  1. Clinical Questions on Interviews!!! What were yours?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Visuals's topic in General Nursing

    I have been on three. Two asked no clinical questions, just the other interview kind. One job gave me a written test before my interview and it was an urgent care center. They asked about a lot of the...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to d'cm's topic in Case Management

    Hi, I don't know anything about this, but I am interested in learning more about this. How do they appeal? Can they say that "I am not ready because of x,y,z" and a different committee including or...

  3. Does it seem like EVERYONE is trying to be a nurse?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to mrs.tt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't actually have statistics, and this varies across the country, but if you visit the websites for hospitals (not monster, careerbuilder, etc) you will see. At first someone may select the...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. Should I take a non-nursing position?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good luck to you Anne. It looks like you have been out of school even longer than me. Although this will not get you your "real" nursing experience, and it may be too late in the season, if you need a...

  9. Nursing JOB shortage in Maryland!

    MissBrittanyRN replied to CASTLEGATES's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Castlegates, I am sure it depends on the area. In my situation, I learned from the mistake that I made. I worked as a tech with an excellent employment record from a hospital. I assumed that I would...

  10. want to get a NICU job...tips during nursing school?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This is true. I know a NICU secretary who knows so much about the procedures and what types of tests are indicated for particular dx, etc. This is because she always has her nose in the chart and is...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to NewTexasRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Something else that may be helpful: Many RNs do not want tech positions after graduating, but it's a foot in the door if your interested. Many states do not allow RNs to work as CNAs, but in some...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to NewTexasRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This does not get us the nursing experience that we will need, but I am doing employee flu shots and nasal mist with a hospital for now. It's a paycheck and something that I can put down on a resume,...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am not a NICU nurse, but a new grad, so here are my suggestions: If your school offers any shadow experience or practicum, of course you want to try to do yours in the NICU. Most schools from my...

  16. Am I a backstabber or just a concerned co-worker?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree that insecure nurses try to make themselves look better by pointing out petty things. I think that a nurse who points out unsafe behavior is demonstrating leadership skills. True that she is...

  17. Am I a backstabber or just a concerned co-worker?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I understand either side to this. On one hand she could hurt someone with her irresponsibility, but only if she's taking assignments, which she is not. I am personally concerned with the abilities of...

  20. CNA vs Medical Assistant

    MissBrittanyRN replied to smellyacres's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is just a personal opinion, as I have come across many job advertisements while looking for work lately. Most of the positions that I consider to be "exciting" require CNA certification. While I...

  21. Should I take a non-nursing position?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks! It's a cardiovascular stepdown unit in a hospital. L&D is my passion, but I am very interested in cardiac too. Although it's not absolutely necessary, I want to have a little experience...

  22. Should I take a non-nursing position?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, that's terrible. I am not sure what region and specialty your friend works in, but that does seem to be very low pay for a CNA. I made 12.77 in labor and delivery, and I thoroughly enjoyed my...

  23. Questions About Shadowing a CNA

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Dream Girl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
