    Nobody told me that after graduation...

    CrazierThanYou replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say, we had 4 guys in our class and every single one of them had a job lined up before graduation, before passing boards, all that. And one of them was probably the worst student in the...

    Do You judge and treat patients differently depending on who they are ?

    CrazierThanYou replied to star.crush's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I absolutely agree. I was just waiting for someone to say that no, they don't judge. Like it or not, everyone does. They may never admit it in a million years but they do. I am one of the most...

    Nobody told me that after graduation...

    CrazierThanYou replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear about your struggle. I've been there. Not with nursing but with my first degree. I wasted many years and tens of thousands of dollars getting a degree that I would never use. I...

    CrazierThanYou replied to violet_violet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wore some Nurse Mates support hose while in nursing school and when I start my new job, I plan to wear them again. What are some good brands you guys can

    The Elderly Are Devalued

    CrazierThanYou replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow, sounds like where I work. When I first started, the daily shower list was based on how many towels were available. We have ran out of gloves many times. We rarely have wipes. Sometimes there...

    The Elderly Are Devalued

    CrazierThanYou replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree also. I recently graduated from RN school but since I haven't yet found a job as an RN, I am still working as a CNA at a special care unit for dementia. The nurse consultant warned me just the...

    Asheville, NC

    CrazierThanYou replied to citygirl2's topic in Travel

    I see the person above seems rather bitter about Mission Hospitals. I haven't worked there myself, I have done clinicals there while in nursing school. Everyone I know who works there or has worked...

    Can new grads begin with travel nursing ?

    CrazierThanYou replied to cfish3456's topic in Travel

    Every job I've seen advertised in travel nursing in my area has required at least FIVE years experience. I can understand that, though, because there isn't going to be much training at

    CrazierThanYou replied to PrincessO's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't have any answers for this situation but I think there should be some other way to deal with these kinds of things. I work 3-11 and we have a girl who works 11-7 who is late every single shift....

    Job listing.

    CrazierThanYou replied to FaithHopeLove22's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Job postings are usually taken down when interviews begin. Our local hospital only posts jobs for 5 days but they might not begin interviewing for several

    Quitting during Orientation!!?? Help!!

    CrazierThanYou replied to Roskarin's topic in Nursing Career

    I know what you mean. Believe it or not, no one EVER told me anything about giving a notice when you leave a job. NO ONE. I even took courses in high school that dealt with employment, etc. I did the...

    Transportation woes for nursing students

    CrazierThanYou replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I can tell you what a classmate of mine did. He had a car but he was too cheap to drive it because his choice of car used too much gas. So, he just mooched off of everyone else for the entire two...

    I don't understand.

    CrazierThanYou posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I had an interview a couple of weeks ago at a local hospital. I thought the interview went well and really, the interviewer dropped many hints that she was going to hire me and pretty much led me to...

    Help with application question...

    CrazierThanYou replied to froggirl1129's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with the above. They are asking for NURSING experience. Nothing else. I've seen on a few applications a notice saying that clinical experience does not count and should not be

    Mission vs. Park Ridge

    CrazierThanYou replied to bladingator's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The interview went well (I think). The interviewer told me that she ranks her candidates as high, medium, and low and that I was ranked high. I still haven't heard anything from them so far but my...

    HIPAA Question or ethics issue?

    CrazierThanYou replied to somedaypeds's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I don't see a problem. The parents of chronically or terminally ill children very often have blogs. I don't see how following it would be a HIPPA violation. The mother isn't held to any HIPAA...
