  1. Nurse managers-what do you like to see on cover letters?

    MelodyRNurse replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the great advice. After reading these posts I realize I am being to long winded with my letters and I am not confident because I don't have experience in the area I am applying. I...

  2. Nurse managers-what do you like to see on cover letters?

    MelodyRNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I get all kinds of conflicting advice on what to write. I've seen sources that say some up your skills on your CL and others say do not repeat what is on your resume. Well, I don't have specific...

  5. Grounds for termination

    MelodyRNurse replied to kstec's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in a similar situation and nothing was done. The management at your workplace is weak just like mine. I can't believe they put you both back on the floor without having resolved this...

  6. How long did it take you to get NCLEX results?

    MelodyRNurse replied to I RN A's topic in General Nursing

    In Delaware we don't have the rapid results, but we can check the BON website and usually it takes about two business days. It took seven or eight days before I got mine and I really thought I failed...

  7. You will lose your skills in LTC

    MelodyRNurse replied to egglady's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My facility is like this also, except we don't even have peg-tubs or indwelling caths. We don't even have any decubs(which is really a good thing). I have worked at a higher level nursing home where...

  8. LPN programs

    MelodyRNurse replied to bill4745's topic in General Nursing

    Its a small program, but I think they expanded and now even have night classes. You see advertisements for the classes usually only twice a year. The program is located in Howard High School's...

  9. Seeking Part-time CNA training in N Del

    MelodyRNurse replied to delawhere2006's topic in General Nursing

    If you are a nursing student, ask your instructor, but I think you can get the CNA's license pretty easily (without taking a class) after you complete your first semester of nursing

  13. LPN programs

    MelodyRNurse replied to bill4745's topic in General Nursing

    Delaware Skills center has a program but is very competetive. I don't know of any other ones in Wilmington. Terry Campus at Del Tech has one and I have heard of one in Salem County NJ also. I don't...

  14. Does LTC experience effect your chances of getting into a hospital?

    MelodyRNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been turned down for a lot of hospital positions, that I really wanted, and I think it might be because of my LTC experience. I have worked in LTC for about two years as an LPN and recently...

  15. Where are all the jobs in Delaware?

    MelodyRNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just curious..Are there many other new grads having a hard time finding jobs? I am trying to get into a hospital in DE and have even been trying places in MD and PA. NO luck-they all want acute care...

  16. What can I do to get into an ED?

    MelodyRNurse posted a topic in Emergency

    I'm hoping someone can tell me what classes I can take that will increase my chances of getting into an ED? I have been looking at ACLS, but it says you need to work in that environment and have some...

    MelodyRNurse replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in Emergency

    Thank you for taking the time to send me that information. I will print this info and definitely use it. Thanks

  18. What can I do to get into an ED?

    MelodyRNurse replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in Emergency

    I do love the environment and not because I watch to much tv, because I have worked in the ED, just not as a nurse. I was support staff and loved every minute of it and couldn't ask enough questions....

  19. Intimidation in the workplace

    MelodyRNurse posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have support staff that frequently become verbally aggressive when asked to do something or when asked if something was done. This happens in front of patients and staff members. It is out of...

    MelodyRNurse replied to breanne27's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Where having the same issues in Delaware. I was considering commuting to Philly or Jersey, and I am TERRIFIED of the bridges:no:. I was scoping out the site hoping to learn of a good place hiring...

  21. Intimidation in the workplace

    MelodyRNurse replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I can't tell you how much I agree. This behavior continues because no one has addressed it and it will continue until someone does. I have, on several occasions, witnessed behavior that should have...

  22. Intimidation in the workplace

    MelodyRNurse replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I was told by my supervisor that I can't write them up because it creates a hostile environment. I then contacted the Director and found that this was completely untrue. So in addition to the crap...

    MelodyRNurse replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks for your replies. I know that it is not only the CNA's I am just having a particularly difficult time with a couple of them. I do ask them nicely. I usually say "When you have time would...

  24. Christiana Care Internships for new Grads

    MelodyRNurse replied to NEWRNDE's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know either. I was wondering also if non-student nurses are welcome to attend. Probably not. It seems really hard to get in there right now, I wish they would start hiring again because I...

  25. He doesn't realize my dreams

    MelodyRNurse replied to dipsett08's topic in General Nursing

    I had one like that a long time ago. Good thing that you realize he is not good for you. You will not have room in your life for anyone who is not supportive during nursing school. You will make...
