    Attention ER nurses and managers

    itsnowornever replied to RNReadyManc's topic in Emergency

    When she asked us that I was in shock. No, I know what they are, I've dealt with them and if you tossed me in a situation I could figure it out--I'm not dumb, I'm a new grad, and as such I can't say...

    Forget the nanny state

    itsnowornever replied to Just I's topic in General Nursing

    70 something apps and 50 something facilities- apply more. With 50 something facilities you could easily have 250 apps. Posting from my phone, ease forgive my fat thumbs!

    Attention ER nurses and managers

    itsnowornever replied to RNReadyManc's topic in Emergency

    Kid you not--had a NM ask at a meeting, "Who are new grads? Do you have patient experience?" Answer was "no" because at school we are taught that NO we don't, not in a true RN capacity--she then goes...

    itsnowornever replied to SirMiggy's topic in Nursing Career

    Awesome point. And I do mention past studies in interviews if its a diverse place--I figure it may set me apart, but I don't put it in my résumé. Studying nursing is a good strategy...I dunno. It's...

    Cover Letter??

    itsnowornever replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Capability is used twice in one paragraph, find another word. Your clinical didn't teach you anything (not that I agree with that statement, I believe clinical is crucial and some do learn A LOT, but...

    Cover Letter??

    itsnowornever replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The letter isn't about YOU. It's to tell them how YOU can be an asset to THEM-- example- I have a certification in STEMI care, so I would target my letter something like this "the certifications I...

    For those who didnt pass the nclex..

    itsnowornever replied to SirMiggy's topic in Nursing Career

    It's all murkey. Why would it be a problem to not list it? (Not being snarky) I've never had a background check show my education if so, I've lied a whole lot since I've never listed my first time...

    itsnowornever replied to vbniner's topic in General Nursing

    My husband works 4p-2a and I work varied shifts. Only solution we have is to work opposite days. Additionally he is national guard, so he is gone frequently. Posting from my phone, ease forgive my fat...

    But surely you could be gearing up for next term? Reading ahead, preparing? Perhaps that's why I was able to sleep at night? Pharm cards were prepared during breaks, I had research topics ready to go?...

    I will admit, I did NOT have "sleepless" nights and never understood why my classmates did--but it doesn't mean I didn't care. We had a million care plans to do, on top of the theory based papers and...

    itsnowornever replied to bonjournurse2b's topic in General Students

    No. If you we're a C- student they didn't change your GPA. UGH. that's what got a lot of us mad. And just to be clear- I wasn't the one to mention a law suit. Another poster said I should have talked...

    I can say the very same thing about the ASn Student in my ER and L&D when I was there. Both busy floors with plenty to do (and yes I was a BSN grad). They stand around talking or hiding in the...

    Listing license on resume

    itsnowornever replied to aknight07's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    HR is going to have the opportunity to steal your identity when you get the job anyway. As far as I know you can't trace your SS# from your license number, so I don't see the danger (if I'm wrong...
