Chicago BSN, RN

I read pretty much all the comments and here's my take on what I think...you can take my advice or leave it, but at least think long and hard on what I have to say. Now we all have various reasons for becoming a nurse, so if you want to really be suc...

I am cheeeesing!!! Because I am officially a nurse. That's right! No longer am I the licensed non-working individual. But I am not here to gloat or rub it in. I wanted to give some tips. They are kind of out-of-the-norm....Very stalker-ish even! Hope...

Hi Cat....if you are SUPER interested then you do just that....ALL OF THE ABOVE with a bit of a twist. First off, "shift supervisor" is not exactly "upper management." So emailing them would really be on the "bad side" of stalking, if that makes any ...

TokyoRose!!!! Say what?!?!?!?! LOL! That is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!! :yeah:I must also say that I was totally emotional when I read your post initially. For you to say that my post changed your life is MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY. The entire process of being t...

sometimes i feel the system sets us up for failure with all the constant documentation. my facility has had some recent close call lawsuits for whatever reason that all turned up frivolous. b/c of it, administration has beefed up on the documentation...

omg!!!! sorry it has taken me this long to respond. sushirn- doing the happy dance right along with you! congrats! sooo happy for you. kellp374- quit your stinking thinking!!! your luck is not up. first off, get a hardship deferment or forbearance a...

That is a very tough decision. I had a friend in an ENTIRELY different field do that and was VERY UNSUCCESSFUL. When I was looking for work...back 2010/2011, I seriously considered relocating without a job. I figured the hope of finding something AFT...

Glad I could be of service to everyone thus far. AndyJune: Great work gumshoe (LOL!). Super congratulations and thanks for your addition as well. I'll see if I can edit my post to add your latest spy techniques.

I have no clue about the job market in Denver. However, I feel that it should be much more urbanized than the town you are from in WY. But as far as experience is concerned, you have 1.5yrs RN experience. That's more than enough to get a position on ...

Sorry about the delay in response. Life has been kinda hectic. But I am soooooo happy for you. That is AWESOME news!!! I hope you have enjoyed your experience in the ICU so far. I'm sure you have seen how much you have grown and yet still learning a ...

Sooooooooooooo.....what you're indicating to me, is that HR was on Facebook on company time:confused:????

Not from FL, but I did the trick and it seems to be true. Also, a group of classmates (4), all took it the same day. They did the trick. 3 got the records response, and 1 asked for her credit card info to pay again. When they reviewed their results, ...

1 - NOW!!!!!!!!!!! 1.1 - YES!!!!!!!!!!! 1.2 - BUT, OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 - APPLY FOR ANYTHING AND ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But in your efforts in finding a job straight outta school, don't forget to do what it takes to g...

Definitely apply! Even though programs require it; as long as its furnished to them before it starts, you're in the clear. If they ask for it beforehand, you can state that you are NCLEX-eligible, so that they won't TOTALLY disqualify you. HOWEVER, d...

But of course!

You know, that is not the 1st time I have heard them commend us. They are really good about that. Now, I wanna know...what does Dr. Oz think???? Lol!

I think it's safe to say we are all in agreement here. These co-workers that looked sso shocked could just be saving face. See if one of them doesn't stay on the clock to finish their work. My manager would never expect you to clock out and return to...

I would have acted or thought to act in the same way as you. When you come along a patient, and you DID NOT see them hit, but see they have been. YOU DO NOT MOVE THE PERSON. Nursing knowlege is not even required. Seems to be pure common sense. And as...

LOL! LOVE IT!!!!! Hey...what can I say? Laughter is good for the soul and I believe in sharing it! Thanks for the support!

Yes, I am. Time to see something different: Memphis TN!

LOL LOL LOL!!! I'd give you Double Kudos if I could. Thanks!

Thanks CeilingCat! I'm all about sharing is caring! Thanks QBoro! Amazing indeed! The 1st call was exciting. But when I was hitting interview #4...I nearly fainted. To have a dry spell, and then back to backs come out of nowhere...! A blessing!

Is a bird in a hand, worth two in a bush....? *crickets chirping* Yes, dear....discrimination ALL THE WAY.

:yeah:LOVE IT!!!! In a way, I'd root for living on the beach lol. Fabulous plan either way it went. But since plan A worked out in the end....CONGRATULATIONS!!!

As soon as she had finished blowing hot air, I would've responded so cooly: "Girl, I hear ya! Not all of us can get into nursing school or medical school. I guess for you it was both. But hey, look on the bright side. At least, you got in somewhere. ...
