The posting of a question of interest on a nursing forum was the homework assignment. This is a topic I am concerned about, especially with being unfamiliar in the nursing practice. I am concerned that upon my graduation and with beginning a nursing career I will be pushed into starting off overwhelmed because of staffing. As I do not have experience as a nurse, I am wondering what the best way to go about expressing my concerns is. With my current employment, I have expressed the concern to the nurses, and nothing is ever done about it. Is there a better way to deal with unsafe staffing?

I am about to finish up nursing school, and am applying for jobs. I am curious to know the proper etiquette for making a resume at this stage. Should I put that I am an RN on the resume even though I won't finish school for another few months? Or do I put nursing student? I am concerned that by not placing the "RN" title on my resume, it will not even get looked at.

I am still a nursing student that is nearing graduation, but I currently work as a CNA in a skilled nursing facility and behavioral unit. As the reality of being a nurse is quickly approaching, I often ponder how I will handle inadequate staffing issues like I see in my line of work now. What is the best way to lead a change in unsafe staffing? Would it be appropriate for me to also fight for safe CNA staffing, even after I become a nurse?
