  1. petite scrubs

    serein replied to jordanmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think I have found the end of our problems! Go to uniformcity.com and they actually sell petite pants! They have XSM! I think I'll order one pair and see how they fit before I order any

  2. How many new grad associate degree nurses have landed jobs recently?

    serein replied to Will Never's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm from central florida and it took me about 2 months to find a job. I graduated in may, passed the NCLEX end of june and I'm starting this month. It was sort of difficult here to find a job also....

  4. National Board of Nursing

    serein replied to Retired RB's topic in General Nursing

    I hear that not every state gets the same kind of questions. For ex: since I graduated from a nursing school in Florida we weren't taught on how to care for frostbite which I'm sure you encounter in...

  5. Praying for favor:Job and Boards

    serein replied to NENE RN's topic in General Nursing

    serein replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats on the new job! That's so horrible about your first job but I don't think you did anything wrong. You're a new RN, you're SUPPOSE to ask questions and your staff is suppose to support you and...

    serein replied to Morainey's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Kimesha101-same here!! I wouldn't mind gaining a few pounds either. That's a never ending task for me. :/ It was difficult finding a job and I'm very grateful I found such a good one even though it's...

  16. night shift headache

    serein replied to birdie22's topic in General Nursing

    For me, I know I get extremely bad headaches when I don't drink enough water or eat enough. I've checked with a doctor and he's told me dehydration is one of the most common cause of headache so I...

  17. New RN job... NO orientation!!!

    serein replied to Epona's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's terrible! I can't imagine being a new RN and not getting any orientation. If you came in a couple of times for "training" before I'm pretty sure they should have paid you. Can you talk to the...

    serein replied to luvapug's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a similar situation as you and I chose job#2! But I don't have children or a husband and my main focus was getting a good job that would lay the foundation of my career. If I did, I know that...

    serein replied to FutureRN_NP's topic in General Nursing

    serein replied to serein's topic in General Nursing
