Oh god, yes.

You can choose to leave it off of your resume if you want. It is not required to list every job you've ever worked on a resume. The purpose is to highlight the jobs and qualifications that make you a suitable candidate for the position applying for. ...

Wow. Just wow.

what a hasty generalization. i can only imagine what the response would be towards me if i posted that all experienced nurses are mean, wicked, nasty and eat their young.

A few years ago I did something pretty awful and out of character and suffered some very dire consequences because of my actions. I, too, was feeling depressed and ashamed of my behavior, worried what my friends and family would think. I hesitantly r...

It will matter most for grad school and if you pursue teaching. As far as employment, unless the school's nursing program has a really bad reputation, a BSN is a BSN as far as most hospitals are concerned.

I agree with those who have said that sometimes the best place for an ailing elder IS a long term care facility. It is extremely hard work providing care around the clock for someone, and most people cannot adequately so. For those who can, kudos to ...

I don't know how much and how often you were using MJ but how long it stays in your system depends partly on how heavy of a user you were. Go get a home drug test and see if you currently test positive. Also, I don't know what area of the country you...

Sounds like the answer is no if they aren't specifically asking about depression. Don't worry yourself too much about them investigating you and finding out about your hospitalization. How would they get access to your medical records to know you wer...

That's the million dollar question.

I worked my first flu shot clinic recently and the paperwork gave me much more anxiety than giving the actual shots. I'm pretty comfortable giving shots though. I give them at the clinic I work at all of the time. If you have time at the beginning of...

Combine them how?

I've seen the term compact license quite a few times throughout the threads on AN. What does it mean? Thanks in advance. :)

It is common to have a two page resume now just as long as what you have listed is relevant to the positions you are applying for. It is better to have a professional, two page resume that details how qualified you are than to leave experience off of...

Nursing theory is boring. NS is about preparing you for the NCLEX. You'll learn how to be a nurse on the job. You just have to make it through school and pass the boards.

Why is your employer even entertaining this nurse and her husband's demands? I understand they have invested some time and money into training her but who is in charge here? She applied for and was hired for a night shift position. The day shift posi...

Nice one. :)

It's been said multiple times and it bears repeating, get a job (CNA/tech/UA) at a local hospital. Especially if it's a union hospital. Union members get first dibs on posted positions in their facility and it will be much easier for you to move into...

Amen!

As a not quite new grad anymore but still new RN, If I had any chance of being hired to a nursing floor that I was interested in working for long-term, I would be way less likely to leave once I had proper training. But the way things are now, us new...

If you are interested in nursing and feel you can handle nursing school curriculum, I say go for it. I liked math in high school but I hated the sciences. Once I decided that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine and healthcare, my hatred for the s...
