    Graduating in 2 months : Is it too early to start applying for jobs?

    RNrhythm replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Apply now, especially for Patient Care Assistant positions. I live within easy commuting distance of a very prestigious and wealthy hospital that, I now know, almost never hires new grad RNs from...

    KINDRED HOSPITAL

    RNrhythm replied to lvn4me2011's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow! Which facility or type of facility? Kindred seems to be everywhere. What state, at least? I am very curious.

    Is going straight from nursing school to nurse supervisor a good career choice?

    RNrhythm replied to Theloving100's topic in General Nursing

    Contrary to what another poster suggested, this is not a joke. I had a similar opportunity. I am a new grad BSN with no nursing experience and I was hired to be the RN supervisor at a sub-acute...

    STUDY? HOW?!!!

    RNrhythm replied to kvn813's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really struggled with studying despite being a strong student in my previous field (language arts), plus I had been out of school for many years, too. I started paying attention to how I studied and...

    New Grad: ACLS but not PALS

    RNrhythm posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am a new grad looking for my first job. I have my BLS and ACLS but did not get PALS because I have no interesting in working in pediatrics. Now I think I should get PALS just for my resume....

    Do honors help gain a job

    RNrhythm replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I recently interviewed at a prestigious Los Angeles hospital that required a very specific portfolio, which included transcripts, and a cover page that included your GPA. Also, upon arrival, we...

    Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    RNrhythm replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    You are 17 years old. That explains a lot, and I do not mean that unkindly. You are legitimately lacking in life experience (no shame there) and subject to your parent's fears and concerns. Until...

    Are you really not a "real nurse" unless you work in acute care?

    RNrhythm replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

    I am a BSN new grad and a lot of my peers have career goals outside of acute care, such as school nursing and case management, so I don't think that most people see acute care as "real" nursing and...

    Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    RNrhythm replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That is not correct. We had plenty of male students, myself included, in L&D, plus doctors and one male nurse who worked there for years. Male OB nurses are rare but not unheard of. My L&D...
