  1. Dispel a rumor OR validate a truth...

    neonatal_nurse replied to gapelaez's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree with the first post. It is a VERY competitive world these days, especially in this field. There are like a million or so new graduates every few months around the world! And all of them want a...

  2. Am i too old to start aiming for a nursing career

    neonatal_nurse replied to rompril's topic in General Nursing

    There is no such thing as being too old to do something these days. Just be prepared for the challenges because you have a long, hard road ahead. Family and friends' support would be a great help too....

  3. how can I find a job in nursing speciality areas?

    neonatal_nurse replied to cymphilly's topic in General Nursing

    You can work in special areas by applying in any hospital. Most (if i'm not mistaken or depends upon their policies) let you choose the area you want to be assigned in (but it isn't guaranteed that...

  4. Spoke with a nurse recruiter today

    neonatal_nurse replied to Lovely_RN's topic in New York Nursing

    OMG! Yes, this is the real world after all. Sad, sad reality. But don't be discouraged. You can still submit yours. Just be concise-- one page resume is better. Everything should be there, just leave...

  5. Need Advice about Pediatric Nursing

    neonatal_nurse replied to Hozgur's topic in Pediatric

    It depends on which area of peds you will be assigned. On a general peds ward, it's basically the same as the adults but on peds setting- so everything (meds, procedures etc.) is catered to kids- you...

  6. Failed NCLEX three times

    neonatal_nurse replied to MizShibz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Please read my other posts on the "real secret" of passing NCLEX-RN exams. Good

  7. Do you need a BSN for NICU

    neonatal_nurse replied to SashaO's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    BSN would help you a great deal.

  8. High Census Question

    neonatal_nurse replied to Eyeknit's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    wow! OMG! toxic days are here! high census definitely more overtime for everyone. if the unit is understaffed we pull-out nurses from the other units- nicu (another unit), peds, picu, etc. and they...

  9. I need help!!!

    neonatal_nurse replied to LSU nursing student's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    it's normal to feel this way. when i first started nursing school, i have no idea what to expect. but then, time flies and you learn to cope with things. which course are you failing? it would be...

  10. I've gotta figure out a way to lose weight while in nursing school

    neonatal_nurse replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    eat less and do more. have healthier choices in food- gradually, and exercise everyday. more muscle mass means more fat-burning so shape

  11. Staffing in a level III NICU

    neonatal_nurse replied to grinbyrd2's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    our staffing is based on how "toxic" our unit is for the day. of course we have the official on duty nurses for the day, but if more patients are being admitted someone definitely has to do overtime,...

  14. newborn assesment

    neonatal_nurse replied to verock's topic in Ob/Gyn

    you should've asked a senior nurse or asked a doctor to take a look if you're not sure about something so that it could be properly assessed. you can't really go back and "insert" your assessment at...

  15. No Reference Letters for Interview

    neonatal_nurse replied to myrooskigurl's topic in General Nursing

    the lesson of this story is to build good relationships with the people around you, not only a working one, maybe try to know people on a more personal level. believe me, it really helps. no man is an...

  16. another victim of nclex waiting...

    neonatal_nurse replied to low_k3y's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    sorry about that. but you know, i think you should review first before re-applying. master your test taking skills first. it takes a while- and thousands of questions. you can view my other posts...

  17. First A&P Test......Bombed It.....How did you keep your spirits up?

    neonatal_nurse replied to Duice88's topic in General Students

    It's okay. I've been there. And there's always chocolate. You should understand things rather than memorize them because when you already graduate, most of the stuff you memorized will be gone....

  18. What to do now

    neonatal_nurse replied to kachowell's topic in General Students

    I think rather than asking us, YOU should ask yourself what YOU really want to do. Volunteer work is good and yes would look good in a resume, but it's not the main reason that you'll be getting the...

  19. You know that you are dating/married to a nurse

    neonatal_nurse replied to mydee's topic in Nursing Humor

    cute LOL! I guess it just goes to show how nurses really care for our loved ones. I mean REALLY! But it's never annoying. It's funny and sweet.

  20. How would an employer view me?

    neonatal_nurse replied to xXCaribbeanDiamondXx's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey welcome to allnurses! :) It's okay not to have experience when starting. Somebody has to start somewhere right? Employers consider not only experience but attitude and work ethic as well. So keep...

  21. New nurse - wrong specialty- very panicked

    neonatal_nurse replied to ringtail RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with sunny. It's sooo freakin hard to get a job these days. Just stick it out for a while, sometimes things just need a little getting used to. You can change areas once you become regular- if...

  22. What did you wear to your first interview?

    neonatal_nurse replied to awhisler's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just wear proper business attire, standard interview clothes. I would advise you to wear a skirt if you're a girl and maybe a long-sleeved polo shirt and trousers if you're a guy (tie is optional)....

  23. Any opinions on Welch Allyn Professional Stethoscopes?

    neonatal_nurse replied to j_tay1981's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think any brand is fine. Just as long as it's in good working condition. When I was a student my classmates bought Littman (which is expensive). I just used a generic, no brand stethoscope. It...

  24. Nursing Student Networking

    neonatal_nurse replied to KMC-RN-BSN-710's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I think you shouldn't worry much about this yet, at least not until you graduate. With your experience as a CNA, and your attitude I'm sure not going to have a hard time finding a job. The networking...

  25. Cliques in Nursing School

    neonatal_nurse replied to KMC-RN-BSN-710's topic in General Students

    I totally agree with the first post. If you did your part and these girls are still not nice to you, well it's their loss. Maybe you just need to find different people to befriend- definitely should...
