  1. 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...
  2. Best NCLEX Prep Sites and Apps?

    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...
  3. 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...
  4. Nurse tech working as RN

    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...
  5. 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...
  6. Home health good for opening doors or nah?

    Ideally I would like to work in a clinic or as a school
  7. Nurse tech working as RN

    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...
  8. Nurse tech working as RN

    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
  9. Nurse tech working as RN

    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
  10. Nurse tech working as RN

    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...
  11. Nurse tech working as RN

    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
  12. Long Term Care Stigma

    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...
  13. School Directory Programs and Reviews

    University of Wisconsin - Eau
  14. 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
  15. 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...
  16. "I Narcanned Your Honor Student"

    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...
  17. 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...
  18. I know a girl who got a job in a hospital at 17, but she had CNA experience in a nursing
  19. 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...
  20. New Grad, Can't Get Hired?

    For my own personal reference: did you work as a CNA before graduating as a
  21. 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...
  22. I know the school has a good reputation but yeah I just hope he's not over exaggerating my ability to get a job. Your response is reassuring, thanks í
  23. 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...
  24. My coworker was high and got away with it

    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...
  25. My coworker was high and got away with it

    If OP knew he consumed pot right before work based on a Snapchat story that he knowingly sent to her, then she did the right thing by reporting
