  1. How much trouble am I in?

    mago8388 replied to Tropicalsun's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not the started decision and you probably looked snarky to them. You were not his nurse and let alone you were off the clock. You should have gone to the nurse manager or his Doctor if available and...

  2. So, finally getting to sit on on some interviews..

    mago8388 replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Ok so now to make this post something other than a rant, how about give us newbies a few tips on how to dress, what a perfect resume looks like (even if you don't have a world of experience), how to...

  4. 12 hr shift makeup routine

    mago8388 replied to RN_srs's topic in General Nursing

    I have combination acne prone skin and I swear by Maybelline BB cream. The one with the green cap. Although both work pretty good but for night time you don't need the SPF 30. I apply Paula's Choice...

    mago8388 replied to BlueSky0's topic in General Nursing

  7. How did you pay off your student debt?

    mago8388 replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    I took financial aid and I think my total student loans was 7k at the end of my BSN. Now that's super low comparing with other people. I must add however that I went to school in Puerto Rico. Even...

  8. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    mago8388 replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    I'm all for it. Especially since things have been so crazy lately. I feel like at least one person on the floor should have a gun. Even if it's the RN manager and he/she keeps the gun in her office...

  9. ACLS should always be 2 days and in person!

    mago8388 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm taking mine over a 2 day period only because the one day option was from 9am-9pm. There's no way I would sit in a class for 12 hrs and be able to retain anything by the end of the

    Tax refunds went to pay off loans and other

  13. Safe to take new admit at shift change

    mago8388 replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    I rather take an admit at the beginning of shift to be honrst. It's worst when you're going home in an hour after a 12hr shift and they give you an admit right when you were getting everything settled...

    mago8388 posted a topic in General Nursing

  16. Transitioning from nursing to CRNA

    mago8388 replied to ericlangs's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I always wanted to be a CRNA and did some research on it. First thing you need to do is get your rear end in the ICU. Most programs require 2 years of ICU experience. UTH requires 1 and UPENN...

  17. ACLS and PALS

    mago8388 replied to mago8388's topic in General Nursing

    BTW I went to an interview for an internship in the OR and they asked me if I had any certs or memberships and since I don't have any idea a swerved no and they kinds had this...

  18. ACLS and PALS

    mago8388 replied to mago8388's topic in General Nursing

    The ACLS is $230 and PALS something similar. I think I'll take the plunge and take at least the ACLS. Maybe my resume needs a little polishing but there's so much you can tweak without being...

    mago8388 replied to mago8388's topic in General Nursing

    Wow that's discouraging. I just moved to Houston, TX and having a hard time finding a job as well. I've been an RN for 6 years and never have I applied to so many hospitals and get no calls back. I'm...

  22. Agency and hospital filing green card

    mago8388 replied to Nursiology's topic in Immigration Advice

    The nursing profession is getting over crowded and it's highly competitive here nowadays. I doubt any employees will spend the money to bring a new grad from another country when there are tons of...

    mago8388 replied to cdthorste's topic in General Nursing

    I did private duty for 5 years and thank God all the families I've had were OK with me resting my eyes for a few min. One family even told me to sit on the recliner and take a nap which I out of my...

    mago8388 replied to irishlynn5's topic in General Nursing

    I have friends that are LPNS and worked in LTC and absolutely hated it. They say is too much work, too little staff and it's crazy crazy busy. Now, that's their perspective as an LPN. I'm thinking the...

    mago8388 replied to jeaux's topic in General Nursing

    Don't waste your time pleasing others and go for what makes you happy. If Oncology is what you love and want to be a physician go for pre
