    New Grad Resume, Cover Letter, 4 Offers

    ixchel replied to 2mint's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You need to google nursing buzz words. Look them over. Think about ways you've done each and every one of those buzzwords in your prior jobs. Prior work experience absolutely is relevant. You just...

    Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    ixchel replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    I am having the hardest time tapping "quote" and getting a response to post. This is really glitchy today. OP, I do not regret asking if you are a nurse. It is not childish, damaging, or whatever the...

    I love this post. I had a Lung Ca admitted for pneumonia. Family stayed with him 24 hrs. They loved me because I listened. They felt blown off frequently, so we got along well. One night, he just...

    "stop isolating yourself"

    ixchel replied to strawberryfields's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my head, after I read a story by you, I secretly end it with, "then I popped a cap in his ass," and imagine you standing in glorious rock star 80s poses with smoke/steam billowing behind you as car...

    Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    ixchel replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This, and OP is being "punished" by being put on night shift, rather than the rude gossipy nurses being dealt with or being "punished". Frankly, night shift is where all the fun nurses hide...

    ixchel replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    What is a CI? I imagine I am late to this party and probably am beating a dead horse (I've read no other responses yet), but see where your mind has gone FIRST? Can you palpate a pulse? Is the...

    ixchel replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    First, YOU ARE A WARRIOR!!!!! This first year will damn near destroy you. And just when you think you really can't deal with the frustration of it anymore, you will have an "a-ha!!!!!" moment that you...

    ixchel replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I work far away to avoid the awkwardness as well. It's rare I see anyone, but when I do, for some reason it's always the really terrible people who I would shield my children from. I hide to avoid...

    ixchel replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    My AN friends, our WILTW threads do have a process involved for who does the OPs. I am ALWAYS excited for someone else to host because we all see nursing from different viewpoints, especially across...

    ixchel replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    In theory, sitting shouldn't be this awful if all of your spine bits and pieces are okay. It might be a good idea to get this checked out. (Says the girl who just had lumbar fusion after spinal...

    ixchel replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    The two words in my brain after reading this are "nurse liaison." In healthcare, education (especially to naysayers) is the way to bridge these gaps. I've had one patient go GIP on my shift and...
