  1. 1 year exp. Need resume feedback please

    MissM.RN replied to Dakeirus's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Something here is confusing me - you state you're in acute med-surg yet you list ventilator care as a skill. if you worked with patients on vents as an aide/CNA in school, then fair enough. If not, I...

  2. new grad..I beg your honest critique for my resume..pls

    MissM.RN replied to hopeseeker23's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Proper bed making? Patient interaction?? Those are not skills. Every human being involved in the nursing profession should know how to make a bed with hospital corners/draw sheets and be...

  3. How to overcome being "terminated" from previous job

    MissM.RN replied to comrlg's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    comrlg - "not eligible for rehire" at a particular hospital or institution usually means just that - not going to happen. sorry, but that is the case at my hospital. HR will not even think twice about...

  4. RESUME!!

    MissM.RN replied to odeth1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi odeth! 5 pages? no way. make it 1. do you feel ok with posting your revised resume here, with identifiers taken out? it will be easier to give a more specific critique, and I always find specifics...

  5. New Grad with recent DUI; denied licensure

    MissM.RN replied to nursingnerd25's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    OP, 0.22? after you were sleeping too?? That tells me your bac was probably higher when you put the keys in the ignition....and you still showed extremely poor judgement by getting behind the wheel in...

  6. Advice please!

    MissM.RN replied to RNurse2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    hi Rnurse2! so sorry you're going through this. I think it's great that you want to be a great nurse and have set your sights on that - some nurses sadly don't. That said, agree with previous posters....

  7. Critiques?

    MissM.RN replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congrats on a great GPA! I know that was hard :) Some of my thoughts: 1. delete "caring professional" and maybe that whole section. any hospital will assume you are caring if you went into nursing (i...

  8. New grad, looking into traveling nursing

    MissM.RN replied to sheebsy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    don't go into travel nursing without a solid two years of bare-minimum med-surg. ICU step down, telemetry would be better. good luck to

  9. ACLS class as a student? good or pointless?

    MissM.RN replied to procrastinator911's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    hi! don't bother and don't waste your cash. also, a lot of the acls material won't make sense unless you have been in a code situation, have experience with meds (like epi!) and unless you're going...

  10. Losing Hope.

    MissM.RN replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    AFwife, I'm sorry for what you're going through. I hate to say, but I agree with previous posters - if you're not able to communicate by phone very well, then I doubt acute care is for you, and I know...

  11. very complicated situation... please advice on this

    MissM.RN replied to tarotale's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm really happy for you! Though I'll give you my best advice here: take the med/surg tele job. ED is incredibly difficult and in a lot of ways like ICU work at times. You will definitely need ACLS...

  12. Where are new grads being hired right now?

    MissM.RN replied to vwgirl22's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with mhy12784....that is so awesome for you! I moved out of state for a job too, and not going to lie - it was hard for me and my husband. But I'm an absolutely firm believer that new grads...

  13. Pt Load & New Grad Burnout

    MissM.RN replied to naptimeRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    1:9-11 RN patient ratio? One word comes to mind: absurd. There is absolutely no way you can safely administer meds, after checking three times, allergies, dosages, explanation of rationale, etc. to 9...

  14. Applying for jobs while completing last semester?

    MissM.RN replied to Misseslloyd's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi MrsLloyd! You are not wasting your time!! If you want the best chance at working right after graduation, then you absolutely should keep applying now. A lot of new grad programs have incredibly...

  15. Nursing School is the New Law School - Almost 2 years and still no job

    MissM.RN replied to RN003's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So sorry RN003, this breaks my heart to hear about my fellow new grads. Yes, small town politics really suck. First question: are you a diploma or ADN nurse? if so, apply to online RN-BSN program...

  16. 450 Resumes sent. 0 call backs.

    MissM.RN replied to lsid16's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Whoa. 450 resumes out? I'm so sorry you're going through this. But let me ask you this: have you applied elsewhere than Illinois? I had to move in order to get my first job - but my hospital paid my...

  17. DHMC 2012 new grad programs

    MissM.RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone else would be interested in posting about their applications to Dartmouth Hitchcock? I had (what I think) was a good phone interview a week ago, but I haven't heard...

  18. Persistent vs. aggravating with HR?

    MissM.RN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi AN, Need some advice about dealing with hospital HR. I know this is an awful job market for any nurse, much less a new grad nurse. So I had a successful phone interview with a nurse recruiter, and...

  19. Med-Surg & Pharm for the THIRD time.

    MissM.RN replied to xObabytiggerr's topic in General Students

    Hi xObabytiggerr, I have some tried-and-true suggestions that have worked for me throughout my nursing program. I have a good GPA, pass everything, and passed the HESI on first try with no extra...

  20. Dartmouth-Hitchcock NRP... any news???

    MissM.RN replied to k1p1ssk's topic in General Nursing

    Hi guys, I might be able to offer some additional info. I was called for a phone interview back in May, and was told then that a lot of positions were already filled (yet I applied to the NRP maybe 1...

  21. Looking to relocate to central Vermont, concerned about pay/working conditions

    MissM.RN replied to acourser's topic in General Nursing

    Hi OP! The vermont thread isn't usually well read but I may be able to help. Central VT would be tough, in that you mainly have Copley and CVMC to choose from. Copley is quite small, so I'm not sure...

  22. Working RNs and the CNA are to blame for new graduate RN program shortages .

    MissM.RN replied to murs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OP, I don't think the management-person you talked to was being quite fair. It's always easy for administration to blame nurses, RRTs, etc for their "high salaries". Those admins make 100k a year, but...

  23. DHMC 2012 new grad programs

    MissM.RN replied to MissM.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been waiting too, I got a call back from the recruiter on Friday though. She said the OR was interested in interviewing me, and she'd call right back with a time. Still waiting that call :) Glad...

    MissM.RN replied to MissM.RN's topic in General Nursing

    No, I didn't! Did

  25. What is a phone interview like for a New Grad RN candidate?

    MissM.RN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi everyone! I'm very lucky, in that I have two phone interviews for New Grad RN residencies that both start in August/September. I graduate in August, but the phone interviews are next week. I assume...
