    So I cannot find a job, thinking about relocating to Texas

    nursemichelle80 replied to lampost20's topic in Texas Nursing

    You could move to the panhandle of Florida and work with me :) The guy I work with now is retiring on Sept. 29th and his position will then be advertised. You have to be an RN and have psych...

    Maybe bedside nursing isn't for me

    nursemichelle80 replied to stewiegriffin's topic in Nursing Career

    You can do things such as an infusion clinic or home health. You can also try psych nursing and work in a prison or jail. I have done all of the things I mentioned. I currently work in a prison. I...

    how long should you wait before returning to school?

    nursemichelle80 replied to sophie<3's topic in General Nursing

    Jump right back into it! You can still work while getting your BSN. You're young and will be able to handle it. You will still be in the school mode too! Good

    new grad RN, needs job.

    nursemichelle80 replied to erika0424's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't recommend home health to you as a new grad. You really need strong assessment skills when doing home care. I don't know where you live but I started as a new grad at Desert Regional...

    nursemichelle80 replied to NrsNikster's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a men's prison in Florida. It isn't such a bad place. My concern for you as a new grad would be the experience. You don't get much medical experience as far as the skills like foley's,...

    nursemichelle80 replied to ustechrn's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi Nicole! I am doing my BSN online while working FT. I work M-F 7-4. Like Her Own Catalyst RN said, the hardest part of nursing school is behind you. Learn to manage your time wisely and try to...

    I traveled in California and never took any tests. I have never even heard of the test you mentioned. Good

    Psych nursing or nursing home/rehab nursing?

    nursemichelle80 replied to pezz9413's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As a psych nurse (in a men's prison) I can tell you that you won't lose your assessment skills. You will learn many other assessment skills that you might never have used in a hospital. I did NOT...

    What are some structural abnormalities of the brain?

    nursemichelle80 replied to plethoraldork's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry. No skirting around assignments or nursing school in general. It isn't easy but there is a wealth of information if you take the time (your own time) and research it. That is why its...

    Nursing now vs. then

    nursemichelle80 replied to SweetheartRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wish it would have been that easy for me 5 years ago:( I got all 265 questions. Walked out of there wanting to jump from the 6th story window. Still not sure how I passed...but oh so thankful I...

    Here's something you don't see every day

    nursemichelle80 replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    Oh my gosh!!! My boyfriend had one on his back after working in a wooded area. It was HARD to get off his skin. I can only imagine how awful it would be in the eye!! Poor

    Online Nursing

    nursemichelle80 replied to JuliaC2014's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I got my RN in a traditional class setting. I am in a BSN program now online. The material is easy to understand...it's a lot of paper writing. We do have a couple of clinical days where we will be...

    peer interviews

    nursemichelle80 replied to serein's topic in General Nursing

    I just had a peer interview for a job I ended up declining. The peer interviews are for the people you will be working with to "interview" you to make sure you will be a good fit. They ask questions...

    Question about Atty for BON hearing

    nursemichelle80 replied to asbrdawi's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    WOW! I'm so sorry you're going through this. Sounds like you have definitely learned your lesson. It's sad when people like you (no previous criminal hx) have such harsh consequences when those who...

    Drug tested and scared

    nursemichelle80 replied to Platypus's topic in General Nursing

    Why shouldn't someone get their "panties in a wad" when you make a statement like you previously did? What gives YOU the right to make any statement like that without knowing the facts? Again, I...

    Drug tested and scared

    nursemichelle80 replied to Platypus's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty asinine for you to even say this. I was drug tested on the spot after a nurse "accused" me of taking narcs when it was actually her who miscounted. I've never been so ticked off and humiliated...

    Who else love's their 12's?!

    nursemichelle80 replied to jnfRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm torn...I loved working 12's because I had time to go out of town if I wanted. I work 8's now and like it because I still have a good part of the day open when I get off.
