    moonbunnie posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi guys. I just kinda wanted to hear opinions on my situation from some other nurses/new grads. So, I got hired to work LDRP as a new grad. The manager seemed really cool. I actually found out later...

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

    moonbunnie replied to LAW79's topic in Illinois Nursing

  8. I don't have the "initiative"

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

    Thanks Sue, that does make me feel better, knowing that I am not the only one who doesn't fit well at their first job. It just sucks to be fired for doing nothing wrong other than not having enough...

  9. How easy is it to change departments?

    moonbunnie posted a topic in General Nursing

  14. Hypomagnesiumia, I am a ticking time bomb!!

    moonbunnie replied to curleysue's topic in General Nursing

    i would also recommend appealing the insurance denials. i used to work for blue cross, and i saw that sometimes if you write in appeal a decision, and have a dr also write your letter of medical...

    moonbunnie replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Nursing

  19. Which school to choose?

    moonbunnie replied to grapejuice01's topic in General Nursing

    i doubt that it matters much at all to employers, and it probably wouldnt matter as much for grad school as everything all put together i.e. your gpa, letters of reference, and job experience. which...

    moonbunnie replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in General Students

  21. health insurance coverage ?

    moonbunnie replied to cannoli's topic in General Nursing

    moonbunnie replied to JohnigaS's topic in General Nursing

    moonbunnie replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to try them on, but I don't know of any stores in my area that sell them. But if they don't fit, it probably wont be a problem to just send them back for another
