    Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

    nursel56 replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Frustration and anger are a perfectly normal response to the new grad job situation...I just feel that attacking those who offer suggestions by telling them to just stop is directing fire at those of...

    If BSN's are preferred, then make that min requirement for NCLEX

    nursel56 replied to deebaxster's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That is the best suggestion I've heard - as it would serve to at least begin to clarify several contentious themes in the debate by first establishing a means to categorize adn-bsn bridge RNs from...

    If BSN's are preferred, then make that min requirement for NCLEX

    nursel56 replied to deebaxster's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The reason that change (requiring a BSN to take the NCLEX) would be difficult is that it amounts to changimg the education requirements to become licensed. This faced opposition from community...

    nursel56 replied to Stressismyname's topic in Private Duty

    Your experience is not unusual, as working in the client"s home and adjusting to family routines (that are often at odds with the written plan of care and yet have become longstanding habit) is quite...

    Affordable Care Act Users Guide for Nurses

    nursel56 replied to Jb4564's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The article is well written, but I'm with Viva and tntrn on this one. Even if we are to accept the facts vs myth as outlined by the OP, I've rarely had a patient respond with, "OK, thanks bye!" to...

    Need advice! Private clinic nursing..

    nursel56 replied to lilaclover6984's topic in Canada

    I was fortunate enough that I didn't need to work when my two children were young. In the meantime, clinics seem to be hiring a much larger number of Medical Assistants than licensed nurses, and any...

    Suspended with pay

    nursel56 replied to litbitblack's topic in Home Health

    I think she'd be in more trouble if she went ahead and did patient visits while she was suspended. Like the others, I'm perplexed as to how a nurse who has been suspended by her employer (who is in a...

    Dumb question....

    nursel56 replied to Emily Cox's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That is not a dumb question. I agree with Mewsin's post and will only add that being on time is extremely important in clinicals and most instructors will not accept "my ride overslept" etc, as a...

    Great post, ventmommy! mluvsgnc . . . I discovered this site 10 years ago. I've learned lots of valuable things, made friends and noticed some patterns. One of them is that certain of our job...

    Have you ever heard of a Home Health company hiring a nurse without a license

    nursel56 replied to HHN2472's topic in Home Health

    Unrealistic nursing students

    I think you did the right thing. It's just unfortunate that they wasted such a fantastic opportunity. Bravo to your hospital for hosting the event, especially in these days of more difficulty in...

    Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    Do you need all those degrees?

    nursel56 replied to dnsonthego's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wonder what evidence there is that leads you to state that requiring a BSN will change anyone's perceptions The OP provided anecdotal evidence that it will not accomplish that goal when they wrote...

    Do you need all those degrees?

    nursel56 replied to dnsonthego's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would not use the term "employer conditions" to describe what I was talking about but even a strict interpretation of the term would have an effect in my opinion...things such as punching time...

    Do you need all those degrees?

    nursel56 replied to dnsonthego's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's very difficult for me to accept the argument that more degrees (and I reject the framing of the argument as "education equals the latest recommended degree incarnation from the AACN et al) will...

    There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    nursel56 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    I don't see how that makes any sense in the context of the average nurse's role in patient education for obesity. Please elaborate on how the concept of "liking" fits into a situation where a nurse...

    There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    nursel56 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    I don't think a person's likability is contingent on their weight at all, and I don't believe most of our patients would take such a narrow-minded
