I would give it a year, like others have mentioned. When you're totally on your own it'll be different. Besides, it'll look better when you're trying to get a new job/unit if you have a year's...
Can I ask how you "messed up" the first interview? I'm always concerned about preparing well enough for an interview and it's helpful to hear of what experiences other people have had. And yes, you...

The fact that you went to the trouble to post this message shows that at least you care. You can't be responsible for the hospital. You can only be responsible for what you contribute to the...
That's like asking if math is a hard course to take. Well, there's elementary math where you add, subtract, multiply and divide. But as you take higher level courses you get into differentials which...
I am wondering what everyone's path in nursing has been. I hear so many different stories of how people got into nursing, what age they were, how they chose to advance their careers, how they...
I'm impressed that you have had such a fulfilling career! It's great to hear stories like this when most of the time all you hear is people complain about being underpaid and overworked. It seems...
I was wondering if anybody had a source for longer, tunic-style scrub tops? I have only found one that was relatively long and cute. I've looked through other threads but couldn't find anything that...
I think it's nice that you have a BS outside of nursing. It gives you a different perspective and you have a different formal education to draw from. Many medical schools like applicants that don't...
I don't think the goal of having a nurse hold a BSN is so they are well rounded. The point of a BSN is to give a more in depth study of nursing--in the process of earning that BSN though, you also...

To be honest, the OPs opening statement/question and her subsequent responses to everyone's comments ALL seem a little out there. It really sounds like it's a joke. I mean, "elegant pants"...were...

Agreed. I didn't mean to imply attractiveness had anything to do with it. I meant that it doesn't matter what you look like. You just have to give off the impression that you are in control of your...

Agreed. I read an article the other day that said that whether or not you look confidant matters a lot in determining the probability of getting attacked. If you look like you know what you're doing...
Does your hospital pay for you to advance in your field? Maybe they would pay for you to go back to school and get a BSN. Idk if your hospital requires charge nurses to be BSNs, but if it does then...
Right. Because I go around with a sign that says "I've earned a BSN from one of the top universities in the country." Oh, by the way, I never fail to mention that I hold multiple degrees. Who...
I think it's great that you found a path that's working for you and your lifestyle. If going with an ADN helped you on your road to whatever your end goal is, then you absolutely did the right
There was a great thread on here about questions that are asked during interviews, you should try to find that. A lot of the really basic questions that you always hear about but don't think people...
