  1. Am I hired?

    twentytenRN replied to bbie17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agreed. Most likely you are being seriously pursued as a candidate and background checks are being done prior to an offer being extended to you. I personally haven't seen this done as I've always...

  2. Should I include veterinary experience/skills in a resume? Please Help

    twentytenRN replied to amitch77's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If it is recent work experience, yes, include it. Explain the procedures that you're comfortable with like someone else mentioned and how that relates to human nursing. I've known several people...

  3. was flying high....

    twentytenRN replied to Lissacheer87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Your patient was unharmed, right? Don't fret. New nurses have a habit of beating themselves up over this kind of stuff. Next time, maybe you should just say "no" to an extra shift if you're not...

  4. Does this seem wrong?

    twentytenRN replied to Robbie, RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The posting was probably just a "formality" and they have an internal candidate. Not at all uncommon for hospitals, however unfair it may seem. I agree, your job is out there. Everything happens...

  5. I don't know what to do...

    twentytenRN replied to sunluvarn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Assertiveness is needed and appropriate in these situations. Even as a new grad you have to stand up for yourself and noone deserves this type of treatment. I would have stopped her dead in her...

  6. Nervous System?

    twentytenRN replied to mellowish's topic in General Nursing

    Waaaaaaaaay too much info to explain here! If you're an A&P student, I suggest you speak to your professor if you're having trouble understand the nervous system. It is complex and there is a...

  7. Postpartum in healthy birth!

    twentytenRN replied to ghurricane's topic in General Students

    You may get more help here if YOU come up with some of your own ideas and ask for opinions of whether or not people here would think along the same lines. It isn't right for US to come up with these...

  8. Advice for my friend re: GPA

    twentytenRN replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Most colleges will let you repeat the courses at least once to earn a higher grade. That highest grade received will be marked on the transcript. She will probably have to repeat the courses that...

  9. Student applying to positions that state "experience preferred"

    twentytenRN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd go ahead and apply. What's the harm? The worst they can do is say "No thanks" but you'll never know unless you submit an application. Some places would be thrilled to see that you're pursuing...

  10. Anxious... Will I have my job if not hired for new job?

    twentytenRN replied to bsunurse23's topic in General Nursing

    Technically, depending on the state in which you live, they can and will. I'd be talking with the manager of the department in which you are trying to transfer

  11. Jobs while in Nursing Program

    twentytenRN replied to itsworthit's topic in General Nursing

    I was a tech. Worked out great since I had to work FT and go to school. Went to school all week and worked Fri, Sat, and Sun. Lather, rinse, repeat. Glad that's over! Whew! I don't know how I...

  12. Resume' and ER Statistics?

    twentytenRN replied to KungFuFtr's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure it's necessary information on a resume but if you desire to put in on there, why don't you include it in a bullet point for that employment entry? Something along the lines of......

  13. Does it matter where you go to school?

    twentytenRN replied to jamie0110's topic in General Nursing

    Not really, but you need to make sure the nursing school is accredited by the NLNAC, otherwise if you decide to further your nursing education, your past credits won't be counted. You'd still be able...

  14. Is there anything at all about nursing that you don't like?

    twentytenRN replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah... poop and

    Very nicely written and a great

  16. advice please

    twentytenRN replied to Tarabara's topic in General Nursing

    I encountered this during clinicals. My advice is to be confident and competent in the care you are delivering. As VirgoRN stated, gain their trust. Anticipate their needs, answering their calls...

  17. After all the panic and passing... what did you do?

    twentytenRN replied to deijerz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I remember sobbing a bit after seeing the word "PASS" revealed by my quick results. I knew I had passed and it was out of sheer happiness and I immediately felt as if a huge albatross had been cut...

  18. Does it make a difference in new grad hiring? BSN or ASN?

    twentytenRN replied to red.tm's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's hard to say. I've encountered hospitals that prefer BSN's over ADN's and will hire them first for a new grad internship but I've also encountered hospitals that could care less about ADN vs....

  19. Do You Get Paid For Comprehensive New Grad Training?

    twentytenRN replied to cakegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I've only heard of a few hospitals that offer these "internships" without pay but that certainly isn't the norm. Most of the time, if you are interviewing, you are interviewing for a position of...

  20. Did anyone who is a new grad get a hospital job?

    twentytenRN replied to lion09's topic in General Nursing

    Yes but I had to relocate. No connections at all. Just

  21. Nursing Home will not accept deaf students into their CNA course

    twentytenRN replied to Silent Prayer's topic in General Nursing

    I'd also be interested in hearing from the OP with regards to this advanced stethoscope. I've researched it a bit and came up with results that include the ablility to display a HR, or even more...

  22. How did you discover you want to do this?

    twentytenRN replied to onthefence's topic in General Nursing

    I accept your apology. You will find that nursing is both, stimulating and challenging. There are many options available to nurses. If you find yourself lacking the stimulation or challenges,...

  23. Nursing Home will not accept deaf students into their CNA course

    twentytenRN replied to Silent Prayer's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it is illegal to discriminate, however many nursing job descriptions do include exactly this information. This is a sensitive subject and I don't want to upset anyone, including the OP. I respect...

  24. How did you discover you want to do this?

    twentytenRN replied to onthefence's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to be rude here, but these posts are a insulting to me as a nurse. Yeah, I played with dolls when I was a kid and through this role-playing activity I determined I wanted to help and care...

  25. Increasing maternal death rates - news story

    twentytenRN replied to TXcatcher's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The "boots" are SCD's. It is pretty standard practice to use SCD's on post-op c-sections these days to prevent this type of thing. Most hospitals put them on when the patient is on the OR table and...
