  1. Patients on different floors ????

    Rodoon replied to JamesLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Wait, Up and down two floors? How can there be responsiblity for licensed people? If another license is responsible for that patient, I wouldn't go in the room normally, even if we shared the same...

  2. Yes to nursing renewal termination

    Rodoon replied to chicksmom101's topic in General Nursing

    Guess I'll be the bad guy. You're putting responsibility on everyone but yourself. You made assumptions that turned out not to be true and you said "see ya". You did abandon the patients and I'm...

    Clinical research

  4. Weird question about interview (re:overweight/ not needing insurance)

    Rodoon replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Don't mention the insurance. Stick to the positives and for the QA job, which is a different skill set, talk about your computer skills, certifications, or classes in that area. Good

  5. What should I do?

    Rodoon replied to finallyRN7's topic in Nursing Career

  6. Helpful first year tips

    Rodoon replied to Kilika421's topic in Ob/Gyn

  7. My gut is telling me you are not a nurse

    Rodoon replied to ksc0723's topic in Nursing Career

    Look at the title of your post. People make mistakes and there is no reason to keep repeating it over and over until it becomes the definition of insanity. Healthcare may not be your forte. If you...

    Rodoon replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    Loveishope, When a new nurse is hired into a slot it comes with a range of salaries attached to it based on experience. Most experienced nurses don't ask for more pay and take the first offer which I...

  9. How to answer this interview question....

    Rodoon replied to alby_dangle's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters on steering, but in the inteview you must sell--YOU. Tell them you're an optimist, tell them you're upbeat and most people enjoy your company. Tell them you're a good...

    Rodoon replied to Rodoon's topic in Retired Nurses

    Applereds, Well yes, a few suggestions but I'm not published even though I'm on that path. It is my goal. The best thing is to write every day and realize you get better with every story. This is a...

  12. Switching from Night Shift to Day Shift

    Rodoon replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    Nightshift almost killed me on more than one drive home. I liked the night shift atmosphere and higher pay but like another poster said it's never ending jet lag. I moved to days for my health after...

    Rodoon replied to EMT-newbie's topic in Nursing Career

    XY Learner The people making money have the ACLS trainer status. You don't have to be out of nursing school to understand it but it will require you to learn EKG and emergency drugs on your own....

  16. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop aka being happy makes one unhappy?

    Rodoon replied to Marshall1's topic in Health, Stress Management

    No, it's not the norm or I should say it shouldn't be. But try not to let his mind set color yours. He should prepare for the worst and that way it won't hurt as bad. Antidepressants take weeks to...

  17. CPR instructor as resume builder?

    Rodoon replied to EMT-newbie's topic in Nursing Career

    At hiring time with all things being equal a new grad that trains in ACLS is valuable, plus you can make money on the side doing it. I'd go with AHA over RC, but it could have different meaning...

    Rodoon replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

  21. How To Spot a Workplace Bully, Part Two

    Rodoon replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

    I've always felt there should be term limits on Nurse Managers. (Im aware this is a minority opinion). The ones doing it over eight years get tired of intervention to put it bluntly. I've been...

    Rodoon replied to Crtlgn's topic in General Nursing

  24. Article -- Loan Forgiveness/Jobs/Rural Nursing

    Rodoon replied to mazy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad to see the rural programs exist, but I can't see younger nurses going for it full time unless they are drowning in debt. There was a time when federal nursing loans could be worked down by...
