    Negativity toward nursing as a career choice

    RNsRWe replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's ones like this, so clueless that they don't know how clueless they really are, that cause many of us to give them the deer-in-the-headlights look when they sound off about something as stupid as...

    Will Pharmacy Tech Cert help?

    RNsRWe replied to Jkadkins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The person who can answer your first question is the person who is training you. Typically, while it isn't fast food, it isn't much. The answer to your second question is "no". It will not affect...

    RNsRWe replied to twinner05's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting question. I've only seen this title as PART of the RN responsibilities for a specific job. For instance, I am paid as an RN in a specific role, and part of my role IS "Wellness Coach" for...

    Application & criteria

    RNsRWe replied to fruition's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Based on what I've read in your other posts on another thread, I would encourage NO ONE to waste another moment of their lives on this....and you, as represented here on AllNurses. It's time to pursue...

    Hiring favorability & bias

    RNsRWe replied to fruition's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This can't be serious. If you're looking for inspiration for a script based on the feedback you're getting here, you're wasting not only your time but that of several other people. I can't speak for...

    Nursing Shortage & Me...

    I'd be more than willing to take an earlier retirement if someone would only fund it for me....any bidders out there?

    No experience how to find a job

    RNsRWe replied to MCTC's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You take any job you can. You apply to absolutely every facility that hires LPNs/LVNs, no matter whether you had it on your Dream List or not. Once enough experience is gained, it's much easier to...

    Shift Cancellations (Please HELP!!)

    RNsRWe replied to wenRN01's topic in Nursing Career

    Yeah, I can see your point, but the flip side of that is if a newbie is always being called off first, they aren't likely to stay to become senior staff. They'll go somewhere else where the rotations...

    Bingo. And case in point would be that scenario I described awhile back, another thread, where I watched a non-nurse co-worker pick up the phone that was transferred to her....and heard her answer...

    If you're taking offense, it means you have greatly misinterpretted what I've written. And for clarification, I have a followup post addressing this same question (I guess you must not have read it...

    Shift Cancellations (Please HELP!!)

    RNsRWe replied to wenRN01's topic in Nursing Career

    Step One: check with your unit manager to find out if this is POLICY (written in stone) or HABIT ("how we've always done it"). If it's the former, it's time to find more stable employment. If it's...

    RNsRWe replied to melcolbstorm's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Actually, it does sound crazy. Using YouTube to learn skills is a great way to learn to do things wrong. How do you know the video you're watching is what your facility wants you to do? I've seen...

    I think where you're getting hung up is on the definition of a credential: A BSN is a degree, RN is a license. LPN is a license; there is no degree for that. You said "lawyer is a...

    Completely different scenario, and of course not a problem for anyone. Now, if she was holding this class as an open-to-the-public one, then yes, it'd be a problem: some would think that some in that...
