  1. Need to move but have a versant contract

    not2bblue replied to LCordelia's topic in Nursing Career

    It would definitely be voluntary if you leave the job, even if it is due to your husband being transferred. After all, HE is being transferred, not you, so you are leaving for personal reasons and I...

  2. experienced RN open house

    not2bblue replied to heronurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Good luck in your job search. I don't know where you are or what you are looking for, but if all else fails go to the hospital and talk to the nurse recruiters personally. And LTC is an OK place to...

  3. Completed my BSN

    not2bblue replied to Rhody34's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! I did, too. Pinning thursday and graduation Friday. Does nothing for my current job, but it is something they can't take away from

  4. How much trouble am I in?

    not2bblue replied to Tropicalsun's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Would I have startd the IV? Maybe. But even with lack of sleep, I don't think I would have sat there for that length of time just watching them "forget". And I would hve told that nursing instructor...

  5. Depressed seasoned nurse of 20 yrs - Can't get hospital job

    not2bblue replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I can sympathize. I have had a non-clinical position for 7 years. Now, no one is very interested. I want to feel like a "nurse" again, but it is hard as well to leave and go back to nursing. My job...

  6. Receptionist working in Surgery Center.

    not2bblue replied to BlueSky0's topic in General Nursing

    For the exact reason you just wrote. You are getting far less money than they would have to pay the right person to do what you are doing and most companies will get the most for their

  7. The holidays and legal issues

    not2bblue replied to OldGrayNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if a list of ingredients matters. You aren't selling them or marketing to kids. If I have a peanut allergy, I wouldn't eat something from a person's home even if there aren't supposed to...

  8. Life changing decision-help

    not2bblue posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hello all, I'm looking for advice (or maybe validation) about a career change. I have been teaching nursing at a career college for the last 6 years. Before that I worked at LTC (hated it) and...

  9. Educational Advertising at a for-profit program, what the?????

    not2bblue replied to LobotRN's topic in General Nursing

    The host is a horrible actress. I don't get the scene in the registrar office with the guy on the walkie talkie, but... overall they are trying to sell a product and that is what school is now. The...

  10. Is a physical exam required before being licensed as an LPN

    not2bblue replied to kenny_longtin's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am an PN instructor in the State of Florida. Since you have stopped answering, I am not sure if you are still interested, but.... There are only so many disabilities that will stop someone from...

  11. Reasonable RN Pay in Pediatrician's Office

    not2bblue replied to irish_rn's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    $16 per hour, huh? I would have loved to hear that you told him on the spot; "Well, you get what you pay for, and my experience and expertise is not yours for less than $20 an hour". I get where you...

  12. Admissions Nurse

    not2bblue replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    It may be that you have already made a decision about this, but I thought I would add. Each state obviously has different regs, but this is what we did at a place that may work for you. I was a 3-11...

  13. Is this kind of DON the norm in this profession

    not2bblue replied to LilyRosas's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I agree with the others, floating is part of the job and it is not common to get a call. (not sure why you would need one unless you were floating to another building and would need to drive there and...

  14. New RN drowning

    not2bblue replied to babyrn3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You have never been a nurse before. You don't know what you are doing other than the basics you got in school (which right now don't seem to be all that realistic, right?) It isn't a crime to be new...

  15. Policies, Procedures, Forms and Protocols, OH MY!

    not2bblue replied to PatchyPu's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is overwhelming. Do you remember your tests in nursing school, where you felt like the words were in another language and the instructor was unreasonable to expect you to know all this? During...
