  2. How does a new grad get into community health?

    emptyboxcars posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have done some preliminary internet searches and found a few local agencies that do this, but I am having difficulty tapping into this area. I love the idea of community health, home health, detox...

  3. Is it any fun working in a doctors office as an RN? Or something along those lines

    emptyboxcars replied to wnb4's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I know this is an old thread, but please tell me more about working in community health. This is an area I am very interested in as a new grad, but I have no idea how to crack into this

  4. Where does one find a job in addictions nursing?

    emptyboxcars replied to MomRN0913's topic in Addictions

    And do addiction clinics hire new grads? I am also interested in this line of work. I did an observation day on the Detox Unit at the hospital and *loved* it. I really enjoyed the teaching and...

  5. Graduating RN to seek FNP....

    emptyboxcars posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I will be graduating soon and I'm wondering what kind of RN experience is preferred as a background for becoming an FNP.

  6. Whose responsibility is it to discuss expectations of the nurse aide?

    emptyboxcars posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a student who will be interviewing soon for a nursing position. In order to correctly compile my answer to a potential interview question, I'm wondering if you could answer this for me. If I...

  7. Tell me more about psychiatric nursing...

    emptyboxcars posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I will be starting my psychiatric nursing rotation next semester. I have *always* been fascinated by psychology and how people "tick." I am constantly assessing everyone around me to understand...

  8. Anyone work in HH as new grad and do just fine?

    emptyboxcars posted a topic in Home Health

    I see opinions split on whether a new grad should go straight to home health. I can definitely see a point to both sides of the argument. However, out of curiosity, who out there started in HH as a...

  9. What area of nursing works well for a mom?

    emptyboxcars posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a stay at home mom who will be graduating from nursing school soon. My husband works the standard M-F hours. I am trying to decide what area of nursing is conducive to being there for my kids...

  10. What area of nursing works well for a mom?

    emptyboxcars replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for this. This is exactly where I'm coming from. I'm way too old to have an attitude of entitlement. I've been around the block a few times and know enough to not feel this way coming out...

  11. What area of nursing works well for a mom?

    emptyboxcars replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. I've always loved the analytical side of nursing. Can you tell me more about this position and what it entails? Thanks for

  12. What area of nursing works well for a mom?

    emptyboxcars replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Nursing

    I already get this...that's why I'm trying to find out about the career avenues that are out there before applying to positions. As a *new grad* I also am ignorant about the many areas of nursing...

  13. What area of nursing works well for a mom?

    emptyboxcars replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the responses. The hospitals in my area offer 12 hr shifts as far as I can tell (except for OR). I have found that the mental health hospitals in my area do offer 8 hr shifts. Mental...

  14. Tell me more about psychiatric nursing...

    emptyboxcars replied to emptyboxcars's topic in Psychiatric

    Thank you for all of the great advice! Albeit, I must say some of you have made me a little fearful! LOL. I think geropsychology sounds like a good possibility for me. It's been wonderful hearing...

  15. Sick with fever....keep interview or reschedule?

    emptyboxcars posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What is considered professional in this case? I'm considering calling and leaving it up to the company...that is, do you want to keep the interview or reschedule? Is this kosher or will this ruin my...

  16. Sick with fever....keep interview or reschedule?

    emptyboxcars replied to emptyboxcars's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    All right. I've decided to keep the interview time. Thanks for the

  17. Sick with fever....keep interview or reschedule?

    emptyboxcars replied to emptyboxcars's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, the 4-hour time frame is why I'm a little concerned about my performance. Even then, I'm tempted to *try* to push through it. If the interview was an hour or so, I'd most definitely suck it up...

  18. If my goal is Home Health, where should I do preceptorship?

    emptyboxcars posted a topic in Home Health

    I would like to pursue a career in Home Health. However, most institutions require 1-2 years of experience prior to working in this field (HH). For preceptorship, I may choose to work in the ICU...

  19. Silly question about lab numbers?

    emptyboxcars posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There seems to be no standard for normal lab ranges from book to book, hospital to hospital, except for INR, as far as I can tell. So my question is this: which resource do I use to study for the...

  20. If my goal is Home Health, where should I do preceptorship?

    emptyboxcars replied to emptyboxcars's topic in Home Health

    One more question...if the choice were between telemetry and med-surg, is one better than the other in terms of HH (VNA) being the goal? I really enjoyed the telemetry rotation and it seemed to me...

  21. Oh, where to precept? For that matter, which career?

    emptyboxcars posted a topic in Nursing Career

    So I am one of those people who went into nursing school based on the idea of holistic care only to be rudely awakened by the busy-ness on the hospital units, realizing that there is barely time for...

  22. Oh, where to precept? For that matter, which career?

    emptyboxcars replied to emptyboxcars's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks so much for the feedback! If I do go the Home Health route, where do you suggest I do my preceptorship? Also, I *love* the idea getting a job in a nursing home/assisted living facility to get...

  23. How should I proceed as a new grad?

    emptyboxcars posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    So I've always dreamed of being a nurse in the kind of position that allows me to treat my patients holistically and individually. I have a desire to provide ongoing care to patients, and prefer that...

  24. How should I proceed as a new grad?

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

    Yes, I know! LOL. I must say that before I started school, I had envisioned myself doing something completely different than what I'm beginning to think a new grad should do! It's extremely...
