  1. Interview discrimination?

    RNmom7 posted a topic in School

    I know that know one can actually give me legal advice, but I just want to know if I should take this farther, so it doesn't happen to someone else or let it go. My child will be attending a new...

  2. Interview discrimination?

    RNmom7 replied to RNmom7's topic in School

    Thank you, I think I've let emotions run away with me. Our family has been in crisis for 5 years and I'm seeing small glimmers of hope. I just need to take it slowly. The right job will come at the...

  3. Interview discrimination?

    RNmom7 replied to RNmom7's topic in School

    No, it's a private school. I get that it could be their policy, but in less than 24 hours they put a "hold" on hiring for the position, but updated in their career opportunities as an available...

  4. Do you have an OB in the hospital 24/7?

    RNmom7 replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am from the Midwest and the facility I work at is just as you have described. It is scary, but also has made me a stronger nurse, IMHO. As previously mentioned, when a crisis occurs all hospital...

  5. L&D not for me?

    RNmom7 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Like many of you here, becoming a labor nurse is my dream job. For me it became a reality approximately 6 months ago at a rural facility, which averages around 240 deliveries annually. Lately, since...

  6. "true knot"

    RNmom7 replied to LouisVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. How Can I Get Acclimated to the Midnight Shift?

    RNmom7 replied to iluvdetroit's topic in General Nursing

    I will be starting NOCs myself tomorrow, but I have younger children, so not being a day person on my days off is really not an option. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to adjust to...

  10. Any other new grads concerned about finding a job??

    RNmom7 replied to TeleNurse2010's topic in General Nursing

    Well my experience, having recently graduated, is around $20/hr base pay for new grads. You do get shift differentials, but many hospitals are no longer offering bonuses or loan repayment for new...

  15. Interview next week...need advice

    RNmom7 replied to RNmom7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The interview went really well; however, this job is in another state so I'm applying for licensure by endorsement and I'm afraid by the time I get a temporary license it will be too late. The...

    RNmom7 replied to RNmom7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I received an e-mail today from nurse recruiter saying she spoke with the NM and to give her a call at my earliest convenience tomorrow. I hope this is an encouraging sign. I too have toddlers and...

  17. Should I stay or should i go?

    RNmom7 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've completed 3 weeks orientation on my new job in acute medical re-hab. All is going well so far. I'm on a very supportive floor with a great preceptor. I work days and they have on-sight childcare,...

  19. SWIC

    RNmom7 replied to KJNIllinois's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Another vote for choosing an accelerated program. It will be hell and you will have no life outside of nursing school, but it is only a year. If you are dedicated and focused it may be a better option...

  20. Interview next week...need advice

    RNmom7 replied to RNmom7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    RNmom7 replied to Marie97's topic in General Nursing

    JustDeena, I was a single mom and attended GSON and had a baby while attending too. I chose not to work for the same reasons you stated. Big mistake. Get in there asap as a tech then when you start NS...

  23. Barnes Jewish college question

    RNmom7 replied to Marie97's topic in General Nursing

    saymo82, I must disagree with you. There are inferior instructors at GSON. The program (upper division w/e classes) focuses on getting students to pass NCLEX, not preparation for nursing. In my cohort...

  24. Interview next week...need advice

    RNmom7 replied to RNmom7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This was the 2nd interview I had been on and I was nervous. It's really all a blur now, but I felt I "ummmmed" my way through the whole thing, despite the fact I prepared questions. They asked me some...
