  1. I Quit!! What do I say?

    Sl1011 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    No, I actually don't have it in writing. I am supposed to wait for the offer, and it's either coming by mail or email very soon. I'm supposed to call a number and set up my hospital physical, and...

  2. Anyone work at the VA?? Need info

    Sl1011 replied to Sl1011's topic in Government, Military

    Is where you wrote AWOL... that doesn't mean like calling out sick right? That just means not showing up period w/o calling out? How are the pay increases? Oh, I see the application process is long....

  3. Will I be Stuck?!

    Sl1011 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I graduated nursing school on Aug 6th, and I had my baby August 1st. I got an interview and job offer the week before I gave birth at a really large Doctor's Office (they have 6 clinics within 30...

  4. Will I be Stuck?!

    Sl1011 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you.. I'm still applying, but haven't gotten anywhere yet. The job I have now is pretty easy, but in a way I just don't feel like a nurse. I'm doing the same thing MAs are doing, and there's...

  5. What happens to your PTO

    Sl1011 replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    My doctor's office that I work at pays it out in a lump sum. You must give proper notice, 2 weeks or 4 weeks depending on your position.. and you can't call out sick or take any days off within that...

  6. Will I be Stuck?!

    Sl1011 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've had this job for almost 3 months now and graduated about 4 months ago. I've been applying at hospitals, and nothing I've had a couple friends recently get hired and this is their first...

    Sl1011 replied to weluv3's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in August, and I was hired as an RN before I graduated. I'm the ONLY RN working at my office. There are 5 different family practice locations with this company.. and she has hired a few...

  8. Do I need Insurance?

    Sl1011 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new RN, and I'll be starting work next Monday at a Family Practice (1st job). Do you think I would need liability insurance? If so, what is a good company to get it

  9. BEST Nursing Shoes??

    Sl1011 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'll be starting my new job as a RN at a family practice in 1 week. I was wondering what shoes you all recommend? I didn't have proper nursing shoes through nursing school (cheap tennis shoes), but...

  10. what area of nursing is 9-5, no w/e and whats the pay like? NY

    Sl1011 replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    I must have gotten lucky right out of school and I'm very thankful!! I applied to like 6 hospitals, and only one wanted to hire me as a new grad. The rest wanted experience.. grrr. So I started...

  11. "Hospital Nursing is soooo Easy!!"

    Sl1011 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've only worked at the family practice for a month (I wrote another post about quitting this job soon), and the people I work with think being a nurse at a hospital is so damn easy. They think...

  12. "Hospital Nursing is soooo Easy!!"

    Sl1011 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Yes!! And that's one of the reasons I do not want to work there anymore. I thought the hours would be better, but actually they aren't TOO much better. And you really do have to anticipate their...

  13. "Hospital Nursing is soooo Easy!!"

    Sl1011 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should say :) I've never worked at a hospital... so I can't really say, but I do know how I feel from what I did in clinicals and in

  14. Is this Normal?!

    Sl1011 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been at this Doctor's Office job as a new RN since 9/13, and I applied at an Endoscopy center before I started here. At the end of Sept I was offered a PRN job (averaging 32 hours a week) with...

  15. Is this Normal?!

    Sl1011 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah... I'll probably say that, as far as the hours. Should I mention that I accepted another job offer, or should I just leave that out? Luckily, this clinic closes at like 4/430.. and they stop...

  16. New Grad RN, 17 weeks pregnant with upcoming interview

    Sl1011 replied to skschultzRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with the rest.... don't mention your pregnancy. I interviewed at 37 weeks pregnant, so it was super obvious that I was pregnant. So we did discuss that I had child care lined up, etc, and I...

  17. Which job looks better on a resume for a future employer?

    Sl1011 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does it look better to future employers to have had experience in Family Practice Nursing OR experience at an Endoscopy Center? **** Maybe I should have added more info :) I'm a new RN (since...

  18. Should I take bagels first day of work?

    Sl1011 replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would personally wait a week or two... so it doesn't look like you're trying hard to impress. After a couple weeks you'll get to know them all a little better

    Sl1011 replied to believeallispossible's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think it's a good idea.. I really liked it and I think it helped me on the NCLEX. I passed with 75 questions, and had a ton of prioritization

  22. Why such a difference in pay????

    Sl1011 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I think I took an extra 35 minutes for my lunch. I stayed at the interview for 50 minutes... 20 minutes more than I had planned, so i had to rush home and pump real quick (not as long as I would have...

    Sl1011 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    My friend got this job b/c she has a friend who works there, and they hired her a few weeks after graduation. They put her on as a tech b/c she didn't have her license. She just tested last week and...

  24. Why such a difference in pay????

    Sl1011 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing
