  1. Logic and Old Nurses

    whodatnurse replied to Flipper911's topic in General Nursing

    Are you saying that in your classrooms, whenever you try to have students debate an issue, that it gets out of hand with people personally attacking one another rather than presenting well-reasoned...

    whodatnurse replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    So she's going to live in a convent for a year? WOW! I spent 12 years attending Catholic school. If there had been a nightmare job out there for me...now I KNOW what it would be. LOL Just kidding....

  3. New Grad Jobs

    whodatnurse replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    For my ABSN program, we were all informed in writing: "You are expected NOT to work during the program." Of course, a handful did anyway. Of the few students who did NOT make it through the program,...

  4. I am an American.

    whodatnurse replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    America IS in trouble. I've watched my condominium community transform over just several years from primarily owner-occupied to "hotel H1-B". Dozens and dozens of workers and their families coming...

    There is an upcoming march on Washington scheduled for October 2. I'm just learning about it. They trying to rally ALL of America's unemployed. It seems to be backed by the NAACP, and is being...

  7. New Grad RN need not apply

    whodatnurse replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're very welcome. I did stop and think for a minute before deciding whether or not to respond to your previous post. (I don't waste my time on any that are clearly nothing more than bait for a...

  8. New Grad RN need not apply

    whodatnurse replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm ONLY responding to your very last sentence. I have nothing to say about the rest of it. The classes that graduated between May 2009 and December 2009 absolutely were blindsided. When I applied to...

    Such charitable assumptions some of you folks make about those of us struggling to find

    whodatnurse replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you for sharing your story on a day when I have never before felt like SUCH a lost soul who is NEVER going to work again. I didn't get the latest job I interviewed for...and...well, I suppose...

  11. What do you pack for breakfast & lunch?

    whodatnurse replied to shuubie's topic in General Nursing

    Breakfast is a hard-boiled egg. Mid-morning snack is cheese and fruit. Lunch is always some kid of pasta dish I make at home that also contains protein and veggies. (I'm Italian; plus, I really like...

    whodatnurse replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    whodatnurse replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    You aren't seeing the ones that bashed the person, instead of responding to her

  14. Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    whodatnurse replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    Judging from the first 100 characters of what keeps showing up in my inbox... sirI...You must be busy, busy, busy this afternoon. I'm sending you a cyber brewski!

  15. Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    whodatnurse replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah...c'mon. Don't run away. I too think my school should give ME my money back. I have had my days of boohooing over this crazy situation we're in...and you sound like you are having one of...

  16. Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    whodatnurse replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    Government jobs in general seem to take awhile. I applied for a local government job in a neighboring state. FOUR MONTHS after I interviewed (and had long since stopped following up with every...

  17. Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    whodatnurse replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a 'new' grad who graduated exactly one year ago today with my BSN...and I still don't have a job. I clearly hear your frustration and fear...but you can't blame your educational institution for...

    whodatnurse replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing

    Give them MY number! I'm an unemployed new grad. I'm ready, willing, and able to come in and work!! It's a guilt-free win-win-win

  19. New Grad RN need not apply

    whodatnurse replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No? I guess from reading on here I had gotten the impression that Texas and surrounding states (NM/OK) were hiring...somewhat. But you would know better than me what's really going on over there....

  20. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    whodatnurse replied to Sophiamez's topic in Nursing Career

    If you ever find a career of the 21st century that equals guaranteed job....please do come back and let the rest of US know!!! I'm afraid there's risk involved with just about any career path you...

  22. First year nightmare...

    whodatnurse replied to shippoRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Your story is similar to classmates of mine. They all left those jobs within weeks...unwilling to live like that and put their licenses in jeopardy. They're also without jobs right now (as am I). I...

  23. New Grad RN need not apply

    whodatnurse replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ohyeah - I feel your pain. My story is the same as yours, as is that of a number of my classmates, who are all coming up on our 1 year mark since graduating. I live in the mid-Atlantic, with an...

  24. Chronic back injury...losing hope

    whodatnurse replied to KWFACE's topic in General Nursing

    Who told you there's not much they can do for this injury? Did you actually go see the chiropractor? This sounds like the type of thing they're best suited to treat. You may also want to investigate...

    whodatnurse replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in Virginia Nursing

    Aloha and welcome. Just wanted to say that Hawaii nurses rock! I was only hospitalized once in my life...in Hilo, HI. They took excellent care of me and kept me well stocked with guava juice. SO...
