   MissHavokk replied to MissHavokk's topic in Career Support

   Agreed. I'm actually quite worried, as are a few other nurses. We are seeing days with 6 pts and we are now going to start recovering patients straight off the table in EP and cath/vasc labs. We are expected to handle very acute patients but we are l...

2. Breaking contract?

   MissHavokk replied to MissHavokk's topic in Career Support

   Given the reasons if given in a more professional, shorter format it seems an adequate explaination that the interviewers shouldn't see it too negatively? And thank you. I truly appreciate the help. I really do.

3. Breaking contract?

   MissHavokk replied to MissHavokk's topic in Career Support

   I got offered the interview later this week. They asked if I was already in contract. If so and I did leave, they'd buy me out. However, that it is generally frowned upon. I haven't been to the actual interview yet. The he contract is 2 years, one y...

4. Breaking contract?

   For example, there was a promise of specialized training - such as the critical care classes, classes beyond that of the average new hire RN requirements. In the contract it reads just 'training in the cost of 6000.' I received only that of any new R...

5. Breaking contract?

   MissHavokk posted a topic in Career Support

   I am a nurse resident on a cardiology floor. I am okay with my floor and it has its quirks but it's a decent job. I signed on with intent to stay- at first. My residency never really existed, it was more just a contract lacking a sign on bonus to sta...

7. (Industrial) Piercings and Nursing

   MissHavokk replied to iamdjk's topic in Career Support

   Nursing schools tend to be a little more stricter. I was always the kid who sort of pushed the rules - where making "two earrings" as an industrial work. It's technically just two holes and it's connected. I have had two industrials at the same time...

8. RN to Paramedicine?

   MissHavokk posted a topic in Career Support

   I like my job, I do. However, when I started in Cards, I thought the floor was more of a CCU or something. Turns out it's a glorified Med/Surg floor. Which is fine, I like it and I've learned things. I was promised opportunities to Critical Care and ...

11. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    MissHavokk replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

    OMGGG. *-* /dying/ I got 76 and when it shut off I panicked on the spot. I had just made peace with it not cutting off at 75, which everyone seems to regard as something positive. I tried to stay naive to all of the signs and tricks hoping that I wou...

    I took the NCLEX-RN on Wednesday and I get a pop up that says "recent scheduled cannot schedule at this time, contact such and such person" like the old message, but I see some of you getting messages about having passed, cannot reschedule. Is the o...
