  3. HR interview

    You may also want to prepare yourself for the "behavioral interview," which is becoming increasingly popular, as opposed to the traditional interview that asks direct questions such as the dreaded...

  4. So frustrated with IV starts!!

    rnccf2007 replied to NeoPediRN's topic in Emergency

    Going through the same thing, but with blood draws. At my last job, I inserted IVs, did blood draws, and ABGs. At my current job, just no ABGs. Many of the CTAs are certified in phlebotomy, so I...

  6. Disillusioned and Bullied

    rnccf2007 replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What a horrible situation. I know that I don't have to give you the talk we give to our children about bullying and how to be a better person than such miscreants. This "adult" has probably been a...

  7. Will going agency now screw my resume/career forever?

    rnccf2007 replied to gigglymo's topic in Agency Nurses

  11. He// to the NO!

    rnccf2007 replied to FLmomof5's topic in General Nursing

    Seems to me that the only illegal activity is being perpetrated by the powers that be. Charge me with theft while encouraging me to work over without pay! If any place where I worked tried this BS,...

    rnccf2007 replied to JRP1120, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Last place that I worked, we had phones. At my current place of employement, we have Hill Rom locators and Voceras. The Vocera is on of the most useless peices of technology ever invented! I have...

  19. Why the disdain for LTC?

    rnccf2007 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Prior to becoming an RN, I was an STNA for approximately 7 years in LTC. Why did I chose acute care over LTC after graduation? Certainly no disdain for LTC. My choice was mainly r/t technical skills...

    rnccf2007 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Guess I needed to hear some of the answers on this subject from other nurses. I thank everyone. I feel burnt out from nursing (...and this scares me, because I have not been a nurse that long.) Not...
