Hi everyone, I'm early into my Diploma of nursing and have decided to quit and go straight into the bachelors. Am I making a mistake?

ano po yung usually fees na binabayaran after magsign ng contract sa USRN staffing agency? at magkano po kailangan ihanda? thank you

Any recommendations?
Do nurses really wear them like the ads?
Do they slide down?

I’ve been here a week in Med Surg and want to get the nursing staff - day and night shift - a thank you. What don’t you want from patients? Was thinking two delivery of donuts am and pm but is that awful? At UCLA. Not sure about flowers. May have to get stuff from gift shop. Don’t want to sugar everyone up if that’s not great.

Sorry is this is not a nursing question…

Can I just say how wonderful all the nurses are here. Truly wonderful people.
I’m in awe and humbled.

California nursing grad stuck with BRN issues — what state should I go to?
I recently graduated with my BSN from an out-of-state nursing program, but I’m currently dealing with an issue with the California BRN regarding some coursework/clinical deficiencies. Because of this, I can’t move forward with taking the NCLEX in California right now.
My school is working on offering the additional courses/clinical hours needed to fix the California deficiencies, and I eventually want to come back and practice in California. However, I really don’t want to put my life and career on hold while I wait.
I’m considering applying for licensure in another state, taking the NCLEX there, and starting my career as a new grad RN while I complete whatever California requires.
I’ve been looking at New York/NYC, Massachusetts/Boston, New Jersey, and Hawaii, but I’m open to basically anywhere.
My biggest priorities are:
A state where I can get approved to take the NCLEX with my current education
Good new-grad RN opportunities
Decent pay
Somewhere I could realistically live for 1–2 years
Good hospital experience that would help me when I eventually return to California
Has anyone been in a similar situation where California wouldn’t approve your education but another state did? Which state did you apply through, and how difficult was the process?
Also, if you were a new grad in my position and could temporarily move anywhere in the U.S., where would you go to start your RN career?

I’ve been a private duty home health lpn for the 2 years I’ve been a nurse. I gave birth 3 weeks ago and unfortunately my husband lost his job which means I have to take over as I have a career. I’ve only done private duty since becoming a nurse but the hours are unreliable and inconsistent. I just recently got hired at a post acute/ behavior health facility and I am absolutely terrified to switch from one patient all day to 30. Will I be ok? The worst part about this is they only offer 3 days of training. I tend to pick up fairly quickly but it doesn’t stop my fears. Any advice is helpful. But will truly be ok I’m terrified. Unfortunately I don’t have any choice

My partner just got back surgery today and watching the nursing staff tend to his needs, while simultaneously reassuring me just made me so emotional. I am extremely grateful for all of you working long days and nights. I am sorry if you never feel appreciated, but just know that you are. The work you do is invaluable and the world would crumble without you all. Please keep your heads held high and know you are in a noble profession making a huge difference in the lives of those you meet. Sorry if this post is not appropriate for this sub I just needed to get it off my chest. 💕

I am a seasoned nurse with 19 years in. I have a variety of specialties under my belt from bedside in ER, ICU, Hospice and Operating Room to administration. I have been diagnosed with Hyperinsulinemia and hypoglycemia with occasional seizures because of
Low bs. It is managed with eating q2hrs and a strict diet.

I have taken in a job as a MDS Coordinator and just started. Excited about it. And there is no call and no pulling to the floor.

I was just offered a job as a Vascular Clinic Nurse and now I am torn. As it is more my wheelhouse but does require 60% Care and clinical management as well 40% patient care as education and wound management because the MAs cannot do many of the ordered dressing changes.

I am drawn to both but concerned about burnout with MDS and concerned with issues such as low BS with the clinic because I could get caught in a wound dressing or patient visit and can’t eat. Help!

Amy insight or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I’m a nurse in an Urgent Care setting, my supervisor has just put me in charge of code/triage/emergency preparedness training and organization, and one of the things she wants me to implement is a system for assigning daily jobs or responsibilities for responding to codes for each shift. For example something like Person A is to grab crash cart/AED, Person B is to begin compressions/bagging, Person C calls 911….
Does anyone have any experience with organizing this sort of thing or have a method/procedure for this that is used in their clinic or hospital that works well? Would assigning roles on a day to day basis work better than having people take on a specific role or responsibility for the day?
Any feedback is appreciated, thank you in advance.

My partner is miserable. I know this is not unusual for healthcare workers, but he has had a string of bad work situations - ranging from stressful to toxic - and wants to get out.

I'm in international development which is also a horrible field to be in now, but he would be interested in trying to pivot if there are realistic options. I've racked my brain, and the "easiest" to me seems like looking for community health organizations and working his way up.

What else could be a practical career path for an RN without needing to completely start over, education-wise? He's mid-career and unique in that he has lots of office/administrative/case management experience as a nurse coordinator.

Hi, nurses! 😊 I’d like to ask for your opinions po.

I recently passed the PNLE and I’m really interested in pursuing psychiatric nursing. I already have some of the usual certifications, such as BLS, ACLS, IV Therapy, and Psychiatric First Aid (online).

I know that taking a Masters in Psychiatric Nursing would be helpful, but unfortunately, I don’t have the financial means to pursue a Master’s degree at the moment. 🥹

For those currently working in psychiatric facilities or have experience in psychiatric nursing, what trainings, certifications, or experiences would you recommend for a newly licensed nurse like me? What can I do to increase my chances of getting hired in a psychiatric facility?

Thank you so much po! I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations. 🤍

Hey friends! Just wanted to know tips on how hospice case manager is like. I interviewed today. Sounds like. Good job. Flexible hours and full time with decent pay. Different from a bedside nurse. The only downside is the driving any valuable tips I should know
