  1. Neonatal NP advice

    laynaER replied to NICU1209's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Why don't you start out in pediatrics, pediatric i.c.u, labor & delivery, or newborn nursery? Those are great paths to head down if you want to be a NICU nurse! Labor & Delivery, newborn...

  2. National RN license vs State issued licensed

    laynaER posted a topic in General Nursing

    I think we should have a license to practice in all 50 states. I think it's quite silly for it to be issued by state. The licensing exam we take is national, the license we receive should be. It's way...

  3. I feel like nursing is not my thing...

    laynaER replied to neeke816's topic in General Nursing

    It's okay we all have those days and your mistakes weren't life threatening. Use it as a learning experience. Don't be so quick to quit or say it's not for you only because of one bad shift. I'm...

    laynaER posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  5. very interested in moving to NYC and have tons of questions

    laynaER replied to boston HD's topic in New York Nursing

    You're chances of finding employment are probably a lot better than a new grad with no experience. The job market here is tough overall. There simply isn't enough jobs to go around and employers are...

  6. Need advice on how to respond to a manager after interview

    laynaER replied to Nadz02RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Crunch is right, they give people false reassurances all of the time. I guess it eliminates an awkward moment of saying "thanks for this interview but I'm not sure about you as a candidate". It's much...

  7. 1st job-advice please!

    laynaER posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi guys, I don't post much on here but I really need advice from fellow nurses. I started my first job as an RN a couple months ago in an LTC setting and while I think I'm doing pretty good job, I...

  8. 1st job-advice please!

    laynaER replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    Many times I have said the same to myself, but with the job market the way it is, I should be kissing the floor & thankful that I have a job, especially as a new grad. Thanks for response

  9. Mount Sinai.....Getting a foot in the door

    laynaER replied to herowneulogy's topic in New York Nursing

    People need to keep in mind that it is all about who you know. If you don't know anyone at Mt Sinai to help you get in, chances are slim. Recruiters do not call you back. I was given an interview at...

    laynaER replied to rnintwo's topic in New York Nursing

    Nursing homes are going to make you work weekends. As a new grad, you don't really have the luxury of being picky since there are no jobs as it is out here. The ones with hours like you mentioned are...

  13. Anyone else going to the Nursing Career Fair at Jacob Javits on 10/21?

    laynaER replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in New York Nursing

    I went to the same career fair a year ago, and it really was a waste of time. Like the others said, a lot of the exhibitors show up only to tell you to go online and apply. Others shoo you away once...

  14. SICK OF BEING A LPN

    laynaER replied to litebrightgirl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hate to break it to ya, but RNs go through the same exact thing you're venting about. Having the letters RN after your name doesn't magically give you all of the respect you think you deserve. *sigh*...

  15. New grads can't get jobs afraid of becoming an old new grad.

    laynaER replied to sunspotmia's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone else. Seriously, I know where you're coming from and you may not want to hear this but there are people who are in worst situations. Some have been looking for 1 yr to 18 months...

  19. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    laynaER replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News

    I think part of the problem is, is that people are often friends on facebook with people who are NOT their friends. In order for your employer to take disciplinary action for something you wrote on...

    laynaER replied to AccelCNL's topic in New York Nursing

    Sorry, I beg to differ. Those of us who graduated, did not get by just because we were liked and professors passed us only because they wanted to pass us. They passed us because we earned passing...

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    You must've read my post incorrectly because I wasn't referencing you. I was referencing the two other people and the way in which in they spoke to me. If you misunderstood me, then my

  25. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not whining. I said they offered me $20/hr and I didn't take it. Two other people decided to jump on my back and berate me for not taking it. I defended myself. That's all I did. I never not once...
