    Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    I think MOST of us understand that the OP does not feel entitled. SOMETIMES it's the "only" degree nurses that feel entitled, IMHO when I read through some of these posts. And really, these days? If...
  6. Not gonna toss rainbows and skittles up your butt, OP. Here is what you do. Go ahead with your studies. BUT, keep and eye on the market for nurses. If it is the same after your first two years or so,...

    Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    Do You Wear a Lab coat?

    when did you have your OR clinicals?

    If you want to do stuff, you need to prove yourselves worthy when in clinical. I got to see several different surgeries, 2 of which being hearts. I impressed the OR coordinator by correctly answering...

    "Sir or Ma'am" when addressing physicians?

  21. I think the OP said she applied for the job (which anyone can do). I'd be surprised if the OP got an interview. But, having said that if a private owner without any medical background, and a new...
