    greener22 replied to greener22's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  3. How do you feel about being asked to shadow in addition to interview?

    greener22 replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a good idea to shadow any position your interviewing for that way you get to know if it's a good fit for you and they know if you are a good fit for them. I request a shadowing experience...

  6. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    greener22 replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    I would not have cared at all if my L&D nurse was male. My OB was male. Doesn't make any difference to me. Not everyone would feel that way I suppose. If she has a female OB and no one other...

    greener22 replied to TryingtoThriveRN's topic in General Nursing

    I stopped working 12 hour shifts 25 years ago when my son was a baby. I could not stand not being with him all day. He would be in bed before I got home and then the only time I saw him was on the way...

  8. My tech will not speak to me

    greener22 replied to Eliza22's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Why does she not speak to you? Is it just you or everyone? If it’s just you , you deserve an answer and she does not provide one, ask HR for a mediator to discuss it. If it is everyone, then just...

    greener22 replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

    greener22 replied to Nrslna's topic in General Nursing

    The trouble I had when my kids were little was that day cares are not open after 630pm. I had to take 8 hour day jobs from 07-330 or 8-430. Lots of those jobs exist. I did have to get in the waitlist...

    greener22 replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  20. Is it worth it to be an NP?

    greener22 replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you hate being a nurse I am not sure an NP is a better option. I hear from complaints from NP friends about the long hours, red tape, and hands being tied. If I may piggyback into this...

  22. RN's required to be sitters???
