    gumbi_12 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi my fellow nurses, I just started a new job, I'll be on the floor for the first time very soon. I was given a HUGE binder and several more power points to go with it from the classes I've had. How...

    gumbi_12 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm at a total loss...I'm older, late 40's, I got my license Aug. 2018, left one job and was fired from another one recently. With the 2nd one, I couldn't handle the fast pace of the joint post-op...

  4. Honesty on resume, now no job.

    gumbi_12 replied to gumbi_12's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, I know it's a real problem. That's we exactly why I feel like I've been ran over by a Mack truck. But my job prospects are better than before I got the degree. At this point, I'll work for a...

    gumbi_12 replied to gumbi_12's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm hoping to get a job in a decent hospital on a medsurg floor, renal, rehab, to get clinical experience before looking for research jobs. My goal is to be a research

  7. RN MGR Told me I'm too old.

    gumbi_12 replied to gumbi_12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't think I made a mistake not to shadow. It was apparent by speaking to her on the phone the manager had NO intention of considering me for the position, and our exchange was pretty tense. I...

  8. RN MGR Told me I'm too old.

    gumbi_12 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated last May with my BSN, mid 40's. I had a phone interview, the RN Mgr didn't remember me at first, but then she did from a recent career fair. She told me the unit was "very heavy" and...

  9. RN MGR Told me I'm too old.

    gumbi_12 replied to gumbi_12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know it sounds bad, but I have a BA in another field and I took it off my resume and I've gotten many calls now. They only want information relevant to the job. No one has criticized me for leaving...

  10. RN MGR Told me I'm too old.

    gumbi_12 replied to gumbi_12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, unfortunately, ageism is very real. But I never, ever imagined I'd experience ageism at 47! I know it's not young, it's not geriatric either. I'm sick of people looking at me like I have two...

  11. RN MGR Told me I'm too old.

    gumbi_12 replied to gumbi_12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm a little chubby, but I do hot yoga. But the point is they judged me only by appearances, I don't have grey hear, just some strands here and there, I was dressed with an expensive suit at the...

  13. Generalist MSN to Post-Master's Cert possible?

    gumbi_12 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi Everybody! I have a B.A. in Advertising, currently in a 2nd degree Generalist MSN program. We're told we'll need further schooling afterwards to get an NP degree. A couple of people have told me...

  14. Generalist MSN to Post-Master's Cert possible?

    gumbi_12 replied to gumbi_12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Therein lies all the confusion! This entry-level MSN program does not award an BSN, but yes, we are allowed to take the NCLEX after we graduate. There's a number of programs like this. I think they...

    gumbi_12 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello, I posted this thread on here b/c I wanted to hear from actual NP's. (Not people from admissions, financial, etc.) I'm 44 and want to be an FNP. I have a B.A. not in nursing. I'm in a Generic...

  16. Generalist MSN to Post-Master's Cert possible?

    gumbi_12 replied to gumbi_12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you for your reply. No, I'm not getting my BSN along the way. I'll be graduating as an "Advanced Generalist". BUT, an adviser from another school told me very few of my Gen. MSN classes will...

    gumbi_12 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, I'm freaking out. I enrolled in a Spanish class this summer so their system would let me enroll for A&P II in the Fall 2013. I forgot to drop the Spanish class (my mom's cancer came bk 2...

  19. I'm turning 25 soon and I want to be a nurse, am I kidding myself?

    gumbi_12 replied to christinem2388's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on how bad you want it. If you want to be a nurse badly enough, you can make it happen. When I face things like waitlists, I see them as detours, not roadblocks. I'm 42, I didn't do...

    gumbi_12 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm starting a Direct-Entry MSN Program at Mount St. Joseph in Delhi, OH. I'll graduate as a generalist though. How do I become a Nurse Practioner then? I've done a tone of research and I still don't...

  23. Confused about being a NP after MSN.

    gumbi_12 replied to gumbi_12's topic in Ohio Nursing

    No, I am not an RN now. I don't have a B.A. in nursing either. The program at MSJ offers students with a non-nursing B.A. to get their MSN. Is a school with a Clinical Advance Track better? Thank...

    gumbi_12 replied to gumbi_12's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I want to be able to work in Pediatrics or Oncology, so I don't know if I want to do Administration or Education. If I get my MSN from this school does that mean that I won't be doing any clinical...
