   WondeR.N. replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I think it's definitely worth calling the recruiter--or a few of them. Don't sell yourself short, though, by asking for a new grad spot. You're experienced, and it's worth a lot! Jeez...two years of med/surg is like gold. Why don't you sign up fo...

2. Do you "allnurse" at work ?

   WondeR.N. replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

   There is no policy against it where I work, I have my own office where patients come to see me, it never interferes with the work I do, and I don't take a lunch break. I don't take smoke breaks, talk on the phone or gossip with co-workers. Nobody w...

   Wow--thanks to all the highly experienced nurses, the advanced practice RNs and the physician(s) for posting here. I am a nurse in my first year of practice, and this is all extremely helpful.

   RNpandoraRN, is it possible you've only looked into post-partum doula programs or have spoken? I have a friend who was a birth doula, extremly knowlegeable and a nursing student at the time. She also worked as a tech in L&D. She's now in L&...

6. Should Your DON Talk to You After You Give Your Resignation?

   WondeR.N. replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric

   She is your supervisor and absolutely should at least acknowledge your resignation, unless she's completely unprofessional. If that's the case, it's no wonder you're quitting. You should mention this during your exit interview with HR. Congrats on...

7. Do you "allnurse" at work ?

   WondeR.N. replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

   yep...I'm at work right now. I learn a lot on these boards! I'm not in a hospital, though, so my schedule allows me to take a few moments now and then to check the news, visit allnurses, etc.

8. Survey: Nurse Recruitment

   WondeR.N. replied to NPVAZ's topic in General Nursing

   I agree. I am a newly employed RN with only a few months of experience, and there was no way to enter

9. Debt! I'm making the right choice, right?

   WondeR.N. replied to reganette's topic in General Nursing

   Okey dokey, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Here's what you do. Quit figuring out how badly you're going to be mortgaging your future. First, if you want an outstanding nursing education for a fraction of the cost of what you are looki...

    WondeR.N. replied to Kristen<3's topic in New York

    SPower, I live in the burbs, but I applied to the Visiting Nurse Service of NYC...at the beginning of this year, I think. VNS offers a great new grad training program, similar to hospital nurse residencies, but they had no openings for new grads at ...

11. "Why don't you just be a doctor?"

    WondeR.N. replied to laceface24's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, tara, that overwhelming and exhausting feeling is completely normal. My personal experience was that it steadily got more and more exhausting and stressful with each passing semester. I hope that didn't sound discouraging. Just expect that yo...

    WondeR.N. replied to laceface24's topic in General Nursing

    allthaticanbe, I hope you didn't misinterpret my posting of that article from another area of the site as "doctor bashing." If you look at my earlier post, my point was exactly the opposite: I find it discouraging to see/hear every discussion remote...

13. "Why don't you just be a doctor?"

    WondeR.N. replied to laceface24's topic in General Nursing

    i have always been disappointed when i see/hear disrespectful attitudes/comments between or about doctors and nurses. interestingly, this was posted to the news section of allnurses today: "2009 survey: doctor nurse behavior--problems impact patient ...

    WondeR.N. replied to an0nymous's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The Squire is right. Many nursing schools are highly competitive to get into, but if you're a good student in high school, you'll have NO problem at all. The TEAS is easy...EASY...and I took it almost 20 years after graduating from high school (got...

15. "Why don't you just be a doctor?"

    WondeR.N. replied to laceface24's topic in General Nursing

    ekramona said what I was going to say. Doctors and nurses have completely different approaches. They perform two different functions that complement each other. A lot of people are still of the mindset that doctors are nurses' bosses, and that nur...
