  1. Does it sound like I got the job?

    bathrobemom replied to bathrobemom's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Today I got an offer letter and hiring info in an email. Hurray!!! Didn't know that would arrive by email - feeling kinda old right now :). I'm so

  2. New Grad - Just got a job at Starbucks. Help.

    bathrobemom replied to NightWatch's topic in Nursing Career

    If you apply online you can do that at any time during the day, it doesn't have to be during normal business hours. Do people still apply in person? I didn't think anyone did that anymore. That...

  3. LPN student in fall just wanting advice

    bathrobemom replied to lpn2bekie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think what we had to learn for school wasn't hard, it's that there was so much of it. Tons and tons of reading and studying. There's no social life if you're in nursing school basically. My first...

  4. Can I Become a Registered Nurse While Being TERRIBLE At Math?

    bathrobemom replied to HarleyQuinn's topic in General Students

    You sound like me. I was always good at reading, English, history, etc., but I could look at 2+2 =5 for an hour and not see the error. I tested out of English when I went to college, but had to take...

  5. First CNA job

    bathrobemom replied to Angela89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I can see how her criticism would sting. You did a really great job that day, even the nurse recognized that. On top of that you helped train students. You'd think they'd be grateful for the chance...

  6. Does it sound like I got the job?

    bathrobemom replied to bathrobemom's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's what I thought, you only have drug testing done if you're hired so I'm really confused. My interviewer said she'd call later in the week. Well, the week came and went with no phone call. I...

  7. You will all probably hate me for this

    bathrobemom replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Couldn't agree more. I don't get how people can be so passionate about helping patients and yet couldn't care less how they treat the rest of the team. People are people no matter who they are and...

  8. med math help!

    bathrobemom replied to JennFig33's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    DosageHelp.com - Helping Nursing Students Learn Dosage Calculations I used that site before every exam to study. If you get the problem set up correctly - all the units cancel out - then you just...

  9. Just got accepted into LPN program, but I have 2 pending misdemeanor charges

    bathrobemom replied to Jeeeyan's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    My school told us that we should report anything right away. Not telling and hiding seemed to be more of a bad thing. I don't know if it depends on the school. Either way, if you self report you...

  10. Does it sound like I got the job?

    bathrobemom replied to bathrobemom's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Good point!

  11. Electronic or snail mail thank-you?

    bathrobemom posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've had a lot of questions lately and would like to thank everyone for being so helpful. Hopefully this is one of my last questions as far as getting a job! I had an interview and never got any...

  13. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    bathrobemom replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    "If you don't feel appreciated". Good grief, I thought you wanted advice, you're not required to take it

  14. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    bathrobemom replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I refer to people as "my patient", "my client", "my person", "my aide". They are all part of the team I am working with for the day. I wasn't born a nurse, I was a home health aide for 4 years and I...

  15. I Got Head Lice

    bathrobemom replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    When my daughter got lice we did one lice treatment (something from Walmart, don't remember the name), then waited two more weeks to do the second one (I think that's what the directions were anyway)....

  16. Phone interview

    bathrobemom replied to Melfldrn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My experience with phone interviews (two lol) they let you know immediately if they are moving you to an in-person interview. For one of mine they came out and said that's what they were doing. For...

  17. Dosage calculation

    bathrobemom replied to iryna1983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school's skills lab had packets with practice problems. Seems like your school should or does have something similar. I used this site to practice before my calculation exams DosageHelp.com -...

  18. No experience, should I take a shift at a LTC facility?

    bathrobemom posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm looking for a new job. Currently I work for a home health agency. I was just notified that there is a shift open at a LTC facility. I have never been there. Aside from clinicals, I have zero...

  19. No experience, should I take a shift at a LTC facility?

    bathrobemom replied to bathrobemom's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the advice, excellent point about my employer suggesting it. Unfortunately, someone snagged the hours before I did. I'll be faster next

  20. stopped at 85

    bathrobemom replied to mariafromcali's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got the good pop-up, tried before 24 hours had passed. I did not use the actual expiration date on my card based on advice I've seen in other threads. Supposedly you won't get charged if there's a...

  21. Took NCLEX Yesterday, Just Checked my Board of Nursing Just Now....

    bathrobemom replied to jns1md's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats!

  22. Asking professors for references

    bathrobemom replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    I did this. I emailed an instructor and asked, she wrote a nice email back to me. My references all had to fill out an email from a third party site and she completed hers very promptly. I don't...

  23. Engagement Ring help!

    bathrobemom replied to a_nurses_bf's topic in General Nursing

    I don't wear my ring to work because I could scratch someone with it and for infection control purposes. It rips gloves very easily. It also slides off easily when it's wet. When I'm working I...

  24. skills lab

    bathrobemom replied to UnicoRN93's topic in General Students

    I had a hard time with skills. I watched You Tube videos, read about the skills in my textbooks, and practiced at home. We had sheets with the basic steps outlined given to us. I gave my husband...

  25. References need to include 2 supervisors or above

    bathrobemom posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have a phone interview tomorrow. If I'm selected to move on in the process I have to provide 5 references. Copy and pasted directions from my letter: "if you are chosen to be considered further,...
