i think i am going to print this out!! thank you! really a great way to help narrow down one's preferences and goals when faced with a choice like
What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

Nurse SMS replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

I can think of at least three - respiratory therapy, surgical technician and radiology technician. EMTs also, so that is four that immediately came to mind. There are probably more. I don't think that...
States with Real Nursing Shortages?

Nurse SMS replied to KaringOne's topic in General Nursing

Frankly, nursing jobs are not any harder to get for new grads than ANY jobs are for new grads in ANY line of work right now. Nobody is falling easily into positions after graduation right now,...

Nurse SMS replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Students

What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

Nurse SMS replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

I think it bears noting that frustration over a hospital not hiring you and therefore making it expensive/hard for you to continue to BSN is a little bit...well....silly. Get a different job in LTAC...
Neither a new graduate nor an experienced U S nurse.

Nurse SMS replied to nayaslow's topic in First Year After Licensure

If you are not a new graduate, they will not hire you for new graduate slots. They will still want to know when you graduated from nursing school. Having a new license is different than being a new...
New Grads/RNs without any work for almost a year now

Nurse SMS replied to spiderman101's topic in Texas Nursing

It is definitely considered a "major" city and has several schools there. There is a nursing school in Austin, just one hour to the north also, which is a completely saturated market. San Antonio has...
Neither a new graduate nor an experienced U S nurse.

Nurse SMS replied to nayaslow's topic in First Year After Licensure

If you worked in your home country as a nurse I would assume you would put that information down on your resume. If you have never worked as an RN, you will have to hope someone will give you a chance...
1 year down, still frustrating

Nurse SMS replied to Akeos's topic in First Year After Licensure

Sadly it is an employers market right now. There is no shortage of experience nurses, making the unexperienced undesirable. It may be years until this turns around. Perhaps you can find a position in...
I feel so unwanted

Nurse SMS replied to mstacyi's topic in First Year After Licensure

Look over your resume really well. Your grammar in your posts here is pretty bad. Hopefully you have represented yourself on your resume and cover letters better than what you have posted here. Best...
New Grads/RNs without any work for almost a year now

Nurse SMS replied to spiderman101's topic in Texas Nursing

You won't find a different situation in Texas, or at least not in the major metroplex and surrounding (1.5 hour-ish drive one way) areas. DFW alone has more than 25 nursing schools churning out new...

Nurse SMS replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Students

I find this thread oddly stress reducing. What does that mean?!
What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

Nurse SMS replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

I guess that, while you may have certain points, I do not understand wasting so much mental energy railing against it. It is what it is and the writing is on the wall. You will have to find a way to...
Health insurance ahhh...

Nurse SMS replied to Valery0725's topic in General Students

The National Student Nurse Association has a group plan for members. It is not great coverage at ALL.....but it is pretty inexpensive (relatively speaking of course) and meets the general requirements...
Trivial matter

Nurse SMS replied to studyjunky's topic in General Students

Unless she is a floor nurse on the floor you will be on working the shift you will be there, the likelihood of her even knowing you are there is slim to

Calling all pen aficionados...please report here

Nurse SMS replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Students

I know! Most people prefer thin - but I have noticed those who prefer thin tend to have a light hand when it comes to writing. I press down pretty hard. And my penmanship is very "direct contact"...
Calling all pen aficionados...please report here

Nurse SMS replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Students

I hate pens that write thin - they don't tend to roll easily across the page and I actually tend to put a lot of pressure down when I write. I am in love with Paper-Mate Profiles "The World's...
What are your other degrees in?

Nurse SMS replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

Liberal Arts. Whoa. Useful.
Why are nursing instructors mean?

Nurse SMS replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Students
