  1. Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx

    WondeR.N. posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Can anybody give me some current information about working at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx? I'm a new grad and might be considered for a job there, department to be determined. I know it's a big,...

  2. Nurse shot at Danbury Hospital

    WondeR.N. posted a topic in New York Nursing

    This is so scary. Let's all send our prayers/well-wishes to this nurse and his/her family. An elderly man opened fire on his nurse and one other person at a Danbury Hospital in Connecticut Tuesday...

  3. Constantly rejected from OB...

    WondeR.N. replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it's definitely worth calling the recruiter--or a few of them. Don't sell yourself short, though, by asking for a new grad spot. You're experienced, and it's worth a lot! Jeez...two years...

  4. Do you "allnurse" at work ?

    WondeR.N. replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    There is no policy against it where I work, I have my own office where patients come to see me, it never interferes with the work I do, and I don't take a lunch break. I don't take smoke breaks, talk...

  5. Constantly rejected from OB...

    WondeR.N. replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    RNpandoraRN, is it possible you've only looked into post-partum doula programs or have spoken? I have a friend who was a birth doula, extremly knowlegeable and a nursing student at the time. She...

  6. Should Your DON Talk to You After You Give Your Resignation?

    WondeR.N. replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    She is your supervisor and absolutely should at least acknowledge your resignation, unless she's completely unprofessional. If that's the case, it's no wonder you're quitting. You should mention...

  7. Do you "allnurse" at work ?

    WondeR.N. replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    yep...I'm at work right now. I learn a lot on these boards! I'm not in a hospital, though, so my schedule allows me to take a few moments now and then to check the news, visit allnurses,

  9. Associates degree

    WondeR.N. replied to Kristen<3's topic in New York Nursing

    SPower, I live in the burbs, but I applied to the Visiting Nurse Service of NYC...at the beginning of this year, I think. VNS offers a great new grad training program, similar to hospital nurse...

  10. What can a high school student do to get into....

    WondeR.N. replied to an0nymous's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Squire is right. Many nursing schools are highly competitive to get into, but if you're a good student in high school, you'll have NO problem at all. The TEAS is easy...EASY...and I took it...

  11. New Grad Freaking out about jobs

    WondeR.N. replied to rn4ever7411's topic in New Jersey Nursing

  12. New Grad Freaking out about jobs

    WondeR.N. replied to rn4ever7411's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Freaking out, you need to pace yourself. The job market SUCKS big time in the NY-NJ-CT area, not to mention PA...and, well, the rest of the country. Pace yourself and brace yourself for the long...

    WondeR.N. replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    WondeR.N. replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    WahWah, I'm just throwing this out here: Is English the first or second language for the student who is floundering? Is it possible there is a language barrier? Or is it possible that the student...

    WondeR.N. replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    And one more note...for crying out loud, people: this poster is a STUDENT!!! She is NOT a nurse! The other student, incompetent or not, is NOT her responsibility! Why is this so difficult for you...

  18. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    WondeR.N. replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    WahWah, I, too, would like to know how far along in the program you are. The clinical instructor may just be biding his/her time with the student who is "not getting it." That instructor may be...

    WondeR.N. replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    nanacarol, with all due respect, you missed the point here. This is a post from a student--a STUDENT--who is not only being made to feel responsible for another student's success, she is actually...

    WondeR.N. replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students
