  1. Nurse residency-should this be mandatory?

    JeanettePNP replied to linguine's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think comparing doctors to nurses is apples and oranges. Many of us are coming out of nursing school with barely any hands-on clinical skills. It's a flaw in nursing education and I'm not sure that...

  2. Apply for state nursing license BEFORE applying for jobs?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    As I wrote in the OP, I am already licensed in my home state (which is not a compact state). I would like to broaden my options by applying to other states which are more new-grad friendly. But I'm...

  3. Blogging and HIPAA

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    If someone writes a nursing blog (or posts on allnurses) how can they avoid violating HIPAA if they write about patient scenarios? Not revealing your personal info or where you work is a start....

  4. Blogging and HIPAA

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Let's not call it HIPAA, then. Let's call it "patient privacy." Personally I believe in using common sense and not disclosing people's private information to anyone. When it comes to writing up a...

  5. Questions about licensure across state borders

    JeanettePNP replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know the exact answer to your question, but interstate licensure is a big hassle. I am applying to jobs in many different states, but don't plan to apply for licensure until I have a job...

  6. Nurse residency-should this be mandatory?

    JeanettePNP replied to linguine's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think that to the extent that a nursing shortage exists, providing funding for more nursing schools or more nursing faculty isn't going to alleviate it. What there IS a shortage of is nurses who are...

  7. Question for new nurses

    JeanettePNP replied to long26's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'll echo what others have said -- more rigorous and demanding clinical experiences. I feel that I spent too little time on the floor, and too little time actually doing anything while I was there....

  8. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    JeanettePNP replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    NewYork-Presbyterian Careers However, this is not "open interview." The website specifically says "experienced RNs," and you have to be called to schedule an

  9. Questions regarding SUNY Downstate Accelerated Nursing Program

    JeanettePNP replied to cupcake8503's topic in New York Nursing

    Accelerated doesn't start in the fall... it starts in June. People start finding out if they were accepted in

  10. Life as a New Grad Sucks

    JeanettePNP replied to lifeasanewgrad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One of my classmates just got hired in Albany, the first one in our class (that I know of) to get a nursing job. Getting the BSN is a good idea while you wait... being a new grad is bad enough, but...

  11. BA vs. BSN

    JeanettePNP replied to EgsEes's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you have the option to do a direct entry MSN after getting your ADN, go for it. The BSN won't confer any added advantage and would just be a waste of your time and

  12. Notes for new graduates

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

    madein84, all I can say is that you're way ahead of a lot of grads if you already started applying 3 months before graduation. Good for you! In school we were told not to bother applying until after...

  13. Notes for new graduates

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

    I'm sorry you felt that way. I feel that yes, many of us were misled about the nursing shortage. Some people are angry that there aren't jobs available for them as new grads when we were led to...

  14. L&D nurses without children

    JeanettePNP replied to loving2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think the two are related. You don't need to go through heart surgery or a stroke to be an effective cardiac or neuro nurse. My wonderful homebirth midwife has one adopted daughter. In fact a...

  15. Questions regarding SUNY Downstate Accelerated Nursing Program

    JeanettePNP replied to cupcake8503's topic in New York Nursing

    tomson, I'm glad you're doing well. Good luck in the rest of the program and in the job hunt next year. and no, it's not too early to start thinking about that! Start looking into new grad residencies...

  16. Does the nursing profession really want to eliminate the nurse faculty shortage?

    JeanettePNP replied to uwaga's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    There is no nursing shortage. There is no nursing faculty shortage. Nursing schools seem to have no trouble pumping out an endless number of new graduate students into an already flooded market. Let's...

  18. NYP self assessment

    JeanettePNP replied to goldruss17's topic in New York Nursing

    It seems that a lot of people are getting this questionnaire. I wonder what I'm doing wrong that I didn't even get picked to fill out the

  19. Anyone else going to the Nursing Career Fair at Jacob Javits on 10/21?

    JeanettePNP replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in New York Nursing

    I just got back from the job fair. It was pretty much as I expected -- same hospitals, same long lines, same "we'll keep you in mind when anything opens" welcome that new grads get everywhere. New...

  20. How did I get an A in med/surg and a C in OB??

    JeanettePNP replied to inProgress's topic in General Students

    A lot of people in my class had trouble with OB because it was a 5 week summer course with way too much material to cram into that time. I did well only because i had given birth before. Anyone who...

    JeanettePNP replied to truenurse's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes, I'm open to going upstate and I have filled out applications for upstate hospitals as well, including some very rural places -- no callbacks

  24. Any of you make excellent grades but suck at skills?

    JeanettePNP replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    Yes, I also had all A's but would get all awkward and clumsy when it came to skills. The important thing is not to let it kill your confidence, and to be graceful and humble about it. It's not easy...

  25. Anyone else going to the Nursing Career Fair at Jacob Javits on 10/21?

    JeanettePNP replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm debating whether to go to the nursing spectrum job fair in Flushing on Tuesday. I went to the Javits Center fair and nothing came of it. This fair will include mostly the same...
