  5. 2011 Job Search in Albuquerque

    emilyBABSNRN replied to emilyBABSNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Generally people who are hired as per-diem/prn nurses don't get benefits so it doesn't necessarily mean you have to work part-time. If a unit just doesn't have a high enough census, it's not in their...

  8. Are some people just not cut out for ICU?

    emilyBABSNRN replied to TigerGalLE's topic in MICU, SICU

    This is a little off-topic, but what do you all think are good qualities in an ICU nurse then, besides having good bedside manner? I have over one year as a tele RN but had to move to a new state and...

  10. how did they know I was in the hospital??

    emilyBABSNRN replied to its_meee's topic in General Nursing

    If the hospital has EMR they can look back to see who viewed your electronic chart if you are concerned someone saw private information. Privacy is a big issue. So sorry for everyone's loss! May...

  11. Is there any place hiring new grads?

    emilyBABSNRN replied to cisa04's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't necessarily take the first job that comes to you...ie LTC. Generally a hospital wants 1 year ACUTE care experience. Take a rehab position then consider a lateral transfer over LTC if you...

    emilyBABSNRN replied to WonderRN's topic in Emergency

    Once the pt is stabilized with IV push, they start a drip to make sure the patient doesn't flip back....are you sure that isn't what they were doing? Protocol I believe is to "bolus" and then start a...

  14. Private Loan Debt Stressed Out New Grad! HELP!

    emilyBABSNRN replied to LovelyRain's topic in General Nursing

    I know several people in your same boat. This country is just coming out of a recession. If I found a job in the depths of the recession, you can find one now. I just read an article in the Wall...

    emilyBABSNRN replied to cummings 41's topic in General Students

    While I would love to argue with all of you until you are satisfied with your pension for public humiliation, I am not on allnurses.com to make enemies or fulfill a vendetta. Good luck and happy...

    emilyBABSNRN replied to cummings 41's topic in General Students

  17. expelled for academic dishonesty

    emilyBABSNRN replied to cummings 41's topic in General Students

    One thing I will agree with you on is that people will try to get out of punishment. Of course they would, they have a lot to lose! They clearly didn't plan ahead to study enough, so why would they...

  18. Weakness for an answer in a job interview

    emilyBABSNRN replied to Critsplace's topic in General Nursing

    I do not recommend the trite and over-used "perfectionist". A lot of nurses are Type-A personalities that like things a certain way. They hear this answer a lot. I would not use that one. They...

  19. Weakness for an answer in a job interview

    emilyBABSNRN replied to Critsplace's topic in General Nursing

    I would go out and get a book from the library that talks about these issues. I recently read a book about the tips that nurse recruiters and HRs use to get you to disclose possible flaws in your...

  22. Please help me god will bless you a hundred folds.

    emilyBABSNRN replied to nursetobe27's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is an old post, but my best advice (I passed the NCLEX RN on the first time) Is to take a lot of practice questions and read the reason why you got it wrong. It could be that the OP had too much...

  23. I like learning about diseases but hate nursing

    emilyBABSNRN replied to PraiseMariahCarey's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, its a good chance that the lack of daylight and sunshine is what is causing you to feel depressed. Seasonal affective disorder maybe. I worked straight nights as an RN and it is hard...

  25. expelled for academic dishonesty

    emilyBABSNRN replied to cummings 41's topic in General Students
