  2. Look. This is healthcare employment down and dirty where just about anything goes. I've got 20+ years corporate biz experience. If you don't already know, here's telling you that things are not done...

    Is this legal?

    Yes! And you know what I'd do if I were you? I'd send them some great bakery stuff/card to say thanks for waiting and giving you such kind

    Harper College vs. Northwestern College

    Is this legal?

    No employer needs to wait, not even for a second. I think you were very lucky there to have them wait at all for you. Like, when does that ever happen?! There are now (I'm even gonna say it) a few...
  8. I'm curious as to why she didn't take the NCLEX too. I have heard of grads not taking the NCLEX because of the down economy. It's been said to me that since the chances of employment were very slim,...
  9. I've taken a test like this twice. Some good advice given above in that you can't overthink. Also, if you try and take the test with a certain "intelligence" you will fail. The test is to see that you...
  10. There is no legal action. come on. How awful Op. I read more and more that relocating is so iffy these days for new nurses. It's like throwing your money and time away at a casino slot

    denial to reapply to take the test

    Another thought: ..but I don't think any BON really cares. Better to "reduce the surplus population" Who the heck needs another

    denial to reapply to take the test

    Board exams are quite tight on this stuff. You had specific instructions. Your scenario: If you were someone who was needing to keep monitor of something like your example, you would notify the...

    How do I 'toughen up?'

    How about this novel idea. How about NMs stop hauling nurses into the office for a "talk" all the time over this kind of stuff. How about just a quick notification, FYI, and a "Anything you think I...

    You know, I just came in from cutting the grass and my whole neighborhood is now over populated with kids. I cannot get one moment's peace in my backyard. The thing is, lots of these young parents do...

    My horrible hospital stay. What would you do?

    OP, I take it you are home. I hope your pain is manageable, PO medicated now? So, I am understanding that you didn't get a chance to go PO prior to d/c? What if you got in the car and by the time you...

    Office job for a new grad? Advice please!!!

    Is there another nurse at the practice? Not that that is a deal breaker or anything. If you seem to get along with the doc then I'd give it a try. Who knows this might be the only interview you get...

    New to this field! Have a question!

    Is nursing really a profession?

    Very well played,
  23. Carol, these decisions are not made by clinical people. They are corporate decisions made by corporate stategists (big money people). Hello, my name is Onaclearday, I have 20+ years corporate business...
  24. Yes, some popcorn is necessary. But, let me clarify my points: I have no problem with foreign nurses who independently have come here on their own, become citizens and interviewed for a job along side...
  25. Yeah the troll is at work, most likely. But the issue remains. MollzBSN, you are not aware that nobody cares if you are good or not. It's not about "be ready to compete a little if you have to". It's...
