  1. Nursing School Essay-Peer Edit/Critique

    NJMike replied to jiwonkim89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow. This post is a whole new low for allnurses. It is bad enough that so many newbie/students try to get homework help. Despite what you facebook/genX types think you are supposed to be able to...

  2. To those who want to leave nursing

    NJMike replied to PunkBenRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    ^^^This. OP has no clue what this profession requires in the long

  3. failed pre-employment drug screen

    NJMike replied to chk888's topic in General Nursing

    If you can't stay clean and sober long enough to pass a drug test you know of in advance what will you do when you work for one of the many employers who have random drug testing? Many hospitals do...

  4. Australian trained RN getting registered in California

    NJMike replied to sarahbob87's topic in Nurse Registration

    Over the years I've seen a lot of NEWLY CREATED "first time poster" allnurses accounts ask this same question in various ways. It gets old as the answer is always the same. UCLA WAS helpful in that...

  5. NCSBN commercial

    NJMike replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Hey ncsbn, If you and the state BONs are so concerned about pt safety where's the number I can call to tell pts that rampant hospital short staffing causes errors and even death?!? And where's the...

  6. NCSBN commercial

    NJMike replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    ^^Best post ever! Agreed. Joe Q. Screwball doesn't need the NCSBN to encourage him not to trust nurses. Why plant that seed? The advertising does sound spiteful because everyone in America knows...

  7. NCSBN commercial

    NJMike replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY! OUTRAGEOUS! You'd NEVER seen national council of medical boards advertising. People know how to complain without the advertisement encouraging

  8. Older nurses taking forever to computer chart

  9. Annoyed by nursing commerical they keep running

    NJMike replied to Missy77's topic in General Students

    That ad annoys me. That ad campaign was started to get more people into nursing. All the while new grad RNs can't even get jobs in my area. Even experienced nurses are having trouble finding work...

  10. Would you work as a CNA or LVN if you could not find work as an RN?

    NJMike replied to indigonurse's topic in Nursing Career

    In light of the shortage of jobs for new grad RNs there is nothing wrong in doing CNA or LPN work until you get an RN job. I guess you have to clear it with your BON. I know of two recent new grads...

  11. Volunteering?

    NJMike replied to BigB_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. A medical mission seems like a good way for a new grad to get some experience to put on his resume. Also call hospitals to see what they accept in the way of RN's who wish to volunteer. Good...

  12. Jobs scarce for nurses

    NJMike replied to GLB_68's topic in General Nursing

    Yes good luck in your job search. The military might be a good idea if you like to travel. You are right that the "RN shortage" is a myth I'm starting to think about going back to school to retrain...

  13. Finally understand the Facebook no-no's

    NJMike replied to raebabelvn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree that the reason one posts a status on face book is to get others to respond. But I also don't think co-workers are the same as

  14. Finally understand the Facebook no-no's

    NJMike replied to raebabelvn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's why I don't have a fb. I'm sorry this happened to you. I know many nurses like your co-worker. There are so many petty tattle-tales in nursing. Hope you feel

  15. Nursing in the next 10 years

    NJMike replied to linguine's topic in General Nursing

    My thought exactly. Getting a nursing job will become more competitive as more new nurses graduate. Hospital acuity will rise as length of stay must decrease due to the escalating cost of health...

  16. Burnout, bad hours, heavy patient load, what to do??

    NJMike replied to Nurse Blondy's topic in General Nursing

    Hospitals and nursing homes will always take advantage of nurses if we let them. Take care of

  17. For new grads looking for their first job

    NJMike replied to tryharder's topic in General Nursing

    I read a post on here today by an RN with no experience who has been looking for medical work for awhile. It was suggested that she could get some medical experience by volunteering in a third world...

  18. For new grads looking for their first job

    NJMike replied to tryharder's topic in General Nursing

    What I think is *mean* is that even some RN's with experience (myself included) are having trouble finding F/T

  19. If you don't know...please ask!

    NJMike replied to mcknis's topic in General Nursing

    :up:Great

  20. will being diagnosed with having alcohol problem affect ur license?

    NJMike replied to jaimieRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you get a DUI while off work that most likely will be reported to the BON. If you have an RN job and the employer has reason to believe that you're an alcoholic you'll likely be reported to the...

  21. What's the deal with all the "New Grad" job listings, but nobody can find a job?

    NJMike replied to rene76's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. That link says a lot. It's tough for new grad RN's. I think you have to go into nursing because you love it because you will probably have to compete hard for a job as a new
