2. Do you include clinical sites and hours on your resume

   RN2be_07 replied to Carebear77's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   I've been told not to include clinicals since they assume that they are part of your nursing education. The only one I did mention on my resume was my capstone experience in which I spent 72 hours on...

4. Fired or Resign?

   RN2be_07 replied to iahi_2005's topic in General Nursing

   Resign or ask for a transfer. Try somewhere else with new people in a new situation - you might thrive in a different environment. I went through a similar experience and I regret NOT resigning when...

5. new grad resume??

   RN2be_07 replied to cbirdsong's topic in General Nursing

   I put down my practicum rotation because it was 72 hours in the same unit with the same nurse. You dont need to write down ALL your clinicals because most of that is just a learning situation and...

9. I really dont know what to do

   RN2be_07 replied to Matt 2be RN's topic in General Nursing

   Nursing school is tough and if you just want to work with kids it may be a great place to be if you also are interested in medicine. Otherwise there are a lot of other kid-centered jobs out there...

10. Actual Nursing Vs Nursing school

    RN2be_07 replied to Natingale's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I found the difference to be practically night & day. NS teaches you the skills (i.e. IVs, meds, general patient care) but they dont teach you the daily ins and outs of being a nurse on the floor...

    RN2be_07 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I found them to be a huge time waster and just another piece of paper to fill out. Many times we would sign ahead for upcoming hours or behind ourselves at the end of the shift. They want to...
