1. Strong Personalities on my unit and a rude CNA

   RNursingAssistant replied to RNursingAssistant's topic in Professionalism

   When approaching my NM would it be better to have other nurses who have experienced this to be with me, or should it be a one on one?

2. Strong Personalities on my unit and a rude CNA

   RNursingAssistant replied to RNursingAssistant's topic in Professionalism

   These issues have been noticed by other nursing assistants and nurses as well. I can count a handful of coworkers who have asked me if this has also happened to me, where I realize I am not the only one experiencing toxicity at the workplace. I think...

3. Strong Personalities on my unit and a rude CNA

   RNursingAssistant posted a topic in Professionalism

   Nurses, I have tried talking to a rude and lazy nursing assistant about her behavior. By the advice of a coworker, I discussed it with the assistant nurse manager. I know the CNA and ANM have known each other for quite some time, but nothing was reso...

4. A spoiled but well-connected coworker

   RNursingAssistant replied to RNursingAssistant's topic in Relations

   I have to let it go. Completing this project is more important than dilly dallying on a coworker's behavior. I will have to learn to work with a variety of attitudes. At least, this coworker is inexperienced and may not be aware of the ripple effect ...

5. A spoiled but well-connected coworker

   RNursingAssistant posted a topic in Relations

   My problem is with one particular coworker. Today, I felt like it was the last straw. I'm usually annoyed at her quips and childish behavior that other coworkers notice, but always smile sweetly at. I ponder is it because she's related to high person...

   RNursingAssistant replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government

   On 04/10 I got my official job offer from VA Palo Alto, along with the salary. It doesn't state that I need to reply, so should I just show up to orientation or give them a courtesy call that I accept?

8. VA Palo Alto New Grad RN Program- Spring 2015

   RNursingAssistant posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Hello everybody. I'm surprised nobody created this thread to date yet. I recently applied to the VA Palo Alto the day of the application cycle ended. I put in a tailored cover letter detailing why I wanted to work for VA and what experiences made me ...

9. Areas more likely to hire new grads in ICU

   RNursingAssistant replied to DeepBreath's topic in Job Hunt

   Dumb luck for me? I'm interviewing this Friday for a Critical Care Residency in Arizona from California. Its a rural teaching hospital, and off the bat they require a 3 year contract if job offer is accepted. If contract is broken, you must pay back ...

    RNursingAssistant replied to Whit88's topic in Pennsylvania

    Hello! I live far away from Allentown, PA, like the other side of the coast, FAR! Recently, I was invited for Lehigh Valley's group interview. It's stated that it'll be 3 hours long, I'm wondering what could the interview entail for it to be so long....

13. Kaplan on demand

    RNursingAssistant replied to biglala's topic in NCLEX

    I only used Kaplan on demand (Mainly for their trainer, and qbanks) I browsed through part of their intro and medication. Then I realized it was too time consuming to watch. I used Michael Linares Nursing videos on Youtube to brush up on content and ...

    Hello fellow nurses! I recently had a discussion with my nursing manager about prospects of hiring me as a new graduate RN. I have been working on the unit as a CNA for over half a year. I've gotten stellar compliments from nurses and espec...

15. Do hiring managers care if you've failed a class or clinical?

    RNursingAssistant posted a topic in Student Assist

    This has always been a question I wanted to know about. Many nursing students have not passed a clinical or a class. Some of these nursing students failed because they simply had taken more than they can chew, and had deaths in the family that caused...
