    Update: First Job in U.S.

    Pangea Reunited replied to Remy Ox's topic in General Nursing

    It really makes more sense to put your update in the original thread. People who've subscribed to it will see the update, where as this one may or may not be

    PMHNP that does MFT? Advice on how to get there.

    Pangea Reunited replied to nurse cats's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea what MFT or PMHNP mean, but I wouldn't waste time (or MONEY) getting a bachelor's in psychology if nursing were my final

    Hospital requires you to pass Nclex on first try.

    Pangea Reunited replied to Sagegrr's topic in General Nursing

    It's not shocking at all. When I received a job offer as a new grad, I was told I could start orientation after I passed NCLEX ...they didn't even mess around with the "graduate nurse" job

    Lost my cool

    Pangea Reunited replied to sbtr50's topic in LPN to RN

    If I want to say no, I just say no. If I don't feel like answering, I don't. If you're not saying what you mean, you can't really get mad at someone for misunderstanding

    Pangea Reunited replied to blueeyedboxer's topic in General Nursing

    I'm from Texas and I've had a judgement from a Texas court placed on my credit report while living in Texas. It only turned up on one of the big three, but it did turn

    Want to Quit My Tech Job-How Much Notice am I Obligated to Give?

    Pangea Reunited replied to herenurseynursey's topic in General Nursing

    The end is in sight? Hopefully .....but the nurses at your current job probably aren't responding in a timely manner because they're also overwhelmed- maybe even more

    Want to Quit My Tech Job-How Much Notice am I Obligated to Give?

    Pangea Reunited replied to herenurseynursey's topic in General Nursing

    There should be a policy that indicates the proper length of notice to give. Look it up and give notice. If you're not sure, try calling HR ...or just go with the standard two weeks. Good

    minimum staffing and lunch breaks - enemies??

    Pangea Reunited replied to wisconurse16's topic in General Nursing

    The obvious answer is better staffing. There is no other "good" solution ...just the "bad" solutions (that aren't really solutions) that you're already

    Nursing Schools

    Pangea Reunited replied to zherms's topic in School, College Programs

    Why was the number of applicants a factor? Is it a competitive entry program and you didn't make the cut? ...or is this a wait-list

    Nurse stealing narcs advice

    Pangea Reunited replied to Nursenicole1's topic in General Nursing

    I give a lot of pain medication, too. Sometimes I'm the only one who gives it to a particular patient (non-verbal, PEG tube, grimacing, huge wounds, for example). And I will frequently give it a...

    starting nursing school at 48

    Pangea Reunited replied to misty76024's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing can be hard on the body, physically ...and starting later gives you less time to build experience needed for more "plum" positions. Debt verses working years left should also be carefully...

    Interim Permit

    Pangea Reunited replied to kirstennnn's topic in General Nursing

    It says fees are non-refundable on the application, itself. They even underlined "non-refundable", so I'd say you're not getting anything

    Daisy Award on Badge for New Grad

    Pangea Reunited replied to rachmac11's topic in General Nursing

    I would throw it in the river. I've only seen two people get them, and they both got fired shortly afterwards. Those things are bad

    Pangea Reunited replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Speak up! They'll keep doing it if they know you'll roll over and accept it. If I'm scheduled more than two days in a row, I tell them I will be calling in sick on the third day because I will...

    Second thoughts about my BSN :/

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

    I'm imaging a prince, riding a unicorn, coming to whisk you away from the bedside. And although a lot of people would probably love that, it's typically not what happens. If you have half a brain,...

    Should I leave this soon??!

    Pangea Reunited replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Nursing

    Go to the interview. See if they make you an offer and then obsess over what to do. There's no need to make a choice, at this
