  2. Thanks. I just know the nurse recruiter is going to (politely) ask why I'm declining the offer - I'm just unsure what is the nicest way to say "because I'm holding out for something
  3. Thank you for your thorough
  4. I'm a recent grad with my BSN, in the process of job hunting. The last time I took my BLS/AED was 2 years ago and I was in nursing school. Those certifications will be expiring soon. Do hospitals...

  6. I'm a recent grad RN and today a nurse recruiter called me and scheduled an interview that will take place in a few days. In her e-mail she wrote "Please bring as many of the pre-employment forms in...
  7. Definitely not snarky. Do you think it looks ok if I e-mail to ask her? I don't want her to interpret that as being clueless and tarnish first impressions. What do you
  8. I am a newly licensed RN in NYC looking for my first nursing job. Can anyone tell me if this cover letter is okay/what a new RN type of cover letter is supposed to be like? Thanks so much!! [name...

  15. I'm still a nursing student so I'm probably not very well versed in hospital politics regarding employees. Are the residents considered as if they are superiors of the RN? I love your comeback to one...

  24. I saw that same video of the girl recommending Med Surg made Incredibly Easy. I bought it and so far it's been really helpful. My textbook for class is so dry and it's hard for me to concentrate while...
