  1. Resume Critique please??

    ro2878 replied to Joe N635DC's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree - the resume is a bit overwhelming. I am also an "second career new grad." Because you want an interviewer to see all of your skills and education, it is very difficult to limit to a one...

  2. Do you put your BLS/CPR certification on your resume?

    ro2878 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi All, Do you bother putting your BLS certifcation with expiration date on your new grad resume? Is it considered a "given" and requirement in order to have graduated?

  3. Favorite things you bought during RN school to help your studies?

    ro2878 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    Lean Cuisines to feed my kids dinner on "care plan nights." You know, those glorious days of picking your patient and then knowing you will be up until 2:00 am writing your 30 page care plan due the...

  4. Med surg or Maternity(L&D,NICU) if I want Peds in the future??

    ro2878 replied to amystudentRN's topic in Pediatric

    You will start an IV on every L&D patient anyway - go with the L&D/NICU position. Good

    ro2878 replied to ro2878's topic in Arizona Nursing

  14. Tips on building a good rapport with children

    ro2878 replied to newbie12's topic in Pediatric

    Agreed - never say you are going to "take" anything. This can really freak some kiddos out! I usually tell a little one that the BP cuff is going to give their arm a tight hug just like when Mommy...

  15. Pediatric RN (typical day like) in a doctor's office

    ro2878 replied to danceluver's topic in Pediatric

    I am not sure what is happening in other states regarding MAs vs. RNs but in AZ that is the case. As I said when we did have the 2 RNs they acted much more as supervisors and had much less patient...

    ro2878 replied to Newnurse83's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thx for posting Newnurse83! No, I haven't applied anywhere in GA yet - still toying with the idea of moving back. We moved to AZ from Duluth, GA about 12 yrs ago. It's just so tough to get a new...
