    Help! What did i get myself into????

    uRNmyway replied to cdland1's topic in Home Health

    OP, I have to say, although I get the tough job market right now, home health is really something you should have SOME kind of med-surg or acute care experience for. If something goes wrong, you are...

    Irritating things about being a nurse VENT

    uRNmyway replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I smell troll too. Doctor calls in meds to another country, without seeing a patient, based on the patient's self assessment over the phone? I mean, really, I don't know how much I would trust the...

    Visa Screen Certificate (need help)

    uRNmyway replied to vilhandra3120's topic in Immigration Advice

    Oh, and just thought I would add....I would save my money with the current economy. Right now, American nurses are having a difficult time finding work in the US. It is EXTREMELY difficult to find an...

    Residencies that accept ADN in Georgia

    uRNmyway replied to NeoNurse2Be's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Emory hospital doesn't accept ADN, not for the hospital. Loophole is this-Get hired at their LTAC facility. After 6 months, you are eligible for internal transfer within the Emory group, and BSN...

    sponsorship to work in the US

    uRNmyway replied to ngima2003's topic in Immigration Advice

    Completely agree. I am a Canadian nurse with experience, and even with TN status, which requires next to nothing from the employer (no sponsorship or anything) it was hard to find work. I finally...

    Visa Screen Certificate (need help)

    uRNmyway replied to vilhandra3120's topic in Immigration Advice

    I would just call the CGFNS help line and ask. Kind of hit and miss with them, some of them are pretty clueless. But you could get lucky and get someone who actually wants to help. My opinion of...

    Hospitals sponsoring RNs for a H1b visa - help!!!

    uRNmyway replied to BennyBear's topic in Immigration Advice

    Yea, H1b is extremely difficult. Last I heard, waiting list was like, 4 years or some such. You have to keep in mind the employment situation in the US right now. There are AMERICAN nurses galore who...

    You guys give the best advise. Could you help me? :-)

    uRNmyway replied to DaniRN1000's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hmm...Only piece of advice I have for you is to make sure you have a job BEFORE you move. The job market in Atlanta is difficult right now. Try to take a few days to visit, and go speak directly to...

    Long story...need to vent ...

    uRNmyway replied to blessedmomma247's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What?! Yeah, I'm gonna go with scapegoat as well. Getting fired for letting a patient hold their own inhaler makes no sense. And you say that the surveyor recommended termination for you? Something...

    What exactly do physicians do again?

    uRNmyway replied to wanderlustgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Guess it must depend on where you are and scope of practice for the nurses and all. The hospital I used to work, if a code was called, the code team came. That team consisted of ICU nurses, the ER doc...

    New CNA needs to be fired, but is union.

    uRNmyway replied to CaitlynRNBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lol, I would ask what it says about her that she is a certified monkey's assistant next time she throws that out. Better yet, go online, print up a bunch of sample NCLEX questions and have her answer...

    Annoyed! Where is the love?!

    uRNmyway replied to angieedoll's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't get why LPNs continue to see 'why not be an RN' as demeaning. Clearly those who ask you see more in you. Being a RN doesnt make you a better person but lets face it...it's more school, tougher...

    Student Reviews of Georgia Nursing Programs

    uRNmyway replied to KDelly's topic in School, College Programs

    I think a very obvious choice would be to try to get into Emory University nursing. Their program is extremely competitive

    Annoyed! Where is the love?!

    uRNmyway replied to angieedoll's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well...I look at it this way...with this many programs just pumping out new grad RNs, there really must be a nursing shortage, right?! Schools don't care. So long as people keep applying, they will...

    Looking for some input and words of encouragement

    uRNmyway replied to NCmcMan's topic in General Nursing

    Josh, I truly do wish you all the best. I think you sound very motivated, and your life experiences would most likely make you a very caring, empathetic nurse. HOWEVER...I do think you need to take...

    What would you do?

    uRNmyway replied to cowgurl89's topic in General Nursing

    I find it very doubtful that one would lose a nursing licence for providing first aid/CPR. You might lose your JOB if your bosses and administrators are heartless jerks. But not your licence. I don't...

    Question for TN status employer addition

    uRNmyway posted a topic in Immigration Advice

    Ok, so some on AN may know I am in the US on a TN status. My initial status was applied for in June 2012, good until June 2014. This job has been hard on me, so I started looking for another position....

    uRNmyway replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

    My question is, WHY DOES IT MATTER?! Someone who wanted to move on to medicine clearly didn't think they were a good fit for nursing. So, let them try something else!!! We are constantly telling...

    I need advice I am so confused

    uRNmyway replied to Ticklelicious's topic in General Nursing

    I think if UCLA is what you ultimately want, keep chasing. BUT apply elsewhere. Seems like employers, especially the desirable ones, are more likely to hire if you are already employed. If you are...

    New CNA needs to be fired, but is union.

    uRNmyway replied to CaitlynRNBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with other posters. But I think that on top of keeping your own, impartial, objective documentation, you should also fill out a separate incident report or write up for every single...

    Nurses working on day off...

    uRNmyway replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Why, as you mention on another thread, nursing is a calling! If it really was such a 'calling' to you, you should keep your phone available at all times to rush in to work, and should definitely avoid...
