    K23RN replied to Firstina's topic in General Students

    Started working slowly toward ADN at 28, first RN job at 34, enrolled in BSN this semester at 39. Work and life experiences are a definite advantage in this field, so go for it! Best of

  2. Venting

    K23RN replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    On my previous floor, charge assigned for oncoming shift (large unit). Current floor (small), charge assigns own shift, collaboratively. Much prefer this way. It was irritating to hear complaints from...

  3. Advice

    K23RN replied to andreead's topic in General Students

    For my current job (which was an internal transfer), I had two telephone interviews with HR before a face-to-face interview with the hiring manager. Either way, this interview is likely to narrow the...

  8. IV clinics for hangovers

    K23RN replied to floridaRN38's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    EtOH withdrawal symptoms can take up to 72h to manifest, which would make monitoring for them problematic in this setting. Same with any other walk-in clinic. Habitual heavy drinkers, the ones most...

  9. New nurse and very depressed

    K23RN replied to Socrates12358's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, it does get easier. It wasn't too long ago that I wasn't so sure of that myself (I've been working as an RN for 7 months), but everyone I talked to insisted that it was true. However, I believe...
