  1. Fired: Now what?

    So you didn't do ANYTHING at all to deserve any of this? Why don't you get a lawyer and sue
  2. You shouldn't take this personally and make a drama out of it. It is not hate/like/better/worse thing. It has to do with scope of practice and standards. A lot of hospitals are not hiring LPN's...
  3. Lets be realistic. It doesn't look possible from here. While there are bunch of others with the highest GPA's competing for nursing school spots...
  4. critique please

    Put experience before schools for sure. For BSN, put "anticipated graduation date" instead of just the date.We aren't in December 2013 yet. And after reading the post above mine, I would discourage...
  5. I have a quote on my resume, but not on the cover letter. I don't think it would be appropriate in the cover
  6. Thanks for the post. I really really don't mean to start a RN vs LPN thread. Please don't get offended. But the bolded area, seriously, what does this mean? Has anybody ever heard of this? Which...
  7. Hemo vs CCU

    Huh? Is that a part of your resume or something? I really didn't understand anything. It may make sense if you can make complete sentences. Good
  8. That's plain ridiculous that the instructor and the facility already set their minds way before about dropping certain amount of people; no matter what. I would understand if a student does something...
  9. RN as a LPN

    Why would you want to work under the title of LPN while you are already a RN? Wait until they open up a RN position, or find a RN job I think. Working as a LPN if you are RN can have bad consequences,...
  10. I thought having a resume was already a basal part of the application. It is NOT a PLUS that will get you ahead of others. It is the
  11. ICU yuck

    It just sounds like you don't know what nursing is all about. A lot of people want to be pediatrics nurse, but they don't know or understand that these will be sick kids with all the body fluids you...
  12. Giving two week notice...

    Oh, there is no point in arguing professionalism with you. Our perspectives of it is wholly different. And for the bold part, of course one may actively look for another job while not telling the...
  13. Giving two week notice...

    To me, it is like saying to your manager" Hello, I will be leaving in 2 weeks, and I am going on vacation now. Hope you get it all done straight while I am gone. I am actually done working/quitting...
  14. That's a myth. Everybody gets as many questions as the computer needs to determine
  15. Have you ever cried when a Pt died

    No, I haven't. I just get tearful if when the family cries after the patient's death. I guess my weak point is when someone cries in front of me. Unless the dying patient cried right before death, I...
  16. I'm done with nursing

    Your work conditions doesn't sound normal. And if a work is giving you this much emotional problems, be glad to resign, I would too. However, not every workplace is bad. Take a break and get yourself...
  17. Nursing listed as 4th on a list of fun jobs.

    I don't totally disagree with the article. It is not boring for sure and pretty fun
  18. How far do you travel to get to work?

    I was expecting such a question. There is a hill, and I don't feel like walking before a 12 hr shift on my feet. I don't think I could handle walking after an exhausting shift either. I prefer to...
  19. How far do you travel to get to work?

    I drive less than a mile, so 1-2 minute of drive for me. I think 45 mins shouldn't be a big deal in this case if new grads jobs are hard to come by and you are given the chance to work as a
  20. RN Who Wants To Become A Paramedic???

    It's not odd to me. I am a RN who would love to be an OB tech. For my hospital, I am "overqualified". Many times I wished I was a PCA, so I could apply for
  21. i am a 1 year experienced telemetry nurse who is trying to internally transfer to ob. i just did a lot of changes on my resume after some resume tips and critiques on other people's resumes that...
  22. Oh I see now. Thank you! I will change that part!
  23. Maybe. I was called "team leader" when I leaded some other students in clinicals. So I thought I'd use that word on the resume. But I am planning to remove the student nurse experience section all...
  24. Right, I know! It is very weak on OB skills unless they count wound care and teaching part. I am trying to figure out what OB related classes/certificates and where I could get them. I sure will work...
  25. How did you *know* your specialty and when?

    During nursing school. On my last semester, after I had already seen many specialties. I fell in love with the specialty when I had my clinicals
