The first time that I read the post, that was my exact thought too. Just for a second pretend that you are the patient, you don't have your clothes, you have this gown that has your butt hanging out, and on top of that you may have the risk of someone who's taking care of you, seeing you naked, and touching your naked body that you probably unfairly associate with someone who raped or molested you. I'm not saying that's what the issue was, but it may have been. It may also have been something completely inappropriate. I think no matter how crazy the request, I would try not to assume bigot on the first shot and ask the patient about it. I'd wish and hope that their answer is not racist, but if it is then treat accordingly. Otherwise, it may be nice to conjure up some kindness for the things this person may have been through.

Has anyone else gotten an offer from Kaiser SJ - L&D?

csupiphi that's fantastic! Congrats on L&D!!! Did she happen to tell you is she was notifying all the applicants getting an offer this week?

I love this post! Thank you so much for sharing.

That's wonderful! Congrats! Did they tell you before that you were on some sort of wait list?

Didn't get it either

Dear Starghadeer - I'm so sorry to hear that. It's tough getting all those rejections and I know I do start to doubt myself sometimes too. It's hard when you come so close too. When I feel really down, I go and watch this video: and I try to remember that even if things look really bleak I need to have faith that they will start looking up. It's up to me to keep plugging along to make that happen. Also, please remember, that it is a huge accomplishment just to get that interview and that you are doing something right if you got it, so keep doing that and there will be more interviews. Plus practice will make you do better with each one, till you land the perfect job for you. I know many people who went through 4-6 till they found their groove and got their dream job. Sending positive thoughts your way :)

The rehab unit will be making calls mid-week this week. Good luck everyone!

You are at story time with your kid listening to a funny book about a girl with volume control issues and all you can think about is why hasn't anyone checked her ears!?

The Hurst Review is worth every penny. I absolutely loved it, it's very content based and I think it helped a lot. I listened to it in the car whenever I drove. I also did every question that I could get my hands on for practice. We had access to ATI, but I didn't read the books, only did the questions. There's a pretty cheap ATI app for the smart phone that I used to practice at odd moments. Good luck!

Congrats on your job offers! You worked so hard for this!!! Wish you all the luck in your new jobs :)

Sometimes a "B" is the new "A" in nursing school :) and only other nursing students get that...

We're here and ready to work. Please hire us! Some of us, like me, would really love to do bedside nursing and actually know what it entails and won't run for the hills after a year. So we would really appreciate a chance :)

Congrats! You did it!

That's fantastic! Congrats and good luck on your journey to nursing :)
