  1. How do you Handle Labs & Patient Inquiries........

    It's poor customer service to make a patient wait for their results over the weekend, especially when they know you're worried about them. The nurse should have either told you that the results weren't available yet (I realize this is a lie, but perh...
  2. Interview question for those who have been through it

    Practice some of the basic questions that are asked in every interview... 1. Tell me about yourself. 2. What made you interested in applying here? 3. What would your co-workers say about you? 4. Tell me about your greatest accomplishment, and a proje...
  3. BSN GPA on Resume...I am worried I messed it up.

    I don't think I've ever had to put my GPA on a resume or application. Did they specifically request it? If so and they ask about it, just tell them that the previous art degree courses you took brought down your GPA but that you did well in the nursi...
  4. So confused about Excelsior...

    It sounds like you'd be best off staying in your current program if you're already almost 50% done. You could try checking out technical/community colleges in Tennessee and see how many of your credits will transfer. Good luck!
  5. "You've got 4 days to improve or else..." ... advice?

    I can't get the "quote" function to work for some reason, so I've copied and pasted below: I disagree with the lines 2-4 ("Once there is blood in the water, the sharks start circling. This is a common management error. Once they hear a whiff of a ...
  6. "I'd take an ICU or ER RN over a resident any day"

    Great to hear :) @ pinkfluffybunny -- So true!!
  7. help plz soon to be in clinicals

    Danskos are definitely the best, by far. They are comfortable, durable, and last a really long time. In fact, I recently had a pair that I felt wore out too quickly after 18 months of use...so I contacted them and they replaced them completely free o...
  8. When did you take your NCLEX?

    I was a December graduate as well. I signed up for the exam as soon as my school had all my paper work submitted. I was able to get on the schedule for February, and I passed the first time. The sooner, the better! :) Good luck! And congrats on your ...
  9. Do RN's insert EJ's at your hospital

    Only anesthesiology was allowed to place EJs when I worked in the hospital.
  10. What is the answer for this?

    Definitely A & C.
  11. critique my cover letter!

    Is there an open position for which you are applying? If so, it sounds good except you may want to try limiting your use of the word "I". It's difficult given that cover letters are always in reference to yourself, but the general rule of thumb is to...
  12. I have a BSN, but never passed boards

    lol @ PneumothoraxThanks for correcting me.
  13. Incident report...Whos responsible?

    Did this happen on your facilitiy grounds/property, and/or is the driver employed/contracted by the facility? If so, it is the facility's responsibility to complete the incident report. If it was off the facility property and didn't happen under the ...
  14. Resignation Advice & Help Requested

    Your letter is fantastic! Congratulations on your new job! Good luck!
  15. I have a BSN, but never passed boards

    I don't believe you're actually considered to have your BSN until you pass the boards, but I could be wrong -- I thought you were considering a "GN" or "Graduate Nurse" until you passed the exam. Like I said though, I could be mistaken.Have you consi...
