I'm new to traveling and would like some feedback. I had applied for a (local-ish) position and heard nothing back from the facility. A few weeks later, I started working with an agency for a very similar position at the same facility. I have not be...

Thank you for explaining my situation far more succinctly than I did sans caffeine. I think you're correct, be straight and up front with both. I was just worried that HR might attempt to pass over my contract offer if they realize they could get me ...

First year working. It makes you wish you were a student again.

I'd say no, unfortunately. It doesn't typically work that way, especially for a new grad position. You can always ask, citing your potential travel, but you probably won't get much out of them, other than "competitive salary" or something similar. Th...

Makes sense. They don't want you to be "getting ready for NCLEX" forever. They want to make sure that there is a trackable, attainable goal to ensure that they make a good investment in you. :)

Try that the next time you rear end someone and see what your insurance company has to say about it.

Now that the OP has been beaten up for appropriate delegation, I'm wondering if it might have been professional, considerate or both for the CNA to let her RN know she would be in the break room/on break for a while?

This was my thought process as well...

Lapzs, First, I want to say that I think it's very, very respectable that you shared your story and included an honest account of your own shortcomings. This is an anonymous forum and you could have easily slanted some of the aspects of the story to ...

First and foremost, congratulations on your decision to quit. I have tried to quit unsuccessfully many, many times but would always start up again when I either got too stressed out or just didn't care anymore. This went on for almost ten years. Then...

I nearly choked on my drink! I was 35 when I enrolled in nursing school.... and I certainly wasn't the oldest in my class. Not by a long shot.

This.

I think the OP had a difficult day and was venting. I wish this board was a little more like a duvet and a little less like a brick wall sometimes. While I completely agree that this is a public forum and that comments and opinions were solicited by ...

This sounds great- is there a catch?

I'm wondering how OP's ED rotation went!

One nail and three puncture wounds? Yeech!

I agree with hppy. I applaud your candidness, but these are definitely questions best asked of an attorney. Glad you're getting help. Hang in there.

I've never tried Altra. I have Birkis. I agree with you about break in periods, though... it can be rough.

They were available right at 48 hours after the start time of my exam. PASSED.

I, too am waiting for my quick results. I feel the agony... lol

I heard from my ATI live review that all answers can be correct on SATA, but I'm still skeptical.

I did attend the ATI live review, it was included in my school's tuition. It was three days long and the instructor was an experienced RN with a Master's in teaching, who works for ATI. I found it useful, with plenty of key points reinforced. I am sc...
