   inchRistIcaN replied to NewgradRNMT's topic in Job Hunt

   inchRistIcaN replied to EllieBean13's topic in General Students

   Sorry that happened to you and made you feel all bad! I definately think questions are good, but just remember there is a time and place for asking questions. We were told we would automaticall fail clinicals if we asked a question in front of a pati...

4. Question for anyone who has sought a job!

   inchRistIcaN replied to Jammin' RN's topic in Job Hunt

   My mom always told me, when asking for something you need, the worst response you can get is no, or a laugh with a no. So shoot for it, if the worse you will get is a no. I live in Dallas and I have been doing it. I was told by HR here and in El Pa...

5. What type of nursing can I do now?

   inchRistIcaN replied to Budzmom's topic in General Nursing

   Sad to hear about your accident, but thankfully, nursing has different careers inside of nursing. I always thought forensic nursing sounded cool! What about a nursing instructor or camp nurse over the summers. I hope it all works out for you!!!! :)

   I don't have a good poop one, but I got a good bloody one! When I was in nursing school I was in the pre-op for surgery helping all the patients get ready, and this one nurse couldn't stick a patient, so they called me in to see if I could get it to ...

    inchRistIcaN replied to inchRistIcaN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I am going to wear business attire when I get an interview. I had just read on allnurses, that people who went to the actual hospital to talk to DONs and NMs wore scrubs, and a lot of them got jobs that way. I've never heard of doing that unt...
