  1. New Grad applicant walked on a unit today...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I put the effort into being balanced by acknowledging the NM had some serious stuff going on. .. still, unless the place is burning down, it doesn't quite get a pass--for the reasons I have already...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    And this is the shame and sadness of the caring, "profession" of nursing. My husband has been in top tier management for a long time. And he is pretty much all about strong work ethic and all about...

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Do you go out of your way to miss the relevant, however much, tangential points. This discussion and change. If you don't think we all, regardless of how stations, don't have something to learn, all...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I acknowledged that the mger could have been dealing with something serious. No. People do this kind of thing, and it can work, but you have go about it the right way. You need some inside...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I love your guts and attitude, so I will say that you MOST CERTAINLY will get there! It's a " pull yourself up by the bootstraps" climate right now, and honestly, after two decades in the field, I...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You are on the right track! Do NOT GIVE UP! I am assuming that you can't look for positions beyond your current geography? You have to take any decent work as a RN. I mean drug and alcohol rehab,...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, I bet the OP is going to get quite the mix of reviews on this one. See but in my roles, as long as it is not obnoxious, I like gonads in a person! The tide is going to turn. Be your best and...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Like I say BotoxBaby, seriously I applaud your effort and gonads. :) Try to do some reconnaissance work ahead of time. Never say

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I hear you. The general idea anymore, however, is to go through the "typical" channels. I applaud you for going out of your way. Regardless of her schedule, the NM did not have to treat you that...

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, but references are usually requested on an application. I keep a list of references with me, and besides the application, which, nowadays you usually complete ahead of time electronically, I...

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, but you can take that time reviewing things in your car, going to the BR. . . I think sitting in the office 30 minutes early makes people feel like they have to drop what they have scheduled on...

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Again, people can't get too fixated on such things. It could get in the way of their motivation and success. I don't see "bribery" as generally occurring in regular practice--especilly in nursing....

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's never official until you receive a written offer in the mail. I mean be pleasant and courteous when you get that call, but remember, it's not set until you receive the written offer. And even...

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Perhaps b/c many university benefits, such as email and library database access, are closed after graduation. I think what the person meant was that the managers don't have a lot of time and the...

  15. Have you ever lost it with a patient?

    Guest343211 replied to notjustanurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The demand was specifically for Doritos, eh? LOL Oh

  16. Have you ever lost it with a patient?

    Guest343211 replied to notjustanurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. Dude was probably angry over his illness--but still very wrong. Some folks have no idea how frustrating it can be to be a

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    OK, well, here's a dissertation, that is well worth reading, on the kind of violence in which I have been discussing. Russell (2012) discusses a theoretical model that helps to create healthier work...

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    ^ THIS. This is exactly the kind of thing I am talking about, and it is often truly about bullying and horizontal, or sometimes even vertical, violence. I have mentioned this before. The use of...

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Who has said anything about it being Teacher Sue's "fault?" The discussion and the tangential points have to do with understanding and growth for everyone. Let's not separate people out like that....

  20. Future Shortage in Bedside Nurses

    Guest343211 replied to westieluv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This will not become the rule, at least not any time soon. Truth is, if people struggle with academic Bio I, II, Chem I, II, Organic Chem I, II, and Physics I and II, they are going to have a...

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I hear what you are saying. The bullying thing is WAY more pervasive than people want to admit. Perhaps nurses and NMs just don't think there is a real solution to the problem. I don't know. I...

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Unfortunately this is often enough quite true. What's worse is the problem is denied or kicked under the rug, and nothing can ever change until people--primarily leadership--are willing to accept and...

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Agree!

  24. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The truth is, there is a relationship to this kind of "fitting in" mentality and how it is often used and horizontal and lateral violence. Often the reason people don't fit in is b/c the are...

  25. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I pretty much agree with all you say here with some exception to the "fitting in" part. The fitting in expression is overused. Frankly too much emphasis is placed on it. It's almost laughable to...
