    Low Ball The New Grad

    itsnowornever replied to guest042302019's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ENPC

    itsnowornever replied to karlenepatrick's topic in Emergency

    I took it a month or so ago as an L&D nurse looking for an ER position- and it wasn't too bad. Read the book, know the algorithm and make sure you can talk yourself through the "why" of what...

    Should hospital provide and launder scrubs?

    itsnowornever replied to Kitty Carlisle's topic in Emergency

    I don't think they stand a chance at what they are aiming at- but they CAN win with the reimbursement of cost or the hospital supplying uniforms. That's been don't before and awarded with a yearly...

    Why do some nurses use their titles as a big ego boost?

    itsnowornever replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because I'm darn proud of my BSN and when I finish my masters, better believe I'll add that also. Why shouldn't/won't I!? Posting from my phone, ease forgive my fat thumbs!

    itsnowornever replied to RyleeMendez's topic in General Students

    It hurts. In so sorry. Schools teaches you the "savior" mentality and prepares you to be this knight in shining armor saving everyone one foley and IV at a time, unfortunately they don't prepare you...

    Rude Coworkers

    itsnowornever replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Anonymity will never get anything done. Time to be a big girl and go to the manager. Make sure the other PCAs are willing to back you up. Get statements in writing with their names. Start writing...

    Should hospital provide and launder scrubs?

    itsnowornever replied to Kitty Carlisle's topic in Emergency

    We just started this in nursery and L&D- and I hate it! We have no locker rooms (lockers are stashed in a hallway out of pt site), so we have to change in the bathroom (yuck) and its a private...

    WGU writes: RN-BSN in 6 months is a rumor, not do-able

    itsnowornever replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I know what you're talking about. I'm simply stating that I can see where the school would make that statement. If only 2 people in 5 years have completed an MSN in 6mo, i wouldn't be surprised to...

    Cedars-Sinai New Grad Summer 2013

    itsnowornever replied to SandyMickey's topic in California Nursing

    I have a classmate who was accepted into lay years group- she admitted she had a 3.2 GPA (pretty bad I think) and that her mother works there and spoke to HR often. If you don't get accepted- good...

    Advice please!

    itsnowornever replied to deida's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why would the nursing department secretary tie herself up by giving you a definitive answer? Too litigious of a society for that. If you are truly interested, go to the orientation then speak with an...
