  1. New grad - ? re: resumes. Is one cramped page better than 2 pages?

    HealerWoman posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just tried to tweak my resume before I sent it out to prospective employers. My question is: is it better to have one page that looks a little cramped (to me, anyway), or a 1-1/3 to 1-1/2 page...

  2. New Grad: How to you approach a potential employer who isn't advertising

    HealerWoman posted a topic in General Nursing

    for open positions? There is a hospital in my area where I really, really, REALLY want to work. It's a huge teaching hospital, and I actually have a B.A. from the university that it's affiliated...

  3. Physical Assessment

    HealerWoman replied to HappyCat0325's topic in General Students

    I graduate next week with my AAS in Nursing. We were all really nervous for our Critical Care assessments (not only a critically ill patient, but the hardest instructor I ever had was grading me.) So...

  4. For my resume: Am I an "RN Graduate" or "Graduate RN"?

    HealerWoman posted a topic in General Nursing

    I finish school next week (yippee!!!), and I'll take the boards in October. In the meantime, I'm applying for jobs as an RN. Do I put my name, then "Graduate RN", or "RN Graduate"? Or something...

  5. For my resume: Am I an "RN Graduate" or "Graduate RN"?

    HealerWoman replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, we were taught to list our degree on our resume. However, the Careers Advisor (who I think blows a lot of smoke) gave our class a bunch of resumes that she thought were good examples. On...

  6. Any reason NOT to post resume online?

    HealerWoman posted a topic in General Nursing

    I graduate in 3 weeks! So I just got my resume done, and was wondering if there is any disadvantage to posting your resume online? I already have one ready that does not have my street address...

  7. Best way to explain why I did AAS instead of bridge to BSN?

    HealerWoman posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I have a B.A. in Psychology (with Honors) from 1997, and when I decided to enter nursing a couple of years ago, I researched 2 year programs for AAS, and entered into an accelerated program, b/c I...

  8. What is the best nursing advice you ever got from another nurse?

    HealerWoman posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will be graduating soon, and wondered what advice you've received that made you a better

  9. Getting ready to graduate - question about resumes

    HealerWoman posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, all, I will be done with school at the end of this month, and will take the state boards (for RN) in October. My class is working on doing their resumes this month as part of our class curriculum...

  10. Should I go ahead and get "RN" engraved after my name when

    HealerWoman posted a topic in General Nursing

    I order my new stethoscope? I'm not usually superstitious, but I am kind of leery of getting "RN" after my name before I take the boards. I'm doing great in nursing school, and I finish RN clinicals...

  11. Best way to explain why I did AAS instead of bridge to BSN?

    HealerWoman replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, everyone! You put my mind at ease. One less thing worrying me now.

  12. Best way to explain why I did AAS instead of bridge to BSN?

    HealerWoman replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    I am not concerned with "defending myself", so much as having a good answer prepared in case I'm asked about this. I have been asked by instructors so many times that I just figured that a...

  14. Are all Littmann Cardiology III's pretty much the same?

    HealerWoman posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am seriously thinking about buying a Littmann Cardiology III stethoscope. I'm almost done w/my RN clinicals, and my plan is to work in ER, and maybe Critical Care, once I get some Med/Surg...

    HealerWoman posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    matter to the employer? Or do most employers not care about the color of shoes? I'm a student know, but I'm almost done (I'll finish the RN program in 9 weeks. Yah-hoo!) Anyway, my shoes I have...

  16. Awesome day -I, a lowly RN student "helped" deliver a baby!

    HealerWoman posted a topic in General Students

    I'm an RN student, and today I was in LDRP, and my patient came in about 5:15 a.m. and was dilated to 2cm. By 7:15 she was a 4, and the RN I was shadowing had to insist that the resident admit her to...

  17. Any disadvantage/advantage to copper vs. steel Littmann stethoscope?

    HealerWoman posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am sort of browsing online for a new Littmann Cardiology III, and saw one with a copper finish. I like the look, but I can't help thinking maybe it will tarnish or something? Anyone know if there...

  18. Awesome day -I, a lowly RN student "helped" deliver a baby!

    HealerWoman replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Students

    This was her 3rd (and last, according to her! LOL). She said her last labor was 5 hours start to finish. Can't believe the stupid intern wanted to keep her in triage. Good thing the nurse stood...

  19. Non-clinical nursing - What is out there?

    HealerWoman replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be a workers' compensation time loss claims manager, and we had in-house RN's who were the Nurse Case Managers for our injured workers' treatment. So if I had a particularly involved case...

  20. Should I go ahead and get "RN" engraved after my name when

    HealerWoman replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I'm gonna get it w/out engraving, and just pay to get it engraved later. I want "RN" after my name, so I'll just do it all at once. I'll guard it like a hawk anyway, engraving or no engraving....

  21. Should I go ahead and get "RN" engraved after my name when

    HealerWoman replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    AAARGH! Thank you all for the comments, but I'm getting about 50/50 on yes/no! LOL!!! I thought about doing it and covering the RN with a little sticker or something, so I'm leaning towards that....

  22. Took the NCLEX-PN yesterday, Pinned last night!

    HealerWoman posted a topic in General Students

    Hey, everybody- I took the state boards yesterday morning, then had pinning last night! I can't believe I'm done w/the PN program! Now I'm on pins & needles waiting for my test results. I tried...

  23. Just venting about something dumb

    HealerWoman replied to K nurse-one-day's topic in General Students

    LOL. Last month in Med/Surg, my classmate (and friend) was up front giving a presentation. The girl next to me started rummaging around making all kinds of racket w/her purse. This same girl has...

  24. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    HealerWoman replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Stop borrowing my pens/gait belt/notebook/whatever-you-forgot-this-time in clinicals. I'm a nursing student, I'm broke, and I did not pay money for supplies so that you could borrow them all the time...
