    NY RN want to move to TX

    CrunchRN replied to roseonye's topic in Texas Nursing

    I endorsed 10 years ago and my temp license allowed me to work for 30 days until I got the real one. I was living here and it came down to the last possible second. Hopefully things work better

    Motivating the staff

    CrunchRN replied to joslina's topic in General Nursing

    People go to nursing school to become ARNP's or CRNA's these days it seems. I guess there must be many though that still want to be the wonderful bedside nurse who truly makes a difference when...

    I wish each of your co-workers could experience those dressing changes personally. There is no excuse for that kind of brutality in care. My God, what kind of hospice staff allow this to

    Live-in RN advice

    CrunchRN replied to lauraline's topic in Home Health

    You need to consult an elder law attorney and become POA. IF she does have dementia this is not going to get better and a facility may be the only choice. Safety has to be the decision maker in that...

    Scripted responses to difficult phone conversations with patients

    CrunchRN replied to BlueLightRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    You just have tell them straight out what they can or cannot do/have. Be polite and non-judgemental. If they get ugly you have to tell them that you will end the call unless they are polite and then...

    how long is too long?

    CrunchRN replied to IrishTraveler's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No, because you still wouldn't have experience and you would still be an old new grad. You need to find a job in nursing. Any job to start getting experience. Try long termcare, dialysis, clinics...

    Constant Vein Blowing?

    CrunchRN replied to JVoEDrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think CAM is fine. Well some of it. However, it is not accepted as the usual and proper and meets standard of care so i would be very afraid to be involved in this aspect of it

    Constant Vein Blowing?

    CrunchRN replied to JVoEDrn's topic in General Nursing

    I have no issue with the patient making an informed choice, but i would really worry about my liablility down the line from doing invasive procedures on someone for non-medically necessary reasons....

    Public Health nurse to Hospital Nursing

    CrunchRN replied to amv89's topic in Public, Community Health

    In my experience you do not get much if any interest from the acute care sector if you have not done acute care or been out of it for any length of time. Networking or finding a place that has...

    how long is too long?

    CrunchRN replied to IrishTraveler's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think you are stuck in a very hard situation as no experience, but no longer a new grad. I would look into non-hospital jobs and try to network with anyone and everyone who might have a

    "Completing a BSN" ...or, "The Great Revenue-Generator."

    CrunchRN replied to Guttercat's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would do it if someone else would pay for it. However, at age 50, I do not think that debt would be a wise investment. I am not a hospital nurse

    CrunchRN replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
