    insulin help!!

    SHGR replied to mandaaRN's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't sound right to you- because it isn't! Lantus is basal insulin- think about it- most people take it at night. Your body needs insulin all the time for body processes. Doses can get...

    insulin help!!

    SHGR replied to mandaaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I think it's great that we have a pretty much anonymous forum here to support each other as nurses. Some new nurses- and I was one once- didn't always have a safe place to ask questions...

    So sorry to hear that. Sounds like maybe HE has something to hide. It is my understanding as well that thank-you notes are practically expected after an interview- and, quite honestly, who isn't...

    SHGR replied to kaylynnd06's topic in Nursing Career

    I was once given the advice to take the job where you have a supportive manager who is best able to help you grow. But! I would ask whether you can shadow for a day or even half a day in both areas...

    DEPRESSED New grad. What are we suppose to do?

    SHGR replied to Newgrad_STAT's topic in General Nursing

    When I graduated in 1995 there were no jobs, it seemed- this was in Milwaukee, WI. I applied everywhere and heard nothing for months, and a lot of my classmates were in the same boat. Then suddenly...

    A hospital nurse vs. an office nurse?

    SHGR replied to emptyboxcars's topic in Nursing Career

    A few years ago I transferred from a med-surg unit to a family medicine clinic within the same hospital system. It's been great and I love it, but I wouldn't give up the experience of inpatient,...

    SHGR replied to juslikeneon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I took the new GRE in September and it wasn't so bad- I bought a new Kaplan book that was helpful, but the online stuff on the official GRE website was even more helpful. It allows you to download...

    DNP program BONUS qualifications?

    SHGR replied to Juls2122's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    To tell you the truth, I think they look for other things than experience per se- do you have potential for the level of scholarly work that will be demanded of you, and what is your drive to achieve...

    SHGR replied to kalin's topic in Nursing Career

    Go for it! You sound like you will be a great nurse. You already know you will like it. Also if you are volunteering in an area of the hospital, know the staff, and they like you, you may just get a...

    MissHolland- I already have a BSN, but it sounds like the admission process has been very similar! Everything resolved once I did the paperwork that "merged" my maiden and married

    CNS, educator, public health. the difference?

    SHGR replied to calljs15's topic in Post Graduate Students
