    Would "trendy" hair make hiring managers reconsider hiring you?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to NurseyNursington's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You already know the answer to your own question. You outlined it in your OP. Either cut your hair and hope that the hiring manager looks favorably on it, or wait and do what you want

    What exactly are you talking about? And where have you noticed a lack of creativity? Given the shortage of supplies and nurses in my hospital, I've seen nothing of the

    Can't stick hand veins?!

    SoldierNurse22 replied to SmallTownUSA's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Hand and wrist veins are tricky. They're typically more superficial and less of a straight shot, so in addition to squirreling all over the place, they can also move while you're trying to insert the...

    Pediatric Home Health as a New Grad?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Home Health

    Generally speaking, it's not wise to work home health until you've got some experience under your belt, even if you're doing it PRN. As a new grad, you still have a huge learning curve to overcome...

    SoldierNurse22 posted a topic in General Nursing

    In the hustle and bustle of morning shift change on the busy GI/GU unit, I stuck close to my preceptor, watching it all with wonder and more than a little bit of fear. I took report as best I could,...

    Taking down IV Chemo

    SoldierNurse22 replied to StillsmilingRN's topic in Oncology

    You need to anonymously ask the BON about this and be prepared to retain legal counsel. Even if you're accepted to nursing school, the BON may not issue you a license depending on the charges. They...

    Military to pay for school?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Hobberdog's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Do not join the military just so they will pay for school. Consider it if you're interested in the lifestyle, which becomes more and more rigorous as the drawdown pushes would-be lifers back into the...

    We had a policy where if something like that happened, nurses in the immediate area stood behind the person being verbally attacked. Silently, everyone gathered behind them and stared down the...

    SoldierNurse22 replied to kaypyn's topic in NICU, Neonatal
