  1. New grad offered job at Pain Clinic

    Student Mom to Three replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd take it!! You could learn a whole lot! Do they do conscious sedation for their procedures? They may train you in that and it is very valuable experience. If you interviewed today and they...

  2. Unit Manager Offered Me a Job Before Graduation. How to proceed?

    Student Mom to Three replied to KatePasa's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Does sound stressful. Not to be cynical or anything, but are you sure she really offered you a job? Or was it advice? As in "at this point in your nursing career your primary focus should be on...

  3. What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    Student Mom to Three replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    Holiday....Endeavour....

  4. So bitter? So soon?

    Student Mom to Three replied to CP2013's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Take a breath!! You don't even graduate for another two months! How do you know you won't have a job? I understand that you are just venting....but you seem to have a very negative, defeatist...

  5. NAPS (Nurse Administered Propofol Sedation)

    Student Mom to Three posted a topic in Patient Medications

    I am a relatively new RN (1 year in an ASC) who just took a new position in outpatient endo. Part of my job will be administering the mod sedation using fentanyl and versed and I am receiving...

  6. Is health care a "right"

    Student Mom to Three replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    To deny a person access to healthcare is absolutely inhumane. So, yes, it is a right. And, yes, it is a civilized government's responsibility to ensure it's constituents have access. Our government...

  7. What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    Student Mom to Three replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I am a second career RN....was a SW for state govt for several years before going to nursing school. A lot of you may not believe this.....but some jobs actually suck worse than nursing!!! For...

  8. what career is the hardest to work in?

    Student Mom to Three replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. My husband was a special ed teacher and I would never, ever, ever in a million years do his job. Ever. Poop? He's got it. Getting smacked? Yep. Dealing with incredibly difficult...

  9. Job Application- Decision making and problem solving abilities

    Student Mom to Three replied to Blurr2's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    To me it kind of sounds like they are asking you for an example of a time you were "thinking outside of the box". One of those times you had to be creative to make something

  10. Can I pull this off??????

    Student Mom to Three replied to RNmichaelJ's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You probably have unrealistically high expectations for yourself!! I think us 2nd career RNs are super hard on ourselves because we are used to being uber-successful in our previous lives. It's...

  11. Has anyone left bedside or floor nursing with less than 3 years experience?

    Student Mom to Three replied to cantdoit's topic in Nursing Career

    Never worked bedside! Started in an ASC (pre/post and OR) and now after a year moving on to outpatient endoscopy. Really, the way to go, in my opinion. Patients have to be generally healthy for...

  12. Question about mandatory reporters...

    Student Mom to Three replied to RN&mom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm coming from my social work background....not my nursing one.....but, I don't think this is a situation that you need to report. She asked for money, it wasn't given. And actually, even it it...

  13. Nervous about starting IV's help

    Student Mom to Three replied to Malina9559's topic in General Nursing

    You said you can hardly see the vein. My advice would be to not worry about seeing the vein at all. You need to be able to *feel* it. Leave the tourniquet on for a bit with their arm relaxed and...

  14. Cover Letter??

    Student Mom to Three replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am a nursing supervisor at an ASC who is hiring right now. Your cover letter must be personalized. Nothing ticks me off faster than a generic cover letter.....just as bad as no letter at all. It...

  15. A few questions....interview Friday!

    Student Mom to Three replied to kRN0512's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Maybe my nursing interview experiences have been unusual, but nobody has ever asked me a "what would you do in this situation" question regarding nursing practice. I get a lot of "how do you handle...

  16. Malpractice insurance?

    Student Mom to Three replied to Ashleyk5041's topic in General Nursing

    NSO. They have really low rates for new grads...like $50 for the first year. Enjoy your

  17. Fairly Unique Situation

    Student Mom to Three replied to Drstrangelove88's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Get the ADN first!! My reasoning is purely anecdotal...but here goes. I am an ADN. Paid approximately $10k for it (I do have a previous bachelor's degree). I can go back for my BSN online and...

  18. Low Ball The New Grad

    Student Mom to Three replied to guest042302019's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not to be cranky, MrChicago, but if half make more and half make less that is "median", not "average". Average is something entirely

  20. Ambulatory surgery

    Student Mom to Three replied to littlerayofsunshine's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My first job as a new grad was at an ASC. Love it!! Hope to never work anywhere else. Yes, you do need to have strong skills and know when something is going wrong as there is no RRT, etc. You...

  22. RN Residency Program GPA

    Student Mom to Three replied to etoileFuture's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't know anything about the particular program you are applying to. In my area there is only one major residency program and you have to have a 3.25 to even be considered. I had a 4.0 and...

  23. Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

    Student Mom to Three replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Responding to the NG drainage replacement calculation: 600/2= 300. 300/8= 37.5 (38) mls per hour. Or am I just really missing something

  24. What info do I need about new job??

    Student Mom to Three posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    First of all.....sure feels good not to be posting under "First Job Search" or "First Year After Licensure". Yahoo for surviving the dreaded first year and first nursing job!! So....I *may*get an...

  25. Any midwives that got an ADN through Excelsior?

    Student Mom to Three replied to biggolp's topic in Excelsior College

    This is just a question....if you are a CM and then become an RN are you then a CNM or do you still need to go to CNM
