I am a new grad who felt very grateful to get a days/evenings position at a large urban teaching hospital that happens to be the only Level I Trauma Center in my area. The benefits are great and so...
I think if you like videos to learn Hurst Review is worth the investment--I know a couple people who used only Hurst and passed. I'm using UWorld and NCLEX RN Mastery and I like both, I would...
I'm hoping to get a job in either pediatrics or school nursing once I graduate, so I'm thinking about, instead of doing an internship this summer, working as a CNA for an individual my age with...
So at my facility, a short-term rehabilitation center with a few long-term care patients, nurse techs can cover RN shifts, only if the shift is a NOC shift. Is this legal? Just want to make sure this...
I will be graduating from a relatively prestigious university in December, but I found a home health and hospice job at a great organization with PRIME hours and location...but will this open doors...
Thanks, Julius Seizure. You're basically on point. There only has to be one RN in the facility, and it appears my boss may have dished out some false advertisement on the email he sent, stating that...
One last question though--if there is one RN plus me in the facility, can I complete RN duties under her guidance? I am certified with medications, as well as certified as a
Yikes. Either I trusted my facility too much, or I'm missing something. Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll have to talk to the RNs and everyone else here to see what's going
Okay. Well there is another RN in the facility. I take back my question, I'm sorry, I think this would qualify as somewhat of an internship type position. I'm working as an RN, but only during NOC...
My scope is not limited. I would be doing assessment, MD communication, med administration, you name it. For reference, nurse techs have to be nursing students who have passed
Personally, I think the more critically ill the patients, the more respect the nurses get. I definitely don't agree with that assessment, especially as I currently work in LTC. Creativity and...
I care about my clients: I spend my time here simultaneously cursing their healthcare providers while also ensuring doctors and nurses question their abilities and job security at all
I truly don't understand why someone would enjoy making someone else feel unwelcome. Why in all heck did you enter the field of nursing if you have those kind of intentions in your heart? I am a new...
I'm one of the few nurses who doesn't have gallows humor. Oops. So yes, I can see how you'd be disturbed by it. I personally don't think we should become numb to these emotions and situations, but...
If bedside nursing is your absolute dream, then go for it. Otherwise... 1. You will not have job flexibility because you will be a new grad and will have to take what you can get. 2. By the time...
I recently applied at my dream hospital as a CNA to work for the summer before graduating in the fall. I called once and they told me they had my information and that they'd get back to me if they...
I'm going to school at a university well-known for nursing, but I've had a terrible time getting an internship. I was talking to a man the other night who told me hospitals across the country see that...
I'm posting this in general nursing because I want all nurses' opinions...and plus no one ever posts under the occupational health nurse specialty lol. I'm a senior nursing student and I'm pretty sure...
Leave it alone, OP. You were the one who experienced this, not us. You know whether your concerns were well-placed and you know if your intentions were good. You were probably right, even if the way...
