  1. Nursing 101: Your Passive Aggressive Nurse Co-Worker/ Classmate

    Nanceenurse123 replied to The_Optimist's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Where I work now, we have 1 older nurse, in her early 70's who is so passive aggressive that I've never experienced that level of any place I've worked. It's hard to even communicate w/ her. Sad,...

  2. Be honest: do you feel valued by your employer?

    Nanceenurse123 replied to sunnyskies9's topic in General Nursing

    No, not at all. Where I work we're all just a number and it doesn't matter if you stay or leave,

  3. How old is too old to safely practice?

    Nanceenurse123 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you can practice well into your 70s safely, but it's individual based on the person. I can't even imagine working past 70 at anything!! I hope, at that point, I'll be reading more, being in...

  4. i HATE my job. Does anyone else feel the same?

    Nanceenurse123 replied to Jenni811's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think another career would have been a much better fit. Or, better yet, having had my own small business. I know I would have loved that option, but I didn't really know that till too late in the...

  5. Are you having difficulty finding work?

    Nanceenurse123 replied to lumbarpain's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Re: The Walking Dead Nurse's post--I've seen this, too! Why not hire the most qualified person, not someone based on where they live?!! I've traveled for jobs and schools up to 45 minutes, sometimes...

  6. Are you having difficulty finding work?

    Nanceenurse123 replied to lumbarpain's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I know this is an older thread, but I can definitely relate. I have yrs. of nursing experience, including recent experience in Assisted Living, and teaching PCA/HHA classes in a Licensed agency. Older...

  7. Good states for new grad nursing jobs and bad states?

    Nanceenurse123 replied to CNA1991's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    NC is a bad state for any nurse--new grad or experienced nurse! Finding a job is difficult, plus the pay is not great at all. People can say it's a lower cost of living state, but it still doesn't cut...

  8. "To BSN or Not to BSN That is the question." Should BSN be minimal requirement?

    Nanceenurse123 replied to nurseactivist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It shouldn't be complicated at all. No one likes to be told they must go back to school, but if you look at the overall picture, more education is better for everyone--the nurses themselves, the...

  9. Why is it so hard to find part-time work?

    Nanceenurse123 replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live it's only per diem hospital and LTC, which I don't do any longer. There's some per diem HH agency jobs/Medicare, but lots of extensive traveling involved. There's a few others, but...

  10. "To BSN or Not to BSN That is the question." Should BSN be minimal requirement?

    Nanceenurse123 replied to nurseactivist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nursing is the only profession where you don't need a Bachelor's Degree for the entry level. I think it hurts nursing, as a whole, because, in general, the more educated you are, the more respect you...

  11. Great difficulty finding a new grad job in Raleigh, NC

    Nanceenurse123 replied to UGAgradRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I've heard, through a good source, that RN's w/ years of experience have a very difficult time finding work in Raleigh--sometimes up to 8-9 months or more if hospital employment is desired A new grad...

  12. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    Nanceenurse123 replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was out of nursing 6 yrs., did a refresher in Arizona, a lot of work/money, 160 hrs. of clinical. Moved and got a job in NY state, per diem, crappy pay, but something. Moved to another state (in the...
