  1. New Grad BSN

    quazar replied to bjames09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Raleigh/Durham has an excellent market for new grads. If you look on the Duke, UNC, and Wake Med websites, look at new grad job postings and their new graduate programs and you'll

  3. Have you been through an Epic Go Live?

    quazar replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been through a go live, mercifully. I am an EPIC user, though, and I will say that it makes a HUGE difference in how well it goes over depending on who is doing the teaching and who is...

    quazar replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    Sooooooooooooooo.........you DON'T have a study with facts and figures. Got it. Yet you're still being nasty. Yep, we're done. Flounce away. I wish you the best of luck. We are most definitely...

  6. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    quazar replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    Pro-student, you keep claiming we are ignorant, have false assumptions, are demanding to see data, etc. etc., so I would counter thusly: do you have a peer reviewed, actual scientific study that...

  7. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    quazar replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, when I was a younger nurse it really rubbed me raw to hear that I didn't know what I didn't know. I thought I knew a lot more than people gave me credit for. I have the benefit of experience...

    quazar replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

  9. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    quazar replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    Loaded question, but okay. Of course most reasonable people would allow the doctor to assist if s/he was the ONLY ONE THERE. However, most REASONABLE PEOPLE also want someone with experience and who...

  10. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    quazar replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It was very, very scary. It was a small community hospital, too, so we didn't have the luxury of things like in house attendings or residents, etc.. She was such a kind soul, and thank...

  11. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    quazar replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I had to work with a midwife who went to midwifery school with literally ZERO L&D experience and zero maternal child experience other than what she had in nursing school. She'd had...

  12. I hate that everyone knows I speak Spanish !

    quazar replied to LilimoonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep yep yep. It's a legal/safety thing. I have worked with enough spanish speaking patients for so long that I have picked up plenty. I get by pretty well on my own, but still use an interpreter...

  13. Would you call an ambulance?

    quazar replied to halohg's topic in School

    Well, this thread is just another thing to add to the long list of "reasons I am a super neurotic autism mom." First of all, bless you, I would not have wanted 911 called either, you were right and...

  14. How do I become a mother baby or ob/gyn nurse

    quazar replied to SaraBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Honestly with your background you could get hired pretty easily in a larger hospital that is used to training new grads and/or new to OB nurses. You have a great foundation and if I were a nurse...

  15. Difficult Manager making it difficult to change jobs

    quazar replied to NurseC89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is actually a really good idea. Keep it on hand if you can't get around the retaliatory nurse manager for some

  16. Difficult Manager making it difficult to change jobs

    quazar replied to NurseC89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Myself and a few former coworkers had a problem with a (now former) manager who gave bad references when nurses tried to leave. Unit morale was horrible, and there were other very serious problems...

    quazar replied to ModernRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Truer words never spoken, and I have absolutely left units for this exact

  18. Med Surg vs OB? Want to be an FNP

    quazar replied to trumpetlove17's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you want to become a Women's Health NP, CNM, or a FNP that works in an OB/GYN practice, I would personally stick with med surg. I say this as an L&D nurse. L&D is very highly...

  19. Any nurses with severe clausterphobia?

    quazar replied to Daron73m's topic in General Nursing

    You poor thing. My claustrophobia has morphed into a fear of water as well, because water on my face or around my head = trapped = suffocation. You can imagine how this makes life uncomfortable...

  20. Apparently, bedside nursing is ruining my body.

    quazar posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have had some what I thought was soft tissue inflammation in a part of my body (won't specify where, as I have mentioned the pain at work and don't want to identify myself) for the better part of a...

  21. Any nurses with severe clausterphobia?

    quazar replied to Daron73m's topic in General Nursing

    I have moderate claustrophobia, but elevators don't bother me. Things on my face do (masks), but at work my adrenaline is usually pumping pretty hard if I'm having to go to the OR (the only place I...

  22. Apparently, bedside nursing is ruining my body.

    quazar replied to quazar's topic in Health, Stress Management

  24. Is it worth paying for RN resume?

    quazar replied to OneRN2's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Goodness, no. There are templates all over the internet. Thousands of them, literally, for free. Resumes, cover letters, cheat sheets on how to dress for an interview and how to answer interview...

    quazar replied to tch1920's topic in School

    If this happens, someone please make an announcement on the main page so I can get here and watch it live. Thanks. OP, I'd be taking this person to task and asking her what the fresh heck was...
