    I'm really sorry to hear that all of this is going on. It sounds like you know your stuff Pediatricnurse. Maybe all the problems you stated are a big part of the reason why their client-base is...

  7. Maternity Leave NYC

    girls1 replied to aespangl's topic in New York Nursing

    girls1 replied to girls1's topic in New York Nursing

  11. LTC Charge Nurse for New Grad?

    girls1 replied to girls1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Four days of orientation sounds crazy to me. Wow! I guess rehab itself isn't too bad. They have a rehab floor too, but she doesn't want to place me on that floor. I think I will give it a try and see...

    girls1 replied to girls1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    girls1 replied to courthousenette's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This makes perfect sense. You needn't include everything on a resume, only the things that would stand out and make the employer more interested in you. I feel like it is a disadvantage to list the...

    girls1 replied to Nurse212's topic in New York Nursing

    It was Harlem. I would expect to have already done the fingerprinting since I got hired the day after labor day. I thought that would be done well ahead of my start date. I'm annoyed that I have not...
