   Blossom Girl replied to lovelie29's topic in General Nursing

   Try to think of an ethical dilemma you came across in a clinical experience.... it might seem small, but examining an experience you acually lived will make your paper stronger, and will give you a chance for introspection :)

   Blossom Girl replied to dittosaur-bandaid's topic in New Nurse

3. Waiting for job... how long?

   Blossom Girl replied to mzznurse's topic in New Nurse

   I think it's really great that you already have a relationship with the nurse manager, that should give you an edge over any other new grad applying. But I still wouldn't wait. It's like they say: "don't put all your eggs in one basket". I would a...

5. Resume critique, please!

   Blossom Girl replied to canigraduate's topic in Career Support

   I like the second one better, as well. One thing I noticed about the second one is that you stated clearly and quantifiably how you were an asset to your previous employers. I think it has a stronger impact than the first one. I also like the idea...

    Blossom Girl replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    Blossom Girl replied to ICU_RN_BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how pronounced your speech impediment is, but if you are able to communicate with people you don't know successfully now, even if it a little bit of a struggles, I don't see why that should stop you from becoming a nurse. It might not m...
