  1. New Grad Interview Protocol?

    rumwynnieRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I just had an interview this morning, and I'm wondering how to give the nurse manager a thank you card? Should I have had a thank you card at the ready before the interview? She also didn't give me a...

  2. Working with a nurse who isn't allowed to admin narcotics?

    rumwynnieRN replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Can you print the disciplinary action with a typed note saying, "Hey she can't supervise students" or whatever seems more appropriate. I normally dislike the whole, "Hey you don't know who I am, I'm...

  3. New Grad Interview Protocol?

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

    Thank you. I wish I had known that before -- I'm fairly certain I didn't get the position (or well, I'm trying not to get too overly excited or have my hopes up). If I can land another interview, I...

  4. New Grad Interview Protocol?

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

    I've seen some people do that -- they have the card with them to give to the interviewer, but that always struck me as odd so I never followed that observation, plus it seemed, er, well,

  5. New nursing student

    rumwynnieRN replied to Apodomvin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a lot of classmates who were moms to children less than 10. It's doable. As for the next part of your question, if you should pursue it now in your area, that depends. There isn't a nursing...

  6. RN to BSN student: VNA clinical question!

    rumwynnieRN replied to dsRN85's topic in General Nursing

    Have you done a windshield assessment of the community? What are the boundaries for the

  7. Applying for jobs....wait after NCLEX or apply before?

    rumwynnieRN replied to roxybabe84's topic in General Students

    It depends. Find out if the places you are applying will hire you without your license. Some of the hospitals where I'm from were beginning to move away from hiring you as a GN and wouldn't let you...

  8. Community college then university, or just university? How much time?

    rumwynnieRN replied to savannh's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What I forgot to mention also is, if you're planning on cutting costs, I think I would stay away from private schools. The private nursing school in my homecity had an outrageous tuition, even for...

  9. Community college then university, or just university? How much time?

    rumwynnieRN replied to savannh's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If your goal is to join the Navy, I would speak to a Naval Recruiter or a school with an NROTC program, more so the latter. I've heard the Navy wants to reduce the number of nursing scholarships, but...

  10. Can visitors be 'forced' to wear PPE?

    rumwynnieRN replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    It's the flu -- they're mentality is what someone else, "I was already exposed." I think I'd be more worried if they had acinetorbacter, and they weren't wearing PPE. Otherwise, eh. You did your job,...

  11. Job offer problem - Who would have thought? Time sensitive, please take a look.

    rumwynnieRN replied to HolyPeas's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd go with the rehab facility. If the other place calls, my teachers said you can quit at the rehab place "properly", even with short notice such as calling or writing a letter. No, it's not the best...

  12. Question for any DOD GS salaried nurses

    rumwynnieRN replied to RunninOnCoffee's topic in Government, Military

    I stand corrected on

  13. Nursing schools and job market in Texas

    rumwynnieRN replied to GivingLove's topic in Texas Nursing

    It depends on where you're moving. I'm from Houston (moved to Arkansas right after nursing school for my significant other), and I have two job interviews lined up. They're not my dream jobs, but I...

  14. New Grad Failed Lift Test

    rumwynnieRN replied to KerriaBoo22's topic in Nursing Career

    Well he's informative. I hope you find another job soon

  15. New Grad Failed Lift Test

    rumwynnieRN replied to KerriaBoo22's topic in Nursing Career

    Did he try to correct you? I would've appreciated some constructive criticism with a

  16. New Grad Failed Lift Test

    rumwynnieRN replied to KerriaBoo22's topic in Nursing Career

    I believe they do this at the VA. I don't which other hospitals require this (my mental health teacher told us they tested

  17. New Grad Failed Lift Test

    rumwynnieRN replied to KerriaBoo22's topic in Nursing Career

    ...er...how did he want you to lift

  18. Question for any DOD GS salaried nurses

    rumwynnieRN replied to RunninOnCoffee's topic in Government, Military

    I asked about the same job at the base where my boyfriend is stationed. Since the job is through DOD, the other time before Congress and the President agreed to anything and we lost our credit rating,...

  19. Anti-intellectual & hyper-sensitive. WHY?

    rumwynnieRN replied to mclennan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll admit I'm a bit sensitive, but I've figured out you don't help yourself being hypersensitive to everything. I'm sorry she called you a *****, and god forbid you go out of your way to tell her to...

  20. Failed NCLEX RN 3 times, the max in my state

    rumwynnieRN replied to Psteph's topic in General Nursing

    Hm. I'll echo what two other posters said -- I wonder how you're studying and take the NCLEX in another state. I agree also with what another poster said: NCLEX isn't real nursing. It's a game. Did...

  21. Bed Baths & Other Nursing Arts Still Taught? (Speaking of Wet Wipe Baths)

    rumwynnieRN replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Students

    All of those are still taught. I made beds my last semester of nursing school (I liked to stay busy when none of the patients needed anything), and gave lots of bed baths, both wipes and the...

  22. RN Reporting To A Nurses' Aide?

    rumwynnieRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    From some weird practice perspective, I see why a researcher would prefer to work with someone he's known for years (why he gravitates towards the CNA), but at the end of the day, those are still your...

  23. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    rumwynnieRN replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Eh, they're just TV shows. I use to like some of them, but I'm one of those people who will say, "Um...yeah...er, but that's not, but why...oh god I can't watch this anymore." I think ER was the only...

  24. I have a question and hope someone can help

    rumwynnieRN replied to ajburge's topic in General Nursing

    No, your BS in criminal justice does not equal a BSN. It might be useful if you decide to become a forensic nurse, but no, it does not mean you have a BSN. Where I'm from, BSNs are preferred, but from...

  25. Should I become a Nurse?

    rumwynnieRN replied to bobt89's topic in General Nursing

    You'll just have to decide your poison. Of course if you look on here, you'll see many of the members venting, but this is a nursing forum. We have to vent to people who will "get" it. It doesn't mean...
