   mcpnurse replied to mcpnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I guess it does have its benefits... your last sentence cracked me up And yes, there are a lot more things to be annoying about but it just bothers me when some patients tell me that they don't want me as their nurse because I'm "too young". Then I ...

   A little about me: I'm in my mid 20's, 5'1 tall, and petite with a baby-face look. Thanks to genetics, I look short and younger than I am. I don't like it when patients calls me "cute" and tiny, and if I'm still in high school. I used to say "tha...

6. Chances of getting into NICU after working at private office?

   mcpnurse replied to carebearsRN's topic in NICU

   Agree that any experience as a nurse is beneficial. At least it shows that you're not just staying at home doing nothing. I think the fact that you're doing women's health is great b/c it is related to babies. Try joining NANN and other associations...

   mcpnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   dumb questions but just wondering... people have been telling me that certain specialty RN's make more than others within the same hospital. Is this true? or do all RN's make the same? or is it diff. at diff. hospitals? (fyi, I live in NY)

12. NYC/NJ NICU jobs- care to network? :)

    mcpnurse replied to mcpnurse's topic in NICU

    i guess what the recruiter meant was that i'm not fresh out of school anymore. that wasn't nice to hear. I responded by saying that I'm motivated and I still do retain the material I've learned.... blah blah =T

13. Nursing is making me cynical about humanity. (vent)

    mcpnurse replied to HDARN's topic in New Nurse

    just letting you know that you are not alone. I'm in the same situation where I thought the unit was welcoming to new grads but it was the total opposite once I start working on the floor. I agree with the above post that 90% of the time it's a man...

    I recently heard that they no longer suggest a "packet" to help you study for the pharm test. Is this true? If so, can you recommend how to study for it?
