  1. Taking notes during an interview

    canigraduate replied to cbebes's topic in General Nursing

    Whuh? What kind of hiring do you do that you don't want to talk to people? That's just weird to me. I always get contact info so I can follow up with Thank Yous and in case HR screws up. Frankly, I...

  2. should I stay or should I go?

    canigraduate replied to Nurseynurse369's topic in General Nursing

    It really boils down to what you can tolerate. I personally would change jobs for the raise. It gives your administration the message that they need to keep up on the wage front to keep their staff....

  3. Bad Nurse or Nursing Politics? SO CONFUSED!!!

    canigraduate replied to gemmi999's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm confused. Were you hired for ER or ICU? It sounds like you have too many people that you report to. My advice is to go by whatever your direct supervisor

  4. Taking notes during an interview

    canigraduate replied to cbebes's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! This makes it sound like someone is writing pages of material. Jotting down a few essentials doesn't take very long. That's what I mean by "notes." You know, not taking dictation, but writing...

  5. Lose your license for administering a PRN med without a pain scale?

    canigraduate replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing judgment is still nursing judgment. Tell your managers that they need to take it up with the providers if they don't like the orders. They're just being pusses and trying to get you to do...

  6. Psych/ Anxiety

    canigraduate replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I can't imaging having to navigate the US as a teen now. It was hard enough before social media. I hate that kids have such a hard time these days. And the people who care for them. I am so sorry,...

  7. missing clonazepam set up please help asap

    canigraduate replied to Nurses-give's topic in General Nursing

    Y'all are going to get deleted again. Poking bears is kinda fun,

  8. Vent about toiletting patients

    canigraduate replied to SleeepyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I've worked at places with that rule. It's really made because managers don't want to confront the two or three people, usually CNAs, who ignore call lights. I was stopped once for passing a...

  9. Considering Graduation Rates?

    canigraduate replied to rom12345's topic in School, College Programs

    Why is this bugging you? Are you struggling? You have a 50-50 chance to succeed. I'd focus on that. That's better odds than some other schools. You could also talk to the Dean to find out what...

  10. Carolinas Medical Center (CMC) New Grad Applications?

    canigraduate replied to mf1211's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    As the previous poster said, CMC is part of Carolinas Health System. Go on their website and look for the new grad posting in the career section. If it's there, apply for it. If it isn't, then you're...

  11. Taking notes during an interview

    canigraduate replied to cbebes's topic in General Nursing

    Augmenting memory and short term memory problems are totally different. Otherwise students wouldn't need to take notes in class, either. I've had interviews last upwards of an hour. That's a lot of...

  12. Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    canigraduate replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm... what is wrong with you? I got as far as cold-hearted egoist and decided that whatever else you had to say was probably inflammatory and stupid. Man, I wish I had stopped

  13. Quality of Nursing Programs in Southern States

    canigraduate replied to ROCTJ's topic in General Students

    Oh, and Charlotte rocks. I lived outside of it for years. You'll love it. I know lots of people from New York, upstate and City, who transplanted and stayed. Cost of living is better, traffic is...

  14. Just wanna say HEY!

    canigraduate replied to shedevilprincss's topic in Emergency

    HO! Sorry, couldn't resist. Flashback to my younger days.

  15. Quality of Nursing Programs in Southern States

    canigraduate replied to ROCTJ's topic in General Students

    For Christ's sake. You know North Carolina is home to many EXCEPTIONAL schools. Not just high quality. Exceptional. Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, UNCC, Campbell, etc. Charlotte alone has many schools with...

  16. allegation

    canigraduate replied to Salebow's topic in General Nursing

    Also, just be aware that you are building a house of cards on something you thought might have gone wrong. Be prepared for anything and try not to get too worked up. Good call on the

  17. When did you find your calling?

    canigraduate replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to do peds 'cause sick kids break my heart. And my temper doesn't allow me to be around bad

  18. When did you find your calling?

    canigraduate replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    I "heard" my calling when I received the call from the HR recruiter saying "You have been offered this position." It sounded suspiciously like

  19. Pearson Vue Trick

    canigraduate replied to happymode's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That was dumb. Now you're even more freaked out. I wish the myth of the PVT would die. It doesn't even work reliably anymore. Relax, try to get some sleep, and wait the 48 hours. It's just a test. You...

  20. Taking notes during an interview

    canigraduate replied to cbebes's topic in General Nursing

    Totally disagree. It also gives me a reason to move, so I don't go all ADHD and be-bop and fidget because I'm nervous. There's nothing like being unable to sit still to embarrass the crap out of you...

  21. Taking notes during an interview

    canigraduate replied to cbebes's topic in General Nursing

    I always take notes. I always bring a list of questions and jot down the answers. No one's ever said anything negative about it and I've always gotten a job offer. Sometimes I'm interviewing at...

  22. Apple Watch - Why I Love It!

    canigraduate replied to traumaRUs's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ditto. I have a MacBook pro that I bought in 2006 that I love and still use. It's so old Apple stopped supporting the firmware, and it STILL works. I've wanted a watch since they first came out, but...

  23. #nursesforgive

    canigraduate replied to Nerd eNurse's topic in General Nursing

    memberes don't migrate. They have a firm attachment, so they get swallowed. I was with someone who lost thirty pounds and "gained" some length. My prudy face is flaming right

  24. I want to throat-punch my co-worker

    canigraduate replied to Annie Wilkes RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Man, I love Steven King. Pre-accident. Some of my creepiest nightmares come from his short stories, especially the ones where objects come to life. I always thought his movies turned out pretty good...

  25. Can this be put on the homepage or SOMETHING?!

    canigraduate replied to SubSippi's topic in General Nursing

    I posted it on my FB right after The View debacle for all my friends and family to sign. It's an internet petition, I don't think it CAN be made restrictive. It may not be very effective, being an...
