  1. What is the dress code at Phoenix Children's?

    cindyloowho replied to cindyloowho's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They have finished up their first round of interviews and have apparently been doing some more interviews this week. No, they have not just hired internal applicants, cause I don't work there and I...

    cindyloowho replied to KBnurse2B's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, cool, I amtheskier! Is this interview for the GAPP New Grad program, or is it for just a regular position? That's great if they are still interviewing for the GAPP! wildcat, have you heard...

    cindyloowho replied to JenTheRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Did she take her baby with her??? My son and I were packed up and loaded in the car exactly 5 hours after giving birth. But I had him at a freestanding birth center, so that was routine for their...

  4. Phoenix Children's Hospital New Grad Program (GAPP) Summer 2011

    cindyloowho replied to KBnurse2B's topic in First Year After Licensure

    UofA, the job will show up in the "Open Positions" page once listed. It will be under a "patient care:nursing" category and ours was listed as something like GAPP and new graduate nurse, etc. I have...

  5. second degree (not to list it on my resume)

    cindyloowho replied to Excitedfor2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's a blanket statement and will not likely apply to every hiring manager. I have specifically been told that my previous BA was considered a plus. But regardless, even if it is not a plus in...

  6. Severe lower abdominal pain

    cindyloowho replied to NickB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The pain experienced by your uterus contracting down after giving birth typically increases with each pregnancy. It gets more efficient at contracting down faster and harder and so many women state...

  7. contract

    cindyloowho replied to STL2008, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Employers have a right to decide who they want to hire and employees have a right to decide where they want to work. Slavery was outlawed a long time ago. I think signing a contract to stay just...

  11. Appropriate or overkill?

    cindyloowho replied to NurseMercy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah....no food. Just yourself and your docuents :-) The bagels would be a silly

  12. Who is finding nursing school way easier than you were told it would be?

    cindyloowho replied to SayNoTo DNC's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's different for everyone. I never opened a book all through school and graduated with a very high GPA. But I also had classmates that studied their butt off and still couldn't understand the...

  13. second degree (not to list it on my resume)

    cindyloowho replied to Excitedfor2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would leave it on. I have 2 degrees as well, and my first degree is always mentioned to me in the interview conversations as a definate plus. I am a new grad (DEC 10), but have gotten 2 jobs in...

    cindyloowho replied to KBnurse2B's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yay!!! I got a call this evening as well! I practically couldn't breath when the recruiter called. She said that I was offered a med-surg position but didn't know what unit yet. Apparently they are...

  19. Give me the numbers regarding "Nursing Shortage"

    cindyloowho replied to kalevra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The nursing shortages stated by studies are calculated by taking the number of nurses per capita by population. I don't have numbers, but the department of health and human resources still calculates...

  20. To put school on my resume or not?

    cindyloowho replied to pitaya's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well...sort of. Did you have any credits from that school transfered to your current college? If so, then yes, if someone asks for a list of EVERY school you have attended, then you would need to list...

  21. To put school on my resume or not?

    cindyloowho replied to pitaya's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, don't put it on your resume because it will just raise red flags and questions. Having a year more of clinicals is of no importance to potential employers. And it is your resume...you are free to...

  23. Things you'd never have done before...

    cindyloowho replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, we are allowed gel nails as it is considered just a strong polish. And no, you don't get it filled...you take it off and replace it every 2 weeks. It doesn't chip or peel, thus making it harbor...

  24. NEW GRAD NURSE - should i get a CNA???

    cindyloowho replied to studentkj's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah...why in the world are you waiting so long??? The one girl in my class that took months off to study is the one girl that failed NCLEX. All of us that took it right away passed with flying...

  25. Things you'd never have done before...

    cindyloowho replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never had manicures, just painted my own nails because I can't stand to have bare nails. But with washing my hands so much, the polish won't even last 1 shift on my thin nails...so now I get gel...
