    fiveofpeep replied to MesaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh thank you :) I graduate December 09 so most of the job listing I have seen thus far are for the summer. Thank you for your concern though :). If I were graduating this August I would be very...

  2. Is there a feeling of entitlment among new grads?

    fiveofpeep replied to MesaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I dont know if I have felt entitled, but I do agree that I went into nursing being told that it would be so easy to get a job, and Im still told that now by people who arent in the industry. I think...

  3. Is there a feeling of entitlment among new grads?

    fiveofpeep replied to MesaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. I think some hospitals are milking the poor economy to cut

  4. HUGE mistake in clinical....

    fiveofpeep replied to MattiesMama's topic in General Students

    your teacher sounds like a total WITCH. I hate how some people feel the need to pass judgment on who is in it for the money and who is meant to be a nurse. Its so harsh and they dont know you and how...

  5. Health care workers can be drafted during a pandemic

    fiveofpeep replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Disaster Preparation

    many nurses are women and I certainly have not signed up for the SS based on my gender :) this wont happen to civilians (knock on wood)...that would be incredibly fascist and if thats the slope we...

  6. Swine flu raises fear of pandemic - Adults and Children

    fiveofpeep replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    while it is good to be skeptical and rational, I have always had a strong respect for the flu and never have or ever will take it likely. Its hard to pass this off as "just the flu" when your...

    fiveofpeep replied to dianajh73's topic in General Students

    fiveofpeep replied to LifelongDream's topic in General Students

    yeah I seriously think I wouldnt have been able to emotionally survive nursing school if it werent for my amazing clinical instructors to balance out the bureaucracy and really crappy lecture...

  10. Job opening says "RN Required"

    fiveofpeep replied to LauraLiz's topic in General Nursing

    please please dont think "Ill wait until I get my license." People who do that often are the ones who are then frantically posting that they cannot find a job. Time is of the essence in this economy....

  11. Interview for CSULB's Nursing School?!

    fiveofpeep replied to kontayjus's topic in California Nursing

    I dont think so. I think I wore jeans and my bf said no as well. They should give you info. You can dress professionally if you want but there really is no point because you're already in and its not...

    fiveofpeep replied to isarubio's topic in General Students

  16. Nurses are made, not born

    fiveofpeep replied to crunchynut32's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    hehe I do think nurses are made and born (as in with personality traits favoring nursing as a profession) in varying portions but that prompt has me chuckling because it is exactly the kind of thing I...

  18. Dumb question: calculating weighted grade before all grades are in

    fiveofpeep replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    Ummm I do it like this: 28/30 on exam worth 20% of the grade 28/30=93% --> .93 * 20= 18.6% so so far you have earned 18.6% Then once it gets to the last test, I calculate how much I need to get...

  19. New grad will work for free

    fiveofpeep replied to nursingdude78's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Im scared about finding a job but this is not a precedent we should be setting. It's like a slap to the face to all the strong nurses who fought for the little rights we have now. And, if you...

    fiveofpeep replied to shewalke's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard about the gas cards and cars in michigan. Ive heard some members on here speak about michigan being ripe with opportunities, but Im still a little skeptical/pessimistic over

  24. Will summer internship help me get a job?

    fiveofpeep replied to Riversurfer's topic in MICU, SICU

    eek. you have to pay 750 to work for an internship? that sounds a little bit sketchy to me. I am thrilled to be doing one this summer that I will be paid for. I would gladly do it for free...but...

  25. I am a very young nurse. Will my patients be frightened?

    fiveofpeep replied to youngandnursing's topic in General Nursing

    I will graduate at 21 and do believe this is true. I do react immaturely at some times, but more in an emotional way (such as my feelings get hurt easily or I worry too much about what people think)....
