  1. RESUME QUESTION: quit job after only 3 weeks, blah blah HELP PLZ;)...

    Horseshoe replied to Xtina, BSN, RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In her case, probably not. For a new BSN grad applying for a competitive residency, it could be

  2. holidays... sick call...

    Horseshoe replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    That is one of the most bizarre comments I've ever read here. Do you not understand the importance of a good

  3. Nursing Admissions: A Frustrated Student's Manifesto

    Horseshoe replied to medicapoetica's topic in General Nursing

    OP, have you looked into direct entry MSN programs? You could take your BS degree and parlay that into a Master's of Nursing, and bypass this excruciating process you've experienced so far. That...

  4. Nursing Admissions: A Frustrated Student's Manifesto

    Horseshoe replied to medicapoetica's topic in General Nursing

    I've known MANY second degree nurses. There were at least ten in my nursing class, including me. I find it very hard to believe that already having a BS in a non nursing field is keeping applicants...

  5. Domestic Violence: Why Should SHE Leave?

    Horseshoe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I live in a community property state, and a house purchased before marriage is separate property, not community property. He doesn't get half of the house just by virtue of being married. The...

  6. Do traffic tickets affect your ability to be hired?

    Horseshoe replied to BananaPanda's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what state you are in, but at my first offense, I was able to get my violation erased by taking a defensive driving class. I would rather do that than plead not guilty to something I...

  7. Sleeping at work

    Horseshoe replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    Termination does seem harsh if your prior behavior was exemplary. However, I don't see how you can claim you were only asleep for "10 seconds." If you were actually asleep, your assessment of time...

  8. Domestic Violence: Why Should SHE Leave?

    Horseshoe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    If the house is in her name only, couldn't she just sell it? She would not need his permission to do so, it would seem. Obviously I am not a lawyer, so it wouldn't surprise me if it were not quite...

  9. Dr. complaint

    Horseshoe replied to Kavikziggy77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It amazes me that you would think you could lose your license over this. Where is this irrational fear coming from? I see it ALL THE TIME here on AN, so I'm not necessarily just referring to the

  10. Attention nurse bullies... and victims!!

    Horseshoe replied to Xtina, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my hospital, "Code Pink" meant that there had been an infant

  11. Can Text Convay Enough

    Horseshoe replied to Reigh7's topic in General Nursing

    I believe AN is pretty well moderated, but your hope that "every other forum" will have respectful responses is pretty

  12. suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

    Horseshoe replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for your

  13. In fear of losing my license.

    Horseshoe replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    That has nothing to do with whether or not one would be embarrassed for others to see and have intimate knowledge of one's sexual life. I'm not remotely ashamed to have a sex life with my husband,...

  14. suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

    Horseshoe replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

    So how is it handled? Hopefully not by enabling the parent

  15. Given the boot 2 weeks before graduation

    Horseshoe replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    The MCAT is not a licensing exam, and is not a "pass" or "fail" type of exam, so it's not really equivalent. But your point is well taken, and I

  16. Is it bad that I can't work holidays?

    Horseshoe replied to alieu4's topic in General Students

    If you are not scheduled to work, how are they to know you spent your Thanksgiving with relatives? Do you have any say at all in your scheduling? For example, if you work 3 twelves and you request...

  17. In fear of losing my license.

    Horseshoe replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    That's very fine, but the point I made wasn't whether or not someone SHOULD lose respect for her, it's that depending on a manager's values, they very well might. Not everyone is non-judgmental, and...

  18. In fear of losing my license.

    Horseshoe replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    That's actually what I meant but apparently didn't state well. The facts ARE, however, that conversations made electronically CAN be shared, and what a person felt was PRIVATE being shared to people...

  19. suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

    Horseshoe replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wait-are you saying a mother of one of the nurses you precepted actually called you to complain about how you were treating her child?! Please tell you me you told her that you don't discuss this...

  20. Expired New York State Nursing License

    Horseshoe replied to warnech's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't it be on their BON web

  21. suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

    Horseshoe replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Articles" are often just opinion pieces. Meh... This is more of the typical generation gap nonsense. "In my day, we...." and the new kids saying "No one understands/respects us..." This will go on...

  22. In fear of losing my license.

    Horseshoe replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    "Private" chats are not "social media" in the sense that FB, Twitter, and Instagram are and employers would not usually be privy to those if the two parties keep it private. However, anything you say...

  23. Social Class and Nursing

    Horseshoe replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    Only if you are a crappy nurse. Walk into a thoracic surgery unit, a cardiac unit, a neuro unit, a high risk L & D, among many other specialties, and try to do task oriented nursing only, and you...

  24. Social Class and Nursing

    Horseshoe replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    Mexico IS a Third World country. But that doesn't mean what you apparently think it

  25. What happens to your license if the school you previously attended shuts down?

    Horseshoe replied to jocelynpotano's topic in General Nursing

    That might explain why your school was closed
