  1. when should I call about an application? and what to say?

    noahsmama replied to imfinallyanRN's topic in General Nursing

    Did you submit the application directly to the nurse manager who already knows you, or did you submit it to HR? If you submitted it to HR, I would go ahead and call the manager right away, just to...

  3. How to reconstitute amoxicillin?

    noahsmama replied to Tazike's topic in Patient Medications

    Is there a pharmacy where you work that you can call and ask? If not, can you ask any of the other nurses where you work? I think they would be a better source of information than an Internet

  4. Old Women Hit by Car...What Would You Do?

    noahsmama replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    He didn't move her, she moved herself (with his assistance, but sounds like she still got up and walked herself?). Seems to me that if she was capable of getting up and moving herself, there's no...

  5. How would YOU like to see a nurse portrayed in the media?

    noahsmama replied to purple_nomad's topic in General Nursing

    What I would like to see is more "real life" medical shows, that follow real patients, real doctors, and real nurses. I've seen a few shows like that, and enjoy them far more than the fictional shows...

  6. American Red Cross Assignments

    noahsmama replied to raymell80's topic in General Nursing

    Find the Red Cross chapter nearest to you and give them a call. I volunteered for them for a while before going to nursing school -- I was taking calls on their 800 number from people in the...

  7. Nureses and Tattoos (esp. in San Francisco area)

    noahsmama replied to oldskoolchop's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Oakland, and I would not recommend moving here as a new grad -- there are no jobs for new grads, tattooed or

  8. I am leaving nursing...

    noahsmama replied to littlemammanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would totally be a SAHM if I could afford it! Best of luck to you and your

  9. What would you rather do?

    noahsmama replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    Have you asked your landlords if they'd be willing to let you out of your lease early? Can't hurt to ask. Good

  10. The CA New Grad Crisis?

    noahsmama replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    You might be seeing a large number of posts from Californians because CA is by far the most populous state in the US, with 37 million people, which is almost 12% of the US population. One out of...

  11. Which Job would YOU rather have??

    noahsmama replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I'd go for the office job, but that's because I'm a single mom with a child in elementary school -- in fact I switched to public health nursing to get away from hospital hours. I LOVE working...

  12. To all the newbie ER nurses out there...

    noahsmama replied to shieldanvil81's topic in Emergency

    Or, people could look at the little symbol next to the user name at the top of the post, which indicates if they are male or female -- right next to the little flag which shows which country they are...

    noahsmama replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    Yikes! If I ever had an assignment like that, they'd have to put ME on a stretcher! Hope next week is better for

  14. Occupational Therapy or Psych Nurse Practitoner

    noahsmama replied to jbritt's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the time the training takes should be the deciding factor -- once you're done with your training, you're likely to work in whichever field you choose for a loooong time (not that you...

  15. Finally got an interview

    noahsmama replied to NurseLil-lea's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely go to the interview -- at least you can practice your interviewing skills! What about doing an LPN-RN bridge to get yourself up to the RN pay scale? I don't know if those programs...

  16. Your Dream Emergency Department...

    noahsmama replied to LegzRN's topic in Emergency

    I was stuck in a hallway bed as an ED pt too, and I wholeheartedly agree! Never knew this was something that was done till then (it wasn't the ED of a hospital I worked in, so I had never been there...

  17. Finally got an interview

    noahsmama replied to NurseLil-lea's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think any of us can answer this question for you, because it really depends on what your personal priorities are. If what they would pay you really is the going rate for new grad RNs, then...

  18. Need advice on job offer

    noahsmama replied to CKS's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's so weird. It STILL doesn't make sense to me -- but all the more reason to move on! Best of

  19. Need advice on job offer

    noahsmama replied to CKS's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the advice you've already been given -- don't burn bridges, and don't give your future employer any more info about why you're leaving your current job unless they ask you directly....

  20. Nursing School Question. Please Help.

    noahsmama replied to FutureRN618's topic in General Nursing

    Another thing to find out from whichever ABSN programs you're thinking of applying to is, which if any prerequisites can be met by taking a challenge exam as opposed to actually taking a course. The...

  21. Has anyone really broke down the numbers?

    noahsmama replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    At the unionized peds hospital in CA where I worked, the max ratio was 4:1 on the acute floors, 3:1 in the PICU and 2:1 in the NICU. Critical care nurses were floated first to other critical care...

  22. Waiting for NCLEX-RN Results in CA

    noahsmama replied to fireline's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm also in the Bay Area, and there was also a delay in my results because I took the NCLEX so soon after graduation that the BRN didn't have my transcripts yet. Have you searched for your name in the...

  23. Floating related to age

    noahsmama replied to SandraCVRN's topic in General Nursing

    At the hospital I used to work at, nurses with 20+ years of seniority did not have to work weekends. They did have to float, but I would have been ok with them not floating either. I agree with others...

  25. Quick question re: thank you cards

    noahsmama replied to StillSeeking's topic in General Nursing

    Worth knowing. I've always been a bit skeptical that thank you cards would make a difference, but sounds like in your case it did. Next time I'm job hunting, I'll do the thank you card thing for...
