Ok, I'm curious, I'll bite. What ways would those be?

I am a California native and I moved to Dallas 9 months ago. I love it here! However, I have a BSN and had three years of experience when I came. My hospital does not hire ADN new grads, and while I...

I was originally licensed in California and didn't have a Texas license when I received two job offers in Dallas. I was given about two months to relocate, endorse my license, and start work. Both...

At my facility we just changed to royal blue, and the top must be embroidered with the hospital name, logo, and title (Registered Nurse, etc.). There was a huge backlash but the hospital went ahead...

Oh, well being from the Philippines changes everything. There is a Nurse Registration forum; you should try posting there. I don't know anything about international nursing issues.

I'm a Christian too but that's some really interesting theology you've got that you can use God's promises in relation to the NCLEX and feel that God let you down since you didn't pass... I agree...

NurseK7, I sent you a pm, but you may not be able to read it if you haven't had 15 posts here yet. When is your interview?

You mean you don't know if you are a nurse? If you have a license number from the board, you are a nurse. If you don't, you're not. The only way to get one is to be eligible for and pass the NCLEX. ...

As someone else brought up, the issue could be passing the preemployment drug test. If you search AN, you will find stories of people who had their job offers rescinded after a positive test, even...

I'll get flamed for this, but I'm horrified. Horrified that it's legal there, and horrified that the best help the medical community could come up with for these two brothers was euthanasia. What...

I'm unclear as to how getting a flu shot is a religious issue...

Here in the Dallas, TX area, it seems like all the hospitals want BSN's. My hospital requires all nurses to have their BSN within 24 months of hire, and they no longer hire ADN new grads. I am from...

It's disheartening to do all of the work required, pass the boards, and then not get a job because you have an ADN and most employers want a BSN. I would strongly encourage you to check out the job...

Um, just wanted to point out that stomach is not the only thing visualized in an EGD. The small intestine (duodenum) is viewed too. I'm having an EGD next week and they want me completely NPO after...

Good luck to all of you! I went through City of Hope's new grad program. It's a great place to work. I know they no longer hire ADN's, so if you're an ADN and you applied, you'll automatically be...

We're stuck in royal blue, and lots of nurses at other hospitals are stuck in navy. It seems like blue is the new white for us.

Oh man... what a disaster.

I'm with an HCA hospital and I have been pleased with my rate of pay. Benefits are so-so, but in this economy I am just glad to have them.

You have to have 15 "quality" posts before the site will let you PM. If you're posting a lot, it goes quick! They want to prevent spammers.

I am an ARC alumnus. Feel free to PM me if you'd like. Congratulations!

Loved reading your recovery stories! Kudos to you all. To the OP, I was surprised at my last drug test that I was not allowed to disclose my prescription medications. I had a legitimate...

Why? Is this post so offensive that we need to warn people that it contains spirituality? Is it going to harm atheists who stumble upon it? You are free to disagree and move on, just as the OP is...

Romney.

This is the first allnurses post where I've actually laughed out loud. Thanks everyone! So awesome I need to share this thread with friends.

OP, I understand how you feel. I used to think I should try to aspire to be an ICU nurse, because after all, everyone knows that ICU nurses are hard core--if you can do that kind of nursing, you can...
