  1. No nursery but not allowed to tell new moms that their newborn must room in!

    JeanettePNP replied to Emberanna's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I gave birth 15 and 13 years ago, I was not ALLOWED to keep the baby with me overnight even though I wanted to -- "against policy." I had my next 4 births at home. IMO rigidity in either...

  2. Is it ok to apply for multiple jobs at the same hospital?

    JeanettePNP replied to jpeters84's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it's okay to apply for multiple jobs if you meet the minimum

  3. Depressed

    JeanettePNP replied to LouisVRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure I understand the scenario. You're working FT now at the bedside, but you'd like to move to a FT charge position? It sounds to me that you're in an enviable spot, career-wise. You're...

  4. Is it me, or is this a little harsh?

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

    Some people like to throw around promises and assurances without stopping to think that you, on the other end, just may be placing a lot of hope and reliance on those promises. Mature and responsible...

  5. Resume + application repeating info

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have an issue with all these online applications, that they essentially ask you to repeat all the info that's in the resume. Why do I have to input my degrees (including HS for crying out loud!),...

  6. Resume + application repeating info

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

    Sometimes if I'm really having difficulties I call HR. Some hospitals are nice and tell you where you can send your info. Or they tell you to come down and apply in person. Ummm, I'm only about 1000...

  7. Warning: Stay away from...

    JeanettePNP replied to SDALPN's topic in General Nursing

    You need to report this

  8. Resume + application repeating info

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

    Lately I've been having technical difficulty with some of the sites. I fill in the whole application and press save, and then it goes right back to the beginning. Another time, it submitted the same...

  9. Asking references to fill out forms

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    How do you feel about asking references to fill out forms that either ask them to rank you on a scale, or give narrative responses to assorted questions? For me personally, it was enough of a hassle...

  10. Asking references to fill out forms

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

    Exactly. I give up on applying if I have to go back to my references AGAIN to ask them to fill out yet another form. So far all the places that required those forms were out of state, and not my top...

  11. What stinks about new grad resumes

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

    I share your woes. Online apps are the worst because you are limited in the information you can give. If there's a name or email address to send a letter, or the option to upload a cover...

  12. older babies in level 3

    JeanettePNP replied to nicu4me's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Oooooh, I'll do it!!1 I'm a volunteer in pediatric long term care... still can't find anyone that will PAY me to do it

  13. 8 months and still searching...New grad RN

    JeanettePNP replied to rajan2's topic in New York Nursing

    Very interesting, since a whole group of us (BSN) did our clinicals there and we asked for jobs, and were told that they are NOT

  14. HR becoming pickier?

    JeanettePNP replied to want2banrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The level of "choosiness" is in direct proportion to the number of applicants. They have to have SOME way of deciding who to pick when they have 1000+ applicants for a single position. What do you...

  15. HR becoming pickier?

    JeanettePNP replied to want2banrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    GPA is only one small part of the picture. There's also prior experience (nursing and non-nursing related), community involvement, and, probably most important, who you know in the hospital. Whether...

  16. What to eat before NCLEX?

    JeanettePNP replied to Ogechi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I left the house at 7:30 a.m. and took the test at 8:30 a.m. Before I left I took a bag of home-made cookies and ate them on the train (yum). On the way home after the test I think I bought a bottle...

  17. List of RN Residencies

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here is a list of hospitals offering new grad residencies. I found most of these simply by googling "new grad residencies." This list is in no particular order or geographical location -- they're...

  18. RN residencies?

    JeanettePNP replied to want2banrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It makes sense to me. Either we reform nursing education so that nurses come out actually prepared to assume their job duties immediately, or somebody will have to do the training. That burden is...

  19. Praying for the nursing shortage

    JeanettePNP replied to mariahas4kids's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't sound like you read the post in its entirety. She IS an RN now. As far as whether she should have "done her research" before pursuing LPN, there is no right or wrong in this situation. Some...

    Where are you? I'll

  21. Praying for the nursing shortage

    JeanettePNP replied to mariahas4kids's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry you're having it rough, Maria. I'm not holding out for that mythical nursing shortage... that ship has sailed long ago. However, based on your story it doesn't sound like you made any...

  22. Ruptured AVM

    JeanettePNP replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Yes, I think the poster realizes this, that the transplant team are not "vultures." She was speaking to the emotional aspect of it--your loved one has just been declared dead and here is a team of...

  23. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    JeanettePNP replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    I'm a new grad and I'm still getting out of bed in the morning to face another day. MAJOR accomplishment for a new

    JeanettePNP replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The direct entry MSN programs around here are in private colleges that would cost nearly $100,000 to complete. Not worth it, especially in today's

  25. No jobs for new grad nurses!

    JeanettePNP replied to trin22's topic in Nursing Career

    Does anyone know if this is legit? I'd love to apply but I don't want to give out personal info based on a posting on
