    Past employer-bad reference-no jobs (new grad)-dreams dashed

    Pangea Reunited replied to Bulgogi_Wagyu's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't see how seeking legal help would be productive. Learning how to "play well with others" would probably be a better use of your time. You seem more than capable, and some (or all) of your...

    Filipino nurses emigrating to US

    Pangea Reunited replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Some of these comments don't seem fair. I'm not Filipino, but I work with a lot of Filipino nurses who are competent and in line with the pay scale. They weren't just plucked up off their homeland and...

    Lpn, adn, bsn, absn

    Pangea Reunited replied to Ajesuitas's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    We have at least four (that I can think of at the moment) LPNs working in CNA/unit clerk jobs at my small hospital. They are new grads who haven't been able to find actual nursing positions and...

    Will be relocating to orange county after school!

    Pangea Reunited replied to cmurra6745's topic in California Nursing

    Even long term care will be hard to get into as a new grad in Orange County. All the other new grad RNs who can't find work already thought of that one, too (not to mention the LPNs). I relocated to...

    Survey to see if you can interact with clients

    Pangea Reunited replied to tytkhat's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I had to take one of those tests to get my first nursing job. It was online and you only got a few seconds to answer each ridiculous question. I'm not sure how I passed it, because from what I hear, a...

    Nurses selling at work?

    Pangea Reunited replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it's annoying. I don't mind fund raisers for school kids,

    atrocious treatment of CNA

    Pangea Reunited replied to Lizzly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That sounds about right ....when an employer's expectations are not reasonable, the employer responds by giving you more work to do (calling with completed tasks) instead of giving you more staff....

    Annual Pay Raises in 2014

    Pangea Reunited replied to Havin' A Party!'s topic in General Nursing

    My annual pay raise was 1.5%, but I negotiated my way up to an 8% raise. It probably helped that I'm only a few years into nursing and not highly paid to start out

    I'm stuck w/ a LTC patient who has Munchausen's

    Pangea Reunited replied to AnonymousDeleted's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    She needs a psychiatric consult, and if she's already had one, her medication probably needs to be adjusted. These patients are like bottomless pits. They can't be satisfied even after demanding and...

    Are BSN nurses smarter than ADN nurses?

    Being told to "clock out" and still having to work!

    Pangea Reunited replied to VioletRiotz's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I never clock out and keep working, but I know people who do. They're usually people with time management issues who've already been warned about staying late too often. It's illegal to require...

    Nurses letting other nurses chart on their account

    Pangea Reunited replied to DQstatus's topic in General Students

    I understand how allowing someone to chart under my name could be harmful to me, but I fail to see how it would affect a nursing student or why a nursing student should be encouraged to get involved....

    Pangea Reunited replied to pat510's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would start now since 35 is considered advanced maternal age. And even as a younger woman, you can't just count on having a baby when you decide to. Nature may have something else in mind for you-...

    How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    Pangea Reunited replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would say it's not very important beyond being neat and professional and pleasant

    Where is the Passion?

    Pangea Reunited replied to ladyk84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When you're actually a nurse, you'll be in a better position to understand the nurses you work with (or observe). Just focus on getting through school, first ...and you'll need more than passion to...

    Dizzy during circumcision

    Pangea Reunited replied to RavensNation's topic in General Students

    Something similar happened to me during a c-section. I actually couldn't see much, but the patient was screaming and crying which made the whole thing very gory to me. I had to walk out because I knew...

    PD is like the armpit of nursing

    Pangea Reunited replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    I think you're just easily annoyed. After all, you have the same apparent goal that they do ...getting into a different area. Maybe they're also considering NP school and need acute care experience,...
