  1. New MA RN wants to be licensed in NH

    Scooter321 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I live in MA but only about an hour from Manchester, Nashua, etc., so am looking for work there too (new grad stuff sure is thin on the ground). I'm newly licensed as an RN in MA but am confused about...

  2. Need advice to prep for ED interview

    Scooter321 posted a topic in Emergency

    I have an interview for an ED position (small community hospital), and I was hoping for some hints and tips to help convince her she would not be wasting her time with me. I've been a nurse for five...

  3. Need advice to prep for ED interview

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Emergency

    I got it! I start next month. I'm so excited. Nervous too, and sad to be leaving my truly awesome boss here, but mostly excited. :) Thanks so much for your help and your interest. I have a feeling...

  4. Need advice to prep for ED interview

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Emergency

    I think it went really well, although they didn't ask me a single clinical question. They asked me things like what type of emergency did I have to handle in my current position--asked why ED nursing...

  5. Need advice to prep for ED interview

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Emergency

    Thanks, ProudEDRN--what a great lot of info. I'll be doing my best to research it all before Monday.

  6. Thermometers and stethoscopes--any opinions?

    Scooter321 posted a topic in Home Health

    I've just finished my first week of orientation in HH, some in-office work, some shadowing. I was wondering what you guys thought of two things: an electronic stethoscope (I'm VERY tempted but they're...

  7. Resume question

    Scooter321 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was wondering at what point it's appropriate to drop the "clinical experiences" and detailed school info from a resume? I've only been a nurse for about a year and a half but had a summer (camp) job...

  8. Resume question

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you both. Looks like some sound advice.

  9. Resume question

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks, hiddencatRN. I guess that means my school info has to go too (shame, 'cause it looks good). At least NOT having school and clinical stuff there means my resume doesn't absolutely scream...

  10. Help!! How to document clinical info narrative

    Scooter321 replied to RNBSN95's topic in Home Health

    Starting my first home health care job tomorrow! Any chance I could get on that bandwagon, KateRN1? I would love a copy of that document too. Thanks soooo much. I'm at [email protected]

  11. What kind of watch do you wear?

    Scooter321 replied to NellieOlsen's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Love, love, love my fob/pin watch. I haven't worn one on my wrist since nursing school. Nothing on my wrist to get wet/pick up icky stuff. I can just glance down to see the time or use the second hand...

  12. Those around us are clueless...

    Scooter321 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    And don't forget to document, or it didn't happen!

  13. Mount Wachussett CC anybody?

    Scooter321 replied to yenid0327's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yes, I'm working at at a pedi center for kids with severe neurological injury. It's actually the place you will do your pedi rotation if you go the LPN or RN route at MWCC. It's tough, but I really...

  14. Mount Wachussett CC anybody?

    Scooter321 replied to yenid0327's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I graduated from their RN program just this May. It's hard....but then I think that's true of nursing school in general....but I think it was a great program. Its grads are generally VERY well...

  15. New grads...are alot of you starting out in LTC??

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

    I would say that most of my classmates (we graduated in May) who have found work are starting out in LTC. Not all, but most, and plenty are still looking for work. I have just started in a facility...

    Scooter321 replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Pediatric

    I just spotted your post and was thrilled to see it. I too am a new grad RN (May), and I'm about to start in a pedi long-term care facility. It is a little scary, but this particular facility is...

  19. Two months experience--still a new grad, right?

    Scooter321 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hoping to get a few opinions from the seasoned. I graduated in May, NCLEX in June, and started work three days later as an RN at a diabetes camp, where I spent about two months. It was a wonderful...

  21. Two months experience--still a new grad, right?

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

    Thanks, Poopprincess. I thought as much. I would LOVE to apply to new grad positions, if I could find even a single one. What I do see a lot is "NO new grads need apply." Sigh. I'll carry on carrying...

  22. question..please help..

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

    You might also want to check their requirements carefully. I haven't seen many new grad programs, but those I am aware of make it an absolute rule that you cannot have worked as an RN in any capacity....

  23. New MA RN wants to be licensed in NH

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much. I'm going through the process right now, and I'll force myself to hold off on actually applying for anything until I have the license in my sticky little

  24. Med/surg new grad positions

    Scooter321 replied to *Peachy*'s topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    It's really nice of you to let us know. Sadly for me, they insist on BSN and I just graduated with an ADN. Seems to be the trend these days,

    Scooter321 replied to sarahg88's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have no words of advice for you because I have only just graduated myself and will be taking NCLEX next week. I just wanted to send you some hugs :hug: and say "hang in there." From reading these...
