  1. How much do YOU think nurses are worth?

    esrun77 replied to mystory's topic in General Nursing

    I am shocked at the answers here--PEOPLE!! These other jobs are NOT making more than we are!! A bachelors in nursing vs. a bachelors in PR or business is not even comparable...nurses make more, unless...

  2. Calling all MN/WI nurses! Help me!

    esrun77 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm looking for some names of organizations in the Minneapolis/Twin Cities area (can be on WI border also) that hire nurses for full-time day shifts. Pay isn't that important as long as there are...

  3. Is it normal that my school doesn't teach us IVs?

    esrun77 replied to Annie_1101's topic in General Students

    It has been eye-opening to read this post and these comments. I'm shocked! I am in a BSN program, it's going to be our third semester, and some of us have already started IVs on real patients. I'm...

  4. I'm in tears--to accept or decline?

    esrun77 posted a topic in General Nursing

    First off, I'm posting this under the general nursing discussion because I need advice from nurses, preferably ones familiar with the hiring process--not other students. If it's considered incorrect,...

  5. I'm in tears--to accept or decline?

    esrun77 replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for taking so long to weigh in! I think what you all have suggested confirms my gut instinct--something just isn't quite right. Interestingly enough, a PRN CNA position just opened up at a...

    Thank

  7. anxiety about evening Childcare

    esrun77 replied to Mahogany77's topic in General Nursing

    1. You will become a nurse, no matter what! 2. Aim for either family to watch your child or to have a reliable sitter come over to your house at night. 3. I'm not sure the other poster was right in...

  8. Would you take a $5 paycut for Dream job

    esrun77 replied to loving2024's topic in General Students

    It seems a little sketch that a SICU would take such a lack of experience. I would say take the experience at the magnet and teaching hospital! Then you can have the experience on your resume to get a...

  9. Quitting Nursing School

    esrun77 replied to hmoge's topic in General Students

    Just be honest with yourself. Quit if it's not for you, but also make sure that you're not going to make a decision you regret. I say take the LOA and reconsider things for a bit. Is this truly a...

  10. single mom about to start BSN

    esrun77 replied to LAD2015's topic in General Students

    I am a single mom (not the slightest involvement from my child's father, like you), 22 years old, with a three-year-old little boy. I am finishing up my junior year of my BSN with a 3.8 GPA, and my...

  11. Fellow student=back stabbed?

    esrun77 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So I'm a nursing student and I recently interviewed for a CNA position at a local hospital. The department director told me she was going to send me on to a peer interview because she planned on...

  12. Annoying Classmate Wants To Be Coworker

    esrun77 replied to Laughing_Gas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If he chose his career based on you AND is odd enough to admit that to you along with everything else that has gone on, I definitely don't think you're doing anything wrong by letting your manager...

  13. Fellow student=back stabbed?

    esrun77 replied to esrun77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I took psych nursing last semester and got an A, but thanks

  14. New grad BSN--no night shifts?

    esrun77 posted a topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad BSN, will it be possible to work rotating days/evenings? These would obviously be 10- or 8-hour shifts and not 12. If so, where should I

  15. Nurses Humilated - Illinois

    esrun77 replied to SuburbsGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they could reallocate funds from abusing the individuals who care for their patients to hiring more nursing staff. Do they really believe nurses intentionally want their patients to wait and...

  16. New grad BSN--no night shifts?

    esrun77 replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    Ah yes, well, that's because some public health facilities, clinics, schools, etc. state similar

  17. Fellow student=back stabbed?

    esrun77 replied to esrun77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know what, you're right. I just shouldn't have accepted this interview when I knew she worked on that floor, possibly jeopardizing our somewhat friendship and any professional success that may...

  18. Fellow student=back stabbed?

    esrun77 replied to esrun77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Allegations, judgments and labels were not made. I presented my story and conflict management was actually my question, but thanks for your

  19. Fellow student=back stabbed?

    esrun77 replied to esrun77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The thing is, the department director flat out told me she would hire me if the individuals in the peer interview thought I would be a good fit. At one point, Lisa asked me an out-there question, gave...

  20. Fellow student=back stabbed?

    esrun77 replied to esrun77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly--how do I respond professionally to such unprofessional conduct by a colleague? Ignore it? I mean, what if

  21. New grad BSN--no night shifts?

    esrun77 replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    For the two individuals who asked, I included my education because I know that at some hospitals a BSN is preferred and such is stated on the job posting

  24. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    esrun77 replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    There's no need to grow up so quickly. God doesn't want to confine you, he wants you to prosper. Focus on school, work and God, and improving relations with your own family and your own life before...

  25. New grad BSN day job (non-hospital) opportunities?

    esrun77 posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would like to work part-time while also attending school part-time to obtain my nurse practitioner degree. I'm not interested in working at a hospital doing bedside care (not because I don't want to...
