  2. So confusing and overwhelming

    kaydensmom01 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know that it is hard for new grads to get jobs, and feel bad for complaining about this, but I am just so very overwhelmed. I am fortunate to live an a area where RN's are in demand (especially for...

  3. Disillusioned, stressed, regretting nursing?

    kaydensmom01 replied to msygrnbw's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am also feeling overwhelmed with everything that needs done and the amount of time to do it. I am a new grad in a SNF and only had 4 shifts of orientation and my next shift I will be on my own,...

  5. Should I find a new job asap?

    kaydensmom01 replied to Kaysmom8's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    "Overexageration"? Whatever you want to think.... I'm not some naive child that believes nursing is rainbows and butterflies, I'm simply trying to find out the norm for a SNF. I've only ever had...

  6. Should I find a new job asap?

    kaydensmom01 replied to Kaysmom8's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You are not alone with worrying about working in a possibly dangerous facility. I just started my first job yesterday in a SNF and was told by the nurse training me that we don't need to do...

  8. New grad- nursing home-After interview no call back

    kaydensmom01 replied to Unique rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with this. It is very difficult to understand your post, and I think following up 3 times is very inappropriate. I think that if they were interested than that could have even ruined it, you...

  9. New grad RN seeking first nursing job

    kaydensmom01 replied to RetrieverGirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Personally I don't think that it is dangerous, that is how most facilities are that I interviewed with. Several of my nursing school friends work on such units and love

  11. Worth complaining about or just whiny?

    kaydensmom01 replied to melc0305's topic in General Students

  12. Are LPN's going to be phased back into the hospital settings?

    kaydensmom01 replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No one said that LPN's are not needed. The OP specifically asked about hospital systems, and everyone gave their opinion and said what is occurring in their area. No one said that they are being...

  13. What do you wear to an interview for a RN position?

    kaydensmom01 replied to tortorRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wear black dresspants, a black opened jacket, with a blue dress top that has a small detail on the front with ruching (the solid blue one in the link-not anything with a crazy pattern), and...

  14. What do you wear to an interview for a RN position?

    kaydensmom01 replied to tortorRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wear black dresspants, a black opened jacket, with a blue dress top that has a small detail on the front with ruching, and mid-heels that I can walk very well in. I wear my hair down, clean...

  15. Nursing Student reading the hard to find a job after grad posts

    kaydensmom01 replied to amberbay_19's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am in Ohio and there are a lot of job opportunities here for new grad's in my area. I'm a recent ADN RN and am having no trouble finding a job. After one month of looking I have gotten 4 interviews,...

  16. Are LPN's going to be phased back into the hospital settings?

    kaydensmom01 replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No I was not taught that LPN's are bad and RN's are good. You seem as if you are trying to assume that about me because I brought up the point that although RN's and LPN's are both NURSES, there is a...

  17. Are LPN's going to be phased back into the hospital settings?

    kaydensmom01 replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Maybe they would go for the cheaper route if patient outcomes were the same, but it has been proven that there is a higher infection and mortality rate with LPN's compared to RN's. BMC Health...

    kaydensmom01 replied to baymar1967's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got licensed in February, started applying for jobs at the end of February, and have had 4 interveiws, 3 offers and will be working soon! I am about an hour and fifteen minutes from Cleveland so if...

  19. Local hospital now says "BSN or MSN preferred" for all bedside positions?!

    kaydensmom01 replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Oh okay so your nursing program taught you how to pop pills, give injections, hang fluids but did not *teach* you about what you were popping, injecting, and hanging? Your school did not teach you...

    kaydensmom01 replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  21. Would healthcare be considered a "hospital setting"?

    kaydensmom01 replied to BrianaMD's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you were not hired as a LPN in a hospital, then no volunteer experience would not count as hospital

  22. Local hospital now says "BSN or MSN preferred" for all bedside positions?!

    kaydensmom01 replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So your ADN program did not have patho and pharm built into it? Highly, highly doubtful since it has to in order to be approved by any Board of

  23. Did you get to choose your Clinicals site/schedule?

    kaydensmom01 replied to Stacilator's topic in General Students

    Nope, we did not get to choose or

  24. Local hospital now says "BSN or MSN preferred" for all bedside positions?!

    kaydensmom01 replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I also think that the BSN is the better degree, which is why I will have mine soon. But in my area there are no differences between ADN and BSN "nursing" classes (ob, peds, med-surg, etc). My ADN was...

  25. Local hospital now says "BSN or MSN preferred" for all bedside positions?!

    kaydensmom01 replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well I can assure you that they went over patho and pharm, even if it was built into the program. How can you think that they are not learning the same patho and pharm as you just because it is not a...
