It happens. It will eventually blow over. Just let it go. Best of luck.

My son had asthma as a child. He was in and out of the ER and Peds unit all summer. I became a nurse so I would know what they were doing to my child. Also, I have been a patient..I try not to say anything, but some how nurses just know, including my...

That is crazy. I do not understand it either. Good luck. Hopefully, something will turn up soon. Was thinking of moving to Brooklyn, in the near future...long story. However, I have experience. Hm I might have to rethink this...

Never

I took a leave to do a contract job. Needless to say..manager not happy. But I followed the guidelines. Call human resource or go find your policy book.

Willing to move where? I am willing to relocate. Where are the jobs at?

The general population reads these forums. I think nurses and students need to be careful about what is discussed here. If you are asking will I ever get cut? that is a different question. The answer would be...according to bed census, the staffing ...

I think it is inappropriate to say someone is addicted. Pain is subjective and still remains to be subjective. As nurses we are not qualified to diagnose someone with addiction. Not looking for a debate and I will not debate this issue. We are to ass...

Yes, I do. Plain and simple. Our manager even expected us to interrupt the narc count to let someone get a pain med out..which can cause an error. I know its annoying and we all want to get out of work because we have our own lives...but leaving some...

I just want to say thank you to all the CNAs, PCAs, and sitters that have worked taking care of people. It is hard work. May your lives have much happiness and rewards.

I was never taught to insert an iv or do a blood stick in school. I even inquired and one of my instructors told me I would learn it on the job. I can agree that you probably did not have to do that in psych. Also, I was used to having a phleb. but o...

Sounds like you have a few good ideas. But not sure the way the market is if it is possible. A lot of competition with experienced nurses. I think years ago I would of said go for it. I always wanted to work on that unit, too. However, did not want t...

Is going to be sick....? I totally understand your point. I guess I can predict three days from now I will be sick. Unbelievable...but after some of the things I have been through...I believe it.

My own father died and I had to work. They were so great to me..they let me off to attend my only father's funeral. I do not know if this makes a difference but he was 52 years old and passed unexpectantly. Come on.. they couldn't find a replacement ...

I am a RN and was offered a $25.00 an hour travel job in Texas. What a slap in the face. So, I can not see making more than that. Just saying..Good luck.

Three twelves a week. If you are lucky you will get a manger who will let you make your own schedule, tweek it, approve it, and post it. I like making my own schedule. Eight hour shifts ...3 per week = 24 hours....5 per week = 40 hours per week. I ev...

Good luck in your future nursing career. Thanks for the post.

There are still diploma schools? None in this state...

I earned a B+ in algebra in a community college and the professor said I was not ready to move on. So, I paid cash and retook it. I earned a B+. The last day of class I walked up to the teacher and said, "You have to be kidding!" I could not believe ...

Just a thought OP. Have you researched online programs?

There are many good reasons a nurse would want to move to 9-5 job. Furthering education, looking for new experiences, use my skills in new department, enjoying people who are awake, different type of nursing, different pace of nursing, I want to go b...

I worked in a teaching hospital and there were a lot of new grads in the ICU/IICU. You mostly likely will be taught everything you need to know, esp. in a 6 month orientation. Good luck and have fun. ICU is either fast and furious or slow and boring.

There is such as thing as over studying. I always ate fish before tests. Just my thoughts about this...

I am not on the west coast. No employers have ever asked me where I earned my nursing degree. They just want a clean, clear registered nurses license. So, my answer is no. I do not have a BSN either, just a Masters in Science.
