    I don't mean to be harsh, but I hope you intend to have your letter proofed before you sent it out? Run-on sentences really don't look

    Need RN advice

    TazziRN replied to Bicster's topic in General Nursing

    If pharm and pathophys are integrated into the program, you don't need the separate courses. It would be nice to have the courses, but it's not absolutely necessary. MedSurg will be integrated in the...

    Career Change, Please Advise

    TazziRN replied to JamesStacy's topic in General Nursing

    The pay won't be any different. Whether or not you should go for a BSN or ADN will be a heated subject, you might want to do a search here about similar threads. Nursing ability-wise there is no...

    Living With a Diabetic

    TazziRN replied to Snawdad's topic in General Nursing

    My dad is a steroid-induced diabetic. My mom, until recently, did not understand the dietary restrictions.......she didn't understand why he couldn't have "one more piece of chicken", or why he can't...

    The nurse who wasn't. Thoughts and comments.

    TazziRN replied to lulu123's topic in General Nursing

    You don't "get" your RN and you don't get a nursing degree. You get an Associate's or Bachelor's in Science and you earn your RN license. The quickest way would probably be an ADN program, two years...

    At dinner out, I am chastised for drinking before work by manager -- help?

    f/c irrigation

    TazziRN replied to calliesue's topic in General Nursing

    Part of foley care in home health is to irrigate when needed, no order necessary. And I always irrigated in the ER without an order. I guess it's just the nature of the specialties. I know that many...

    TazziRN replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Resumes....is a cover letter necessary??

    TazziRN replied to cf264801's topic in General Nursing

    Your cover letter would go out with the hard copies, or if you email your resume to someone specific then you include a cover letter. Not necessary when posting it at monster or other job sites. I...

    Notice required upon leaving position

    TazziRN replied to RNWithAHeart's topic in General Nursing

    To my knowledge "professional standard" is 30 days, which would give time to hire and orient a replacement. That's in any job, not just

    Notice required upon leaving position

    TazziRN replied to RNWithAHeart's topic in General Nursing

    I've never had the required time based on length of vacation earned. At both hospitals it was 30 preferred, minimum 2 weeks required. If you gave less than 2 weeks without a darn good reason then you...

    Nasty co-workers

    TazziRN replied to saphyre's topic in General Nursing

    TazziRN replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the manager was wrong to wait until the eval to bring it up, and to allow the OP to go on shift knowing she'd imbibed. That said, what keeps catching my attention is that the OP keeps trying to...
