  1. Let go from orientation

    avaloncar replied to newnurse1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Whoa! Okay time to call the recruiter or even go there because this is something that needs to be spoken about face to face. So sorry this is all

  2. Student loans

    avaloncar replied to Misseslloyd's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ditto!!! I didn't consolidate them though. Nor have I put much energy in finding out about consolidating them. But if you can do that then do it. I know Sallie Mae is weird about how they handle their...

  3. Wash your hands, India is watching

    avaloncar replied to elprup's topic in General Nursing

    You know what, something simple as washing our hands is something that is being overlooked. What is crazy is that, in the NICU/nursery, doctors, nurses and everyone for that matter scrub and wash...

  4. Calling HR before interview

    avaloncar replied to raoulduke666's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yeah I do not personally think there is anything wrong to ask the recruiter what to expect so at least you can be prepared. Congrats and good

  5. Looking into CNA

    avaloncar replied to StL_Momma27's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi. I do not know how long a general CNA program runs for because each is different. Most likely a CNA works under a RN or a LPN and it is very rewarding for many reasons. A CNA takes care of...

  6. Let go from orientation

    avaloncar replied to newnurse1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Aw, gosh I am so sorry. L&D is a busy department and it sucks she basically used you as a way to disregard new grads and solidify her opinions about them. She was mean to even say that comment....

  7. Nursing Job Fair Attire Question

    avaloncar replied to bendyprissy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You can if you want to. But I always stuck to dress pants and a nice blouse. There really isn't a dress code for job fairs but they do always say dress professionally, to make that first impression. I...

  8. Let go from orientation

    avaloncar replied to newnurse1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow I am sorry to hear that. I really do not know if you should leave it off or not. I do not know if that would look like omission and I saw other posts about getting in trouble for leaving off...

  10. Decent job(s) for a student waiting to re-apply to nursing school?

    avaloncar replied to hiddenjoules's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend CNA. I was a CNA prior to getting into the nursing program and I found it very helpful because I had the direct patient care down and I was very comfortable around patients. PCT is...

  11. What am I in for?

    avaloncar replied to danielle.h's topic in General Students

    Congrats. For me, my program was accelerated. So I really only had time for study and sleep. I went out to dinner on Thursday nights (the end of the week), studied on the weekends and started it all...

  12. Thank you note question

    avaloncar replied to Scarlettz's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I personally send a letter I wrote in Microsoft word and attach it in an email. I always have done it like that. But if you are able to hand write a note, even better. It does add a flair when you do...

  13. Trick: Searching for job postings

    avaloncar posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Okay after months of searching online for positions, today I realized that it depends on how you search for the positions. Okay normally you would select "RN" or whatever position you are looking for...

    avaloncar replied to mwilso2318's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup all the time. Trust me, not everyone gets all A's in their pre reqs. Or in nursing school for that matter. With life and other factors its just not possible for everyone. B's are not C's. So you...

    avaloncar replied to claritasd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    avaloncar replied to lillyh_90's topic in Psychiatric

    avaloncar replied to Midnightfire's topic in Oncology

    Congrats on your offer. I think you should take it. It will be great experience. And waiting for that dream job, in this day in age, doesn't come frequently. I never actually worked on that unit, but...
