  1. Who is applying for the February Christiana Care internships???

    chicklet74 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just thought this would be a good place to compare notes. I just sent my application packet back for the Critical Care internship program starting in February 2012. I missed the last application...

  2. If you think you need to call the MD, CALL THE MD!!!!

    chicklet74 replied to wooh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that since I'm the one assessing the patient I'll decide what's inconsequential and what isn't. I doubt this NP is scheduled to be on call without being paid for it and the amount of rest she...

  3. If you think you need to call the MD, CALL THE MD!!!!

    chicklet74 replied to wooh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "If it isn't emergent, I do not want to be called until 8am. I really resent middle of the night calls over inconsequential issues." Then perhaps you should have been a banker rather than a healthcare...

    chicklet74 replied to chicklet74's topic in General Nursing

  6. Who is applying for the February Christiana Care internships???

    chicklet74 replied to chicklet74's topic in General Nursing

    The interview went really well I think. I flubbed the clinical question a little but I'm choosing to not be upset about that:). They had 196 applicants, interviewed 25 and are hiring between 6 and 10...

  9. What should my next step be??

    chicklet74 posted a topic in General Nursing

  11. May Graduate--Applying for jobs

    chicklet74 replied to sj73201's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd be pretty annoyed if I were passed over for a position because they were "holding" a spot for someone who isn't even guaranteed to be licensed. That's just my

  12. Question/Gripe about salary/shift diff

    chicklet74 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Someone tell me I'm being stupid. I graduated in May and had a hard time (Like everyone) finding a job. About a month ago, I have an interview at a womens correctional facility in my state. The...

    chicklet74 replied to nicenurselpn's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  15. Just got hired and heard that Zoloft can come up as a Benzo on drug test?

    chicklet74 replied to sweetnlow4's topic in General Nursing

    Not listing something you take because you don't want to not be offered the job is dishonest. Its no different than lying on an

  16. Question/Gripe about salary/shift diff

    chicklet74 replied to chicklet74's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So I did what someone here suggested and called them out on it. I was given the shift diff. However I've been working fir a few weeks now and just completed training. My trainer was awful. Just a...

  17. Weird question about interview (re:overweight/ not needing insurance)

    chicklet74 replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would not mention weight at all. It's none of their business. If you can provide the same positive references as anyone else, you qualify as much as anyone else. Using your weight as a reason not to...

  18. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    chicklet74 replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    chicklet74 replied to Valasca's topic in General Students

    chicklet74 replied to FLmomof5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
