  1. New internal grad-Looking for recommendations

    it is their job to save lives - they get paid for it like any other hospital, hehe. Have you looked at other hospitals? Look at TCU/LTC too, you dont want to be a stale new grad with no RN job which is around the one year mark. Then people wonder wh...
  2. It will be my last day of work soon and there are about 30 people I work with. Is it common courtesy to bring treats on your last day of work or does the supervisor/coworkers normally bring something? If I should bring something, should I bring c...
  3. Job market in MN/WI (What are our chances?)

    St Joseph's is part of healtheast which includes Woodwinds and Bethesda and St. Johns. They only hire new grads twice a year and the last round they only hired a total of 8 new grads for their entire system. Guess how many apply - hundreds upon hund...
  4. I currently live a half hour from a home health visit and the visit only takes 1 hr- 1 1/2 hrs. I didn't realize it was a half an hour away so I called back within 5 minutes to say I didn't want to take it ( I have a choice). But the staffer alread...
  5. I am a new grad and its starting to irk many how many times people say: have you found a nursing job yet followed by why haven't you, theres a nursing shortage out there. Other things I've heard is - theres tons of hospitals in the city, you have so...
  6. Heres what I don't get about hiring

    Yes, that's true. What really should have happened is that he should have failed nursing school and not be a nurse in the first place but they let him slide by and gave him multiple chances to shape up which he also half-assed. I also know he is a sc...
  7. Applying to multiple positions at one hospital system

    Yes, but does it look bad to recruiters/managers if i apply to both peds positions and adult positions at the same hospital? I don't want to screw my chances with the entire hospital system just because they think it looks like i don't know what are...
  8. Two new grad candidates compete for a job and both have worked at said hospital and both have an equal amount of healthcare experience and in. One candidate almost failed nursing school, bad GPA, forgets everything under the sun including due dates...
  9. So I've read on here to apply to whatever you can because new grads can't be picky. But then I read don't apply to multiple types of positions in one hospital system because it makes it look like you don't know what you want. I take that to mean do...
  10. I have a client who refuses showers. He comprehends most things but seems withdrawn and has alzheimers. When asked if he will let us give him a shower he gets agitated. If we explain that it is important that he is clean for hygeine and health rea...
  11. careful what you say about the nclex FYI

    Good question. Yeah, saying prioritization etc is fine. But they are like the FBI, they can track you anywhere, wahaha. J/K, maybe? There's a chance one could provide the exact question and answer and get away with it. But why risk it? With all ...
  12. Just a reminder to everyone to be careful of what you say about the nclex. You're techinically not suppose to disclose the content of questions. I think saying SATA and infection control is okay but beyond that the line gets blurry and I've seen a ...
  13. So the application allowed me to attach either a doc. pdf. or text file to my online application for my resume and cover letter. I attached doc. but when I preview it, the formatting is all off and there are a few random symbols where there shouldn'...
  14. is 0.4 FTE worth it?

    I am a new grad who was offered a 0.4 FTE at a nice hospital. They will orient me at 0.8. Is is worth it because ideally I'd like to work 0.8. Will I easily pick up shifts or will I be able to get my foot in the door so I can easily switch to more...
  15. will nurse managers wait on you?

    If I apply and get an interview now will the nurse manager still want to hire me if I couldn't start for two months? I am a new graduate so I still have to graduate and take the NCLEX!
