    Look for a College for my Daughter

    Julius Seizure replied to ConcernMama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This made me think of another important point. Many new grads have to move away, maybe even to a different state, to find that first job. Is your daughter open to that? Will you be open to her doing...

    What do you hate most about your job?

    Julius Seizure replied to PancakeSaturdays's topic in General Nursing

    i didn't expect to see so many posts involving not liking travelers. (Only three, but I was surprised to see any. Guess I just didn't think it would make the "hate most"

    What do you hate most about your job?

    Julius Seizure replied to PancakeSaturdays's topic in General Nursing

    I hate that more often than not, I feel pretty powerless. In general, it feels as though the staff nurses are unwelcome or ignored when it comes to collaborating/participating in devising the plan of...

    Does anyone live alone?

    Julius Seizure replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    When I graduated, I took a job several states away from my entire family...in a city where I knew exactly zero people. I was ALONE. And it was probably one of the best things that I've ever done for...

    Day VS Night shift...help

    Julius Seizure replied to Joanie49's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked at hospitals where the shift diff. was $5, and other places where it was a percentage, like 15% of your pay. I did it for a few years when I was fresh out of college and handled it...

    RN to NP education. How did you manage it?

    A lot of people go to school part time and work at the same time, but school will take longer. At this point, are you sure that it's worth

    Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    Julius Seizure replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you *might* be able to find a straight days position as a bedside hospital nurse. However, if you have your heart set on a specialty, like pediatrics, you may just have to choose which is more...

    Calling in for no sleep

    Julius Seizure replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    I am the same. For a while, I had insomnia problems to the extent that I qualified for FMLA (there were contributing factors). After I figured out that I was going to continue to have frequent trouble...

    Look for a College for my Daughter

    Julius Seizure replied to ConcernMama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would add that those "great private schools" to get the BSN might not be the most cost effective choice. In nursing, it doesn't care that much where you get your BSN from, as far as if it's the #2...

    How to decline interview

    Julius Seizure replied to jes07's topic in Nursing Career

    Yup, just tell them "Thank you, but I have already accepted another position." They won't take it personally, because "they" aren't a person, they are a business. And this is just that -- business....

    Someone in my charts....

    Julius Seizure replied to Maevish's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this concept. Now, I dont think that it necessarily sounds like that was what this nurse's goal was in accessing that chart. But it would be very hard to prove that he was just being...
