  1. If you did not need the money...?

    RFRN replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely didn't go into nursing for the money, but more because I like helping people, I wanted something in the medical profession, and great job security (or so I hope. Never know with this...

  2. Why does this stigma exist in relation to new nurses?

    RFRN replied to VeraciousRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have to say I completely agree - and the ER seems to be the worst place for a student nurse. We only got one day as an ER rotation and my day was spent being the charge nurse's helper! She...

  3. Do you need a license to practice as a RN or can you just how proof of passing NCLEX?

    RFRN replied to ilove's topic in General Nursing

    In Nebraska, we have to apply for a license before we can take NCLEX (or at least this is how I remember it). Then when you pass, NCLEX sends your results to the state and they issue your license -...

  4. Ever see "FULL LET" for code status?

    RFRN replied to shygoofyone's topic in General Nursing

    No clue - haven't heard of LET but why didn't anyone call and ask the MD? Isn't that what you do when you have orders that you can't understand? Best to be safe than guess - get some

  5. bad feeling

    RFRN replied to birdie22's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school, we did an interview with an experienced nurse. She told me it was a good day when everyone got their meds (even if it wasn't on time) and nobody died. I really think this...

  6. How do I leave it all at work?

    RFRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a fairly new RN (working just over 1 year now) and I work in an OBGYN clinic as an kind of float nurse - working the floor with the MAs and LPNs, phone triage, assisting with in office...

  7. Scope of Practice

    RFRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, this discussion came up at work and we are in the process of asking the State Board of Nursing regarding Scope of Practice for RNs but just wondered what everyone else thought... Is it within an...

  8. Do you hate doctors?

    RFRN replied to snickerdoodle17_1's topic in General Students

    Ok, here's the deal. Every RN at some point in their careers will encounter someone who makes them questions what they are doing with their life. For me, it was my preceptor in nursing school who made...

  9. Associates RN vs BSN

    RFRN replied to derekfitness's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Since you already have a bachelors, you should be able to find an accelerated BSN program. That is what I did and 15 months later = BSN. Some schools will even do a 12 months programs but they dont...

  10. Do you hate doctors?

    RFRN replied to snickerdoodle17_1's topic in General Students

    I work in an OBGYN clinic and I LOVE most all of my docs. While there are some that are a little more difficult to work with, the majority of docs I have met are great so try to remember when you meet...

  11. Help! I can't find a job at a hospital!

    RFRN replied to Spacy8's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh, and DO NOT quit the job you have now! It is much more appealing for hospitals to hire someone who is still currently working than someone who recently quit, even if they have to wait 2 weeks for...

  12. Help! I can't find a job at a hospital!

    RFRN replied to Spacy8's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey - I'm from Omaha.... small

  13. Help! I can't find a job at a hospital!

    RFRN replied to Spacy8's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I completely understand. I went for 4 months after getting my license without a job offer - actually, only with a handful of interviews... and I had a 4.0 GPA! Finally, there was an opening at an...
