  1. R.N. Going To Massage Therapy School

    TBlase replied to smilingrn1's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Another interesting fact- in California, you can take the bar exam without having a law degree, and even without graduating from college- maybe you can look into that process? There are several...

  2. Need ideas arranging staff

    TBlase replied to FieryPsychRN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Everyone reading this forum is waiting for you to disclose these so many places that don't have enough nurses living in them,

  3. If I don't get this job, I'm done.

    TBlase replied to marsqueen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    For the posters that claim 'attitude' is the reason a job seeker, ever more desperate, cannot obtain a job: We'd all like to know what sort of 'attitude' actually is appropriate for anyone that cannot...

  4. If I don't get this job, I'm done.

    TBlase replied to marsqueen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm old school, people. Thirty years ago, a nurse, an aide, a whatever only had to walk IN the door of a SNF to be hired. Now, not even can nurses not find jobs, the downward pressure means even CNAs...

  5. R.N. Going To Massage Therapy School

    TBlase replied to smilingrn1's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hmm. Strangest post yet to be seen on AN. For starters, the state of CA is the only state that does not require a certification to be a 'massage therapist'. It's voluntary to obtain that...

  6. Anyone had experience with Dependable Nurses of Phoenix?

    TBlase replied to DesertwindRN's topic in Home Health

    If this is not telling, that the laity has found entry to the portal to the nursing professions' inner sanctum? Not only are kudos in order to whomever runs this site- but also, this transparency can...

  7. Med-Surg floor sucks, and nursing unions

    TBlase replied to coco42rn's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Last SNF job, LPN, 2004: $27/hour. That has dropped a whopping TEN bucks an hour, since then. I also see RNs TODAY making...$20? The system has failed us, and grabbed us by the, well, you know. And...

  8. Med-Surg floor sucks, and nursing unions

    TBlase replied to coco42rn's topic in Medical-Surgical

    So at $65 an hour, you CAN afford a studio apartment, and pass on the BART, in San Francisco? That's

  9. Nursing Student can't find a job with a misdemeanor.

    TBlase replied to Disc_Chick's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If BONs thought of expungements as 'better looking', my guess is that BONs would not, in fact, require that expunged convictions to be reported to

  10. Correctional Nursing with Criminal Record?

    TBlase replied to thejadedmonkey's topic in Correctional

    Look up a local prison staffing place, and ask them flat out- from what I've been told personally, working jails/prisons is different, because the population (the patients) are not 'at risk', such as...

  11. Need ideas arranging staff

    TBlase replied to FieryPsychRN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I take this to mean you need one less day nurse, and one more night nurse? If I were DON, I would hold a staff meeting, to tell the staff that you are facing a situation, and why (be frank) , and then...

  12. Graduated over 2 months ago....Still no job offers

    TBlase replied to Katniss88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    One thing I have never seen addressed in here, is HOW all of these garduate nurses are paying their bills with no for months and years? Are you all married, with economic stability (aside from the few...

  13. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

    TBlase replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    One side argues it is the spoiled offspring called the Y generation. Another side claims it is a symptom of the ever increasing single parent families, many women only, and in economic distress. In my...

  14. Why can't I get a LTC job??

    TBlase replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Interesting in this era that you have the financial leeway to do that. Is it a non

  15. LVN with stipulations!!!!!

    TBlase replied to Gainful employment72's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Last I heard that in the D-FW area alone, over 50 nursing homes were going to be closed due to budget cuts. that doesn't bode well for anyone, more so

  16. Thought I would have a job by now. Getting depressed

    TBlase replied to SWRNUSA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Spot on. The medical school industry receives about 500 applicants for every opening. It's a deliberate cost control technique, by the status quo, to keep the salaries up. Nursing has always been...

  17. Why can't I get a LTC job??

    TBlase replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yet at the same time there are posters in here claiming their place goes through a dozen nurses a week, yet you can't find a job in LTC, and actually WANT to work LTC? I worked LTC for decades, in the...

  18. Thought I would have a job by now. Getting depressed

    TBlase replied to SWRNUSA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you loans are federal, you can defer them for 3 years due to unemplyment, so don't fret, there. Aside from that, you may also quailfy for income based repayment, which makes your payment about 10%...

  19. Any news about pot legalization and BONs?

    TBlase replied to TBlase's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Depends upon which corporations you mean- the private sector profitting from legal weed, or the state corporations laying in wait to arrest you? Where I am, medical weed is legal (even though in fact...

  20. Any news about pot legalization and BONs?

    TBlase posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    With more states legalizing it either as medicine or for any reason, I'm curious what BONs plan to do about the issue. What if you get a pot arrest in one state, then move to a state where pot is...

  21. Start up of a new facility - Did I get myself into a hot mess?

    TBlase replied to Nascar nurse's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Wow, was THIS ending a letdown! I expected to hear you just still love the place,etc. It was like a bo*b dropped! Sorry to hear the place failed you. Stuff like this can make anyone feel impotent and...

  22. Tattoos/Piercings in the workplace?

    TBlase replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Americans have always been puritanical and hypocrites. Look at Prohibition. Let's ban booze so we can drink more than we did before Prohibition. And my vice is better and more acceptable than your...

  23. Pre-nursing student arrested for DV, no charges filed

    TBlase replied to Anonymust's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Most people migth be suprised to find that more states now have laws in which an arrest of one or both parties in a domestic dispute are automatically arrested, regardless of whether such a dispute...

  24. So tired..why are they all the same.

    TBlase replied to fairyluv's topic in Geriatric, LTC
