    Was I being hit on... or was it a genuine compliment?

    NoviceRN10 replied to CandyGyrl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think he was just complimenting your bedside manner, nothing more. Unless he was giving you some body language that wasn't described in your post? If you want to switch units to the one he...

    NoviceRN10 replied to zabbaloo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What's been your experience with the current job market?

    NoviceRN10 replied to BellaRN2010's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know. I really hope that after putting a year into med-surge I can go after the kind of nursing I really want and I will be considered "experienced" at that

    Are any hospitals hiring grad nurses in metro area?

    NoviceRN10 replied to Lisa621's topic in Michigan Nursing

    NoviceRN10 replied to cleback's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How can the nursing home require you to stay a year unless they are giving you a sign-on bonus or paying for your tuition? I would take the job and not worry about the commitment of a year. If you...

    NoviceRN10 replied to antmotley's topic in Michigan Nursing

    So have you been applying for PCT, or CNA jobs and gotten no response? If you are a CNA then I would think you already know what the pay scale is for that job ? How long have you been certified? As...

    From Interview to Offer, What Does HR Search For On You?

    NoviceRN10 replied to SoonThere's topic in First Year After Licensure

    CNA Jobs $14-17 possible?

    NoviceRN10 replied to antmotley's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm curious how much CNAs make. I have seen that phlebotomists make that much (well, 12-15 per hr). I know student nurses/techs make $15-17 so I think aides probably make a couple dollars

    NoviceRN10 replied to fearlessleader09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I chose to do the NCSBN review instead of Kaplan due to the low cost (my school requires you to take a review course if you don't get 900 on the exit HESI). I did the $50 3 wk option. I breezed...

    Kaplan vs Saunders vs NCSBN

    NoviceRN10 replied to foxygirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't think the NCLEX was like Kaplan. I though the questions were much more straight forward, like Saunders. If the NCSBN review counts towards remediation to be able to sit for the boards...
