    New RN can't find job in Miami with 5 years LPN experience

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Var01's topic in Nursing Career

    I am in the same boat....still looking, but I have my old job... There's not a shortage of nurses, but you sure couldn't tell by all the open positions listed on hospital websites! Good luck. I...

    Jobs for new grad BSN who worked as LVN

    SE_BSN_RN replied to JustJilly's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, I am in the same situation....and NO it hasn't helped me find a job. With LVN experience you are not considered a new grad, even though, technically, you are. I am still at my old job, I just got...

    Terminating

    SE_BSN_RN replied to EmeraldCoastRX's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    My question would be....did you talk to her before it got to that point? Did you ask her what was going on, and could you help in any way? Certainly you probably can't help with financial issues, but,...

    Would you like some cheese with that whine.

    SE_BSN_RN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Shoot, when I worked LTC, if I had 19 patients, I would be bringing the wine AND cheese! I had 28-30, 2 g-tubes (trachs go on medicare hall). I'm telling you, I still think new grads should start in...

    High turnover in LTAC's?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to nursingilove's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    I have no experience in LTAC.....but I DO in LTC. I started there as a new grad LPN 8 years ago, because that's the only job I could find as a new nurse. And, now that I look back, I think ALL new...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to theantichick's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    Esme, This is great advice. I know this thread is old, but I stumbled upon it looking for ideas....I am considering a position in a LTACH....but I don't know if it would be a good first step. I...

    Questioning the nurse during clinical

    SE_BSN_RN replied to motay68's topic in General Students

    #1....Always, always, ALWAYS go with your gut! If you feel something is wrong, it could be! In this case, nothing was. You didn't do anything wrong, and you were able to think what to do next. When I...

    Night nurse sound asleep!

    SE_BSN_RN replied to maryen's topic in Private Duty

    Also, do the parents know she is sleeping? Did they approve of her doing that? They might, and you just don't know it. Be careful not to jump to conclusions that may lead to unwanted problems....I...

    Worried about paying off student loan debt

    SE_BSN_RN replied to metallicaman1031's topic in General Students

    Do you have your ADN right now? Have you looked into CLEP if you still have pre-req's? How in the world can you have almost 100K in student loans? I did a LPN-BSN program in 2.5 years at a for profit...

    BSN requirement for new grads in acute care

    SE_BSN_RN replied to dzadzey's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree. My reasoning behind my question to PMFB-RN, is that....if the IOM is putting out false information, I used them as sources in some of my papers, and if I am putting in wrong info, where do I...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to dzadzey's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Actually, it did. You would be surprised at the questions I had for ADN's while going through my BSN program, and they would say "I don't know, I didn't take that

    Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hmmm.....well, I could have dropped out of my LPN-BSN program because I didn't like going to clinicals, being told "watch what the RN does...ask questions....you are here to learn..." and then having...

    I got my CNA and now going to CC for my RN but with my three kids????

    SE_BSN_RN replied to nurseismyheart's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    When I did my LPN, it was at a CC and my hubby worked hard and we paid semester by semester...and I just focused on school....but back when I went to LPN school, I didn't need to be a CNA, and I never...

    Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

    SE_BSN_RN replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh? Why then, is the government mandating EVERYONE buy insurance or pay a penalty? (FINE)? Is that not dictating my healthcare? I don't need maternity coverage or birth control. Why do I need to pay...

    Go for ADN or just straight to BSN?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to sweet_treat's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, the tuition reimbursement sounds good, but how much time do you have to give them, and how much is reimbursed? Do you need to work now, or can you just focus on your baby and school? If I had...

    There are still tons of job openings! I haven't heard anything, but maybe because I am out of state. How do I go about contacting a recruiter? Or do I wait till they call me? Or.....does HR...
