    chloecatrn replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

    not to be rude, but let's say it again. i work in an at will state. i have consulted with employment attorneys on this. one last time, folks: "any hiring is presumed to be "at will"; that is, the...

    chloecatrn replied to Blouis's topic in General Nursing

    None of that

  4. Nursing degree with which other degree?

    chloecatrn replied to Visuals's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on what your terminal career goal is. Do you want to do nursing administration? Then perhaps an MBA, or a JD. If you want to do advanced practice nursing, then an MSN, if you can...

  5. job dilemma

    chloecatrn replied to kvdlr's topic in Nursing Career

  6. Do you put seasonal work on your resume?

    chloecatrn replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Definitely put both positions on there. It can't hurt. Also, putting your BSN coursework on there can't hurt either... but make sure you're doing it correctly. Bachelor of Science in Nursing,...

    chloecatrn replied to mamabear79's topic in Nursing Career

    Very true, llg. I just wanted to make sure that the OP was aware of the difference, especially because I had a roommate that did a CLS program. It was a lot more than she signed up for, and she...

  8. Working while in school

    chloecatrn replied to Eponine's topic in Nursing Career

    The hospitals in your area may accept nursing students as Patient Care Technicians/Nursing Assistants/Patient Care Associates... most do. My best advice would be to check the websites of hospitals...

  9. Quit or be fired

    chloecatrn replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

    Quit. If you look at an employment application, there's always a question asking if you've been terminated. You can't lie on an application, because if you do, and the new employer finds out, you...

  10. Quit or be fired

    chloecatrn replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

    Not true in an at-will employment state. They can fire you for pretty much anything

    chloecatrn replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't congregate with your fellow students and ALL sit at the nurses' station and take up ALL of the computers so that no one else can sit there. (Not that I've had that happen.) But...

  12. leaving teaching for nursing...

    chloecatrn replied to mamabear79's topic in Nursing Career

    I just want to mention that a Child Life Specialist requires a Master's Degree and an externship. These are actually pretty long, pretty intense programs, and the best ones are very difficult to get...

  13. leaving teaching for nursing...

    chloecatrn replied to mamabear79's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, right now, I'd suggest trying to snag an aide position again. Being an aide is where I learned my best nursing skills -- time management, communication, prioritization. Then, talk to an advisor...

  17. Nursing interventions for mentally challenged patients

    chloecatrn replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in Home Health

    MR is still the DSM IV diagnosis, so that's what the MD has written. That doesn't make it the appropriate way to refer to the client with whom you are working. Developmentally delayed, or, to use...

    chloecatrn replied to bd4411sa's topic in General Nursing

    Let Me Google That For You. For all of those questions that could use a slightly snarky

  19. Fiber and how it effects the GI Tract

    chloecatrn replied to bd4411sa's topic in General Nursing

    You entirely missed the point. First off, the correct answer SHOULD have been as easy as Google, but it obviously wasn't. Fiber prevents constipation. It doesn't cause

    chloecatrn replied to JonB04's topic in General Nursing

    If this is the case, then you've asked a lot of questions about the type of house and car an RN has and average salaries. I can think of three posts you've started off of the top of my head. You're...

    chloecatrn replied to Blouis's topic in General Nursing

    chloecatrn replied to ttpurtee's topic in General Nursing
