NEW grad no luck landing jobs need help

Nurse SMS replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

I really want to quit..any advice?

Nurse SMS replied to Sunny Diem's topic in General Nursing

If you think med-surg is hard, wait until you are dealing with financially, socially and employed stretched parents on top of being worried about their kid and mistrustful of you. You will relate with...

I cannot decide where to start nurse residency, any advise is welcomed.

Nurse SMS replied to dfwBabe214's topic in Nursing Career

If they take both and have a robust residency, then you will be exposed to both. A burn unit is a critical care unit. Acute float pool is going to be mostly med-surg/telemetry units. If CC is where...
I Was Fired...for Being Abrasive and Having Attitude

Nurse SMS replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

Lung Sounds!!

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

Deep breath and dial it back a bit here. A terrible nurse? That's just insecurity talking. Don't let those kinds of anxious thoughts take root. You don't look at a toddler learning to walk and tell it...

Quarantined Nurse’s Scorching Anti-CDC Rant Goes Viral

Nurse SMS replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

The handling of this crisis has been horrifically botched. Yes, testing doesn't sway treatment all that much, but what it DOES impact is tracking the spread, tracking the virulence (ie: if more people...
Coronavirus-Are we ready to talk about rationing care?

Nurse SMS replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

Yeah, nurses to work the situation is part of the equation, but there are limits on beds, vents, meds, protective gear and the like. I have a girlfriend (nurse) from China who sent on video - it was...
This is why managing a pandemic by way of the honor system is a Really Bad Idea

Nurse SMS replied to Nurse and Spy's topic in Disaster Preparation

They are trying, but it appears to already be failing. Italy and Europe in general are very used to open borders and freedom of movement. China, being a communist country, is more poised to enforce...

Nurse SMS replied to Nurse and Spy's topic in Disaster Preparation
