  1. Nervousssss New Grad starting on Cardiac Floor!

    Seas replied to Lilu86's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh, I forgot to mention. The experience telemetry gives you is invaluable and opens a lot of doors. That's the only thing I am glad

  2. Nervousssss New Grad starting on Cardiac Floor!

    Seas replied to Lilu86's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry to say, but I don't think your feelings will change. I have been doing surgical telemetry for 1.5 year. I loved getting hired there, it was my choice, and I liked it for a while after I got...

  3. Clinical instructor offended me during clinicals

    Seas replied to crunchytaco's topic in General Students

    Has your instructor never heard you talk or you have never talked to each other for anything? I mean, there are all kinds of communication going on between students and instructors at clinicals. I...

  4. doing the work of a CNA at a lesser pay

    Seas replied to grace_lorraine87's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    You don't have to be a "Certified Nurse Aide" (CNA) in many facilities, to work as an aide. This may be one of those. Your job title one on one "caregiver" already sounds like you have to take total...

  5. Burnt Out, Tired of Floor Nursing

    Seas replied to MystyqueOne's topic in Nursing Career

    1 year of experience is usually the golden mark when changing positions. You don't necessarily need 2 years of experience for most positions. I don't know how things work in VA hospitals, or if you...

  6. how much a&p do you retain once you become a nurse?

    Seas replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, A&P was my favorite subject, I studied for it pretty good, and made A's in both A&P 1 and 2. On the job, however, no, I don't retain all that. I retain the basics and enough info...

  7. leaving my job gave a 2 weeks manager very rude.

    Seas replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am one of the first posters who replied to this topic. I am admitting that my ideas and thoughts changed when I read the following replies. I now disagree with my first post where I thought the OP...

  8. leaving my job gave a 2 weeks manager very rude.

    Seas replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have read all the replies in this topic. Your replies are the only ones that make me wow. What are you exactly defending? Just walking out of door with no notice is plain out rude, unprofessional...

  9. Do patients question your expertise?

    Seas replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    My expertise is rarely questioned. Mostly turns out good. When I was a new grad, still in training, my expertise was questioned by a patient's family (she's been a nurse for 40 years as well). I told...

  10. Read this email my NM sent to all the nurses.

    Seas replied to GummibearsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the NM also felt embarrassed to have to compose such an e-mail to her unit staff. The question is, how bad of an environment is there that requires such an e-mail to warn people? Not online...

  11. Missed the deadline on Preemployment Drug Screen

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So, most people who replied says don't bring it up unless they ask. That's what I am doing for now. But I still have the urge to call and clarify everything. Or wait and find out in orientation day;...

  12. leaving my job gave a 2 weeks manager very rude.

    Seas replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If she was that rude to me, yes, I would call back and apologize and tell that things happened, and I am not able to work. This is me though. If someone treats me bad, they will get it right back at...

  13. Missed the deadline on Preemployment Drug Screen

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The other test was for my school. It was a "designated" area, meaning I HAD to get it in that particular center. Or I wouldn't make it in school; they are very strict about it. It is only a...

  14. Missed the deadline on Preemployment Drug Screen

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, that's the thing! The letter only stated that it is contingent upon passing a drug test. It didn't say the time period. Even the e-mail from the HR representative only stated the required drug...

  15. Missed the deadline on Preemployment Drug Screen

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think they would already call and let me know if I wasn't on their list anymore. Notifying of a rescinded job offer before I make it to orientation is their responsibility. That is if the offer is...

  16. LPN for many years to qualify to take RN boards

    Seas replied to lpoore's topic in LPN to RN

    No. Content in RN schools is much different, and you can't learn it with experience. It is not something you can just catch up in years of being

  17. Should I resign or wait for termination?

    Seas replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Some new RN's with only LPN experience have trouble adapting to RN role. I have seen examples. This may be the case here

  18. Should I resign or wait for termination?

    Seas replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Do you provide substandard care to patients because you don't like this specialty? You may or may not like your job. It's okay, and it doesn't matter to the manager. What matters is your care. Not...

  19. How to ask for your old job back

    Seas replied to luvpets's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Are you re-hireable? 2 weeks notice and nurse manager was disappointed. hmm. I just wonder that first. Was your old facility okay with 2 week notice? In my facility, you are not rehireable if you give...

  20. Intensive Care nursery vs. NICU

    Seas replied to Encast's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    They sound the same. For the interview, know the hospital; mission, vision, values, how many beds in this NICU, any award to this hospital in the past. Those would help you answer why you picked that...

  21. This is getting SO frustrating!!

    Seas replied to J&B-RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    How is your resume looking? Review that if you need to. Sometimes, a good written resume can get you the job, no matter what experience you may or may not

  22. How Far do you want to go in your Nursing Education?

    Seas replied to MusicEMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently in RN to BSN program, finishing in May 2013. I want to go for MSN right after that. I will stop at

  23. HIPPA is a joke.

    Seas replied to rickbar's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    HIPPA may be a joke, but HIPAA is

  24. Leave during orientation for dream job?

    Seas replied to CALPA12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Quit for your dream job. You aren't too far along the orientation. And life is too short not to do your dream job when it is

  25. What does CNA do during code blue?

    Seas replied to Ybur514's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    On my floor, CNA's only stay out of the way and keep doing their jobs for everyone except for the coding patient. There are too many RN's to work with the patient and run for things at that
