  1. New Nurse, New Job, Advice Needed!

    the_murse_factor posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hello everyone, I'm a recently licensed nurse (passed boards 11/29/16). I've been applying for jobs everywhere and just landed my first position in LTC/Rehab that I start next week. Very nervous....

  2. What was your very first Nursing Job?

    the_murse_factor replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I start my first job next week. Full-time days at a LTC/Rehab. The closer it gets to my start date the more nervous I

  3. Jobs and the waiting game?

    the_murse_factor replied to bleafcna's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was offered my first job back on December, the week after Christmas and I called HR MULTIPLE times in order to get the process moving quicker. I'm moving to a different city within the same state...

  4. Whats the difference?

    the_murse_factor replied to B.23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The degree name really doesn't matter. As long as your school is approved/accredited by your states board of nursing, you complete the required course work and your school sends your transcripts and...

  5. Undocumented Patients

    the_murse_factor replied to srercg6's topic in General Nursing

    I never came across any undocumented patients but I have had the pleasure of caring for a few rude American Citizens. Also the rudness that you appear to be witnessing could in fact be that they are...

  8. Nursing in crisis

    the_murse_factor replied to historylady's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a brand new LPN that was licensed in November. I sent out tons of resumes no calls, most likely due to the required 1-2 years experience that I didn't have. I also live in a very populated most...

    the_murse_factor replied to the_murse_factor's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thank you so much. Yes I will be moving as I don't see myself commuting 1 hour 30 minutes each way every

  10. How I used being a CNA to help me become a nurse

    the_murse_factor replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everything you said! Working as a PCT definitely opened my eyes to what nursing really is all about and I'm glad I did it. It also helps tremendously with bedside manner and getting...

  11. Men in Nursing

    the_murse_factor replied to L.Cisneros's topic in Men in Nursing

    I just get extremely annoyed when people ask why I didn't want to be a doctor. Gets under my skin every

  13. Upset with delegation

    the_murse_factor replied to lovaza's topic in General Nursing

    So you were getting paid a nurses salary to be a PCT? For 8 patients? You didn't have to worry about assessments, med passes, doctors orders, decline in pt function, possible codes, and all the RN...

  15. Mercy Hospital (Miami) LPN-RN

    the_murse_factor replied to the_murse_factor's topic in School, College Programs

    To be honest any nursing school you go to will have their shares of difficulty and getting other people opinions on what is difficult or not is not really that reliable, difficulty is based on...

  16. New LPN, advice on landing 1st job

    the_murse_factor replied to the_murse_factor's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thank you for the reply. I applied to about 3 dozen jobs so far and this was all in one day. I have job alerts set up so as soon as a new position opens, I get an alert and apply. Good amount of...

  17. Overweight Healthcare Workers

    the_murse_factor replied to EmpoweRN's topic in General Nursing

    This had more to do with the insurance company then the employer. I use to work for a very large insurance company. My role was a "health coach", when people didn't meet certain biometrics, BMI over...

  18. Pet peeve

    the_murse_factor replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    Technology plays a big factor. Back in the day we had to know how to spell because everything was handwritten or had to be typed on a typewriter (who remember correction tape? ) Now with the...

    the_murse_factor replied to britthoch1's topic in General Students

    I would just like to shed some light on some of the points you made about PA school. As someone who tried to get into PA school before and probably will try again after I receive my RN I can give some...

    the_murse_factor replied to the_murse_factor's topic in School, College Programs

  23. Will my past mistakes haunt me? What can i do before it gets there?

    the_murse_factor replied to ErikEmme's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I don't think the BON "check your credit" so you shouldn't be concerned about that. I however had a DWLS on my record as well. I had to send the BON a letters of recommendation, and information...
