  1. Nursing Student seeking assistance in OR Job Interview!

    Calixan replied to nurseswearscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have experience in OR interviews since I'm an ER nurse so not sure what type of questions they would ask you specifically. One thing I just couldn't help but saying though was, in the msg the...

  2. They want my salary requirement--help!

    Calixan replied to Scooter321's topic in General Nursing

    I always put "negotiable" in that line. Never been turned away from a job for putting that

    Calixan replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    lol that made me laugh at first because I didn't know if you were being serious or

  4. ED practicum

    Calixan replied to nursing.mypassion's topic in Emergency

    I think MesaRN gave an excellent list. One more thing I would add for you is just be a go getter. In my few months experience in the ER I fine the nursing students to be a little hesitant at doing...

  5. Why do nurses feel the need to put RN on their license plates?

    Calixan replied to 3dayRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I see more Teacher plates than anything. My aunt is a teacher and she has something on her plate about reading. I can't remember the exact quotes though. I think you are noticing more nursing "RN"...

    Calixan replied to Ashley t's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So are you starting in April? I applied in February too and waiting for the acceptance to start this

  8. sending an online thank you after interview

    Calixan replied to MorningLight's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think sending out a Thank You would hurt you at all. It makes you stand out from other candidates if anything in my opinion. I had 2 interviews last June for two different ER positions at...

  9. LPN in the ER

    Calixan replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Emergency

    Hey, At the ER I am starting at, LVN's work as Techs. I'm actually a GVN, and I have orientation Monday but I know we are hired as LVN's but do Tech work. Start IV's, EKG's, hook patient up to the...

  10. Most ridiculous patient requests?

    Calixan replied to AOx1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    lol, this reminds me of when I use to be a secretary. People use to always come to the desk and ask "do you have change for a dollar?" Do I look like a change

  11. UT Tyler RN to BSN Program

    Calixan replied to Bortaz's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ahhh BCIS is not needed but Literature and Psych

  12. Nurse extern interview

    Calixan replied to ladycj's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, at my first interview, they didn't look at my portfolio either. Needless to say I didn't get that job. At my second interview the first thing my new manager said after introducing herself was...

  13. Nurse extern interview

    Calixan replied to ladycj's topic in General Nursing

    Both interviews I had were so called "panels" but there were only two people at both interviews. So I am guessing maybe no more than 3 people. Shouldn't be too bad I don't think. Just go in there...

  14. Nurse extern interview

    Calixan replied to ladycj's topic in General Nursing

    I'm graduating nursing school in 5 days YAY! I had two interviews last month for nursing positions and some of the question they asked me in one or both interviews were: Why do you think your the best...

  15. Kicked out of nursing school b/c medical dx! Wth? Really?

    Calixan replied to Succubus's topic in General Students

    People on this site can be so discouraging and beat someone down when they are asking and seeking advise. When you go to an advisors office at school, you want truth but you don't want people talking...

  16. UT Tyler RN to BSN Program

    Calixan replied to Bortaz's topic in Texas Nursing

    Much more than just A&P I and II. It is posted on their site. You need Chemistry, A&P I&II, Microbiology, Nutrition, Human Growth & Development, College Algebra, Statistics, History...

  17. Is extra school needed to become an ER nurse?

    Calixan replied to amandakatherine's topic in Emergency

    You can even have an associates degree and be an ER nurse. It doesn't even require a BSN, but I would recommend going for BSN anyway. Have fun your Senior Year. How

  18. What are the worst call in excuses you've heard?

    Calixan replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    I'm moving. Well why didn't you pick a day you were off to move, or if you knew you had to move this weekend, request that weekend off before hand. Duh! Next day, same person calls and says she has...

  19. What scrubs do you like best?

    Calixan replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I like Landau. We where navy blue for school right now and the pants I bought are cargo, I like them. I wear Cherokee to work but I like Landau much

  20. October grad- when do I start applying?

    Calixan replied to ORoxyO's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's okay to apply now, for sure start applying in August though. I graduate at the end of this month and I started applying at the beginning of June, had a job offer by the end of June. So...

  21. Overcoming low GPA for accelerated BSN program?

    Calixan replied to twois's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my opinion, I think you should contact the school and ask. I only say this because some schools, (like mine) will allow you to write a petition letter if your GPA is lower than required. If your...

  22. Holiday Pay Policy

    Calixan replied to theatredork's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, don't get holiday pay. I didn't call in after all but I should have. We only had 10 patients on the floor and pretty much had nothing to do. We are required to work one weekend a month too to...

  23. Master's in nursing with low GPA of 2.4

    Calixan replied to savotina's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say what you said was "untrue". I said the person would have to be willing to stay on top of things. If you are going to slack off and think it's a breeze then you probably won't make it,...

  24. Texas air ambulance crash..2 flight nurses killled

    Calixan replied to CT Pixie's topic in General Nursing

    So sad, and me and a co-worker were talking about flight nurses yesterday at work. We took a break outside to watch the fireworks and flight for life helicopter was just leaving and we had all kinds...

  25. facebook and nursing school?

    Calixan replied to newmomspn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think it depends. A lot of students in my class have added each other on facebook and sometimes if clinicals are cancelled and somehow we missed the call, it's posted on facebook by someone. Or...
