    I think if you are honest in interviews they will understand. Look for something other than floor

    I feel truly sorry for new grads

    CrunchRN replied to Concerto_in_C's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Blah, blah, blah. Too many nursing schools. Profit, non-profit, whatever. Just too many. However, nobody who makes their living as part of that system will admit it because it might cost their...

    Patient abuse... To staff

    CrunchRN replied to lmccrn62's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Some people are just ugly and they will never ever "get it". You just have to smile to their face and then blow them off. Good for you being a manager who believes in her

    Waiting room

    CrunchRN replied to Marci4's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She did apologize. I think sometimes we forget how shocking medical stuff is to non-medical people. I would hope the majority would just feel empathy and hope the person gets

    Staying home with children for several years...?

    CrunchRN replied to 42346_nurse_'s topic in Nursing Career

    In my area if you do not have ongoing acute care experience it is VERY hard to come back to it. Even if you did FT or per diem at non-acute settings. So if you want to return to acute care then you...

    Is it worth it going to a private school for BSN?

    CrunchRN replied to coolinbysound's topic in General Students

    If you can do it for 30k in loans/debt that is a whole lot more reasonable over the long term than what you had previously. My advice would be to figure out exactly what your payments will be when...

    Is it worth it going to a private school for BSN?

    CrunchRN replied to coolinbysound's topic in General Students

    Not worth it, not worth it, not worth it. I understand your reasoning, but I have been paying home mortgages for 20 years and there is no way I could have ever done that and also had to pay off those...

    Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    CrunchRN replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    I think your way of presenting things in inflammatory little bites that are low on detail may be why people are a little wary... :) I am curious about what the schools motivation was to do this. Do...

    Getting Started By Volunteering

    CrunchRN replied to Natkat's topic in Research

    Not at all. Makes sense. With your nursing background you can probably find something if you start networking. Put together a letter stating your interest and skills and offer volunteer hours for...

    CrunchRN replied to sarahaldean's topic in Retired Nurses

    I think networking is they way to get a job when you have been out. Otherwise you kind of fall through the cracks. Also, may need to try non-acute options to get your foot in the

    CrunchRN replied to roseonye's topic in Texas Nursing
