  1. Longing and Wanting

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to vanesp's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    All you can do is apply and try! You never know. Sometimes employers looks @ no experience as a positive thing, believe it or not. They don't have to re-train you how to do things their way. Just have...

  2. Anyone else find nursing school not as tough?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to FLNurse2015's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think most people who are capable of getting into a nursing program are very intelligent and ver capable of the work. I think the "difficulty" sets in when fatigue takes over. It gets hard to stay...

  3. New grad--should I specialize in ICU or L&D??

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to girliegirlieRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No offense taken, seriously! I wasn't trying to be rude in my reply.....sorry if you took it that way! I realize that what I may consider "difficult" is very subjective and is subject to change with...

  4. New grad--should I specialize in ICU or L&D??

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to girliegirlieRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess it depends on our own strengths and weaknesses that will determine what is easier vs harder but I completely disagree with above. L&D is extremely faced-paced and requires quick critical...

    It will be a huge learning curve but you will get it! I started at an ob/gyn office 2 months ago and am still learning how to function in the office setting. Your assessment skills you gained from the...

  7. Any OB triage nurses?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to joyfullpn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi! I just started a job 2 months ago as an ob/gyn telephone triage nurse in a busy office......maybe I could help you? It is MUCH harder than I expected. And it is MUCH DIFFERENT than hospital...

  8. Does anyone else experience pain from standing all day?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to Margaritaville's topic in Operating Room

    Compression stockings are good too! Especially for you OR nurses. I used to wear them at the hospital

  9. Do you remember your first day on the job?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    It's not my first day anymore....but I did just switch jobs two months ago. Scary as heck and unbelievably challenging! Thanks for sharing

  10. How long?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to Emilynn09's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Where I live, ANY nursing experience will help you get a job that isn't intended for "new grads." With 9 months experience, I would apply to any jobs intended for "experience of 1 year." When I was...

  11. OB/GYN nurses!?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am new to the ob/gyn office setting so its too early for me to say "what I see the most given" is.....but we still do implanon. We only have 1 provider trained to do it so I don't see it a ton (we...

  12. Is she trying to intimidate me?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would just ignore her and move on. Don't dwell on petty BS since that can be worse than the person giving you BS.Good

  13. 5 interviews no offers.NEED HELP

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to cutienurse6711's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You may not be doing anything wrong, it may be that the competition is really high. It's hard to say without knowing what you actually say in response to questions. The best advice I can give is to...

  14. Waiting after interview advice...the suspense

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to cutienurse6711's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know the suspense can kill!! I was told for my current job that I would know the decision by a week after the interview......it ended up being 3 weeks after that I finally heard that I got the...

  15. Med/surg first?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to olliesmommy1005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Some hospitals allow you to start in l/d as a new grad. It's not necessary but because of the competition for those floors those spots normally go to experienced nurses.Good luck! OB is a wonderful...

  16. Resume help please!!!

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to ginmarada's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Your resume might come off a little biased when applying to floor like med-surg. You have everywhere that your passion is in woman's health which may make another type of unit weary. They might be...

  17. Job Decision Help- Please!

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to blonde0140's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's tough....and you have a baby-BABY at home. I will say from my experience that it's easier said than done. I have worked in m/b for 8 months with the same hope of working in l/d. I work straight...

  18. How to summarize clinical exp on resume.

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to gloryfied's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with the poster above.....My new position required A YEAR of OB experience in which I only had 8 months. The HM said, "I consider 8 months close enough." I'm sure some workplaces enforce...

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    I remember my first time with patients contact (in nursing school) was soo akward! It felt really unnatural lol It took a while for me to feel comfortable. I even felt nervous about patient contact...

  22. Am I wasting my time going for my ADN?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to ashleylynne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It must be where you live. I live in NY and know that NYC is brutal for ADN nurses but, upstate is very generous. Its best to research your area and see what's in demand. Where I lived, BSN wasn't...

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to greyL's topic in Operating Room
