  1. Husband doesn't understand... advice?

    thinwildmercury replied to LVHI_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why is the choice between you making your kids dinner or your kids starving though? Is your husband incapable of feeding his own children? I think that is what the poster

    thinwildmercury replied to hibiscusRN's topic in California Nursing

    The HR lady I spoke to said she'd send the email Monday because they didn't have all the details sorted out. I am dying to know more! All she said was it would be an "all-day event" from 830-5 I...

  6. Interview Question = "Tell me a time when you made a decision under pressure?"

    thinwildmercury replied to Matt10:1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi Matt, I'm trying to get some ideas on how to answer questions like this myself :0 One thing I would like to add is it does not have to be healthcare related. If you have ever had a job before, you...

  7. Second job after graduating, keep it to one page?

    thinwildmercury replied to CosmicHymns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would leave off clinicals after you get you first job. If you precepted at that hospital, you could mention it in your cover letter and talk about what a great experience you had there

    thinwildmercury replied to marcjuico's topic in California Nursing

    Wow, that is crazy! You might want to google "California Labor Laws" and a government website opens up with all the laws. Can be kinda hard to navigate though cause our profession falls into a lot of...

  10. NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

    thinwildmercury replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  11. NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

    thinwildmercury replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have never heard of the good pop-up being false and haven't heard of anyone who has heard that either. Pretty sure it's 100% accurate if you get the good pop-up. However, if you don't get it, it...

  13. First Nursing Job

    thinwildmercury replied to mikkie1317's topic in California Nursing

    Wow, that is absurd! I have never heard of a five year contract :0 I understand their investment but a hospital should not want to retain a nurse who is unhappy being there! Lol Definitely ask what...

  14. UC Davis RN Residency July 2014 (Summer)

    thinwildmercury replied to yayrn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I heard people who precepted on burns got calls already. Which stinks cause that's where I precepted and I haven't heard anything. Good luck everyone!! We'll all find the perfect jobs for us...

  15. UC Davis RN Residency July 2014 (Summer)

    thinwildmercury replied to yayrn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am on pins and needles here! I might have a job offer at a SNF coming up but for UC Davis you can't have had any RN experience so I don't think I will take it. At the same time, UCD is a long shot...

    thinwildmercury replied to cmurra6745's topic in California Nursing

    My bf is from trabuco canyon so I've been looking in the area. CA is saturated with new grads and many hospitals are BSN only. I, too would advise against moving here unless absolutely necessary. A...

  20. UCSD 2014 Summer New Grad Applicants

    thinwildmercury replied to HappyFoodie12's topic in California Nursing

    I applied for almost all of the positions... I did an externship in ICU and preceptorship in step-down so I don't know where my best chances are. I applied for BMT, IMU, two ED positions, 3 med-surg,...

    thinwildmercury replied to Butters111's topic in California Nursing

    thinwildmercury replied to Butters111's topic in California Nursing

    thinwildmercury replied to dalsor's topic in California Nursing

    I have never heard of getting time and a half after eight hours unless you're working eight hour shifts! That's crazy!

    thinwildmercury replied to BundokSaint's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I gave some spa stuff (bath salts, lotion, etc.) to one and a Starbucks gift card to the other. I was going to buy one of them a Klean Kanteen like mine that she admired but didn't have the
