Just be sure that you give your employer the required notice for days off , and you should be fine, most nurses manage to have family and friend time, don't let yourself become overloaded though, it can be a stressful job

I've been a nurse since 2006, we had kardex careplans and all paper charting , MARs, and orders then, I've worked in med surg, LTC , home health, pre admission, and surgical, I've enjoyed most of my patients, coworkers, and positions, I'm proud to be an RN:nurse:
-
Prioritize , and make a checklist to use everyday, glance at it often, everything comes easier with time
-
I worked 12 's for awhile , and I've got to hand it to anyone who has done it for many years, I know that I couldn't , 8 would be my pick, I do not fore see that happening where I live, not even mentioned
-
Yes , think about what will work best for you, it is a tough road for anyone to obtain the RN license, set that as your goal and work toward it, if it means LVN first, then that will help you gain some knowledge along the way, best wishes
-
The legal nurse consultants I have heard of do that as a side job, maybe until they have enough clients, what kind of things are you good at , as for options for other jobs, baking? Pet grooming? See if you could get a job somewhere auditing pt charts , LTC, hospital, government positions
-
Nursing is a professional atmosphere , and visible tatoos are frowned upon, and the dress code regulations will most likely become stricter
-
Yes wait, the op are right, and believe me in nursing things can get stressful and chaotic, and you will not want to wear long sleeves all the time

I wish you the best of luck

Yes exactly, the person that sends a thank you note or email, will at least stand out and be acknowledged again, and if it is for a position that has a 100 aplicants, that may be the decision maker
-
I think just nice clean clothing would be appropriate, but whatever you can manage would be fine, like the other posts said , the family will be glad to see everyone who cared about their loved one, I have attended funerals in scrubs, usually because I did not have time to go put on other clothes though
-
Take remedial courses or get a tutor and pursue a degree of science in nursing, you can work at a hospital as a care technician or at a doctor's office in the mean time
-
Yes, send a thank you note, it also makes you stand out from the rest

Sadly, this sort of thing occurs often, I have stories of my own, and I have heard of many others. There are a lot of nurses in this field for the wrong reasons, and the nurses that do want to care for their patients have other things to worry about, like charting to hospital standards, or too many patients, insurance will not cover that med etc, sadly computer issues delay care, technology can really work against the medical field at times, these are not excuses, but things nurses have to deal with now
-
LOL that is so funny! I do not mind the occasional LOL, but there are many times, especially texting for work, that I wish everyone would use words?
-
Sue??? Sounds a little extravagant! I would speak with your nursing supervisor, have a group meeting , and see if administration would speak to him about it, most problems can be resolved with communication
-
Use hand sanitizer and soap with moisturizers-aloe, follow with a healing lotion everytime , make sure the lotion is alcohol free
-
Veterinarian, or wildlife biologist
-
Mine says my name and RN, I agree it should say LVN or RN
-
That's alot of good advice for you to consider, don't get in over your head
-
A lot of doctor's offices use unlicensed staff, so you can potentially work in a doctor's office without a nursing license, Home health uses CNA, LVNs, RNs, depends on how much you would like to get paid, and if you want the responsibilty of an RN
