1. What would you do

   SashaO replied to SashaO's topic in Activism

   Thanks. I try not to let little things get to me. In the future I plan to think about it and laugh. I learned today that she is currently on chemotherapy so.....I took that into consideration. I'll just learn what I can and pray for her

2. What would you do

   SashaO posted a topic in Activism

   Recently while having a discussion with my manager on the second day of my job, the vice president comes in, introduces herself, and interrogates me about why I chose nursing and my motives for moving out of state. I did not mind the inquisition, how...

4. Relocation guidance/advice

   SashaO posted a topic in General Nursing

   Due to the economy, I've decided to relocate and have applied to jobs out of state. I have no problem moving as I have no obligations. My father was in the military and I have been to 6 elementary schools, so I am no stranger to adapting to change. M...

5. Which came first, the $ or the ♥ ?

   SashaO replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing

   I've always been a nurturing person....(though unfortunately sometimes in toxic situations.) It's trying at times but whenever I feel a bit jaded, I take a mental health day....to go running, get pampered, and spend time with loved ones. I DO want to...

6. Has anyone tried this.....

   SashaO posted a topic in Emergency

   Since I want to work in a hospital and already have my RN license, I was wondering if they'd accept me as a regular volunteer. The thing I'm concerned about is liability... I feel that by volunteering I'd get the hang out the people and culture...and...

   Thank you all for your support. I'm going to send a letter to their HR.

8. I've had ENOUGH (vent)

   SashaO replied to SashaO's topic in General Nursing

   You know what is worse? I just found out that they hired my coworker, who I informed of the opening because I was told they would need more people, and he was called today and asked when he could start. He told me in his interview they were looking t...

9. Underestimated

   SashaO posted a topic in Emergency

   Appearances do matter. I'm 5'1" and have been described as "demure" and "sweet" but there is always a limit to anyone's kindness... I understand that the first person you'd ask for help wouldn't be me if some 300 lb psych. pt decided to become comb...

10. STUPID interview questions, add yours here

    SashaO replied to hoolahan's topic in General Nursing

    Not a question, but statement, "Well, you are so calm...." Give me a break, I'm coming off the meth or maybe I'm imagining how I'm going to devour you like Hannibal Lectur. JK

11. I've had ENOUGH (vent)

    SashaO posted a topic in General Nursing

    It used to be funny that people that were unfamiliar with healthcare would tell me that pursuing nursing was great because it was a "recession proof job", NOW, it's irritating. I have NEVER witnessed such unprofessionalism from managers and DONs. TW...

13. How do you become a Clinical RN II, III....

    SashaO posted a topic in General Nursing

    And so forth. I did a search online and the only results were for job opportunities. I've heard that BSN RNs are automatically II, is this true? Also, as a new grad. RN with an Associate's (soon to be, fingers crossed) will I have to have a year(s) ...

15. For those of you attending/graduates of Stanbridge...

    SashaO replied to Blessed2beStressed's topic in LPN-RN

    Thank you! I've finally adjusted to the RN program here. Rns have so much more independence, something I'm not used to as an LVN. Good luck in your classes and keep your head up. You'll be an LVN before you know it.
