I thought the same thing. Thanks for the response.

I was taught black only and never a felt tip.

Thank you. I get a call every day, but from jobs I just can not do. I can not stand on my legs for 12 hours if I had to. I can not lift over a certain amt. and it is not a lot. I can not bend and squat excessively...like getting up and down out of th...

Home care and travel agencies want you to be experienced 1-2 years.

There are ads. I get a lot of calls. However, I am a senior nurse. Try teaching hospitals. They like new grads. Good luck in your move and search.

What is the unsafe patient ratio? There may be consequences with your employer if you refuse. I refused an assignment before on the stepdown unit and made the manager take an assignment. Needless to say after that I was on the bad gal list. It is sca...

Hi everyone, I have been on this site for a week and a lot of the discussion is not so positive. So, I want to start a positive thread today. Please post one positive idea you have about nursing or healthcare. I will do the first. I am glad to know ...

I worked dayshift on a busy high level aquity stepdown IICU. It was extremely busy. Then I moved to nights. Yes, it is quieter and there is not as many people around. It is a whole different atmsophere. My coworkers were awesome. The issue was that i...

Read some of the stories on here. That might help you make a decision.

Follow your call in policy. At the hospital I worked at we notified the hospital nursing supervisor, the unit I worked on, and the staffing office.

Know some information about the company who is interviewing you.

Great. Thank you for the post. Congratulations. It is going to get better..maybe not right away but soon. So today I am happy and positive that I woke up to celebrate with you.:)

I would suggest a second bs degree program for the bsn. You already have a ms but that is not going to help much without a bsn. If you do a adn, sit for boards get rn you can work the same as if you have a bsn, unless you are in Oregon. I did it oppo...

Thank you for the response. Yes, day jobs are hard to come by. I agree a smile is worth a 1000 words.:)

Yes, I felt the same way. Yes, it is very time consuming. Follow your instincts and your heart. You should be fine. Good luck.

Clean and there...

Google whistleblowing

I am happy that you are happy. You paved your road. No, I am not insulted. Excellent point that is well taken. Good luck in all you do.

I understand. Good luck.

Thank you for clarifying this. I answered the question wrong and not by a legal standpoint. My comments were on what the facilities where I worked at actually did. I am glad posters did explain it correctly because I am actively looking for work. My ...

great post. so nice to see that we could find some good in what we do. i think nurses day is coming up. i want to say have a positive nurse's day!! :heartbeat

To OP. I agree. I was once kicked in the heart by a 200 lb. man. I mean right between the breasts with hard soled shoes. It hurt!!

I was a LPN. I am now a RN. I say do what is in your heart. Also, there is plenty to read on this site as to what is going on in the nursing world. Good luck with your choice.

I agree DNR does not mean do not treat. Please refer to your hospital restraint policy. Be a patient advocate. I would have done the same thing per my hospital physical restraint policy and the doctor's order.
