   NurseNancy88 replied to NurseNancy88's topic in Management

   Well I am relatively new to my area and haven't been at working at my current workplace for very long. The only 2 nurse leaders I know are (who I think are incredible examples of nurse leaders) are my direct supervisor and DON, and as silly as it may...

3. Needing to Interview a DON Nurse Leader

   NurseNancy88 replied to NurseNancy88's topic in Management

   I don't know why anyone would waste their time to thoughtfully respond to random interview questions if they're not even a nurse but I suppose you're right. Now, I don't mind sharing my personal reasons if you are wanting to offer helpful feedback as...

   Hi! I'm a new grad nurse, trying to find a position that offers variety and where patients aren't in too acute of a condition. The hospital near my house has a few openings in a progressive care unit and short stay. I'm not too familiar with either o...

   Thanks for the feedback everyone! So in relation to responses, the most appropriate thing to do would be to call the nursing director who interviewed me, and explain that I will be accepting another job offer from a different hospital. Would it be i...

10. Is it possible to work while attending RN school?

    NurseNancy88 replied to mzzz's topic in California

    I say no. In my opinion, you aren't paying for a more prestigious nursing program, but rather a '7th day adventist' education, the school's denomination.
