1. Got An Offer For Dayshift But Was Asked To Work Nightshift

   bunnyacRN replied to yoon519's topic in General Nursing

   As a manager before I officially start an interview I’m clear on which shift I’m hiring for! My facility doesn’t support a “bait and switch” philosophy! I would find another position, this manager lacks veracity and a respect for autonomy! Run as fas...

4. Opinions: Best scrubs?

   bunnyacRN replied to raebabelvn's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I love the Wink brand! They run about 20 bucks per piece, but the pockets are AMAZING!! I can load them with all my essential tools and they never look bulky! I bought Iguana med as well, but wink is definitely my new favorite! They also wash up nice...

5. Starting pay for new rn

   bunnyacRN replied to vn2998's topic in Michigan

7. iPod use in LTC facility

   bunnyacRN replied to DDdove's topic in General Nursing

   We cannot use any type of electronic device in my facility. It leaves me at a total disadvantage because I love using resources. It makes no sense to me but the powers that be strongly enforce this rule. Hopefully things will change because I'm about...

8. Michigan Grads, where are the best book deals?

   bunnyacRN replied to Anne36's topic in New Nurse

   I bought my books from amazon. I'm not an advocate of credit cards but i got their visa card b/c of the rewards. You get 25$ gift card for every 2500 points and the good thing is that amazon sells everything. Also if you enter you campus email you ge...

9. Not Sure I Can Take Much More Rejection

   bunnyacRN replied to newgradRN001's topic in New Nurse

   Don't fret! I found my job on craigslist! I graduated in August and I was at wits end so I went the nonconventional way. I have a job at a skilled nursing facility, not my first choice, but the pay is good and it's close to my home. Don't give up, I'...

    bunnyacRN replied to vn2998's topic in Michigan

    Absolutely! Sorry about that. I'm at the Medilodge of Sterling Heights. I also heard that Clinton Aire is hiring, I believe they're located on 17 mile road, not sure of the cross streets. I applied for Medilodge on Craigslist believe it or not and th...

    bunnyacRN replied to vn2998's topic in Michigan

    I gave up on the hospital and I found a nursing facility five miles from my home. My starting pay was 27 an hour. They don't give differentials. I just got my first paycheck and I got a 100 dollar bonus and a Meijer giftcard. I wasn't expecting that....

13. Ok I am an RN but without 1 year experience I am nothing (vent)

    bunnyacRN replied to 9livesRN's topic in New Nurse

    I know exactly how you feel! Oh the self loathing and feelings of inadequacy. The endless chain of rejection responses to the jobs that you are qualified for if only given one chance, at least one interview. THAT'S I ASK!!! Yep, that was me for 6 mo...

    You can do it!!! I'm testing Monday at 8 am and I've been prepping since I graduated in August. I've been constantly praying! I took Kaplan (did EVERY question), I bought Saunders, ExamCram and I've been utilizing the free Exam masters website Univer...
