hard work, I knew at that time I would never be able to not pursue more ...

Would you find and ask ask a recruiter for a hospital how that will translate into acute care experience, and get back to the discussion with your insights. Thanks again for your perspective, we hope it 'heps' (Mayberry RFD and MASH reference) some ...

Oh my! You are not off point at all! My only and dearest mother, a teacher, very talented, quietly hung on for 41 years, and she was an amazing influence in the district she worked all her life for. Heading up the district wide reading program, buyin...

Thanks for chiming in. I hope some of us are on our way to the Raleigh-Durham area... Lets go... on your marks!! Nice comment

I am relocating. I was hired at the first regionally distant place I applied and I am thrilled. I wasn't hired because of my education, I was hired because I was talked to during the interview, instead of the typical behavioral questions, I was given...

Hmmm... that is another thing I have heard so often. "SNF's and Home Health doesn't give you the acute care back ground necessary for a medsurg position". "We won't hire someone that's not going to stay". (Kind of an insult right?) Is that therefore ...

Thanks for that comment. Indeed it seems like again it depends on the region we are becoming educated, and learning novice skills, continues to be the factor. Im curious: What do you think is the reason places that have no "shortage" of candidates mi...

That is awesome!!! Should ADN, AS-RN programs require a CNA job history before accepting RN candidates, or even a LPN history. Could hospitals improve the "shortage" by providing positions for those will to work, before attending a RN program, or a s...

That is an excellent thing. That kinda of causal relationship between location and employment percentages is significant indeed. I read this at the IHI: That statement bears repeating. At Hackensack University Medical Center, there is a waiting list...

Thank you for your comment. There seems to still be an abundance of ways to look at the case study I presented. Whether or not the scenario is actually a exact accounting of a documented case, the issues surrounding the frivolous, and even sorted use...

That one should be in the all time hall of fame!!! :)

No need to be sorry, we are seeing more facts that support my concerns. We need more mentors. Not more "I'm sorries", I won't bide excuses, or say sorry for becoming educated. Or rationalizing. I know being a RN is a tough job, and I worked for money...

Yes. It is true. I even have the list of the job apps in a spreadsheet. I am in a major metropolitan center W-SE USA. I will say this. I sent one application, after seeing my dilemma, to a rural regional hospital, and was hired in a couple days. I am...

I have some very well substantiated research articles by psychologists that helped set up the workers comp system. It was specifically designed to re-injure workers, making it nearly impossible for them to recover, be compensated, or return to normal...
