  1. Any new grads having major employment problems?

    multi10 replied to lsid16's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Funny, I was a nurse for many years, took time off to travel, and then took a refresher course. I did my refresher course clinical at a major teaching hospital. (It's really not a hospital, it's more...

  2. Hired into ICU as a new grad, now bring shipped off to ICC... :(

    multi10 replied to Phlavyah's topic in Critical Care

    I think you have a great attitude. As wooh said, once the economy turns around nurses will have more power and opportunities. I was a BSN grad in 1978, worked med-surg for one year, then went...

  3. I don't want to work in a nursing home...

    multi10 replied to ProudStudent's topic in General Students

    After years as a critical care nurse I took a job at a nursing home. But it advertised itself as "more" than a nursing home to the outside world. Unfortunately, it had no infrastructure in place to...

  4. More attractive grads have better chances of getting hired?

    multi10 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Are you a lawyer? I wonder if that would make you more attractive to a hospital's human resources dept. when applying for nursing

  5. wise nurses, desperately need some insight

    multi10 replied to thekid's topic in General Nursing

    You're such a good mom, your child is lucky to have you. Do you take the time to make yourself happy? Do you know what makes you happy/fulfilled? Your child will be happy when you are. I only say...

  6. Can an R.N. just be PLOPPED into ICU to work???!??

    multi10 replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in General Nursing

    The same thing happened to me, but it was in a teaching hospital. I landed in the ICU and learned a ton. I really loved

  7. How come people portray nursing so negatively on here?

    multi10 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    To dhellwege: Have you ever seen the movie, "The Great Santini?" You revealed that you are a male nurse and your father is a surgeon. Did he ever bounce a basketball against your head? Why such...

  8. How come people portray nursing so negatively on here?

    multi10 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    Don't go. Nursing is a great profession. I recently completed an RN refresher course with clinical at Hopkins. The nurse manager was fantastic and was completely supportive of her nurses. I worked...

  9. Nurses Deserve More Respect!

    multi10 replied to natasharostova's topic in General Nursing

    My friend, a male nurse, works 12-hour nights. I asked him, "What is the worst part of your night?" What I wanted to know was when he found it hardest to stay awake. (For me, the witching hour was...

  10. Nurses Deserve More Respect!

    multi10 replied to natasharostova's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know your gender but I have a male friend who, all during nursing school, was asked by his brother, "Why didn't you go to med school?" There may be a stigma in some families about a male...

  11. Really disappointed with the reality of nursing.

    multi10 replied to NurseFrustrated's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand your frustration. Just don't let it beat you. Nursing is a great profession. Patients, families and doctors look to us to be strong. Take care of yourself the best way you can. Join...

  12. Absence of Teamwork

    multi10 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's random. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to figure out the formula of a unit that works well? It doesn't matter what shift it is. It doesn't matter whether it's team or primary care. It...

  13. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    multi10 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ruby Vee! My gosh, what happened to make you so sarcastic? You aren't being accused of being beautiful nor young (and not even perfect). Your posts are so long, you are like the OP a week ago who...

  14. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    multi10 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you sound defensive. This is a forum for nurses to express themselves. If you don't like certain topics/posts, you don't have to read them (you can tell by the topic roughly what will be in...

  15. gum chewing-lip smacking bad manners

    multi10 replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe she doesn't know she's annoying. It sounds as though she may be nervous and that's how she deals with her nerves, almost like a smoker. Do you feel comfortable telling her how much it bothers...

  16. I've been bullied all my life, and it continues...

    multi10 replied to asdjkl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had an identical situation as a young RN in an ICU. Most of the nurses were older but there were a few in their 20's (I was 24). This was a teaching hospital and the interns and residents noticed...

  17. Refresher Course preceptor-Manhattan ICU/CCU

    multi10 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Good morning, I am currently taking an on-line RN refresher course and the time will come when I need to complete the course with a clinical component in a hospital/medical center, under the...
