    What is a better field to go into?

    OrganizedChaos replied to MariHer20's topic in General Students

    If you want to be a nurse, get your RN. But it doesn't make sense to go to school to become an RRT or surgical tech when you just want a different job to work at while you go to school. Those aren't...

    WILTW 1/22: Cozy Up To Gas Exchange

    OrganizedChaos replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I'm sorry your class is so difficult. I haven't had a math class since the beginning of my college career & that was Algebra! I tried Statistics but dropped it. So you're way ahead of...

    Traveling before first job, bad idea?

    OrganizedChaos replied to coffeestainedscrubs's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I feel like this is the exception, not the norm. I know you were a brand new NP, but you had been a nurse prior. Not only that but your comments on the many interviews you went on makes me believe the...

    Denied PTO for my marriage

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

    This! I'm sure there are a lot of managers who are just terrible at their job but we forget what it's like/could be like to be in their shoes, have to approve or deny vacation time. Not everyone can...

    I'm sick again. I feel like this pregnancy I've had a cold or something ever since winter started. I lost my voice so if anyone finds it please send it back to

    Denied PTO for my marriage

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

    Exactly. I quit a job (it was going down the tubes & the case ended 1-2 weeks after I quit) but then I didn't have a back up plan nor was my husband working at the time. That is how I ended up...

    Student not interested in subject matter

    I thought "Aspie" was short for aspiring. Could be wrong

    Denied PTO for my marriage

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

    But the OP is needing 2 weeks off. Which is going to be a lot more difficult to get people to switch with you/cover you than just trading a

    Telling employer you're pregnant

    OrganizedChaos replied to ducks123's topic in Home Health

    Definitely not until the second trimester. You want to make sure that everything is ok & you have no major

    ABSN Programs With High Acceptance Rates

    OrganizedChaos replied to murseymee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can't have it both ways. If you want an "easy" school to get into your gonna have to pay for it. Most investor owned schools will generally accept anyone with a pulse & the money. So if you...

    Traveling before first job, bad idea?

    OrganizedChaos replied to coffeestainedscrubs's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    A former friend I had passed her NCLEX but then delayed job hunting. She was unable to land a job or even an interview due to the fact that she was an "old" new grad. She eventually got a job through...

    OrganizedChaos replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    Just saw my OBGYN. My baby is measuring well. I got my pertussis vaccine & my doctor said I can be induced. We will pick an induction date next visit. I also signed the paperwork for my tubal. So...

    school psych nurse?

    OrganizedChaos replied to basketball13's topic in Psychiatric

    Do you have a PRN job? If not, why don't you go work as a psych nurse PRN so that way you can do

    Denied PTO for my marriage

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

    That scares me! How are the OP's plans any different/better/more important than anyone else's on the unit? Maybe I'm biased because I didn't have a wedding, just eloped at the Justice of the Peace. I...

    Pseudoseizures in the ED

    OrganizedChaos replied to bear14's topic in Emergency

    I'm kinda offended by the responses. I have worked in a facility with teens, one of the girls was obviously attention seeking & would fake seizures. I would get the ammonia & put it under her...

    Denied PTO for my marriage

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

    Can someone explain the justification for the OP quitting her job? She made plans & didn't check with work if it was ok. The fault is on the OP, not the hospital. Why should she quit just because...

    I go to my OBGYN today to check on baby. I'm hoping I can be induced because I am constantly in pain & am suffering from terrible insomnia. I will update everyone when I am finished with the...

    WILTW 1/15: A Life Preserver in Order to Swim

    OrganizedChaos replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in a lot of pain due to my gallstones. Painful nausea, cramping near my stomach & ribs & just a lot of pain. Since I'm in all this pain I'm having difficulty sleeping. I'm exhausted...

    Denied PTO for my marriage

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

    It's crazy to me that so many people are suggesting the OP quit just because she wasn't able to get the time off. Because the OP assumed she would get the time off, booked her wedding & then got...

    Question For NurseMommies, 2year old experience in ER exposure concern

    OrganizedChaos replied to aevans1292's topic in General Nursing

    As others have said we cannot give medical advice. I definitely would go have a chat with the hospital. If your child's pediatrician isn't helping the situation at all, maybe it's time to find a new...

    Emotionally unbalanced supervisor?? Please help!

    OrganizedChaos replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, that deeply offends me as a nurse and as someone who suffers from mental health issues. I *love* psych & what the OP said is not true at all. That statement was painful for me to read. I...

    OrganizedChaos replied to porkdumpling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you're damned if you do & damned if you don't. If you put the job on your resume & talk about it, it might make hiring managers weary. But if you leave it off how will you explain the...

    "Professional" Social Media

    I also use LinkedIn & am comfortable with it, whereas I don't use any other social media
