    Bachelor`s in Psychology Struggling to Get into RN

    Jedrnurse replied to implathszombie9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The opportunities for LVN/LPNs is, and has been shrinking for a long time. No disrespect to practical nursing- I've worked with amazing LPNs- but that's just the way nursing is going. You state that...

    Bachelor`s in Psychology Struggling to Get into RN

    Jedrnurse replied to implathszombie9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Human services agencies often hire folks at the BA level for entry-level direct care/case management positions. (Not to be confused with nursing case managers.) Honestly, you'd have some job...

    California Nursing License

    Jedrnurse replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    You can't unsell your house, but you can probably revoke your job notice. You could always rent for awhile. Don't move to California to work as a nurse, particularly with the impending recession...

    ADN w/ no experience moving to California

    Jedrnurse replied to dgreen2030's topic in General Nursing

    Would recommend concentrating on passing your courses and then the boards before worrying about anything else. Particularly with the recession that's going to be hitting the world.

    Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Jedrnurse replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I first worked as a CNA for a charge nurse who trained at MassGeneral around WW2. As she described it, the training was brutal. (And the grads who finished could nurse rings around us...

    Unprofessional Conduct Online

    Jedrnurse replied to Anon4thispost's topic in General Nursing

    It certainly seems (from many posts on AN and various news headlines through the years) that a person's inappropriate online activity will come back to bite them on the bee-hind. Without your help....

    Try doing a site search on AN re: HCA hospitals. Hundreds of people probably aren't wrong... (On top of that, we're heading into an awful recession. Employers that already treat their staff like crap...

    Rethinking Exclusion Policies

    Every school nurse has come across this situation: Kiddo with illness that causes a fever is really not better, but parent doses him/her with something to lower it so they can go to school. Even with...

    RN Refresher: Trying to get back into the field after 5 years

    Jedrnurse replied to LMN11's topic in General Nursing

    1. That amount of time in your refresher sounds excellent. If you divide it out, it's like a full semester's time of clinical. Make as many contacts during the experience as you can, as you never know...

    Nursing is a hot degree. Philly area grads can earn over $70,000 out of college.

    Jedrnurse replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Hmm. Well, right now: 1. Nurses are being laid off as many non-urgent (non-COVID 19) related services are being put on hold. 2. We are on the precipice of a recession that could make the 2007-2008 one...

    Johns Hopkins vs. Mass General ED

    Jedrnurse replied to Rizzo02481's topic in General Nursing

    I know that Mass General is part of Partners Health, with a large sister medical center (Brigham and Women's Hospital) a few miles away. BWH is union, but MGH is not. They fight tooth and nail to keep...

    I really want to quit..any advice?

    Jedrnurse replied to Sunny Diem's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, my advice is to do an AN site search, for "new grad is miserable/unhappy/depressed want to quit". You will come up with probably hundreds of posts from people who were in the same boat....

    It sounds like your DPH or other regulatory bodies should get involved. This is probably the tip of the iceberg nationwide given the number of idiotic administrations in

    Non accredited ADN, accredited BSN

    Jedrnurse replied to Meltamara's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that experience, references and (of course) licensure would be the primary hiring concerns. I've never worked as a nurse for the VA, but I've also never had an employer drill down to the...
