  1. First RN job application advice needed

    Scooter321 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    After finishing the main part of online job applications, many of them have another page with a bunch of questions where you select from pre-set answers. Things like years' of experience, are you...

  2. First RN job application advice needed

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the reply, and congrats on the job! I guess I'll keep on keeping on.

  3. First RN job application advice needed

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's exactly what I've been doing, but then I started second-guessing myself, worried that with a 'no' answer they wouldn't even bother to look at my resume. It's good to hear that someone else...

  4. They want my salary requirement--help!

    Scooter321 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so as a soon-to-be grad this is all new to me. I'm applying for an RN position in NH, and they're asking for my salary requirement (online application). I'm just not used to this and am not sure...

  5. They want my salary requirement--help!

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in General Nursing

    That's good thinking. I'm not even sure that they have a new grad program at the moment (just taking a chance with the job posting because it says experience preferred as opposed to required), but I...

  6. They want my salary requirement--help!

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys. I'll definitely try that.

  7. Microbiology-Spring 2008

    Scooter321 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was hoping to start a "sticky" for those of us facing micro this spring. I've done (and kind of enjoyed) A&P I and II but am nervous about this course. If anyone finds any good links, has...

  8. Long commute, need audio cd advise please

    Scooter321 replied to jimboslice's topic in General Students

    I agree about Jeff Guy and ICU Rounds--I made a playlist just of his stuff and it's fantastic. I always learn a lot from his (and others') podcasts. It's great to get a different viewpoint for the...

  9. High glucose levels, everywhere!

    Scooter321 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    Also, what type of patients and which meds are they on. If they're on Solu-Medrol (very common postop) or any other corticosteriod, that's enough right there to raise a person's blood glucose. In my...

  10. I want to work in the VA!!!! Well anywhere, honestly...

    Scooter321 replied to NewbieNeedsHelp's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks again, April. Very helpful. Wish us

  11. I want to work in the VA!!!! Well anywhere, honestly...

    Scooter321 replied to NewbieNeedsHelp's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks, April. Are you saying that they would call you for an interview now (if they liked your resume) for a job advertised now, knowing that you (I) would not be a nurse or even a graduate for...

  12. Long commute, need audio cd advise please

    Scooter321 replied to jimboslice's topic in General Students

    If you have an MP3 player and want something medical, you might also consider some of the free podcasts on offer at iTunes. There are a ton of them--something for all tastes. Some are actual lectures...

  13. I want to work in the VA!!!! Well anywhere, honestly...

    Scooter321 replied to NewbieNeedsHelp's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I'm still not sure exactly how to go about applying for an RN position months before graduating. I guess calling the individual HR departments might be my best bet....

  14. I want to work in the VA!!!! Well anywhere, honestly...

    Scooter321 replied to NewbieNeedsHelp's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    This thread, along with all the others, is truly scary. I do appreciate all the wonderful advice given here though. I wonder if I could hijack the thread to ask a question or two? Applying now rather...

  15. More than one job application to one HR dept?

    Scooter321 posted a topic in General Students

    As I head into the final semester of my ADN course, I'd really love to work as a nursing assistant part-time. My local hospital group (a few different hospitals--one website for applications) has...

  16. More than one job application to one HR dept?

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in General Students

    Thanks guys. I'd better get cracking on that

  17. Golden Oldie Students?

    Scooter321 replied to echo56's topic in General Students

    I'm a golden oldie too--53 and about to start the final (YES!) semester of my RN program at a community college. There was one student in our class who was older than me by a few years, but sadly we...

  18. Anyone been to a Student Nurse Assoc Conference?

    Scooter321 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm thinking of attending the Massachusetts conference next week. It's being held in Boston and will take me close to two hours travel each way. I was wondering if anyone had feedback on these...

  19. Anyone been to a Student Nurse Assoc Conference?

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in General Students

    Thanks elkpark. That's the kind of thing I found with our national conventions too (AHDI, for medical transcription). I attended every one for a dozen years, and they were held all over the country....

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in General Students

    Thanks, Elle. Which school do you attend? I'm at MWCC in

  21. Cumulative testing in nursing program

    Scooter321 replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    in my adn program we have a cumulative final each semester, but we're not lucky enough to get questions repeated from previous exams (unless it's a happy accident). tests other than the final are...

  22. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    Scooter321 replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Great post, Judith. Thanks, and congratulations! I will be starting Med-Surg in the fall, having thoroughly enjoyed my first year of NS. It was tough but do-able, and I learned so much and made some...

  23. You know you're in nursing school when....

    Scooter321 replied to Valasca's topic in General Students

    ... you've forgotten how to listen to music on your iPod because all you use it for now is nursing podcasts and relistening to your recorded

  24. quick SOAP note question

    Scooter321 replied to Nursing12345's topic in General Nursing

    No flames here, but there is a valid reason for it. Many medical conditions are affected, or may be affected, by race. For instance, African Americans are more prone to hypertension, sickle cell...

  25. quick SOAP note question

    Scooter321 replied to Nursing12345's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to respectfully disagree with this. SOAP notes don't just refer to the state of a diagnosis. The acronym stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan, and it is just one way of...
