  1. First RN job, and I'm having second thoughts

    stockmanjr replied to jennsrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's because they can. Hospitals in tight markets can be picky about who they hire. Also, why would you hire an LTC RN who will have to adjust to the hospital when you can hire a traveler who has...

  2. Applying for new grad jobs in NYC

    stockmanjr replied to stockmanjr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I forgot to add that I excelled in school with a 3.67, Dean's List my final year, and Sigma Membership. I know those don't really mean much, but figured I would add that

  3. Interviewing blues

    stockmanjr replied to Nicoleesmith's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here in NYC many hospitals now it seems only hire new grads through residencies. I really wish they would be clear about this on job postings as I feel like I'm wasting lots of time applying to jobs...

  4. Rehab nursing - Yes or No?

    stockmanjr replied to mymunnich's topic in First Year After Licensure

    During leadership clinical we met with the HR Director of a major NYC Hospital. She told us that the only LTC she will hire is something specialized like Sub-Acute or Vents/Tele. Anything else she...

  5. First RN job, and I'm having second thoughts

    stockmanjr replied to jennsrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not sure I understand this and the fact that some NYC hospitals are requiring acute care experience in their jobs postings. Have friends who can't leave LTC because hospitals don't seem to value...

  6. CHOP New Grad RN Talent Pool 2019

    stockmanjr replied to PedsNurse2019's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had to sadly turn down the offer CHOP made me. I couldn't move to Philly for the hours the part-time hours they were offering me after orientation. Hope someone else on here got my

  7. CHOP New Grad RN Talent Pool 2019

    stockmanjr replied to PedsNurse2019's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So went on my CHOP Shadowing/Interview a few days ago. Really loved the RNs and the staff in general seemed amazing. A bit worried about the switching between days and nights q2wks. Is this a standard...

  8. CHOP New Grad RN Talent Pool 2019

    stockmanjr replied to PedsNurse2019's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I applied back in August and heard nothing till about two weeks ago when I did the video interview. The day after the video interview I was offered an in-person. Have my in-person schedule for two...

  9. Have you restarted a nursing program?

    stockmanjr replied to Stephab07's topic in General Students

    There's no reason for that at all. If a student becomes ill and doesn't meet the clinical hours required by the state then they should be granted a medical withdrawal and be allowed to resume next...

  10. Got Written Up, Cant Stop Thinking About It

    stockmanjr replied to ThatNurseThough's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to guess someone's friend was the one who made the mistake and they needed to blame someone. This happened me as a volunteer where my coordinator gave me a wheelchair that she swiped from a...

  11. Does your employer charge you for PTO?

    stockmanjr replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed this sounds like the kind of place that will throw you under the bus really

  12. What if I didn’t finish my nursing school here in the Philippines bec I’m moving to New Jersey in a few months

    stockmanjr replied to eihxel's topic in General Students

    There are for folks who already hold a degree in a different field. However, transferring international credits can be difficult so I would suggest talking to schools that you're interested in...

  13. When Nursing Students Cheat- Part 2

    stockmanjr replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Students

    I would be very careful about continuously saying this. If they aren't actually caught cheating and word gets to them that you're being vocal about this you risk getting in trouble for slander. I've...

  14. LTC vs Hospital for first-semester clinical

    stockmanjr replied to MJ 0990's topic in General Students

    Ehhh depending on what time you actually get on the floor will depend on most of the AM care you'll do. Some of my classmates didn't get on the floor till 9 at some of the hospitals in NYC so all the...

  15. Nursing Student dilemma

    stockmanjr replied to PupilNursing's topic in General Students

    That doesn't work as every school demands a copy of a transcript from any schools attended thus it will show your F grades. Hope you can pull it out and

  16. Cheating in nursing school

    stockmanjr replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    The NCLEX is the ultimate decider though. If folks cheated throughout the whole program they likely will have alot of trouble passing the

  17. Help with school assignments & disability

    stockmanjr replied to RedRocket's topic in General Students

    Depending on what the accommodations being requested are that isn't entirely true. Even in clinical under the ADA a school is required to make reasonable

  18. Commuting to clinicals from 1 hr away??

    stockmanjr replied to nursingstudentwannabe's topic in General Students

    Of course in the real world hospitals make plans for major emergencies and employees stay overnight where ever they can find space. They do this to avoid what you described above. At my school if a...

  19. Lost Integrity: When Nursing Students Cheat

    stockmanjr replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Students

    Sadly professors are held to a different standard. I had a professor who decided that the test bank answers weren't correct so it was her own answers that she went with. Needless to say only 3 out of...

  20. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    stockmanjr replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    That's a really harsh punishment for what happened. I would write you up for this, but if that was your only infraction it's absurd to fail a student over that. Hopefully you've learned a lesson...

  21. Expelled from RN program, looking for options

    stockmanjr replied to cjprenurse's topic in General Students

    Just to be clear here as the title is misleading you haven't been expelled yet correct? I would take the W and get things sorted. This isn't going to get any better and the sooner you face it the...

  22. Nursing school Clinicals

    stockmanjr replied to Trinity33's topic in General Students

    I had a CI who was a bit of a loose cannon and went as far as calling me once at 9pm on a Saturday to chide me on a care plan. A lot of this is often the CI trying to act tuff and sadly when they see...

  23. Applying for New Grad jobs with gaps in resume

    stockmanjr posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was hoping to get some suggestions from the board about how to handle my situation. I graduated from my first degree right around the financial crisis and worked in the business world unfortunately...

  24. So I called the police on a patient

    stockmanjr replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    The final straw that ended up with my dad being institutionalized was him kicking a poor nurse in her face breaking her nose. He was lucky that they just moved him to psych and never called the...

  25. Struggles of being a male nurse

    stockmanjr replied to aririe's topic in Men in Nursing

    Just posted this in a student thread but the only time I felt uncomfortable as a male was OB. My CI kept on assigning me to religious patients who all said no to me. She tried to bully one of the...
