  1. Could the reason I got fired from my last job affect becoming a nurse

    DowntheRiver replied to Allie94's topic in Nursing Career

    Most places ask you to list at least two direct supervisors so could you use two from another job? Have you had a job since then? If not, start working on that. I had to put down five for my last...

  2. Could the reason I got fired from my last job affect becoming a nurse

    DowntheRiver replied to Allie94's topic in Nursing Career

    Just a couple thoughts: 1. I really hope you learned from this lesson and I'm not sure you have. I say this because of your response to other posters that kind of comes off as... immature. Please...

  3. RN to BSN need to get back to work as an RN

    DowntheRiver replied to daniellatim's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters. Your time as a new grad has come and gone. I'd highly suggest applying to RN jobs

  4. Do ASN/ADN nurses still get hired in the hospital?

    DowntheRiver replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is very possible in Florida but I don't know about other areas. I had four jobs as an ASN but last job required I be enrolled in a BSN program and I had to sign something saying I would...

  5. What Would You Do to Fix the Failings of Healthcare Delivery ?

    DowntheRiver replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others - staffing, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical companies need to be overhauled. But what I'd really like to see changed is the nursing education process. I think we need...

  6. Posted Video of Nurse Singing to Dying Patient

    DowntheRiver posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a video posted to Youtube of a nurse singing to a dying patient. I am a fellow Oncology nurse and would do anything for my patients. I believe what she...

  7. I went to work with a black eye

    DowntheRiver replied to Jessie-'s topic in General Nursing

    I had a strange bruise show up on my neck and shoulder this past Thursday that looked like it could be as a result of DV or "rough play." It was not, I have no idea what caused it, and I assured...

  8. Posted Video of Nurse Singing to Dying Patient

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe malicious isn't the word I was looking for? Basically, we were told never to post our badges because they could potentially be duplicated by individuals in order to attempt to gain access to the...

  9. OCN 2017, insight

    DowntheRiver replied to LovelyRN90s's topic in Oncology

    Thank you for your

  10. Can I be fired for refusing PPD during pregnancy?

    DowntheRiver replied to RN/Mom's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen false PPD positives on pregnant women so I'd hate for you to go through the process of having a false positive and the subsequent tests. It hasn't been a lot, probably 2-3 in the thousands...

  11. Already been told I shouldn't be a nurse (Rant)

    DowntheRiver replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure the first time I did chest compressions I wasn't doing them fast enough (on the mannequin). I highly doubt that most of us were extremely efficient the first time we did anything. You...

  12. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    DowntheRiver replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    Just don't do politics at work. Doesn't matter if it is right or not, it just makes things easier for

  13. Peer Review questions

    DowntheRiver replied to Ddestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Keep in mind, even if this does somehow go to the BON, it is their job to investigate all complaints. Just because something is sent to the BON doesn't mean that something will come of it. Like a...

  14. Under the Covers: My Experience With Post-op Pain Control

    DowntheRiver replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    I experienced severe pain waking up from my cholesysectomy. A 10/10 is probably a 2/10 for most people but I just do not have a very high pain tolerance. That, and the combo of the gas rising into my...

  15. A real nurse VS. a "fake" nurse

    DowntheRiver replied to okredrobot's topic in General Nursing

    You have BSN after your username but say in your post that your BSN will not be complete until

  17. 2017 CURRENT RN to BSN Online Students

    DowntheRiver replied to tay777's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Moderate workload. Mostly tedious busy work writing papers and discussion boards on the family, one on a movie family from a list of movies that you must

  18. 2017 CURRENT RN to BSN Online Students

    DowntheRiver replied to tay777's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    No, I would rent for all. I also never bought or rented the APA textbook that was required/recommended for the program and made it (almost) through the program with all A's and one

  19. Unable to Advance my RN Position

    DowntheRiver replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    Clinical Ladder, my friends. RN I, RN II, RN III, RN IV, and RN V. I am a RN II and will most likely never advance past a RN III because I do not have the time (or desire) with school to do all the...

  20. Rejected from dream job

    DowntheRiver replied to yoganurse22's topic in General Nursing

    At my current (dream) job, I just wanted into this hospital system so I applied to any and every job. I went through 2 HR interviews and 2 manager interviews only to be rejected. I applied to one last...

    I hate to ask, but is English your first

  22. Nursing Classes Ranked by Difficulty and Ability to Double Up

    DowntheRiver replied to jenspire's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I would not double up any of those classes if you can with anything else. I mean, unless you're ok with less than an "A". They are real time suckers but if you're good at managing time you may be...

  23. Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    DowntheRiver replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    I saw on the news that they relocated a bunch of prisoners last night, about 500 of them. I wonder if that is where the OP's husband worked. Sure hope they evacuated her place of business as

  24. Hurricane Irma

    DowntheRiver replied to GetBackToClassRN's topic in School

    I live in the Tampa Bay Area. We are far enough in-land that we are not in an evacuation zone. I work outpatient Oncology so I am considered non-essential and therefore do not have to work. I worked...

  25. Come to work or get fired-Hurricane Irma!!!

    DowntheRiver replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Does your job not have a Team A and B? Usually you are told to show up at a certain time before the hurricane hits, you stay there 3 to 5 days while working shift work, and then recovery shows up and...
