   I feel your pain!!! Employment history takes the most time having to fill in dates, addresses, phone numbers, supervisors, etc. I actually created a Word document with all my details in one place. So all I have to do is copy & paste into those...

2. Unit Manager asks to cancel interview. What do you do?

   beachybutt replied to GCar's topic in Job Hunt

   How would they even know if you were going to other interviews? Seems like a silly thing to ask of a candidate

3. volunteering won't help

   beachybutt replied to procrastinator911's topic in Job Hunt

   Since you're already a nurse, the purpose of volunteering isn't to get "exposure", but rather to get your foot in the door with Peds, right? Maybe you could emphasize to the volunteer coordinator that you don't mind doing clerical work and stocking ...

5. Terrible Interview

   beachybutt replied to danish0914's topic in Job Hunt

   Don't give up on this interview you just had. I actually had job offer after what I thought was the worst interview of my life! If you feel like you can't articulate yourself well, then perhaps it would be good to practice so you don't run into t...

6. Relationship and Nursing School

   beachybutt replied to simplysw33t's topic in General Students

   You deserve so much better!!! This person is NOT treating you well. Wouldn't you rather be with a real man who cares about you, supports you, communicates with you, and doesn't text other girls? Wouldn't life (and nursing school) be better without...

7. Quitting tomorrow, in panic

   beachybutt replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in New Nurse

   You are not alone and we are in the same boat, my dear!! My first job as an RN was a horrible fit and my physical/mental health simply deteriorated. I knew during clinical rotations that the hospital wasn't the right place for me, but I ignored thi...

    beachybutt replied to Jamesha#TeamRn2Be's topic in General Students

    Guess what!!! I had the exact same thing happen to me my first semester of nursing school. It was awful: I failed my first quiz and it made me question everything. We all have this moment sooner or later, but believe me, it will get better! I end...

11. SNA?

    beachybutt replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    I like being part of the SNA because I can get to know other students who are further in our nursing program. It's been helpful to hear what they have to say about upcoming classes and such. I also enjoy being around people (of all ages) who can unde...
