    Nicknames unprofessional?

    AntMarchingRN replied to blackvans1234's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I also put No, I too thought you were asking if it was wrong to be called those names. (Sorry) I think you should be called whatever you want! Do you Richie!! My given name is what people would...

    Is it me...or is it impossible to get an interview and a job in NJ! :(

    AntMarchingRN replied to KittyinNj's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    If you are still looking and really willing to move, check out northern Virginia/Maryland. I lived in North NJ and got nothing after graduation from 2009-2011. My husband's job moved us to northern VA...

    Medical Office RN Question?

    AntMarchingRN replied to nanny1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I worked in a peds office as my first job as a nurse. When I was interviewing for my next position at a hospital they did not even consider my time in the office as experience because it was not...

    Should I take the job because its a Magnet Hospital?

    AntMarchingRN replied to jaznia15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Personally (JUST my opinion) I would not consider magnet status in my decision. I think you are giving it too much weight. What is magnet status? I mean, I know what it is, but what does it do for...

    Help, I'm a new nurse....worried about losing licensure constantly..

    AntMarchingRN replied to KayDubb's topic in General Nursing

    Try looking up your state's regulations on nurses. That way you know what reasons a nurse could loose a license and you won't be afraid of things like getting sick ending your career. Something like...

    New grad...ER or NICU?

    AntMarchingRN replied to Shanlee79's topic in General Nursing

    I would go ED...I am also biased, but the points made above make a lot of sense. As a new grad, ED gives you a chance to go anywhere if you find out its not for you, where as NICU somewhat limits your...

    AntMarchingRN replied to fsv1024's topic in Maryland Nursing

    What Freaks You Out?

    AntMarchingRN replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Ortho!! You can have c-diff, throw up on me, GI bleed all over the floor, but if you have a visible bone break, either in the skin or out, it makes my stomach turn. I literally have to concentrate on...

    New grad needs help deciding which job to take L&D or Dialysis Clinic

    AntMarchingRN replied to mommo5's topic in General Nursing

    This is the best type of problem to have, which job do I take? I'm just happy to see a new grad having to decide between two jobs instead of not having any prospects. You have to make your own...

    License endorsement

    AntMarchingRN replied to dienne's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, you will not lose it, you will just be licensed in another state. For example I am licensed in NJ and PA. I must do CEUs for each license and follow renewal proceedures for each. However, I think...

    New Grad, don't want to work in hospital

    AntMarchingRN replied to ladybuglouRN's topic in General Nursing

    I started out in a doctor's office (ped neuro) M-F 10a-6p. I was able to get a job in a hospital since then and am now working four 10 hour shifts and am much happier. I'm sure it isnt the same...

    I need a job!! ANY job!

    AntMarchingRN replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have to state that you are a nursing student during your interview? I dont understand why it would even have to come up. Simply state what hours you are available. It is none of their business...

    AntMarchingRN replied to pink_shoes99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The test changes every three years...its not made harder, just more current to stick with the updated information. Just think of it this way, the test you are taking is one someone else was afraid to...

    AntMarchingRN replied to SparkleRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did not read all the posts so I'm not sure if this was said already, but in NJ there were programs where you PAID THE HOSPITAL $4,600 for 14 weeks of what was basically shadowing so that you could...

    AntMarchingRN replied to intothenight81's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    6 weeks is nothing! If this is a job you want and is close to your house, you already said you have some money to cover you til you start. I would take it and wait the 6 weeks. After getting my RN...

    Nursing jobs available at Sentara Healthcare

    AntMarchingRN replied to mambojennifer's topic in General Nursing

    Its odd that they say they are open to new grads. They just had a job fair and were turning new grads away at the door. They were making it very clear they were only speaking to experienced nurses. I...
