  1. I have a job interview tomorrow and I am putting my reference list together. How do should I write them? I kind of have a template but I'm not sure if this is right. Thanks in advance Name RN Colleague-ICU Hospital name Phone number email
  2. The Dark Side of Unions

    From what the OP described, that's how my non-union hospital ran. And that's how my union hospital is run. However, I like working at my union hospital more. I am more respected.
  3. Pay is going to depend on the cost of living in the area where you plan on working. I can see new grads in Cali making 40 bucks an hour because the cost of living is high. In Michigan, New grads start at 24-25 bucks an hour.
  4. Over riding a resident?

    Seems to me you cared more about yourself than you did your patient. It is really concerning for me to read that you are more concerned about the regular staff coming in at 7a.m. to complete orders that should have remained STAT orders to begin with....
  5. Who's responsibility is it?

  6. Over riding a resident?

  10. Attractive nurses in danger?!

    Oh, and wear scrubs.
  11. Attractive nurses in danger?!

    Well, stop going on about how "attractive" you are. As far as I am concerned, it's irrelevant.
  12. Attractive nurses in danger?!

    Confident doesn't mean attractive though. Just because one is "pretty" or "attractive" doesn't mean they are exempt from being attacked. The OP should be more modest and just so ya know, the patients could care less about how "attractive" you are...
  13. Attractive nurses in danger?!

    good grief, not another thread like this. It's less about your "attractiveness" and more about your safety...
  14. Job interview next week!!!

    Thanks, I actually spoke with the manager already to set up the interview. I got the hours, the weekend hours and the call hours. It's not a bad deal. It's two twelves and two eights, days. I'm excited, I'm just hoping I can get this job. I need a ch...
  15. Job interview next week!!!

    Thanks. What should I say when they ask me why I want to leave my current position? I was planning on saying that I wanted to get experience in a different area of nursing or something to that effect.
