  3. New BSN, 6 months, no interview. How long before I hang it up?

    Donnetterr replied to JaxNewGrad's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to hear you are going through this. I am in nursing school, and your post kind of scares me! I think you might want to try volunteering or seeking an externship in the type of unit you hope...

  4. Completely and totally disgusted.

    Donnetterr replied to flightnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Pregnant women MUST be added to a new group insurance policy with no lapse in coverage or exclusion per federal law. Pregnancy trumps employer policy per federal law, when going from one GROUP policy...

  5. Being Sexually Harrassed

    Donnetterr replied to markymark's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, those who report sexual harrassment are treated worse than those who dish it out. I can tell you what I recently did when my supervisor (male) kept telling me (female ) which other...

  6. Unbelievable, what do you think?

    Donnetterr replied to Lylesmom's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to hear you are going through this. Is there anyone outside of the unit you could talk to? Does your hospital have an ethics department or a person in HR who takes complaints about patient...

  7. Dismissed from associates program and Really Need support and advice

    Donnetterr replied to trilli18's topic in General Nursing

    Excelsior may be an option for you if you have completed at least 50% of the requirements for a BSN degree, including several clinical courses. Excelsior does not have clinicals throughout the...

  8. Please don't eat your young.

    Donnetterr replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school, I met a nurse now and again who seemed determined I should "pay my dues" just like she had to, in the sense that she had a miserable beginning as a nurse, and so should...

  9. loan consolidation

    Donnetterr replied to WSU_Ally_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I consolidated with Sallie Mae, and I have not had any problems with them. I chose Sallie Mae after evaluating loan consolidation paperwork from about half a dozen places. All of the places, except...

  10. Adn's Who Don't Care

    Donnetterr replied to nursing4me23's topic in General Nursing

    Whether ADN, BSN, or diploma, all RNs earned the title by passing NCLEX and should feel confident in their designation as Registered Nurse. When the day comes where only BSNs are allowed to take NCLEX...

  11. Will I Find Another Nursing Job?

    Donnetterr replied to needrn's topic in General Nursing

    In most cases, people try to give a two weeks' notice when resigning, but I don't think it's the end of the world if you don't. I think the whole "two weeks' notice" thing gives way too much power to...

  12. Anyone know some rules about FMLA?

    Donnetterr replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Facilities can choose to be more generous than the regulations require, but at a minimum, they must comply with the fed regs pursuant to FMLA. This means they must provide up to 12 weeks of leave to...

  13. MD can't walk across the room to get a chart

    Donnetterr replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    This is how ignorant I was as a junior nursing student. Doctor Big Deal walked into the station where I was occupying the only chair. She sat down on the counter and stared at me. I looked back at my...

  14. Nursing shortage? One local hospital in GA has NOT received the memo!!!

    Donnetterr replied to Caringsharing's topic in General Nursing

    As far as what to do, it may be time for PRNers to join together and have NO ONE bid on those shifts. They need the PRN nurses, and I think it's absolutely terrifying how poorly nurses are being...

  15. Nursing shortage? One local hospital in GA has NOT received the memo!!!

    Donnetterr replied to Caringsharing's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry you are going through this. I wondered what that new dress code would do for employee morale. I know where you are talking about, I work there, too. I am not a nurse, but until recently I...

  16. NEED ADVICE - Nursing or Teaching???

    Donnetterr replied to Jame's topic in General Nursing

    Whether you enter nursing as an ADN or BSN grad (or direct-entry MSN for that matter), you will take the same NCLEX licensing exam and have the same RN license. There are lots of opinions regarding...

  17. A little discouraged

    Donnetterr replied to Altalorraine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am sorry this happened to you. When that happens to me, and I'm sure it will, I don't know how I will handle it. Touching you to push you out of the way could be considered battery, couldn't it?...

  18. NEED ADVICE - Nursing or Teaching???

    Donnetterr replied to Jame's topic in General Nursing

    I want to let you know that as a bachelor's degree holder you may be eligible for some accelerated BSN programs, or even a direct entry MSN. There are a variety of schools that offer both accelerated...

  19. DH dying-need prayers

    Donnetterr replied to nursejoey05's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Through my tears as I read your original post, I can feel the presence of our Lord. I will keep Dan in my constant and fervent prayers, as well as you and your

  20. thoracic outlet syndrome

    Donnetterr replied to coldhandsrn's topic in General Nursing

    My fiance has that, and he sees a neurologist for it. His symptoms include: arms fall asleep and blood flow stops while he is sleeping, myoclonus as he is falling asleep, and intermittent grip...

  21. clinicals

    Donnetterr replied to JNH's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I hope you are enjoying your classes. I'm a senior, and at my school, clinicals began in the first semester of our junior year. We went to clinicals in groups of 10, and during our time "on the floor"...

  22. UAP Use in Telephonic Nursing

    Donnetterr posted a topic in General Nursing

    Greetings, everyone! I am a senior-level nursing student seeking advice about the following situation. I apologize for the length. Currently, I work as a Customer Service Representative (Unlicensed...

  23. UAP Use in Telephonic Nursing

    Donnetterr replied to Donnetterr's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks very much for your thoughtful replies. I have ALWAYS had a problem with CSRs answering the nurse calls, but as my time here lengthens, it bothers me more and more. I am a second-career...

  24. Do Nurses Really Want to Be Professionals?

    Donnetterr replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow! That article is really incredible. It reminds me of the essay Jerry McGuire wrote called, "Things We Think But Do Not Say." Kudos to Dr. Bean for having the courage to stand up for her...

  25. Why are so many of us over weight?

    Donnetterr replied to sarahhoughton's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nursing student in my senior year. I am overweight, and I don't like it. Despite my size, I have a resting heart rate of 64 (thanks to daily power walks with my dog), I can sprint up stairs,...
