4. which to choose???

   LetItBe_12 replied to jandm855's topic in Job Hunt

   The choice is really up to you but I would consider the nicu job if it is really your dream and where you think you would be happiest. That is an area that is hard to come by especially for a new grad. It all depends on I think how reliant you are in...

5. What scrubs to buy?

   LetItBe_12 replied to RRiesenberg's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would definitely clarify with your program before buying scrubs about the type. Even if you don't have to buy a specific brand most of the time there is at least a specific color they want. Maybe they forgot to give you this information but maybe n...

   LetItBe_12 replied to docpsychrn's topic in Travel

   I agree with the above posters. You didn't sign anything and he can't force you to work there. Just make sure to save any messages as proof of the threatening interaction. I think he is "bluffing" when he says blacklisting you. And if this place has ...

10. New Job- Odd Response From HR

    LetItBe_12 replied to GimiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you might be reading into their comment too much. They probably just want to notify the supervisor of the department to make sure that exact date works for them. If you have to go through an orientation or something they may need to have a st...

    I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Are you trying to solve a medication math calculation? The only time I hear about KVO is when there are orders for running fluids into the IV. KVO means keep vein open. This is so the vessel doesn't clot itself of...

    I don't know that I would give it the same day if you are meaning exactly after the interview finishes. In my opinion a thank you should be given at least a few hours after the interview at a minimum and before 2 days had passed. I think the intervi...

    If you interview both with HR and a nurse manager from a floor should you write a thank to both or just the NM? Both were really great and I figured I should to both but wasn't for sure. Thanks.

    LetItBe_12 replied to gray07's topic in Job Hunt

    Chicago is very tough to get a job in if your a new grad. It seems most people have connections in the hospital system in Chicago if they do get a job. Don't get discouraged. Keep looking. And if possible check out other cities or states if you are a...

    Those you stated would all be good choices if you have the ability to choose. It also depends on your area of interest to the unit you might like to work after you graduate. I have noticed that you have a better chance getting hired after graduation ...
