  2. Why so much competition between nurses?

    MrsCrypes posted a topic in General Nursing

    Every now and then, I attend nursing conferences, nursing fairs and have always noticed that there is this constant competition between nurses. I attended a PRI certification course and some nurses...

  3. ADN nurses with other BS degree

    MrsCrypes replied to njmomstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I also went the same route as you: I attended a fantastic community college for my AAS (it was soo competitive to get in b/c you practically paid nothing for it) and I already had a previous BS in...

  4. Why so much competition between nurses?

    MrsCrypes replied to MrsCrypes's topic in General Nursing

    oh c'mon tencat, can't blame a person for accomplished work behind their name, but the horn- tooting I can agree with. I have also known the nurses with a good amount of achievements behind their...

    MrsCrypes replied to healthstar's topic in General Nursing

    anyone please correct me if I am wrong, to find the MPI - that's where you need to know where to find it (which is the 5th ICS at left Midclavicular line).... Otherwise i've known (and am guilty) of...

  8. Counting respirations

    MrsCrypes replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    why nurses skip it, beyond me...it's total laziness on their part. I just automatically count for 30 seconds as i check their pulse. the trick is the place their hand on their chest as you count their...

  9. Why so much competition between nurses?

    MrsCrypes replied to MrsCrypes's topic in General Nursing

    Better social skills....hmmm, resume reciting is just a huge turn off. When nurses do that to me, I usually tune off everything else that comes after that and move on to speaking to someone who...

  10. New Graduate LPN needs help finding job in New Jersey

    MrsCrypes replied to tumecaj1122's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I totally agree with you, it's like a vicious cycle: no one will hire me b/c i don't have experience, but how can I get experience if no one will hire me.... I agree with another nurse who stated...

  11. Hello Nurses! I decided on a school, need feed back! =)

    MrsCrypes replied to tracey87's topic in General Students

    Personally, you are doing roughly the ball park amount of time of completing the LVN degree that you could be doing for the RN degree. Depending on the state, you make more (with more responsibility)...

  12. Question re: med tests at interview

    MrsCrypes replied to Guest321574's topic in General Nursing

    For a home care position, I have a 10 question meds test in which I got 9/10 right. It was very simple I thought and what I got wrong had to do with the food you are NOT to administer to someone on...

  13. Why so much competition between nurses?

    MrsCrypes replied to MrsCrypes's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree, but really, I have to hear someone recite their resume while at a certification course. Job fairs - it's fair game, but not during class / certification

  17. Is it possible to work in NY area with an ADN?

    MrsCrypes replied to allthingsbright's topic in New York Nursing

    Absolutely possible for you to find a job with ADN, but put in your resume and stress that you are working on your BSN. I graduated with an ADN, am finishing up my BSN, but that was a huge factor on...

  18. Burned out already?

    MrsCrypes replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    I understand completely. In the next state that you're in, see if they have an ER fellowship / internship. I know a nurse friend of mine that did that and she absolutely loved it. She also received...

    MrsCrypes replied to SHURN's topic in General Nursing

    I will say this, make sure you can view your charting, not only is the DA going to question you but the OTHER lawyer as well. I think you should be fine, but definitely look at your charting and maybe...

    MrsCrypes replied to foreverhopeful's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  25. Burned out already?

    MrsCrypes replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing
