  1. L&D interview questions and advice

    loving2 replied to loving2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No case scenarios. I prepared by researching the hospital website and looked for key words in the job announcement, such as "family-centered nurse" "passionate" and "great communication skills". I...

    loving2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm so excited! I got a call for an interview in L&D! That is where I've always wanted to be! It's at the same hospital where I had the horrible interview a few weeks ago, but it's in a...

  3. Landed another interview

    loving2 replied to loving2's topic in General Nursing

    I got it, I got it!!! I'm sooo excited! I haven't gotten the official offer from HR, but the nurse manager said she really wants me. HR needs to do the background and ref check, discuss salary,...

    I got it!!!! I'm soooo excited! I really don't want to jinx myself since I haven't gotten the formal offer from HR, but the Nurse Manager said she "wants" me and can tell I really have a true...

  7. L&D interview questions and advice

    loving2 replied to loving2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I do feel "called to" OB. I'm glad you encouraged me to show my enthusiasm. I was worried it might seem overkill or desperate if I mentioned how passionate I am for

  8. work days per year

    loving2 replied to rmoreno's topic in School

    190 days. We are not on the teacher salary, but we do get a stipend for college. Something like an additional $300 for every 30 credits

  9. Staff driving while symptomatic...advise

    loving2 posted a topic in School

    I have a staff member that frequents the nurses office. Today she came to me, feeling dizzy. Her vitals were WNL, except BP was 145/90. As I was talked with her more, she started complaining of...

    loving2 replied to loving2's topic in School

    Thanks for your comments. Where do you document staff visits? We only document student visits. My principal is aware of this situation and will keep an eye on things. Thanks

  11. Tummy Ache ideas??!?!?

    loving2 replied to blackscrubs's topic in School

    Ask permission from the parent first. Most say yes, but a few tell me no. Those are the parents that send a red flag. I can hear them yelling on the other

  13. Tummy Ache ideas??!?!?

    loving2 replied to blackscrubs's topic in School

    I also call the parents. I always ask the parent if I can put them on speaker phone. That way this is NO misunderstanding between what the parent states and what the student tells me. Example, "mom...

    loving2 replied to loving2's topic in School

    Let me be clear that I didn't call her doctor. She did so herself while sitting in my health room. The arrangements I made were to have another staff member drop her off at her doctor, and I would...

  15. I've had ENOUGH (vent)

    loving2 replied to SashaO's topic in General Nursing

    Oh boy, I can definitely relate!!! I think it's HORRIBLE how so-called "professionals" are treating applicants, and it makes me furious! I feel so bad for you. I know it is frustrating. I hope...

    loving2 replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate, although I live about 50 miles from the city. I'm so depressed bc it seems like my family has gone backwards. We used to make decent money and we lived comfortably until a year ago....

  18. Wow, is it really a zoo out there?

    loving2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been in public health for 10 years, and currently work as a school nurse (RN) for 5 years. I love it, but I need a change of pace and need to sharpen my clinical skills. I've never worked in a...

    I had another interview yesterday. I think it went well, *think* being the key word. The interviewer (nurse manager) was nice and professional. MUCH different than my last interview. The interview...

  20. Any Public Health Nurse out there?

    loving2 replied to violet_violet's topic in General Nursing

    I have been in public health for 10 years. First as a Health Educator, then as a school nurse. I have made meaningful relationships with so many families. I have networked with many professionals....

    loving2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I finally landed an interview, and was offered the position on the spot, but I don't want it. There are so many problems I don't even know where to begin, but I need to get it off my chest. First of...

  23. Interview left me speechless

    loving2 replied to loving2's topic in General Nursing

    Haha...I forgot my skates. Love that line! I don't think voicing my concerns would make a difference. The CEO/owner likes her because she "is blond" and "he has a thing for blonds" (she actually said...

  24. Interview left me speechless

    loving2 replied to loving2's topic in General Nursing

    Reading all these comments has put a smile back on my face. Thank you. :) I've heard horror stories about this hospital many years ago. I was hoping that was a thing of the past. Guess not. It is...
