   MTRN13 replied to nola1202's topic in Nursing

   Find the largest stereo, and play the song "take this job, and shove it" while singing along at the top of my lungs and walking around the whole floor at 7 AM so both shifts hear it. I would also go around setting off random callights all night long...

   "The Golden Hour"

   MTRN13 replied to Tait's topic in Nursing

   I think it is a really good idea. Unfortuantely at my hospital we do not have it. Although from 0630-0700 if there is an admission or transfer we only take the vital signs, and a quick assessment to make sure they are stable. If the patient is from P...

   Going to fill out paperwork for new job-Do i dress like im going to an interview?

   MTRN13 replied to wookieRN11's topic in Nursing

   I dressed in black pants, and a nice dressy sweater that looked nice. I also did hair, and make up professionally. I do not think there is a need to wear a suit. Just dress to impress.

   More attractive grads have better chances of getting hired?

   MTRN13 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Job Assistance

   Attractive does not = good nurse. Maybe it is the patients who feel better after having attractive nurses take care of them like some kind of placebo effect.

   MTRN13 replied to MsHelloKitty,LVN's topic in Nursing

   Many nurses in So. Cal are having a hard time finding any nursing jobs. With a year or so experience you could then move on. I do not know the current going rate for LVN's in assisted living. I would consider it. Good Luck !
