  3. What kind of patients do you handle?

    RevolutioN2013 posted a topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

  4. For those new grads who are employed, what's your method?

    RevolutioN2013 replied to grateful2010's topic in General Nursing

    Contacts, contacts, contacts. Your contacts don't get you a job. They get your resume put in front of the person who hires. It put your resume on top of the stack of 200 that the hiring person is...

    RevolutioN2013 replied to LindsayJune's topic in General Nursing

  8. How many of you work in a hospital?

    RevolutioN2013 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    RevolutioN2013 posted a topic in General Nursing

  11. Would appreciate advice on combining pre-reqs

    RevolutioN2013 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RevolutioN2013 replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    Nocturne I just went back and read some of your posts - could the nurse who turned you in about the heparin issue be the one who was behind all of this? If so, who else did she not like and have they...

    RevolutioN2013 replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    First let me say that I am so sorry this happened to you! What you're describing sounds too slick to have been the first time it has happened to someone. Has anyone else been fired while you were...

    RevolutioN2013 replied to kni0084's topic in General Nursing

    As a 40 year old cynic who is also a pre-nursing student (what an oxymoron, that LOL!) it seems like there are so many posts on this board dealing with disillusionment. It's like there is a real...
