    Are there really enough jobs???

    nursel56 replied to raspysunny's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You are very lucky you work in a facility you can trust to keep their word. I've read this same scenario in too many cases where the facilities did not, and the shock of the trusting new grad is...

    Commuting 1 1/2 to work???-- new grad

    nursel56 replied to live2run00's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would most likely go for it as well. I've had jobs with long commutes (time-wise due to traffic) and mile-wise, although weather isn't usually an issue where I am. I did my best to make the drive...

    Med Dose Calc - Is It Possible Some Just Don't Get "It"?

    nursel56 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Patient Medications

    "divide, multiply, subtract, bring down" -- lol. We were taught the "ladder" method. Any pesky remainders were supposed to be turned into a fraction (I think, that's when I left). I just have to...

    Med Dose Calc - Is It Possible Some Just Don't Get "It"?

    nursel56 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Patient Medications

    I don't know if it's normal with med calculations. Once I learned the rules I was fine. I do struggle with basic math (arithmetic) compared to verbal skills, but I think the reason for that is I was...

    Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    nursel56 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Going by your way of thinking we should just shut down all colleges because Steve Jobs was successful without a college degree. Yeah. What would you call it? Correct away! I try not to have my...

    Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    nursel56 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think you have any idea what my way of thinking is, and that's just silly hyperbole. You made a blanket statement about the formal education of the average executive, when in reality formal...

    Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    nursel56 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Steve Jobs didn't have a college degree and he managed to keep his head above water pretty well running a complex business. It would take a lot of large hospitals to equal an Apple. It's kind of...

    Motivating the Nurse in All of Us

    nursel56 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    In the last few years I've discovered not all my motivators are upbeat. A job I had for about 5 years taxed my patience to the point I began to feel angry, even though my analyzing brain knew what was...

    You have to do what's right for you. It sounds like it's the atmosphere in the facility you're working in is the major reason for your choice, and not the job itself. The job itself is temporary....

    Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    nursel56 replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In an LTC or office practice the pleasantly confused patients/residents who do that -- I don't care. It would be pointless to make an issue of it. The issue here is whether or not education...
