  1. Tough finding work?

    LalaJJB replied to kuxiam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Get a job at a hospital while you're in school... if you can't get a paid position, get a volunteer position. If you do well (paid or voluteer), you'll develop your reputation in the hospital. If you...

  2. Ok whats the deal? Union or not? (non-represented or union represented)

    LalaJJB replied to MrLVNtoRN's topic in Washington Nursing

    You'll join the union when you get hired. They send you an application along with your contract.

  3. Things we think that we do not say... humorous...

    LalaJJB replied to Baubo516's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  4. Jaded

    LalaJJB replied to RustyMedic's topic in Emergency

    I feel ya. It's nice to have co-workers feel the same way to vent with... however, I made a personal decision to provide the best customer service, regardless of how many times the pt has been into...

    LalaJJB posted a topic in Emergency

  6. Scrubs in the Emergency Department

    LalaJJB replied to Krystall's topic in Emergency

    I think I'm fortunate! We have to wear scrub bottoms... but for the top, we can wear a t-shirt as long as it doesn't have crazy pictures or advertising on it... oh, and the t-shirt has to be cotton....

  7. What do you hate seeing the MOST in the ER!?

    LalaJJB replied to CrashED's topic in Emergency

    That's the worst! The situation is terrible... and when they throw in "my sister is a pharmacist" or other such healthcare professional, that irks me to the core. Sometimes I wish there were ways...

  8. What do you hate seeing the MOST in the ER!?

    LalaJJB replied to CrashED's topic in Emergency

    The same person 4 days in a row with the same complaint that doesn't constitute and emergency (sniffles, afebrile, negative influenza, clear chest xr, etc)... and when they are d/c'd they think it's...

  9. New Grad interview for ER

    LalaJJB replied to nurseswearscrubs's topic in Emergency

    Like brainkandy said: If you sell yourself on the "normal" interview questions like why should we hire you, you should do well. The scenario questions are based on critical thinking... if this...

  18. Tacoma Community College Nursing Program

    LalaJJB replied to fegleyb's topic in Washington Nursing

    You have to re-apply each time (no waitlist)... which kinda sucks. They admit the first 24 on this list, but if a person doesn't accept the offer, or doesn't reply in the allotted response time, they...
