  1. Outrageous Complaints

    A lot of these are from our monthly discharge survey reports: "You should have soft serve available to families on the floor." "My 15 year old son was placed in a room next to a baby. It cried all night. Unacceptable." "The nurse didn't come in ...
  2. Do you go to work with vomiting/diarrhea?

    I absolutely do not. Thankfully have only had to call in for GI symptoms twice. First time was working my old job with a crummy manager (but awesome staff and shift supervisors who were very understanding of the fact that I was legitimately miserab...
  3. Terminating employment - advice needed!

    When I left a bad situation a year ago (I left at the beginning of a mass exudous), I simply told my manager that I was pursuing an opportunity to aligned better with my goals as a nurse.
  4. Look for new job or stay put?

    I just need some "what would you do in my situation" advice. Currently I work 0.6 day shift, two 12 hours shifts a week and about a 40 minute, 35 mile drive each way. I honestly enjoy my job but I'm in a rut financially and I need to work more. I t...
  5. What did you do before nursing?

    Worked at Target in HS. In college I was a advising center receptionist, dog walker/doggie daycare worker, nanny, waitress/bartender and gymnastics coach.

  7. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    I know of a few who opted for the skype interview in the past few years and were offered. I think they understand that most of the applicants are neck deep in their last semester and simply cannot miss the clinical time to fly out so that is why the...
  8. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    If I had been offered I probably would've have opted for the skype interview option. Paying for a plane ticket and hotel room is not in the budget whatsoever right now.
  9. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    I was wait listed for Peds Acute & Specialty. Disappointed but not the end of the world.
  10. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    I didn't recieve an email about a pilot residency either but I believe I also unchecked the spot where they ask if you'd like to receive emails about job openings. Still waiting though. I'm ready to hear back either way.
  11. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    You enter your instructors email and it automatically sends them whatever form it is they need to fill out. It's all done electronically.
  12. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    I'm just waiting on references to come in then I can submit my app. I'm applying for the pediatric acute & specialty care track. I'm from WI and have been licensed here for 2 months and can't seem find a job around here. I initially planned on...
  13. Time for endorsement?

    Thank you everyone for your responses. I was offered a position at this job and opted not to take it for various reasons. The first being that I knew it would be unlikely that I would have either a temp or permanent license by the start date. The ...
  14. Time for endorsement?

    Anybody recently have their license endorsed in IL? I'm looking for a general timeline, preferably for endorsing during the summer months. I am anticipating about a month between the NCLEX and the possible start of a job. I've heard that IL is no...
  15. Aurora Hiring Process

    I applied, interviewed and shadowed on a unit and despite calling, I heard nothing for about a month until I got a call from another unit to come interview. That manager asked me where else I had interviewed, I told her, and apparently the manager i...
