    Recommended Stethoscope for STUDENT!

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Whatever. And you want to know why seasoned nurses get fed up with students. If you already know everything, don't

    Denied employment at agency due to ordered prescriptions

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to RNwithHonors's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    yes, if it meant getting a job I needed, I'd dye my hair. Odd question. I think I said, specifically, that I'd modify whatever factors I could. Race is not modifiable (except apparently for...

    Denied employment at agency due to ordered prescriptions

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to RNwithHonors's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure I'd go that far, lol. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if things continue to trend in that direction. It's a cold cruel world out there. If something were interfering with my ability...

    Why so hard to find a hospital job?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to morehart's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think it has anything to do with your age. I think they are being 100% forthright when they say subacute is the problem. We didn't want nurses from subacute backgrounds either, they simply...

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    No one would be ripping out mine, I can assure you of that! However, something has got to be done to get people to comply with dating. What is wrong with people that they cannot get this done? It...

    A couple questions

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Lev's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In my state they have not yet begun the transition to the Consensus Model and the acute care NP positions here still ask for FNP. I assume that will change in time, but I don't know if those already...

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to rssawyer's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    There are a lot of missing details here, but even if what you posted is the whole truth and nothing but the truth, time to look into getting a real estate license. Assuming you were competently...

    I skipped over that sweet little gem about making the poor guy eat alone in his room! That is abuse. Now it that were my grandfather, I'd be at the BON raising cane until the OPs license was...

    100k salary?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to pilot833's topic in General Nursing

    In my area the top hourly rate at the hospital is $29.79/hour, and it would take you over 15 years and a BSN to get there. You would start at $17 and change. So after 20 years, if you were working...

    I spent 9 years in an ED. Yes, you will get used to it. you will see so much tragedy that it gets to be old hat after a while and you will be numb to it. You need to practice the conversation where...

    Cold feet?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to seaglassgreen's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing was not my dream either. It still isn't, lol, but I have made an extraordinarily successful career out of it, and I have done it my way. Stick with it and make it what you want it to
