    wifeandmomoftwo replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    wifeandmomoftwo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad LPN (just licensed last week). I've delivered my resumes to most of the places within 20 minutes of my house that hire LPN's. Is it OK to mail resumes to the facilities that I would...

  4. Mailing resumes instead of taking them personally?

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't be too far for me to drive if I knew there was an opening or even the remote possibility of a position. However, right now we have a very limited income and I can't keep driving all over...

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to fezzin's topic in General Nursing

    wifeandmomoftwo posted a topic in General Nursing

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

  13. Do you cry a lot in nursing school?

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I sure did. I (like some of the others mentioned) cry out of frustration. There were some times when it felt like even my best wasn't good enough. I would feel frustrated and then the tears would...

  17. Is it ok to call and ask?

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't want to be annoying. I'm afraid they'll think like you and want me to wait. Our funds are running low and it may be another month before I have license in hand. Also, considering...

  23. I am an American.

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is nuts! Did this doc think that when he got here his American colleagues would just magically transform and behave like the women from his native country?
