    I feel like I'm too old for this

    CrunchRN replied to Lpn2014's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had a rough time through my teens also. I didn't even start my pre-reqs until I was 26. Then I worked full-time and took a full load at the community college. By age 30 I was an RN. Totally...

    New Grad RN Training- Take it or Leave it?

    CrunchRN replied to aznbc105's topic in Nursing Career

    My decision would be based on how hard the local area is for a new grad to find a job and if you could afford to do

    MDs dont own the physician title

    CrunchRN replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Interesting. I don't consider non-physicians physicians, but would have no problem referring to any doctoral level medical professional as "doctor". Heck, I work with tons of PhD's that I refer to...

    Can you work straights days?

    CrunchRN replied to IcySageNurse's topic in General Nursing

    That is really awful. I have no idea why they would want to do rotating shifts. There are easier ways to manage staffing

    Older new grad, no employment history, shy, gay, good academics

    CrunchRN replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    Be yourself, don't mention anything personal. Just not part of the whole interview and get hired process. Concerning the no previous employment I would just say that I was in school the whole time...

    Can you work straights days?

    CrunchRN replied to IcySageNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Staff nurses almost always are required to do every 2nd or 3rd weekend in hospitals. As a newer grad you probably cannot get around that with an acute care

    CrunchRN replied to j_tay1981's topic in General Nursing

    Just view it as a temporary position and an opportunity to learn as many skills as you can and that you will move on some time in the near future. When you are ready and feel you really have the...

    Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

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

    When interviewing candidates "older" workers often have a track record of reliability and effectiveness that is very appealing. Even if it wasn't health care related. Younger workers can be more of...

    CrunchRN replied to Liverpoollover's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you are right. Lots of new grads and lots of hospital downsizing. I have heard that you may have better luck outside the NY metro area from other posters. Maybe you should just say...

    How much vomiting happens on an acute rehab floor?

    CrunchRN replied to starryeyed7's topic in Rehabilitation

    Repeated exposure will desensitize you so go for it. And just remember that you need to help the patient and your own feelings need to be put on hold. You will do fine. I hate vomit too. Avoid at...

    From Bedside to Bench? Maybe Bedside and Bench?

    CrunchRN replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You would actually need to get your PhD in biomedical sciences most likely and your RN (and NP). That is if you wish to be a PI who does human subjects research vs nursing process related
