    Is this interview process unprofessional?

    RNNPICU replied to raindrop's topic in Nursing Career

    OP: I have been on both sides of the peer interview and I think they are the hardest. When I interviewed for a position, there were two levels of peers, those who would have to work "under me" and...

    RNNPICU replied to MickyMb2's topic in General Students

    With regards to a racist comment, I speak spanish and have worked a lot with hispanic communites, saying "Gracis senor" with a picture of a maintainence worker could easily be interpreted as Thank you...

    Two Job Offers

    RNNPICU replied to Natkat's topic in General Nursing

    That vitamin job sounds illegal and immoral. It does not sound like you would even be getting true case management experience. The research job sounds mmore appealing. What specific type of research...

    RNNPICU replied to sianee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sianee: You do need to provide more than one or two or three word answers. From your responses to every single previous poster you do not get why every single person is concerned. If you had...

    Disappointing Interview

    RNNPICU replied to JSB2018's topic in General Nursing

    Disappointing Interview

    RNNPICU replied to JSB2018's topic in General Nursing

    New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

    RNNPICU replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    So, working as a CNA will not provide you with any benefit to obtaining an RN job. You will need to look farther out and think about different possibilities. NPs can work as RNs because they are an...

    Does the Doctor-Nurse Game Still Exist?

    RNNPICU replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I am so sorry you have this experience. I have never felt that way about voicing my opinion or advocating for my patient. My recommendations that I give are just that. My recommendations are...

    Is this a med error?

    RNNPICU replied to Beachgirlxo2017's topic in Patient Medications

    Depends. This could be a loading dose and then have scheduled doses begin once on the floor. Next time just clarify if you should give the dose now or at the 6 hours after the first

    Does the Doctor-Nurse Game Still Exist?

    RNNPICU replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing
