  4. For those new grads who are employed, what's your method?

    LuxCalidaNP replied to grateful2010's topic in General Nursing

    skip calling....show up in business casual with a flawless cotton-paper resume in hand, humility in heart, and genuine enthusiasm. Got me the jobs I wanted.

    LuxCalidaNP replied to Curious88's topic in General Nursing

    mmmm, I think you are making some generalizations that would make enemies faster in the real world than online...whichever profession you go into, being this opinionated about any level on the ladder...

  6. Would your institution hire an MSN w/o BSN?

    LuxCalidaNP replied to chuckster's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm! This is an interesting question. I know that a lot of the RN-MSN programs award a BSN halfway through, might look into that. What I DO know is that MANY NP grads are having a hard time getting...

  8. PLEASE HELP I need Brutal Honesty!!!!

    LuxCalidaNP replied to Wyllowdaemon's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to commend the poster for having the courage to inquire, it's not an easy question to ask nor a fun one for others to consider. CNA could be a great bet, and it's a tough,...

  9. All preferences aside, what is the best "track" for a new nurse to learn?

    LuxCalidaNP replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse is NOT a NURSE is a nurse....etc. not all nurses are alike, but all are equally important...consider your goals! I love the ICU, but it doesn't work towards my goals of being an FNP, so I work...

  11. anxiety attack during an interview

    LuxCalidaNP replied to sammer's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I sometimes struggle with anxiety (which didn't help when I was on our CSICU). Xanax can works wonders at low doses, but I can't get into giving any medical advice per the TOS. I will offer this...

  12. Is it ok to be a shy nurse?

    LuxCalidaNP replied to BearCare's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LuxCalidaNP replied to eryna's topic in General Nursing

  14. Should I get my RN or BSN? What if I already have a Bachelor's degree?

    LuxCalidaNP replied to 31dunn's topic in Nursing Career

    LuxCalidaNP replied to geocachingRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you have an ADN you just have to take the Child Abuse and Public Health

    LuxCalidaNP replied to CaliAlli's topic in Holistic

    As a former herbalist, I came to nursing because I knew I needed to know more. I could have done some serious harm and saw many instances where harm really was done to "patients." My previous thought...

    LuxCalidaNP replied to MEDRULES's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed with the above, I have never seen a medical assistant work in a hospital setting, but it's not impossible. Check in to the federally-qualified health centers (FQHC) about employment options,...

  18. RN's in dr. offices

    LuxCalidaNP replied to weluv3's topic in General Nursing

    LuxCalidaNP replied to divaRN*'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but in Virginia, it doesn't matter who took the picture, if the healthcare provider is the one to post it, they can lose their license first time around. If they're visiting as friends, its...
