  1. I don't care if a candidate asks me what the pay range/rate is for a position, do you? I don't understand why, as professionals, talking money is seemingly out of bounds. I am interested to know your...
  2. Nursing Shortage

    See this is what bothers me about people saying they cannot get a job as a new grad. When often they mean they cannot get a job as a new RN grad doing what they want to do. PEOPLE... The much talked...
  3. i am sorry i don't understand what you mean by "the college is accredited". this monroe college is not nlnac accredited nor has it applied. it doesn't mean you cannot take your boards and get a...
  4. Sometimes I feel so old (as a 2nd degree nurse)

    omg i so feel your pain. i actually mentioned to a younger nurse that when she bent down you could see her bum crack. she could have cared less. of course next time i did it in a more official way...
  5. Need Advice on Proctored Question

    I think this question is a bit much for someone who is applying for
  6. I just checked and this college of yours doesn't even appear to be on the NLNAC candidacy list (last published Dec 2008). I find this odd. No I did not and would not have gone to a school that wasn't...
  7. I really think you are ill-advised if you do this. We had a college where I am that did this and quite a few had trouble with employment initially. The college was quite misleading about the...
  8. Hey all, I work somewhere where cell phones are forbidden and I am OK with that. We have pagers if necessary, a phone in every room and if you are on nights or have a large area to cover you are...
  9. A very trivial question about hair!

    Go with a natural color. I know this may be contentious for some to read but many nurses bemoan how we are not treated/considered/portrayed as professionals. Yet I see precious few doctors, engineers...
  10. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

    Flesh colored undies. I would go for the boy shorts versus a thong (especially if you are unlucky and get soaked). White tank or t-shirt
  11. Nurses that are late for report

    I loved what someone posted...about these nurses being the same number of minutes late each time. So true. It really is like they are giving everyone the
  12. in need of advice after getting fired

    Hmmm...If indeed you are bipolar I am going to suggest to you that you need to consider what situations you work in. In some ways, working in a psych unit, you may consider yourself uniquely...
  13. Threatened to be Fired for "patient safety" issues.

    I did not read all of the responses but hopefully someone has mentioned that the initial interview questions and comments were a huge red flag. I so wish nursing schools would train people on how to...
  14. Nurses that are late for report

    I can tell you that at my hospital a poor work ethic DOES affect a
  15. Nurses that are late for report

    Wow! I have noticed that, more than once, you extrapolated the behavior of two nurses at your facility to cover all hospitals in the USA. Such a pity. Do you realize you sound racist? What exactly...
  16. Was this ethical?

    That is quite an inaccurate statement. Scary
  17. Is there any area you simply won't work in? e.g. a
  18. Racist Patients

    So funny I nearly did that once. I will tell you that when you work in an ED half of the still drinking alcoholics will recognize you because they attended a meeting once or twice (or you did a 12...
  19. Racist Patients

    I would have loved to say try a different
  20. Racist Patients

    They obviously haven't learned that those for whom English is a second language can speak it better than the native
  21. Monthly Nurse magazines?

    Read them in your school
  22. That is really unprofessional of them. I agree with the poster that said she wouldn't want to work somewhere where they behave that
  23. Wrongful termination? Age discrimination?

    To the OP: In the role of Devil's Advocate.... You were on the infection control team weren't you? You knew what would be required of you but did not meet the objective. Twice you admitted to...
  24. Vent: Embarrassed during change of shift.

    Wouldn't it be nice if just once and a while we could take the gloves off and kick someone's butt Texas style (I worked with a Texan once and she did not take any of this sort of crap lying down -- I...
  25. Frustrations with Clinical

    I do not imagine that you have the basic skills together at all. Sorry dear. But there is a reason you are repeating this course. Yet it sounds a bit like you are too skilled for it (in your...
