    conscientiousnurse replied to bergren's topic in School

  8. How'd you get that school nurse job?!?!!

    conscientiousnurse replied to SrnD's topic in School

    It is also possible that if they really want to hire you, some schools may employ R.N.s on a conditional basis, while they are working up from R.N. to BSN. I found out today that that happened for a...

    conscientiousnurse replied to SrnD's topic in School

    conscientiousnurse replied to ASandRN's topic in School

    conscientiousnurse replied to Cillianos33's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to mention, which shift are you applying for? If it's night shift, keep in mind that that can be a dangerous time for falls among the elderly if the staff aren't on top of it. Even those who...

    conscientiousnurse replied to Cillianos33's topic in General Nursing

    Do you work in this area? I am in Washington State close to Seattle. I don't know which area you're in. When in Spokane I worked a little in long-term care and then in assisted living. Have never...

  15. Role of nurse in acute elderly ward

    conscientiousnurse replied to Cillianos33's topic in General Nursing
