I really really would like some advice from my fellow nurses! I will try to keep this short. Thanks in advance. I was recently terminated (February) from a LTC facility after being assaulted by a patient. That was not the first time. However, I al...

HAHA I hear you. I know that there will be moments where I will be under some stress. The CM position is a lot of work, but its all telephonic and its a different beast compared to the bedside in my opinion. I think the culture of the environment mak...

I thought about that but I was also thinking you need a lot more experience for PD jobs? Were I live, you need 2 years experience for almost every job that's out there. I was actually surprised when I landed this one with limited experience.

Hi Nurses!! I'm reaching out to all of you for some advice concerning which path is wisest to take. However, a brief background. I'm a new nurse with only 11 months of experience in the LTC setting. I thrived at the bedside and was very good at what...

Hey I know I am super late with this threat. I was looking through similar threads to see how other nurses get past HR after putting they were fired on online applications. I was recently terminated after being physically assaulted by a patient. Was...

Hey guys. So today was a rough day. It was one of those I dont want to go back to work days. A seasoned nurse got in my face to the point two people had to hold her back and escort her out the room. Sigh...I absolutely hate conflict. I need some advi...

I def realize that now. I didn't tell on her because I was trying to snitch her out...like I said, its a long story. I was talking to the supervisor about why I was upset and that was part of it. That conversation was supposed to be in confidence......

Thanks guys. Awesome advice. I'll try to answer all the questions because somehow my phone is not allowing me to use the quotes.1.why she did it? Because the patient refuses his meds so they usually have to crush them and disguise them in the food. S...

The thing is, I didn't see or experience any of that on other units. Everyone so far has been so awesome. I would hate to leave because of one person but it kind of looks like I may have to if things continue down an ugly road Not what I wanted to ...

I have a question for current RNs who have failed the NCLEX before passing. However, some background first... While I attended school, I volunteered with an instructor doing some community outreach over a period of time. While working with her, she ...

I see. I got the two recommendations but I was denied the position anyway. Was really really looking forward to working with this organization. Guess its back to the drawing board (not that I left lol).

Got a rejection letter today. So sad

Thanks so much for this information! I'm more than willing to move (although moving from a place like Philadelphia to Arkansas sounds really intimidating especially alone and without a vehicle). I will do some research to see what that process would...

I'm an old new grad who is currently out of work...my situation looks really gloom because not only am I an old new grad (graduated over a year ago, recently passed the NCLEX on Oct 25th), but I have absolutely NO experience in the medical field. I o...

Hey, I applied for the Medical residency program. I turned everything in on 25th but have not heard back from them as of today. I'm really nervous because I reaaally think this is an awesome opportunity for me. Will try to keep you posted.

How long did the entire process take? I recently applied to the Medical Residency program that begins in February 2014. I also wanted to call to confirm that they got my packet but no phone number is available.

I practiced a lot of questions from the Saunders and Mary-ann Hogan CDs. The areas that I was weaker in (lower scores), I practiced more questions in those areas until those scores got higher. I also went over basic lab values during the week. Someo...

Ok. I definitely understand that. For me its been a year and 7 months. I completely understand if someone wants to ask "so what have you been doing during that time" etc. I'm also expecting to have a hard time with jobs...that's why I'm looking for ...

Okay so I just got accepted to Drexel University's BSN program. For those of you who may not know anything about Drexel, it is a private University where the cost is 38K+ PER YEAR for tuition ALONE - This does not include books and living expenses. I...

Yes I meant 3.5 years sorry, its 7 semesters Let me know if you get it!!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you! BTW call them to check on things they are really niuce, melissa is the Nursing admissions advisor she went out of her way to personally ...

My application was in before the closing date so I was told its okay if my things take some time to come. But yeah...its probably closed for the year. Most programs in Philly are closed right now...until next year.

Yes the only thing I'm waiting for is my letter of recommendation. That's why my application was late in the first place with the other schools. CCP teachers take FOREVER to give you a letter of recommendation. Anywayz, you said it takes 3.5 semeste...

OMGosh I just want to thank you all for ALL the great advice. I'm a very open-minded person and I accept that I do not know everything so thanks again for all the advice. I recently applied to LaSalle University 16K per year as well as Holy Family ...

O definitely...To be honest, the very first program I tried was the one at my local community college. Even though its a community college, they are in the top 10 ranking for their nursing program. So to all those who think its just about going to an...
