do what's best for your family! if you have to ask you know the answer

try North Carolina. I moved from San Jose CA to NC for school bc the wait list was so long in the bay area. Graduated may 2011 and I had a job before graduation, granted I was class president and worked as a CNA, but 100% of my ADN classmates had jo...

Just because you work for a union doesn't mean you will never get terminated. In fact, to get terminated from a union job, the employer has to have lots of documentation and consult multiple parties. Not to judge, because I have NO idea what has happ...

I'm sorry, but :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::hpygrp: and if you were really feeling proactive, the very first link after a simple google search for "AACN CCRN" would show the page with the requirements to be eligible to take the exam........ just sayin

ooops double post

New Grads make 19.64 and hour at NHRMC. I worked there as a CNA while in Nursing school, just graduated and accepted position at another hospital where I will be making more....as a former employee who quit NHRMC, I recommend taking a position elsewh...

@Ris-How did everything go when you were down here? :)

I have to disagree "we don't have to make a crap load of money down here". Nursing is hard and requires a certain skill set. Nurses deserved to get paid what they are worth, and my education and the **** I put up with on a daily basis deserves more t...

Awesome pearls of wisdon, THANK you!! :heartbeat

*dear mods, please don't move my post to the ICU or first year after grad forum, I feel like I will get more advice here. thanks!* So I was offered a dream job at a cardiac hospital in their Cardiovascular ICU (CVICU). It will include 6 months of ori...

I will orient on days first, then transition to nights, then be working nights. I know nights are busy as well, but not as busy as hot off the grill fresh hearts lol Thanks for the encouragement!

would you be responsible for getting the child up in the morning, bathed and dressed in the morning for school? If I leave the hospital at 7:30, and my kid needs to be to school at 8/815......see what I mean? Besides that, I think it's a great idea.

Turned in my final yesterday morning at 10:36, officially passed nursing school by the grace of God at 5:32 PM, was drunk with my classmates downtown by 8:30PM and will graduate Friday the 6th and will be pinned on Saturday the 7th. WE DID IT!! WOOT ...

I want to add my thanks to this as well!!! :yeah::redbeathe:redbeathe:bowingpur:beer: :tku: I have been using this site since BEFORE nursing school, and now I'm graduating in ohhhh 9 days and I am very thankful to those who have responded to my ques...

Being a witch (with a 'b' ) is unnecessary and is contributes to the whole lateral violence issue in nursing. I am all about building up and helping people help themselves. I graduate in a few weeks and I hope I can bring that attitude to the unit I ...

P.P.S. pardon the misspellings. I went out after class with a few nursing friends to celebrate and have had a few glasses of wine haha

I graduate May 6th. I have interviewed at 2 seperate hopsitals. I was asked Behavior Based Interview questions at both of them. HR asked me some BBI questions, the manager asked me some BBI questions, and the peer team asked me BBI questions. You ca...

If she is going into cardiac, maybe a "EKG's made easy" or "cardiac nursing" reference book? EKG calipers, nice pens and pen lights tend to "grow legs". And using hearts would not be cheesy! I think it would be super cute! We get to decorate at the c...

Those who know and love know I would take a pedi/wine over a coffee mug with "Nurses are angels" or whatever on it as I don't drink coffee or tea. If they knew out my fave pen, I would appreciate a giant pack from staples. But you know what I would ...

I am graduating nursing school in 3 weeks. As someone who has been super stressed the past few years, I personally would want something fun/relaxing that I wouldn't buy for myself ex: pedicure ($30 ish?) gift certificate to fave boutique, massage, fa...

I'm currently in nursing school. We were required to buy a book (Mosbys) with all the lab values and it listed all the various reasons for numbers being abnormal. When I didn't have my book, a simple google search brought up all kinds of reputable si...

working as a medical assistant is healthcare exp. add up the time you have worked as a CMA (3-4 yrs) and as an aide and put that good luck!

I have worked at NHRMC for the past year and a half as an NA II and will be graduating with my BSN in a month, yay! The New Grad pay is low. $19.76 an hour. Night shift diff is $5 an hour and weekend diff is $3 New Grads are only hired on the med/sur...

Well I'm guessing you come out in your tap dance uniform and sing while you dance a jig. Then in the next round you put on you pagent dress and are asked a question...something along the lines of "Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't lo...
