    getting hired in a hospital with an associates degree?

    OrganizedChaos replied to chrisRN180's topic in General Nursing

    Well since you don't want that small town atmosphere don't move to where I live because you can't walk anywhere & there is no public transportation. However you can easily get a job in a hospital...

    What nursing career would suit my mother?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    She does enjoy helping people, she's done it for years with her current job. She just doesn't have a draw to nursing. It just seems like nursing is her only option in this area. If she was willing to...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. The doctor's offices in my town only hire MAs. She couldn't provide for herself with an MA

    What nursing career would suit my mother?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    She just doesn't care. I know some people see nursing as a calling but she just wants a stable job. She didn't take this job with the state because she loved the idea, she took it because she was...

    Please Don't Judge Patients

    Like I stated before & posted a link to, people pass judgment on others on a subconscious level. The deciding factor is whether someone acts on those thoughts. Because judgment happens on a...

    What nursing career would suit my mother?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you!!! I don't know how she does it but she does. She use to be a worker in the field, taking care of the elderly & then come home to take care of the animals. She loves her animals & it...

    What nursing career would suit my mother?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! She knows she would have to work for awhile. She didn't plan on retiring from the state for probably another 10 years. I suggested her going the LVN or ADN route but I don't know how she...

    What nursing career would suit my mother?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for you reply & I'm sorry I left so much information out. Physically she can handle it. She moves heavy feed bags (she has farm animals) & animals in her spare time. Mentally I know...

    What nursing career would suit my mother?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for your reply! She doesn't care as long as it pays & is steady work. She worked in a lab doing cancer research prior to moving & working for the state. So I believe her...

    Actions vs. thoughts I'm getting off this merry-go-round because it is clear you cannot discern between a thought & an action. This whole thread was started because of a thought. You keep bringing...

    Slow nursing jobs? So I can go back to school.

    OrganizedChaos replied to countrygirl1234's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked PDN off & on for years. I think that night shift would be the best position for whatever you are looking for. But again, like a PP said, definitely check with with the caregiver before...

    That's acting out on a thought. I said, multiple times, this post is about just thoughts. *Not* acting out on them. I don't know how many times I have to reiterate the fact that this post is about the...

    I am purely talking about judgments, not acting on them. This whole post was created about having judgments, not carrying out on the act. Two completely different things. How can you substantiate what...

    It is completely relevant. You brought up the code of ethics & this whole post is about judging patients. Anyone can leave a negative review or report anyone to the BON. Unless there is proof to...

    I asked if you know anyone personally who lost their license due to a judgment they had (not acted on, just the judgment since this post is about judging others). Nowhere in your long winded answer...

    OrganizedChaos replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Do you know anyone personally who lost their license or was reprimanded for a judgment they had against a patient? I sure don't. Nice judgment against another nurse, one you don't know on a personal...

    OrganizedChaos replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are getting to my point that it is easier to control the actions of the judgments than it is the judgment itself, since it happens on a subconscious level. Telling nurses (or anyone) not to judge...

    I think you need to read up on what constitutes abuse. Ok, so no one forces nurses to work. But I have seen nurses get written up for not coming to work because of an illness. I got let go from a job...

    The same should be said for everyone. Not just nurses. Actually I have given the same care regardless of what I think. Working in corrections made me realize it is ok to judge people. I never took how...

    Actually, verbal abuse is still abuse. Aren't we, as nurses, under stress as well? Aren't nurses forced to work when ill? There is no acceptable reason for anyone to take out their judgements on...
