  1. CCP Nursing Students (Past/present)

    Guest321574 replied to Freakzilla154l's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm pretty sure they will call to verify the information, so don't lie. The vaccinations you have/don't have affect your clinical placement. Let the coordinator know your situation in full, they may...

  2. Question re: med tests at interview

    Guest321574 replied to Guest321574's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know I thought some of them were kind of out there. Or I could just be embarassing myself that I didn't know the answers, LOL. For instance, I have never even heard of zaroxolyn. There were...

  3. Question re: med tests at interview

    Guest321574 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Wondering if anyone has every gotten several questions wrong on a med test, but still was offered a job? I'm remember some of the questions, and looking up answers, and I think I got at least 3, maybe...

  4. What were your job interview red flags?

    Guest321574 replied to Destiny12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    When I showed up for a scheduled interview and the DON (the person I was interviewing with) had just left for lunch. Then she apologized via the receptionist, stated she had forgotten, and asked me...

  5. RN On-call car plates/sign on cars

    Guest321574 replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I find this odd. She was turned in because as an RN she was expected to stop? And then what happened, nothing? Nurses aren't required to stop at every accident they may happen upon Unless the law...

  6. St joseph hospital school of nursing.

    Guest321574 replied to toya0419's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I know this thread is old, but I just saw this in Craigslist and thought it was "interesting" Nursing

  7. Getting a contact info on a nurse manager

    Guest321574 replied to vivianchi2000RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't know the specific floor, I don't think you'll be able to get info on the manager. The only way I can think of is to ask HR what floor the position is on, and if they give you an answer...

  8. How many patients do you have as a Psych. RN?

    Guest321574 replied to lion09's topic in Psychiatric

    I work in psych and the setup you describe is exactly how our hospital works. Our max is 25 pts, and at night there is only 1 nurse with 2-3 techs. Day has 2 nurses and 3-4

  9. Hospital/HR calls but leaves no message

    Guest321574 replied to Guest321574's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, like when this current job shortage cycles back to a nurse shortage...I know this newish nurse (me) will remember at least which hospitals gave me the time of day, or even bothered to email a...

  10. Hospital/HR calls but leaves no message

    Guest321574 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does this happen often, or has it happened to anyone else? In the past year that I've been job hunting, it has happened multiple times that I've received a phone call from a facility/HR/recruiter, but...

  11. Hospital/HR calls but leaves no message

    Guest321574 replied to Guest321574's topic in General Nursing

    Our voicemail says "Hi you've reached the LastName residence, blah blah blah.", and we are getting other messages. Oh well, I left a message with the recruiter and she still hasn't called, so I'll...

  12. Hospital/HR calls but leaves no message

    Guest321574 replied to Guest321574's topic in General Nursing

    They had my cell, didn't call it When I first started applying last year, I always kept my cell phone close at hand (not that it would have mattered in this most recent instance). But after hundreds...

  13. job possibilities question

    Guest321574 replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    My opinion is to either accept the case mgmt position, knowing you may need to back out later, or buy yourself a day or two by saying "I'd like to discuss the offer with my husband/family, etc" I...

  14. Horray! Job Offer in the ER

    Guest321574 replied to TheEmmyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I also worked as an aide in a hospital in school PLUS a second job, and graduated with a high gpa, and applied to all shifts and areas of nursing. It took me 6 months to find a job, and neither my...

  15. PA Boards

    Guest321574 replied to nursemedic1's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    No you can apply for initial licensure in whatever state you wish. It might take a little more effort if your school is out of state. At a minimum, your school will have to provide their curriculum...

  16. Pa bon -- how long before att

    Guest321574 replied to SirJohnny's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I think it was about 2 or 3 weeks after everything was sent off. You can call the BON main number and ask if they have received your paperwork, but besides yes/no they won't give any more...

  18. Just been accepted to Community College of Philadelphia Nursing Program

    Guest321574 replied to ncfalcon03's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm a CCP grad. CCP doesn't have required online classes, but portions of the nursing classes are delivered online. There really is only 1 nursing class each semester, 7 credits each. The seminar...

  19. Phone Interview

    Guest321574 replied to LPN_2005/RN_10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Really, there is no way to know. Most of the times that I've heard that, I did not get the job. But there was one instance where that wasn't the case. I was told that there was one other person...

  20. Discounts for nurses

    Guest321574 replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    For NY & Company, you can use the offer code 7472 online to get the nurse discount! I saw an advertisement on facebook, and came here to share this very thing! Good thing I did a search...

  21. Taking patients outside to smoke?

    Guest321574 replied to herring_RN's topic in Addictions

    I can't say if its common, but we do this where I work. Its a part of the daily schedule. Actually the psych techs do the smoke breaks. The rehab unit is voluntary, so they are just outside, with...

  22. Orientation question/amt of days a wk

    Guest321574 replied to SMK1211's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Are you sure that the # of weeks won't be extended since you are working less shifts/week? For instance, I got no where near 6 weeks, but for my orientation, most of the nurses got 2 weeks full-time...

  23. Interview next Monday!! What are my chances?

    Guest321574 replied to rn865's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would *guess* that since its specifically for a new grad residency (they tend to be competitive), that if you were invited to interview you have a good

  24. Saunders Comprehensive NCLEX Cd Rom-READ PLEASE

    Guest321574 replied to sophie<3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You really need to have the CD, practicing questions is absolutely necessary. That said, saunders has the easiest questions of the many products out there, so if you want to just have the book for...

  25. Philadelphia area job market?

    Guest321574 replied to PhillyQuaker's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    As an ADN RN with a previous BA, I can say that my BA has made zero difference in helping me find a job. I found something finally after 5 months, in psych. It is true that many LTC facilities also...
