1. Need help writng an OB Resume

   MrsW1109 replied to essedus's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I agree with the previous poster about combining some of the functions. Also, in regards to your statement about including the triage section. I would write it as "Triage, admit, assess and provide care for clients in labor, for induction, cesarean ...

3. Got my RN License in Dec 09; Still no Job

   MrsW1109 replied to AugustBoy's topic in New Nurse

   What areas are you looking for? Hospital work only? Or certain shifts? As a parent and wife, I know how you must be feeling. It's very difficult when you feel like you can't provide for your family. I'm a new grad and was recently hired into a new...

5. Is ANYONE hiring new grads?? ugh

   MrsW1109 replied to jmokeefe's topic in Maryland

   It has been my experience, as well, that LTC/SNFs actually pay the same, if not better, than some hospitals. I am a new grad (graduated in May 09) and am currently working in a SNF (Skilled nursing facility). If you are looking for that "perfect"...

8. A Day In the Life of a New Grad

   MrsW1109 replied to E Non Imus, RN's topic in General Nursing

   I would seriously send this into a local newspaper or something. That is the best description of new grad nurses... That being said, it took me 4 months to find a job. I finally found one in a skilled nursing facility, but they didn't have any job...

9. Should I take the job?

   MrsW1109 replied to tabswifeRN's topic in New Nurse

   I would agree, and say take the job. I gave up on trying to work in a hospital about 2 months ago. I am being hired at a skilled nursing home, but my dream job is maternity. L&D, mother/baby, NICU, any of it! My thoughts was, 1) it's a paying...

13. can somebody tell me what is exam cram

    MrsW1109 replied to runpindertoor's topic in NCLEX

    To be honest, I didn't really use the book. It did have a GREAT cheat sheet that you could tear out, for things that most people forget (had drugs and lab values and a couple of other things). I brought it with me to the test center and looked it o...

14. can somebody tell me what is exam cram

    MrsW1109 replied to runpindertoor's topic in NCLEX

    I used the Exam Cram book and CD. The CD was great for drilling questions, and it does have a simulated Exam mode that will cut you off after you have "passed" I did not complete all of the tests that it tells you to before taking the simulated exam...
