  1. Fine line of abuse

    RNMariposa posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today I was speaking to a nursing recruiter for a facility that I won't name. In one moment it sounded as if he was trying to convince me to join the facility and in the next breath it sounded like he...

  2. 3 year contract?

    RNMariposa posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a fairly new nurse. Currently, I am working per diem at a facility. It is great but they aren't looking to hire anyone full time in the near future. I am really needing a full time job so I have...

  3. Nursing instructor that reads powerpoint word for word

    RNMariposa replied to mwdw04's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Group study works depending on who is in the group... if it is a bunch of your friends then you may end up socializing instead of studying. Also, you don't want to spend your time teaching everyone...

  4. Nursing instructor that reads powerpoint word for word

    RNMariposa replied to mwdw04's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You aren't alone. I had a class like yours and I had to end up teaching myself. I went the the teacher and I didn't get any help from her. I have to do my own reading and look up everything myself.......

  5. 3 year contract?

    RNMariposa replied to RNMariposa's topic in General Nursing

    No, I wanted to know what other nurses thought and find out what has been the experience of others. I haven't been around long enough to know if this is normal or out there. I was trying to explain...

  7. 3 year contract?

    RNMariposa replied to RNMariposa's topic in General Nursing

    They gave me specifics... The orientation is regular pay rate. I would have to pay that amount back and the amount of any training they paid for me to get... as in getting certified in anything. Also,...

    RNMariposa replied to RNMariposa's topic in General Nursing

    No it

  9. 3 year contract?

    RNMariposa replied to RNMariposa's topic in General Nursing

    No, I haven't seen the contract but she said it was just an agreement that if they pay for orienting me and any extra training (ie- IV certification, PALS, etc) that I would have to pay them back the...

  10. 3 year contract?

    RNMariposa replied to RNMariposa's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really know as there are benefits to signing the contract. Just knowing that I am expected to be somewhere for 3 years is both good and bad. Good because unless I really screw up they aren't...

  11. What kind of nurse are you?

    RNMariposa posted a topic in General Nursing

    Before I entered nursing school I thought I had it all figured out as to what field of nursing I wanted to enter. Now I am not so sure because I have had the time to see there are more options than I...

  12. Recent New Grads: Job Search Poll

    RNMariposa replied to muesli's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I took my boards Dec 08 and I started looking for a job in Jan 09. I still have yet to find a full time position. Currently I am working per diem at a residential facility that is both a school and a...

  13. What kind of nurse are you?

    RNMariposa replied to RNMariposa's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone. I guess I am just having problems with determining where I want to go. I want to go back to school and do my RN to Masters but I don't know what area I want to be in now. I know there...

  14. NCLEX HELP PLEASE!!!

    RNMariposa replied to rdeol05's topic in General Nursing

    I know everyone is for hurrying up with getting the test over but I am always wary of rushing things. If you have other things going on I would say wait until you get back. Take a book with you and...

  15. Those nursing students that just don't seem to "get it"

    RNMariposa replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Students

    I had a classmate like this. There were several people who believed this person should not have passed clinicals at all. Obviously, this person had the grades or they would have failed out but in...

  16. About to take Anatomy & Physiology.........need input!

    RNMariposa replied to Shawn7997's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above. Get the book now and just start to read over some things or at least try to start memorizing the bones and muscles. Flash cards helped me as did the A&P coloring book. Our...

  17. new grad jobs in nj???

    RNMariposa replied to quinnie50's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Sorry, I just saw this now. I was asked to come to Florida, Texas, and Louisianna. The Florida people said the position they had was filled but they other places in Georgia. I also got an email from a...

  18. Does the college you graduate from matter??

    RNMariposa replied to malaysmith's topic in General Nursing

    I would say save your money and go to the cheaper school. The most important thing is the program itself and not which school it is. What are you going to be learning? What kinds of clinicals are you...

  19. when should i start applying for jobs???

    RNMariposa replied to orgo geek's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First you should get used to the good possibility that you will not get your first choice in positions. Especially with L&D, most hospitals are not willing to look at new grads for this area. You...

  20. C-section rate

    RNMariposa replied to rosier's topic in General Nursing

    Yes the C/S rate is going up. Some women are scared of pain and they don't want to feel anything. They don't realize that C/S pain will be much worse. Some women want "designer deliveries" where they...

  21. Does "your" instead of "you're" drive anyone else nuts?

    RNMariposa replied to *ac*'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes! You aren't alone. It drives me crazy

  22. Atlantic Health Hire Learning Program

    RNMariposa replied to ladyash's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I just went to a career fair and there was a recruiter from Atlantic Health. The lady said they weren't hiring any new grads at this

  23. Graduating...moving...does anyone work in Seattle?

    RNMariposa replied to Tasket's topic in General Nursing

    I went to college (the first time) in Seattle. I loved it but it was far from my friends/fam so I moved back east. If you are prone to SAD (like others have said) it might not be the best place for...

  25. New Grad RN

    RNMariposa replied to sqadir1's topic in General Nursing

    Go out and buy the book "60 Seconds and You're Hired!" by Robin Ryan. I found it to be the best book. It has tough interview questions and provides insight on how to answer tham in a better way. It...
