Hi, thank you for asking. I never applied to any jobs. I don’t feel confident with my skills because I’ve been off the floor for a year. I’m still feeling stuck. I’m going to try and see if I can find someone to help me with interview skills and talk...

Hi, thanks for the advice. I wish I could use my manager & coworker as a reference but I left a toxic work environment and was bullied my coworkers and the manager played along. Manager that I worked with works as case manager & most of cowor...

Hi, I'm moving to Naples Fl and Physicians Regional seems to be the closest hospital to me. Anyone else work there? Can you tell me about the hospital and the nurse to patio ratio? Thank you!

Hi, I'm sorry but I did not go with USU. I ended up going with Chamberlain. I'm currently not enrolled at the time but will pick back up after I work a year on the MS floor.

Can you tell me where you got this information?

Hi, I’m hoping I can get back into nursing and find an area of nursing that I enjoy. I’ve been off the Med Surg floor for 3 years, and now I’m ready to go back. I had no idea how hard it would be to get back into nursing with time off. I worked in Me...

I contacted lawyer and it they were just asking questions about a patient that I and several other nurses took care of. I could not remember anything about this patient and I told them whatever I put in chart is all I know. It turned out to be nothin...

Today I received an email from the risk management department from my previous hospital job. I haven't worked at this hospital for 6-7 months. They didn't tell me why they were contacting me but said that the hospital lawyer may be contacting me, and...

Yes, I completely understand what you mean by bullying. I am so happy to get feedback and corrections. I am the nurse that arrives early to take notes and looks for ways to help others. The charge nurse is the nurse that was bullying me. She acted ni...

Hi, I'm thinking about doing Adult Gerontology Primary Care NP and wondering if I could get an acute care certification post master's? I'm going to Chamberlain and wondering if post acute care certifications programs would accept Chamberlain credits...

I was bullied and lied on at my last nursing job. I'm frustrated with my self that I did not speak up and tell the manager that I was being bullied. I felt like they did not believe me when I told them the accusations were not true. I was afraid the...

Hi, I'm not sure if I want to talk to the hospital's legal team at all. I'm thinking I should just contact a lawyer right away. I don't have malpractice insurance. I honestly do not know what they would be contacting me about. Should I wait to ...

Wow! Thank you so much for a detailed list of information that will help me a lot in the FNP program. I feel 100% more motivated to get through this.:-)

My luck, they will call right away?. Seriously, I think I’m so nervous. I don’t do well with interviews. I’m going over possible interview questions. I’m nervous they will call for interview & not ready yet. Sorry, my interview anxiety is probabl...

Thank you, I will try to apply to hospitals first. It’s going to take me 1-2 weeks to prepare though. I didn’t interview for last position & haven’t interviewed for over 5 years....argh. As stupid as it sounds, I have bad anxiety with interviews....

Hi, I have a question if I should shadow for PCU or ICU before applying, or if I can even apply in any of these areas and if I should wait to apply because I may move. I have experience working as a Medical Surgical nurse. I worked from ...

Yea, I totally agree. The interview process is a job in itself. I went to school and successfully passed. Obtaining a BSN was not easy! I really wish nursing schools would offer a nursing interview course and help nurses be more confident in intervi...

I checked out glassdoor, and had a few interview questions. I need to find someone to help with mock interview help. I don't know anyone in management that would be able to help

Hi, I'm currently working as an ICU step down nurse at Vista Medical East. I will be moving to Glen Ellyn and would love to apply to Elmhurst Hospital but I do not know anyone there. I have never gotten a job at a hospital unless I knew someone. That...

I like the idea of doing FNP/ACNP. I'm going to find out if I can do this at my school. Thank you!

Hi, I have questions about NP programs. I’m thinking about doing FNP but wondering if an FNP can work in acute care too? I really want to to work with adults only but I heard that most hospitals and clinics prefer FNPs.

What school are you going to that does the duel FNP & ACNP?

Hi, I've been off the Med Surg floor for two years. I did obtain my BSN but feel like I completely forgot everything. I'm terrified of the interview process and I am horrible at them. I can't deal with any more rejections so I just don't apply. Not w...

Hi, thanks for your advice. I love the fast pace of acute care setting because I’m an adrenaline junkie...LOL. I hated it when I worked in SNF. The nurse to patient ratio was awful. I had 25-30 patients and most SNF are like this. I will look for ret...

I live in IL. I need good vibes coming my way. I really want to succeed and enjoy the place I work at. I'm passionate about nursing and love the science along with helping others.
