2. How do I renew my RN license (first time)???

   camarogirl512 replied to SoulSpirit_Rn's topic in General Nursing

   I am not sure about Florida, but in California the first time you renew (which is the month after your next birthday) you do not need to compete and CEU's. You usually can find this information on the BRN's website. As far as the health department k...

3. Just said "yes" to a travel job and a prestigious hospital wants to hire me

   camarogirl512 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

   Do what you think is best for you, because as soon as that travel company (or any company for that matter) doesn't need you, you will be out the door! Two weeks notice is plenty of time. Good luck!!

4. Pre employment urine drug screen for nursing home, will they test for alcohol?

   camarogirl512 replied to RN_jobhunting's topic in Geriatric

   Did you get a receipt from the drug screening? I know when I did mine for multiple jobs that I got a slip back that said what they tested for. Best of luck to you!

   I know of some soon to be mommy's wearing a solid color tee-shirt with an open scrub jacket in their later months of pregnancy. Good luck and congrats!!

6. Too old for school?

   camarogirl512 replied to kittykitty49's topic in General Nursing

   Although I am only 25, I say go for it and follow your dream. I feel like nursing school attracts a large variety of students. In my nursing school we ranged from 20 years old to over 50. It was great to have that variety as you learn from the old...

7. Does the Pearson Vue trick work? 911

   camarogirl512 replied to 7Laquisha's topic in NCLEX

   So sorry you didn't pass OP. Like another poster said. Keep your head up and don't give up. If you made it through nursing school you can definitely pass! I know it will be hard, but take some time for yourself and a week or two off from thinking ab...

8. Most horrific interview ever !

   camarogirl512 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

   Something similar to this happened to me. At the time of the interview they only had 2 open positions, but the hiring manager had just got word that a few more positions were opening up but they had to wait for HR to put them through. I was patient...

9. Most horrific interview ever !

   camarogirl512 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

   I worked for a private physician who sounded similar to this doctor. Straight and to the point and very blunt, but it was a great learning experience and after awhile when you exceed her expectations (which I believe you will have no problem doing) ...

    QUIET or SLOW That is when I shudder and hide too!

11. Weirdest nursing thing you've done in "real life"?

    camarogirl512 replied to mama_d's topic in Humor

    I do the same thing, even while watching baseball on tv I will tell my husband that player has really nice veins and I get this weird look from him. When I was in nursing school, the conversations we would have while eating lunch would send most pe...

12. New grad, just got a job offer in fresno, needs advice pls

    camarogirl512 replied to DlittleRN's topic in California

    Going for an interview can never be a bad thing, the worst that can happen is that you decline a position, but you never know it could be a better opportunity for you and leave the position you already accepted. Good luck in whichever you chose!

13. Thank you gift?

    camarogirl512 replied to student_nurse123's topic in General Nursing

    I got my preceptor a massage gift certificate, but I was also with her for over 6 months because I had her for a summer internship too. Though it does not have to be anything expensive just a nicely written thank you note that shows how appreciativ...

14. What do you do when you're a pt?

    camarogirl512 replied to Sarah G's topic in General Nursing

    I dont come right out and say I am a nurse, but sometimes I ask questions that lead to them asking what I do for a living. My care should not be affected by what I do for my profession. Also, I don't believe another nurse should become uncomfortabl...

15. When hiring, do hospitals look at where you got your BSN?

    camarogirl512 replied to traceydolovesyou's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure about the nursing program you speak of, but I went to a Private nursing school as well, and now have a lot of student loan debt. When I starting nursing school it wasn't a question for me because certain hospitals in the area I lived w...
