    Neurotic Student replied to Neurotic Student's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  4. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Neurotic Student replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I would only do it if I'm required to (loss of job). My hospital requires us to wear a mask if we don't, but it's not enforced. I doubt masks will go well with my psychotic patients. I don't get it...

  5. How can I increase the morale on my unit?

    Neurotic Student replied to BecomingNursey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My hospital also has a high turnover, but that's because of administration. Most of us that come into work enjoy each others' companies and helping patients. People also leave here for higher pay, but...

    Neurotic Student posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Neurotic Student replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Neurotic Student replied to Neurotic Student's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for replying! :) Most of my volunteer experience was not nursing-related though. Should I still keep it? Will doing EKG and ACLS help? Honestly though, having EKG/ACLS is like having...

    Neurotic Student posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Neurotic Student replied to Neurotic Student's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    @swansonplace nurse residency programs are jobs for new grads, which I'm having a hard time getting. I think the military wants experience too, unless you meant going in not as RN. I would do...

    Neurotic Student replied to Neurotic Student's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Neurotic Student replied to Neurotic Student's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
