Yeah, just like hiring managers don't read resumes before calling applicants..My resume self-intro clearly state: newly graduated RN yet I get calls about positions that clearly require experience only to be told yeah you need some experience before...

Thank you, all so much! I know they will hate me, but, oh well:-)

I just started a job in LTC. It seems the nurses don't know many of the diagnoses that their patients have. Being a newgrad nurse who is used to knowing each and every diagnosis that my patient has, I feel like it's a must to know your patient Hx. Bu...

Thank you, my fellow nurses:)

Thank you to all for your great responses!!

I'm a newly graduate RN and I know for sure that giving a dose other than what's ordered by the MD is definitely practicing medicine without a license. You absolutely can hold a med if needed, then inform the MD and document the reasons for holding ...

Hi, So, have you ever blanked in an interview, yet still get hired?? I mean, did you give a wrong answer to knowledge-related question??

Congratulations!!! Yes, honesty is the way to go! I did not get the job :/

Hello, I have an interview coming up and I was thinking to maybe wear a skirt with knee-hight boots (Both black in color). Do you guys think it's appropriate or not? Also, what about curly hair? appropriate styling for an interview or not?

Hello everybody! I've been offered a contract job at a correctional facility (Psych ward). I am a new grad RN and so I don't have the luxury of a choice as you guys know..I am a bit scarred but I know that it's something to put on my resume.. Anyone ...
