I was contacted for interviews on Medsurg for both hospitals and I would just like more information. I have been to both hospitals before, MCCG is huge, while Houston is smaller in size. That is the only difference I know so far. Has anyone worked a...

From an article I read a couple months ago( it was on yahoo, can't find the link), FB gives access to firms that carry out background seaches on potential employees for hiring companies. So even if you have very private settings on your facebook pag...

Dont Do It.

please just aim for Med school, if it doesnt work out then go to nursing school. do your prereqs for med school and take the MCAT. focus on getting the best results and if you are a strong candidate. Prereqs for medschool and nursing school are diff...

Just say no

Make it through orientation, then practice what you know is right after you are no longer tied to your preceptor. Your patients and colleagues will notice your work ethic

before the thread gets locked?

are you serious? nouns and verbs? Maybe they are acronyms for something else in informatics. I hope they are.

I am glad I did not have any school loans, but I have a friend who had 30k plus loans. He paid it off in 2yrs. Another got a business degree from an ivy league school for 110k and paid it off in 3. these were not nursing degrees which is why they wer...

Well, why would she have the friend in the room if parts of her history was not okay. I dont think you were at fault.

Scrubs to an interview. I have an interview in a couple days and I was wondering. The last interview I went to, there was a lady in solid blue scrubs and a white jacket. She looked so very nursy/proffessional that I am thinking of doing the same thin...

At this point MGT doesnt care, their are a thousand new grads waiting to take your position OP, if you leave. Just do your best and get malpractice insurance.

I would say it's the instructor fault because even if your assigned pt has meds, the instructor should have a) told the nurse the student was going to pass meds. This creates accountability on the part of the nurse. If 9am meds are not given by an a...

Thanks to all that replied I do feel confident in my interview wear so I am going with that. I just wanted to ask.

You can do agency with one yr experience. check craigslist and just keep searching. You might even get a travel job at home paying double. good luck. If i may ask, what did you do in your former career.

WOW 32 nursing programs is a lot, they need start shuttting some down.

The DON is only trying to cover his/her tracks. Only meet with her with a lawyer/witness present. A lawyer should be able to sue the DON and facility for contributing to the med error by unsafe staffing and also for making false allegations against y...

You have stated all the issues with MCCG. If you cannot find another job, stick with them for at least a year, and then go somewhere else. Their solutions to retention only makes it worse.

Just my two cents: all I hear about coliseum is run, run, run. Not a good hopital for nurses. MCCG is a good hospital and you will learn a lot but it is hard work. If you do take their $2000. Do not spend it, just in case you quit in 3-6months. They ...

OP, Isnt there one person at your job who likes you??? Sometimes we have to ask the hard question, is it me or is it them? I believe there are plenty sides to the everyone hates me story. To answer your concern, the only way I have seen that new nu...

To clarify I am an RN-BSN and have been looked down upon by ADNs. And please yall stop with the anecdotes of BSN nurses been book prepared and not able to hit the floor running. How come there are no quotes/research of how the two groups compare 1 y...

Get a BSN, stop bashing BSN nurses. This issue wont be a problem if there was only one way to become an RN instead of 5000 ways. I dont see doctors getting an associate degree... in medicine.

What the h\\? Do you work at a zoo? Where employers are animals because that how your DON and administator is treating yall right now. Please turn in your resignation asap. Call the police because a resident's pain is still 2/10, have they ever wor...

Wow I had to deal with someone like this receiving report from me, I looked up and it was 7.50 and all the night nurses were long gone i was so ****** off. No one likes getting or giving report to her!!! next time i will set a timer for her.....

Finish your current job. Life as an NP is way better than floor nursing. What if you are let go 2months into the ICU program for mundane reasons? Unless you absolutely hate your job, stay there and get a year experience, then it would be easier to ...
