    NICU Orientation

    KJM-RN replied to babyRN0404's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I won't be starting in NICU until 2 weeks from now so I don't know the rules of preceptors in the NICU I'm going into, other than the 2 preceptors I am currently assigned to work with have many years...

    Resignation Notice

    KJM-RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have accepted a position in the hospital I have always wanted to work at. I am currently employed and have been getting mixed answers as to how much notice to give to my current employer. The new...

    Resignation Notice

    KJM-RN replied to KJM-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all of the responses. I called HR at my current employer and was told to give 4 weeks notice, this will ensure I receive pay out of my accrued paid time off. I also want to leave on good...

    Is my GPA important?

    KJM-RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I agree that GPA does matter. I have 2 years experience as an RN and recently went on an interview where my GPA was discussed during the interview. Not sure if it was a huge factor in me being...

    Med pass followed by state...

    KJM-RN posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am a new grad RN working in LTC (mostly in the short term rehab units, but I float to LTC as well). I will first admit that I do not want to be working in this field, but with an associates degree...

    Med pass followed by state...

    KJM-RN replied to KJM-RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is exactly my point. I get I did something wrong, according to their standards. I won't ever do it again, even though patients and residents get quite irritated when I have to wheel them back...

    new job/new grad/night shift

    KJM-RN replied to anashenwrath's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have recently started in a facility that sounds just like yours. On the subacute rehab units there is another nurse during the night, but LTC units have only one nurse. My ADON told me she doesn't...

    Does it matter which school I get BSN from to get into ICU?

    KJM-RN replied to b_m_prosepct's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    What about a "big-named" state school? Many state schools have great reputations. I wouldn't expect to get a job based upon the school you went to for your bachelors, but rather just having a BSN...

    Starting in a Nursing home vs. Starting in a Hospital

    KJM-RN replied to sunshyne17's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'll be starting my first nursing job in a nursing home doing subacute rehab in 2 days. Although it is far from my long term goal of being a Neonatal NP, I feel it will teach me a lot and give me a...

    ACLS certification

    KJM-RN replied to Rock1026's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wouldn't worry too much then. If they didn't give you the book before the class then they're probably going to walk you through everything during the class. It really was not half as bad as...

    ACLS certification

    KJM-RN replied to Rock1026's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just took ACLS as a new grad. I read most of the book before the class and feel like it was somewhat needed. Honestly the course wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Just make sure you...

    New Grads how is your job search going?

    KJM-RN replied to Roce20's topic in New York Nursing

    Sent out hundreds of applications to hospitals, drove all over to hand my résumé in, in person, no response. Put in one application to subacute rehab and got hired within a few weeks. Extend your...

    How Did You Get a Job at a North Shore-LIJ Hospital??

    KJM-RN replied to PurpleDelight's topic in New York Nursing

    How did you get the name and number of the recruiter? I can figure it out at other hospitals, but can't seem to figure out who the recruiters are for North Shore

    Interview question that was hard for me to answer

    KJM-RN replied to mizznurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think this could be answered from any part of your life, not just work. That is definitely a tricky question, but I assume they're trying to see how you think and react in times of

    New grad job situation in Maryland

    KJM-RN posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm a new grad RN from Long Island with an associates degree, working on a BSN (program started a week after graduation from associates). I'm interested in moving to Maryland, but wanted to obtain a...

    New grad RN and dialysis

    KJM-RN posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I graduated in May and passed the boards a few weeks ago. I have been applying to every hospital in my area (and beyond), as well as showing up at the recruiters office trying to land myself a...

    BSN patient outcomes

    KJM-RN replied to S.G.'s topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Many students also seek employment during nursing school as an intern/extern, CNA, PCT... That's another factor to take into consideration. This has probably been asked a million times, but if its not...

    How Did You Get a Job at a North Shore-LIJ Hospital??

    KJM-RN replied to PurpleDelight's topic in New York Nursing

    The only clinical experience I have is as a hospital volunteer, so I have zero experience either. I'm just trying to be really proactive with applying to any and all positions I'm eligible for and...

    How Did You Get a Job at a North Shore-LIJ Hospital??

    KJM-RN replied to PurpleDelight's topic in New York Nursing

    I would assume so based off of how they say they pick their candidates. I apply everyday as soon as positions are posted and have yet to receive a call though, but I only have an associates working...

    BSN patient outcomes

    KJM-RN replied to S.G.'s topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    A person with an RN-BSN may not have years experience either. I graduated in May with an associates and promptly started an RN-BSN program, with requirements to obtain my RN license within 6 months...

    Gaining experience other than volunteering!

    KJM-RN replied to laronicavan's topic in General Nursing

    I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure a PCT position in a neonatal unit is hard to come by as the RN does total patient care. Gaining experience in the hospital setting will help you to land a job...

    New grad RN and dialysis

    KJM-RN replied to KJM-RN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I haven't heard back from any of the dialysis positions I've applied to, but I'm definitely still interested in the field. Although I am attending a BSN program, it...
