whoa-now

I gotta say. As an Unemployed RN, I am bringing in good money through unemployment because of all those "high stress. high pay" jobs I worked for years. I am looking and looking to get back into a nursing job that suits me. But since seriously lookin...

I try, try, try NOT to judge. If those thoughts cross my mind. I put the judgements away in a little "box in my brain" and lock it up. I proceed into Nurse mode and do my job regardless. I took a pledge to care for the sick and wounded. I don't remem...

Touche!! MBA

I will be starting my first agency job very soon so it's been good to read your comments and tips. THANKS!:cheers:

just got done reading the other comments and chuckling at a couple of them:nono:

Your REAL learning will come once your wings have been clipped and your out there flying on your own. You will find your groove. I didn't read everyone else's post. But it sounds like you are second guessing yourself on the things we all did back whe...

Prinsessa, I agree with this as well. Job hunting these days is SO VERY impersonal!! This has been another oet peeve of mine while looking for a job.

PS The none women I did get to talk when I followed up to was the one who said they were swamped with applications, asked my name again and that don't worry someone would get back to me either way. Another week goes by I called and asked receptionies...

Seems it is the standard now-a-days. Over the past month to month and a half I have applied to oh... probably 6, or so jobs. Only jobs I know I am qualified for. I have a strong resume, I have the qualifications they are asking for. I write a cover l...

Now... about working too many hours. The grass is NOT always greener. I left a job because I thought mgmt. was crazy to think we could finish all tasks and documentation in the hours we were expected to work in a day. Probably 4/5 days turned into13-...

Forbidden, I personally have never known CNA's to get paid salary. In some home care settings though they are paid per visit.

:yeah:Thank you for the wonderful post commuter. Your perspective is stellar!

I appreciate my aides more than I probably sounded like I did in my last post. I am all about team work "You scratch my back and I will scratch yours" sort of thing. I just happened to take the position right after a very lazy, who cares attitude typ...

I had a crew of CNA's who made my life a living hell as 3-11 RN shift supervisor. When I would pull them aside and go over P&P with them I would get comments such as "I don't know you, you haven't worked herelong enough. So I won't listen to anyt...

I too know "that nagging feeling". Going over things in your head I think is only a natural response. As long as you know your did your best for your patient by following MD orders and facility prtocols (along with your own intuitive nature as a nurs...

:loveya:Well written, right words... Girl you hit the nail on the head in your article in so many ways and on so many levels. I have a feeling with your smarts and your thoughtfulness. Not to mention your attitude and your wit. The good lord will ble...

*wondering why facilities can't just hire proper staff so too many 12 hour shifts in a week isn't the norm..sighs...* OH WAIT SORRY! I just gone done working my 5th 12 hour day this week I wasn't thinking straight for a minute there

OKAY.. agrees with kguill whatever you do don't get on your instructors bad side!!!

Dear 2bnursebet... I completely understand where you are coming from. Before going into a room to do a procedure for the first time. It was our standard to verbally go over the steps out in the hallway with our instructor before going in to room. At...

The last employer I worked for had me sign a "full disclosure" document as part of the application process. Also on some applications there is a clause that states "this or that company" has permission to have full disclosure of information that may,...

just as my name says "whoa now"!! I was hired as a Hospice Homehealth RN. You know I was way too honest, I expressed my concerns over questionable re-certs I had to do because their regular nurse called off for weeks at a time while I was left holdin...

I hear you 100%. Until becoming an RN and working with other nurses I have NEVER had a hard time getting along with people I work with. I left LTC because of the cattiness and unbelievable BS on a daily basis. Even by Mgmt and playing their favorites...

I am an RN with 5 yrs clinical experience, currently unemployed after an "awful" experience working Homecare (it's a long story in its self). Anyway I have been having the same problem. So many online applications filled out and nothing. Not even sur...

No! The dang MD's always want to borrow mine on rounds, grrrrr @ that. His ear wax and patients germs UGH. He certainly didn't clean it between pt's. I got to where I hid mine b4 Doc came in and said "ohhh sorry doc I forgot mine today, don't know wh...

I passed after 265 questions 5 years ago.
