    chare replied to helloxjello's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, the changes here might be seen as a result of either a STEMI or nSTEMI, however to diagnosis either you should see changes in 2, or more, contiguous leads, which you don't have with the rhythm...

    Resume and Cover Letter Critique

    chare replied to amus180's topic in New York Nursing

    I would go with the older resume format. In my opinion it looks more professional, and it is easier to read. Also, some job search sites ask you to copy/paste your resume and this format might be...

    Was my unsatisfactory in clinical unfair?

    chare replied to Ashestoashes's topic in General Students

    When I read this, I can't help but think that you have had problems throughout this clinical session, and that this event was the straw that broke the camel's back. If it were me, I would take a few...

    Was my unsatisfactory in clinical unfair?

    chare replied to Ashestoashes's topic in General Students

    I hate to tell you I told you so........

    chare replied to EnoughWithTheIce's topic in School

    Not my intention to be any of these. I posted in response to what appeared, to me, to be an inappropriate post. EnoughWithTheIce has since responded, and I accept that this wasn't her intent....

    New Grad ICU

    chare replied to I Run on Coffee's topic in Critical Care

    Likely not. And this isn't saying that they will, just that it is possible. It's just as possible that they will wish you the best of luck, and immediately call the next name on the waiting list....

    Resume or CV

    chare replied to Istoriaphile's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If any of these experiences readily translate I would incorporate it into my resume, and do what I could to keep it 1 page. I don't generally think a portfolio is helpful for a new grad, but if you...

    Union

    chare replied to buchanki's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    While I have never been a fan of unions, I am even less a fan of right to work states. You are going to benefit from the negotiated contract from your first day, and will continue to benefit from it...

    chare replied to HelenDeed's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of whether you stay in TX or move on to FL, you are going to have to update your license, and it might be best to first endorse to TX. Obviously, if you remain in TX you need an active TX...

    I hate to tell you I told you so........

    chare replied to EnoughWithTheIce's topic in School

    Seeing as she appeared giddy over the fact that the student received an "ice burn." It wasn't obvious. Based on the tone of your post it wasn't obvious. Then she wasn't educated. All she knows is...

    Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    Really? Generally, any time someone has me backed into a corner I consider that threatening behavior at least, if not outright aggressive. However, if that's not enough there's always this: And...

    Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    chare replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    Reporting you for what, exactly? You notified the physician, implemented new orders, and called a rapid response. Seems to me that your actions were all appropriate and timely. If she does report...
