    LPN left facility to get coffee-License suspended for patient abandonment

    2BS Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Sorry to hear this happened to you. These facilities wonder why they can't find staff. I wouldn't even consider working with these patient ratios. Every state has laws about breaks. In my state,...

    Should I go to WGU or traditional nursing school?

    2BS Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Former Derm nurse here! Your RN to NP education will include very little Dermatology content. If Dermatology is your goal, you will learn more working in a Derm clinic than anywhere else. Could you do...

    New grad LPN disillusioned with job options-SNF, LTC or Home Care

    2BS Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    It all depends on the job market in your area. I live in a Midwestern city that hires RNs and LPNs in clinics because we have a shortage of MAs in our area. I live near four large health care systems...

    Do I have to get my first nursing job in a hospital?

    2BS Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I took my first job in a clinic and have stayed in the outpatient setting ever since. One thing to mull over... when Covid happened, I was unable to take advantage of the lucrative travel contracts...

    Trouble getting job after bachelor degree.

    2BS Nurse replied to Masterja's topic in Nursing Career

    Hmmm, not sure Canada hires with the same expectations as the U.S. Here in the U.S., BSN nurses are not more expensive (there may be some exceptions). Where I live, completing the BSN does not earn...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    2BS Nurse replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Hobe: "What would make better nurses? Other nurse could mold better nurses by giving better training. Hospitals should be advocating for better training". These days, new nurses have to...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    2BS Nurse replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    In my area, the major health care companies require new ADN grads to complete the BSN (within 5 years of employment). They also contribute money toward the program. Honestly, the BSN program was...

    Ethical Arguments Against Mandatory Vaccination

    2BS Nurse replied to ldhrn73's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN for your post. I am currently reading Pox: An American History, by Michael Willrich. We humans are a vain race. If Covid-19 had scarred our faces horribly (like smallpox...

    New Grad Orientation Doesn't Feel Safe or Supportive

    2BS Nurse replied to Camillus_Was_a_Murse's topic in General Nursing

    As I was reading through, I was thinking "is this a fake post"? Everything about it seems so wrong. Do NOT stay here! I agree with SnickRN above. "Thousands of hospitals are looking for staff and it...

    2BS Nurse replied to Miss_Rose's topic in Operating Room

    "I know the pediatric position wasn't interested in allowing a shadow day". This is a red flag for me. I would ask why. Are you ready and able to interact with distraught parents? Will your...

    Teaching students to write in APA format

    2BS Nurse replied to Sam_Rabbit's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    We were given Purdue Owl as a reference, then sent to a "writing lab" within the school for help. You could set up a time and someone would go over your paper, check for grammatical errors, etc. Later...

    Leaving Bedside

    2BS Nurse replied to Nora Joyce's topic in General Nursing

    Have you thought about trying urgent care? You won't make as much money as working in the ICU, but it's higher paying than most clinic positions. You can also work 12s if that's what you like (4s and...

    2BS Nurse replied to New-Instructor's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we routinely auscultate BPs in the clinic, but the automatic cuff goes on during an emergency and is set to run every x minutes. I have too much to do and there aren't enough of us to take...

    Aesthetic Nursing vs Hospital Nursing

    2BS Nurse replied to milk1996's topic in Nursing Career

    If your goal is to eventually become a NP, definitely start with Med Surg. You aren't going to gain broad nursing knowledge in aesthetics. If your goal is to only work in aesthetics for the rest...

    2BS Nurse replied to New-Instructor's topic in General Nursing
