So, it is obvious from reading this and other forums the job market for RN's in San Diego is competitive. How is the nurse practitioner market? My husband has tons of family there and he wants to move back so badly, I am apprehensive. I have 9 years ...

I bet what they didn't like was a lack of a lock. These fluids are technically medications and TJC loves for all mess to be locked. A simple code lock on the warmer door could fix your issue;) Good luck!

bump!

You are a bit all over the place so it's hard to follow but it does appear you are not feeling valued or respected by some. Try not to allow other's unprofessional behavior and negative attitude determine how you feel or how you treat patients. As ...

Allow me to start. Yet another vag bleed. Same old routine I've done hundreds of times. Apparently this time I was a bit tired and not paying attention. I bend over to get in the bottom drawer of the vag cart, somehow not seeing the tip of the blo...

You never know how an abscess is going to burst!!!!

Stick it out and suck it up! Keep your eye on the prize: Flight Nurse!! You got this. Think of those senseless sheet changes like you do the guy that game in via EMSA for dental pain. You'll be glad you did when you suit up to go on your first flight...

I work 3p-3a and personally I can't wait for 1900! Day and night shifters are very different. I appreciate both for what they are. Your coworkers can make or break you no matter the shift, I'm sorry you feel night shift at your place doesn't want or...

Can I just say I'm sorry. Sorry u waited until 2am on a Saturday night to bring your relatively healthy kid to the ER with symptoms that have been going on for 3 days!. Sorry u didn't get the timely treatment u rightfully deserve! Sorry you had to WA...

Don't sweat the haters, they're just jealous;) Congrats and keep working hard!

I just got my acceptance letter today to start January 2013. I'm very excited!! Anyone else starting Graceland this Spring?

You need to feel valued and supported, especially as a new nurse. Get out now! You would be learning faster and gaining confidence if you had appropriate support. Do not allow these individuals to continue to steal your joy. Find another job, you des...

As long as they aren't taking advantage of you I'm all for teamwork! I think your husband is concerned you do too much and that they are taking advantage. He's just being a good hubby and looking out for you.

It's sounds like u need to go. It's not fair and it definitely shouldn't be this way but for your own well-being u need to leave. You will be so much happier. If you're crying every night before work it's not healthy!! You deserve to enjoy your work ...

You have several run on sentences so definitely edit for that. There are times the flow is a little off. Make sure if they had any specific questions or criteria that you answered them in the essay. Other than that it feels real and from the heart an...

Congrats!! How exciting for you. I hope you love your new career. I've done management for the last 4 years and I realized the clinical side of nursing was screaming my name. I'm not 100% sure where I'll end up with my FNP but I'm positive it's a ste...

Do you get paid time and a half for every hour after 8 hours worked? So 12 hour shifts always have 4 hours paid at time and one half?

Thanks for the reply!

Does CA have baylor? We have a few different versions here in OK. We have modified, and true. Modified means an 11% increase on top of base pay requiring 24 hours to be worked on weekend and 12 hours to be worked sometime during the week. True Baylor...

Anyone?

What hospital do u work at?? We will be moving to San Diego after the holidays and I have 8 years RN experience. I keep hearing how its so difficult to find a job there. Also how is the pay? Cost of living is high so I'm hoping pay is to.

I've applied for Spring 2013. I have 2 small children work full time and am trying to decide if I want to go FT or PT. I would like to be finished quicker but I'm not sure if its doable. My youngest is 3 months. Any thoughts?

I have to disagree with the BSN advice. I say go for the MSN and not waste your time on the BSN. You already have a master in healthcare admin, an ADN will get you your RN, you don't need a BSN. Once u have the experience required for a head nurse ro...

I'm assuming you are a new nurse? If so yes, it's perfectly normal. My only goal as a new nurse was not to kill anyone! Actually I might have killed to have only 6 patients:) You're feelings are normal and believe it or not one day in the not too dis...

I think u have to decide what is most important to u. Is it your dream career or just a job? Once u decide what u really want talk to your employer about it and see what u can work out. Maybe u could extend your time off, go to part time or whatever ...
