  1. Quitting a job that a long time nurse friend basically got me

    Marisette replied to BettyBoopsRN's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like sooner or later you will resign from this job, so why not now ? After you resign, call your friend, thank her for the recomendation and let her know how you feel about your nursing...

  2. Sick of the bedside. SOS

    Marisette replied to EKTheRN's topic in General Nursing

    I won't predict that you will not find employement outside of the bedside. It depends on location, who you know, how determined you are and possibly other variables. I can't tell you much about...

  3. Tips For LPNs Going For Their RN Degree

    Marisette replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in LPN to RN

    Sometimes the grass is not always greener on the other side, even when the money is better. It all depends on what you want and your priorities. If money is the priority, then changing employers may...

  4. Disliked nursing, left it and 2 years later. Also a huge thank you to all RNs

    Marisette replied to lostrnugh's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for getting back to us. I sometimes wonder what happened to some of the "posters" and how their story in nursing resolves. It sounds like your's is a happy ending. Best

  5. Not sure if I should continue nursing

    Marisette replied to Audi3181's topic in General Nursing

    I find myself checking and double checking my work to make sure everything is done, particularly if I'm working with others and their actions can impact my work. It's also a good idea to communicate...

  6. Compressed schedules for VA nurse managers?

    Marisette replied to bossy_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding of your post is that you are not on a time clock and expected to work more than 40 hours to be in compliance with your job description. It's certainly surprising that this would...

  7. is it going to affect my career?

    Marisette replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

    You don't appear to be a job hopper to me. It sounds like you have acquired some very valuable nursing experience. I have across the opposite problem with staying with an employer for too long a...

  8. Tired of jumping jobs, does anyone like her job?

    Marisette replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    OP, looking around your post trying to see if I can fine a few good tips. There seems to be no consistency of what specialty will lead to longevity with an employer. I don't think it's based on the...

  9. Help! I can't find work!

    Marisette replied to BostonRN29's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true. You may get less than an hour to tell an employer what you can bring to the table. Some people are very good at interviews. Others may be great employee's, hard working, loyal and so...

  10. Nurses to The People: we did not fail you, you failed us.

    Marisette replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    While the post is a bit of a vent. I do see some truth to what your saying. I don't see myself as a victim. I choose to be a nurse. However, in general, I don't think society values nurses as much as...

  11. My Employment Ended Because of an Incident Report

    Marisette replied to Anhnguyen2912's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sorry to about your job loss. It sounds unfair. Short staffing and excess work load is quite common in nursing. Supply and demand is part of the problem in some areas. However, I sometimes...

  12. Getting a non-nursing job?

    Marisette replied to TNViking's topic in General Nursing

    A full time non-nursing job and part time RN job, sounds like a lot of time spent at work to me. This may cause you to feel exhausted and be unhappy in both. If you don't like bedside, you might want...

  13. Seeking Advice

    Marisette replied to Karenjf's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what you should do, but I would choose the nurse practioner route. Why? Because I'm already a nurse and that would be the sensible, easier route rather than starting a whole new

  14. Am I making a mistake?

    Marisette replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Nursing

    Sad, but true, there are no bridge to entry programs to other health care careers that I know of. I interpreted your post to be more of anxiety provoked by certain medical procedures. However, I...

  15. Am I making a mistake?

    Marisette replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Nursing

    There are some things that one nurse may find difficult, challanging or be totally repulsed by and another nurse would not even blink when encountering the same situation. If you really want to pursue...

    Marisette replied to Amae13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As a new grad, I would go with the hospital offering the longest orientation, and one that appears to have an interest that you are successful as a new graduate. Do you get a feel for the management...

  17. New LPN with two job offers. Advice?

    Marisette replied to Vak8811's topic in General Nursing

  18. Scary Nurses

    Marisette replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    Why does this scary nurse remain employed? He must be filling a need within the department ? Is he the heavy lifter, the one who puts in the overtime, the one with the most seniority that will never...

  20. What has been the most rewarding moment of your nursing career?

    Marisette replied to oceangirl1234's topic in General Nursing

    Some times those wow moments happen and we don't realize it immediately until we have a chance to reflect. I worked with very ill patient's on dialysis and got to know a few over time. Then one day,...

    Marisette replied to jive turkey's topic in General Nursing

    Marisette replied to Leeleeboo7's topic in General Nursing

    I have not read all the post, but getting back to your question. I was stuck with a needle removed from a dialysis patient with hepatitis C, sometime in the late 80's, possibly early 90's, don't...

  25. Why do We eat our young?

    Marisette replied to nellie272003's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think nurses eat their young. New graduate nurses entering the work environment are entering challenging and stressul work environments and may perceive it as such. I graduated in 1988 from a...
