    Nurses w/ advanced education & patient outcomes

    Like what's going on in your state. Better if the Bachelors requirement also required a GPA to be considered for entrance. Just sayin, 'cause I KA for both my degrees. I always hated it to hear...

    Staffed during orientation????

    Don't think about it anymore OP. You did what a normal person would do. Don't bring it up all, "I'm so sorry...blah, blah" once you go back to work either. Don't set yourself up as someone to kick...

    Hiring managers

    It just depends how things are in your area. Mine is pretty much corporate - large corporate networks. Those are locked down. If you are in a small town area, you probably can mingle your way around....

    concierge ? Really?

    Yup, got a network like that near me. Focus is on concierge. You will not see the best and the brightest U.S. competitively educated RN staff, or support staff for that matter. At this network most...

    I don't like floor nursing...

    Thing is, nurses like this one are not well-liked by management. She probably quit or was forced out. I hope not, but, isn't that usually how it

    Lateral Violence Research

    Hey Snow, I say do it. As you are part of the study, you should not tell anyone at all. Really, you would "taint" yourself. IF you are worried, talk to the NIH about your worries about being...

    What am I doing wrong?

    No don't shell out any more $. Sometimes hospitals do not want nursing students because they know they won't be able to have you work as much as they'd like if you are in school. Sometimes, it's...
  13. OP, do what ever floats your boat. None of it will make you more or less likely to be hired than the next in any quantifiable measure. Things are different in most areas in this day and age. It's not...

    Leaving new job for a better offer

    Doesn't it feel good to have options! Don't screw it up. Be very very grateful for the op offered in the first job. Be sure you leave with loose ends tied up best you can. Remember, you don't want a...

    "I'm A Good Nurse" Syndrome

    Hate it when people even say that. "I'm a good nurse" what the heck is that?! Sounds very low and childish, similar to a 3 year old who wants something and states, "I'm a good girl", or "I'm a good...
  16. I think it was a minority support kind of thing initially. But, you do raise a good discussion point. Is a special section needed these days? I mean, what do they all do in there anyway... watch...

    How do I get an interview???

    Well, I can tell you that you are in hot competition with probably a thousand or two new grads... or more. Some still from even May/Dec. 2009! That's not to mention all the foreign students who come...
  18. OP, you are right to be concerned. I don't rec nursing. I actually have given people advice on how to find information so they can make a better informed decision, eg. scope out AN, interrogate...

    How to support New Grads....?

    You know I read this stuff, and I'm thinking that your DON keeps dumping the entire responsibility on to you. It is your DON's responsibility to make it all gel. Your DON needs to do his/her job (bet...
  21. You've used up the kindness of your friend. Remember, jobs are extremely hard to find. This friend has already gone above and beyond the call for
  22. Also, at least in my area, LPNs are only seen in nursing homes, and that is even on the rare side these days. Your program could be geared for LTC, which depending on your area hiring practices, might...
  23. You know, all things considered and unforseen, I would just keep my focus on my current career. Sure, take a class or two if you want/can. But, my advice would be to not enter a nursing program....
  24. I think the OP has tried everything... I know 12 people personally who have ditched nursing as NGs with debt unable to find a nursing job. ASN, BSN and 3 MSN. Yikes on the amount of debt they need to...
