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

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

    It's all about the area. Plain and simple. Just because a hospital in NY or RI hires BSNs only, that doesn't mean that's the "norm" for the other 48 states. ADNs in my area are hired all the time....

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

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

    I wasn't trying to be harsh, and I'm sorry if you took it that way. I even went as far to say that this is not always the case, if you'd read my entire post, instead of skimming it for the highlights...

  3. I cringe at the thought of work

    Biosciencegeek replied to ALHRN11's topic in General Nursing

    I second that suggestion. Get your master's in ed and teach. I think that's all you'd need if you have your BSN to teach at a community college. I know it's a little more school, but it's better than...

  4. Should male nurses put the toilet seat down?

  5. Should male nurses put the toilet seat down?

    Biosciencegeek replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a man, I vote "yes" because the rationale of the OP makes sense to me and because it's the way I was raised. I incurred much bodily harm as a result of my sister sitting down inside of the commode...

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

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

    It usually goes like this: "I just graduated from school and passed the NCLEX. I have ZERO real world experience, and I just can't understand why I can't even get an interview for that nursing...

  7. It's Wrong! (A night shift perspective)

    Biosciencegeek replied to Sixtyseven's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sixty seven.....You are SPOT ON with your

  8. I. Just. Can't....

    Biosciencegeek replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oops. I meant "under the rock."

  9. Love working in an area that needs nurses

    Biosciencegeek replied to englishgeek's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is what a friend told me ; "There are jobs for grads practically everywhere, as long as you don't have the attitude that you're going to "dictate" to the employer what you are and are not going...

  10. I. Just. Can't....

    Biosciencegeek replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Trust me, some smug, self righteous attorney will slither out from the under rock covered in fecal matter he inhabits and take the

  11. Goodbye, fellow nurses

    Biosciencegeek replied to mcbg6335's topic in General Nursing

    Almost all of the ADN students at my school have jobs lined up at hospitals before they even graduate. I guess it really just depends on the area, the position, and the

  12. Goodbye, fellow nurses

    Biosciencegeek replied to mcbg6335's topic in General Nursing

    Hospitals don't hire ADN nurses........maybe in your area. Here in my area, ADNs, even new grad ADNs, are getting hired en masse. Good luck in your new career though. It's not for everyone.

  13. chiropractor employee taking blood pressures

    Biosciencegeek replied to sam1971's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To me, this is on the same level as those people who run around calling themselves Navy SEALS. I worked with SEALS during my time in the Navy, though I, myself never was one. Those guys used to get...

  14. Study: Doctors don't wash hands properly 40% of the time

    Biosciencegeek replied to herring_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm a CNA, and I will reprimand a doctor, nurse, another CNA, (or even President Obama if need be) in 1/2 of a heartbeat for not properly washing their hands. I don't care if they went to school for...

  15. Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

    Biosciencegeek replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who is a 30 year Trauma ADN(in a level I) who precepts new BSN nurses. He told me that the only difference between ADN and BSN is the "BS" in BSN that is eventually endured by them...

  16. Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

    Biosciencegeek replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, ok. Those are some very good points about Belize. I think we could all agree on a Sandals Resort

  17. Ebola in the news... still!

    Biosciencegeek replied to edmia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I just would like to say congratulations and God bless to Dr. Brantly and Mrs. Writebol for their recovery at Emory University Hospital from this nightmare. My and my family's prayers have been with...

  18. Wearing PJ's to Work?

    Biosciencegeek replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Being a guy, I catch a lot of flack from my colleagues about the "flare leg" bell bottom pants by Cherokee. One girl told me that they were "female only" lol. I didn't realize solid colored scrubs had...

  19. Cheating? Girl tells me to get a study girl so I can cheat

    Biosciencegeek replied to stunurse2015's topic in General Students

    Sharing info in a study group and cheating are two totally different things. You will learn nothing by cheating...nothing, besides how to be sneaky, and there is no room for sneakiness in this...

  20. Can i ever become a nurse?

    Biosciencegeek replied to Dallanah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Exactly. That's why I'm personally having to take A&P

  21. Can i ever become a nurse?

    Biosciencegeek replied to Dallanah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry, it just blows my mind that they would even factor in a 12 year old past grade if you took the course again and got a better grade. That's kind of "double jeopardy" isn't it? I could see if...

  22. What's your nursing kryptonite?

    Biosciencegeek replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

    Off subject, but that dog in your pic looks just like my Boxer. Beautiful!!! Mine is marked the same with the white, and the rest is

  23. What's your nursing kryptonite?

    Biosciencegeek replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

    I rolled in the floor laughing with tears streaming down my face at some of these posts. This has been entertaining to say the least.:roflmao:The responses, coupled with the little emotes are...

  24. What's your nursing kryptonite?

    Biosciencegeek replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

    A colleague's bad breath makes my blood boil personally. I can deal with all the other odors, but that almost makes me lose my temper. With everything on the market in today's world, there is no...
