  1. Cover letter/resume tips for landing a job out of state

    newSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi All- (I cross posted this from the resume board in hopes of soliciting some more advice) I'm hoping there are some nurse recruiters reading these boards who wouldn't mind doling out some advice...

  2. Pregnant nurse interviewing for school nurse position - need advice

    newSN posted a topic in School

    Hello all! - I am interviewing tomorrow with the school district for a position as a school nurse. The interview's been scheduled for 3 weeks and I recently found out I'm pregnant (8 weeks). I'm...

  3. Transfer Center

    newSN replied to antares's topic in Telephone Triage

    This post is 3 years old, but I have the same question. I'm thinking of transferring to our hospital's transfer center. I need a break from the hectic environment of ER until my health improves, but...

  4. Advice about switching specialties to ER

    newSN replied to lexi_loo's topic in Emergency

    These job decisions are tough! The new opportunity sounds pretty sweet and, if you don't like what you're doing now, the best case scenario is that you love the ER and the new job, and the worst case...

  5. Off orientation and sometimes asking myself, "Am I cut out for this?"

    newSN posted a topic in Emergency

    I've been off orientation a couple of weeks now and, at the end of most shifts, I feel like I've been hit by a freight train. I'm forever trying to get "caught up", I'm always behind on charting, and...

  6. Stupid things that nurses say

    newSN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    How about stupid things RESIDENTS say?!? The other day I chaperoned a pelvic exam that a young resident was performing on a middle-aged woman. The resident is kind of awkward enough as it is. As...

  7. Cover letter/resume tips for trying to land a job out of state

    newSN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi All- I'm hoping there are some nurse recruiters reading these boards who wouldn't mind doling out some advice (many recruiters at my current hospital are RN's, so it wouldn't surprise me if some of...

  8. Coming off of orientation next week, I'm nervous!

    newSN posted a topic in Emergency

    I am coming off of orientation as a new grad next week and I'm really anxious. I had a nice, long orientation period but I feel like there are so many things I still just don't know. Forget still...

  9. Coming off of orientation next week, I'm nervous!

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in Emergency

    You guys, it's going so well. I came off on a Monday (in and of itself, a possible recipe for disaster). But it went really smoothly. I'm still so nervous as I walk up front to check the board and...

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in Emergency

    terrific advice, thank you so much. (and lol about "crusty old

  11. Web-based interview/assessment for RN position

    newSN replied to haemma's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    To shed a little more light: We had a nurse recruiter come talk to us from the hospital in which our school was based they use these tests for every candidate. She said that when she got the results,...

  12. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well I'm no longer a new SN, as my name suggests, but I am a recent graduate with a dilemma. I don't know if I'm just venting or if I really need a hand making this decision but I thank you in...

  13. New Grad RN Development Academy

    newSN replied to AZMOMO2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Nothing here

  14. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    I want to thank you all for reading and responding. You've given me lots to consider but it doesn't feel as though any decision is the wrong decision, as much as it did before I posted. I will keep...

  15. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    Your post was so sweet, thank you. He's a lot more established in his career but he did seek out this opportunity, partially because we've dreamed of moving to this location for years and also...

  16. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    It's so true. This is why the thought... "Pull the rug out from under yourself and just go... how long can it be before you find something?" keeps resonating with me. His salary is more than my...

  17. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    You are completely right - we're in a completely loving, accepting, and nurturing marriage and this wouldn't break us, it would just be stressful and tough. Kudos to your daughter and good luck to...

  18. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    I know, I would hate to break a contract, especially since I have so much respect for the hospital and for the internship. If this other thing weren't on the table... I doubt I'd even think twice...

  19. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have kids so technically, if we were ever going to do this, now would be the time. But I hate the idea of it. I guess it's partially because he's the only family I have here (both of our...

  20. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    That's great that you were able to do that in nursing school! I knew a few people in my class who left home to do our program and I always thought of them as so strong and ambitious! And whenever...

  21. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    What's funny is I have so much respect for this hospital and every RN I've spoken to there has the best things to say about their orientation and about them as an employer in general. I'm sure if my...

  22. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for reading and replying, brandy! Hubby is kind of leaving this decision up to me, saying that he really won't mind whatever I choose. We both are excited about a possible relocation to the...

  23. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    Your post made total sense to me and I loved all the points you made. I really do want the job, as much as there are things about it that I just don't like. I feel grateful for such a terrific...

  24. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    I really liked this post, and it's certainly something we've thought of. I have to say - it's the idea I've dismissed most quickly out of all of them because I just don't want to live 3000 miles away...

  25. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    newSN replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    It's what I keep telling myself - I know it's silly to pass up a job as a new grad these days... And then I remember that I don't like the city it's in and my husband has a fabulous opportunity in a...
