  1. I need help with thank you note

    RazzleNdazzle replied to lululucy's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch...at least send the email and write a thank you note ASAP. 2-3 days is a big delay given mail travel rate these days. If you plan to be seeing this woman in person soon I guess you could give it...

  2. Nursing student. Experience in Interview for Nurse Tech position

    RazzleNdazzle replied to sheilahdee's topic in General Nursing

    Truth is that many, many nurses feel this way. It's not that we're judging you for going to school, it's just going to be backtracking when/if you go back to school for BSN, etc. The fact that LPN is...

  4. got fired for "clinical issues"... will I find a job??

    RazzleNdazzle replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    For your sake I hope you do find a job. I've seen nurse manager lap dogs stay after doing much worse than failure to report a lab 5 minutes after a "critical." I've also been on the receiving end when...

  5. An eye-opening experience

    RazzleNdazzle replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Canes, I have no idea how long you were there but that is quite the accomplishment. I don't know how many us would be emotionally and mentally strong enough to withstand something like that even on a...

  6. So I cannot find a job, thinking about relocating to Texas

    RazzleNdazzle replied to lampost20's topic in Texas Nursing

    My suggestion is start travel nursing. There are companies that have people go all over. If you already have experience (1-2 yrs from girls I know) then they could hire you within weeks. From the...

  7. So I cannot find a job, thinking about relocating to Texas

    RazzleNdazzle replied to lampost20's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm Ohio, but....wouldn't you just apply there first before relocating and crossing your fingers? I've heard that about Texas before but have no hard proof. I always hear the south is in more need...

    your prospective employers should be able to simply take your name and find your license status on their own. simply make sure your name on resume matches with your formal name on your license. if...

  9. Maybe bedside nursing isn't for me

    RazzleNdazzle replied to stewiegriffin's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, yes, yes! Thank you. I was reading through this and just going to let the original post slide and roll my eyes but it's important not to give people misdirection. I can't tell you how many random...

  10. Just curious- When pt's are drug tested..

    RazzleNdazzle replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Nursing

    What?! What state are you

  11. Maybe bedside nursing isn't for me

    RazzleNdazzle replied to stewiegriffin's topic in Nursing Career

    There are plenty of predictable nursing jobs, you just have to dig. My first thoughts go to positions like Clinical Nurse Coordinator, Research Nurse, PACU (fairly straight forward), Home...

  12. Scheduling question

    RazzleNdazzle replied to obnurse9398's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Self scheduling until it's inconvenient. Then your requests are void when the demand doesn't meet anything you've scheduled. Alternate weekends/holidays of

  13. Explaining to a new employer being terminated

    RazzleNdazzle replied to sorry's topic in General Nursing

    I would still be inclined to list it. (Experience is experience in today's market). Plus, 4 month gap is a fair chunk to be excluded. I would error on the side of caution and be honest without fine...

  14. LPN instead of RN?

    RazzleNdazzle replied to nowim clean's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in Ohio. This month alone one hospital has laid off their LPNs and my hospital is phasing them out. Unless you want to work in a nursing home, RN is the way to go. Why waste your time by going to...

  15. Need Clever award ideas for ED Nurses

    RazzleNdazzle replied to gamegirlkimmy's topic in Emergency

    Mmmk, newer to ER so bare with me here.... Gatekeeper Award/Bouncer Award- for best at triage. Those who knows how to handle the waiting area, juggle family, prep the patients best, and identify...

  16. Resume help

    RazzleNdazzle replied to LevitateMe's topic in Nursing Career

    For four jobs you should only have 1 page. The person reading your resume is interested in a brief snapshot. 2 pages takes away from that and there's always the possibility the second page could be...

  17. Is this right for me?

    RazzleNdazzle replied to jdan88's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with samirish. Any of us can go on a rant of how bad or great nursing is, but it's by a case by case. I decided against another career due to burn out. Oddly I'm meeting so much more burn out...

  18. Um... Really?

    RazzleNdazzle replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Hahahaha. This lady is just angry that you aren't agreeable. She must have issues. Not to mention I'd be so down with IV/IM lasix as opposed to limp wrist PO-not to mention the patient is having...

  19. Um... Really?

    RazzleNdazzle replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    This is all very bizarre to me... Are you sure you weren't just Punk'D RN style or is this for an NA job (given your reference to school)? You definitely don't want to work there. If your NM is crazy...

  20. shoes?

    RazzleNdazzle replied to serein's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I always go with a running shoe with awesome arch support. If you have issues already with back/legs/feet I'd look to boost something like that with an Dr. Scholes(sp?) insert. Some people like Crocs,...

  21. guilt trip

    RazzleNdazzle replied to kurisuchine08's topic in General Nursing

    I work on units that are often understaffed. In no way can you not stand your ground. The second one of those RNs want to guilt trip you it's your job to turn the tables on them. You are simply asking...

  22. nursing career without touching people

    RazzleNdazzle replied to confusedstudent2011's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Have you looked into research jobs? Some of those jobs just involve collecting information, interviews, etc. Look at big universities, etc. If you want out of the nursing profession just look for...

  23. Volunteer or study?

    RazzleNdazzle replied to mastudent's topic in General Nursing

    You are just getting started, literally. I'd say continue to volunteer but recognize when you need to give that time back to yourself (to your studies). Maybe now that you're starting nursing school...

  24. Anxious

    RazzleNdazzle replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    If this is her using her personal judgement versus nursing judgement to decide to quietly not administer a medication that's wrong. Look at it this way... It's like she's quietly practicing medicine...

  25. What advice could I have given but...?

    RazzleNdazzle replied to 34nmotivated's topic in General Nursing

    I hate giving patients advice on personal conversations. That's tough. Seeing as we are MEDICAL with a dash of psych underlying I'd throw a medical approach in there as a safety. Maybe reminding them...
