This is what nursing is about. Not jumping all over your coworkers because they can't do something - physically, mentally, spiritually, or emotionally. In my hospital we are taught to treat eat other like we treat our patients. I think it's a great c...

To some, the whole of religion is silly semantics. That's just not the issue.

I don't see what the big deal is myself. I mean considering blood always has to be verified by two nurses, anyway. I'm not a Jehovah's Witness. I'm an agnostic, so I have no dog in this fight, but come on! Now, dear OP, I understand your religion is ...

gazeyball, I've applied for several positions in the Franciscan system. It seems they take a long time to answer. I moved from AZ to TX in April for a Med/Surg job. I graduated in December 2009. Do you know if I'd still be eligible for a residency pr...

I've been researching the program at UCSF and am curious to hear what you know about it. Did you attend this program? Do you know anyone who has? Pros/cons? Is it difficult to find housing? The UCSF website says it's very difficult to work while in t...

Good for you! I love hearing "I got the job" stories. I'm sure it will be worth it. I applied for a bunch of their new grad positions and seemed to be on the "short-list" for one, but I never got a call and finally received the "other people are bett...

I think your instructor sounds like a jerk. How could she blame you for the patient going back to CCU? Ridiculous. Absolutely. It was nobody's "fault." If it were me, I'd have pushed the call light, put up the head of the bed, checked the O2, RR, and...

I agree with chenoaspirit. Show up at orientation. If they had a problem, they would have called you.

Have they already offered you the job?

Where do you live, because if the market isn't already dried up there, I'll be there with a U-Haul.

Yes, Arizona is a Right to Work state and that does mean you can be let go and quit for no reason, unless you have a contract. There are unions here and they do have negotiating power within the industries they operate in. OP, I don't know what you h...

On the surface, it seems silly to have to spend the money and apply for a license in a state where you don't live, or have a job. But, I wonder if the fact I don't have a license in a particular state is hindering my chances for an interview. What do...

I would say this is not a good question and you won't see it on the NCLEX.

Simply Hired is a good one and Indeed.com

I'll take a stab at it... Heat loss.

Who are you talking to?

Thanks, GeocachingRN, for responding so quickly. I'm delighted to hear LinkedIn works so well for you. My resume is rather long, as well, but I've gotten to where I just put the last 10 years, or so! So, you're using LinkedIn to augment real world ne...

LOL! She just posted 20 minutes before you did! Good luck, Moosey!

I've just started using LinkedIn and I'm curious as to how you used it. Who did you network with? How did you interact with them? How long did it take to build "networkable" relationships? Also, where did you find your volunteer opportunity? Thanks, ...

I took the NCLEX yesterday and this morning I looked on the state board website and I'm a Registered Nurse! Woohoo!!!! (By the way... the "Trick" worked!)

48 miles... one way... Maybe, I should look in Sun City?

LOL! They already have a job!

Thanks for your response. I'm anxious to see if it helps you. I hope it does!

Thanks, Bug Out! How far east? I'm in Peoria.

Wow. That's pretty discouraging. I've been obsessively checking the boards myself and today I got quite a surprise. There were a lot more jobs for new grads. It may be a blip, or a light at the end of the tunnel. We shall see. Good luck to you. My fr...
