   1. Is your RN current? If not, look into what you need to do. 2. Check with BRN, do you need refresher course? If so, look for one with a clinical on the floor component. 3. Figure out "Your story." Why you left, what you have been doing to stay rele...

3. New LPN, Graduated 5 Years Ago - Resume Question

   GoodDay2017 replied to rsmblue's topic in Job Hunt

   Agree with above. I would state why I was out even in my resume. I listed my time away as "Student, Volunteer, Homemaker. Chose to focus on raising children after husband unexpectedly passed away. Furthered professional development through continued ...

4. IBCLC ?

   GoodDay2017 replied to CardiacUnderground's topic in Ob/Gyn

   You can also get experience / hours by volunteering at any midwife run clinics or breastfeeding groups (even hospital based groups). Many appreciate the assistance and are happy to teach.

5. I graduated with a BSN 10 years ago, I've only now decided to become a Nurse.

   GoodDay2017 replied to Discreet007's topic in General Nursing

8. Resume Critique for new grad

   GoodDay2017 replied to Ocean_B's topic in Job Hunt

   My opinion - Leave off address, it will be in your application. Add LinkedIn address (yes, you should have one.) Remove word "Objective" it is implied. I suggest 2-3 sentences highlighting who you are, what you bring, job applying for. Education -...

9. Is all nursing experience treated the same?

   GoodDay2017 replied to guest17's topic in General Nursing

   Its all about how you sell yourself in your resume, cover letter, and entire application. Taking a non acute job does not mean you will never get a hospital job. We see many move to acute care after 6-12 months. Its all about leaning how to correctly...

11. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    GoodDay2017 replied to MunoRN's topic in Headlines

    I agree. Bring back well baby nursery to all postpartum departments. Juggling 4 hig acuity couplets, moms who "hit the wall" at night, no family to help, or Dad is exhausted, they need a break. Being their nurse with 3 other couplets (One on Mag, SGA...
