    Job market- ADN students being warned?

    hope3456 replied to hope3456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Elderly patients are going to be allotted fewer medical procedures and hospitalizations under obamacare/Medicare. I suspect demand for "floor nurses" will decrease and most of the demand will be with...

    Should I quit nursing school?

    hope3456 replied to JessC0927's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Examine the reasons why you didn't like them. Was it that you didnt like the hospital environment or you didn't like patient care or contact. Nothing wrong with moving on if you feel that nursing...

    Do nurses get fired often?

    hope3456 replied to queenjulie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have a similar story - they should have substantiated evidence - more so that just " a patient stating u were rude." That is to vague but. If you are in a RTW state they can fire you for anything -...

    Which states are great for nurses to work in??

    hope3456 replied to tua42321's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding magnet facilities - I worked in one that was great - but I've heard varying reports. I am in a right to work state where you can be "let go" for anything at a moment's notice. This causes...

    Job market- ADN students being warned?

    hope3456 replied to hope3456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It doesn't all fall on the nursing schools- much of it has to do with the news media and the fact there was a shortage for so many years. But even the media is starting to recognize that new...

    hope3456 replied to hope3456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Other nursing students I have talked to said their instructors/programs DID warn them about the job market - this girl I oriented had no clue. IMO colleges that take taxpayer $$$ should be curtailing...

    Need advice...New RN working LTC

    hope3456 replied to kimberly_1878's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think this is a problem widespread in LTCs. The cnas almost have the upper hand on the nurses, in my experience. I reported one for constantly disappearing- I caught her outside when I had an...

    We really care about our nurses at our wonderful LTC

    hope3456 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I doubt any "quality indicator" on a LTC is accurate. They are very keen on making everything look good on paper. The best way to find out about a facility is probably from the CNA's. IMO it is time...

    Petition to help new grads get experience

    hope3456 replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is Denver School of Nursing worth it?

    hope3456 replied to Boxer Mama's topic in Colorado Nursing

    You are taking a huge risk. The job market for new graduates in Denver (and everywhere else) is very competitive. I'm sorry but coming from a RN of 8 years nursing school is not worth that kind of...
