OOPS...posted it in the wrong spot (new here). Anyway, I totally agree with you. Well said!

I'm so sick of reading these articles about the "nursing shortage". Notice the people who write these articles aren't nurses. Where do they get their information from. Talking about an increase in nursing positions from 2007-2008??? are they kiddin...

I don't know if your questioned was answered or not. I'm new to this forum and I'm trying to get info myself. I live in NY (outside the city) and took a travel assignment there about 7 years ago. I walked to work....took about 15 minutes. I worke...

Awww....gotta love kids.

I love it when a patient tells you they're allergic to Benadryl and when you ask what happens when they take it they anser..."it makes me sleepy"

You know you're a nurse when you've seen more penises than a prostitute. To get an OMG look on a patient's face, you put pineapple juice in a urinal and drink it while walking by the patient. MMM...delious UTI! This one, I hate to admit, but I've don...

Did you hear about the nurse who died and went straight to hell? She had been there for two weeks before she realized she wasn't at work anymore!

P.S. Marshall1....Even if a company gave you a reference, but said is inelligible for rehire when you resigned on good terms...if they felt that way, why would they keep you? "Oh, I wouldn't rehire her, but she worked here for 5 years and had good ...

Marshall, I totally agree with you. I have a friend who is a lawyer and he said by law, the only information that an employer has to give about you is position, salary, dates of employment. And as far as being eligible for rehire, if the hospital s...

DixieRedHead, I saw your profile and noticed you are an ADON. I can't send you a private message because I haven't posted enough on this site yet. I wanted to ask you a question as well about obtaining references since you're an ADON. I was a trave...

MOM to 4......Aint that the truth!!

Aint that the truth. Pardon my poor English, but it is the truth!

PintheD......I feel like I wrote your reply. Nursing has done a job on me as well. Med/Surg, every intensive care unit, ER holding, cath lab (which was my favorite) but 15 hours a day wearing lead ruined my knees and my back, travel contract to tra...

I feel the same way you do....totally. I was telling my father about the paper work and release forms and background checks they do on travel nurses and I thought this is total insanity. My father worked in the defense industry and had to go throug...

Nurse card, I left a long reply to this post and how I can empathize with you. If you like, you can send me a private message and possibly your email address so that I can give you more information on my plans re: making the public aware of how nurs...

Nurse card.....You are definitely not alone. I've been a nurse for 17 years. Got laid off from my last hospital job 5 years ago. Went into home care just to get money and got stuck. Economy started going south, was all the while applying for a po...

Hi. I just read your blog on references. I know it was a few years ago, but I was wondering if you could help. I started filling out job apps for travel nurses. I was doing private duty on acute patients, and many other things. When you do private ...

MaxMomma: I read your replied to VickyRN re: student incivility. I'm new to all nurses, so I don't know if people go back and read responses from a blog that was posted a month ago. Anyway, I would like you to read it if you get a chance and possib...

To Vickyrn I had just posted a reply to your story and have to apologize for my spelling and grammar. I'm usually a stickler about that. Also, would you advise me to report this woman to the school she attended. I believe she already passed her LPN ...

Hi Vicky, I am new to allnurses but I am glad I found the site. I am a Registered Nurse with 18 years of experience. I will admit, in Nursing school, when I went, they were tough. I actually got a clinical failure because I allowed the DIRTY linen to...
