    So your boss/manager tells you...

    wish_me_luck replied to mikeb123's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with other posters. We learned that nurses typically do not do foot care (not for lack of wanting to but because of skin integrity issues, etc.) unless there is a physician order (then, it's...

    Is it RN,BSN or BSN,RN

    wish_me_luck replied to ava'smomRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's BSN, RN because you list your highest degree obtained first due to the degree not being taken away from you; you can take a license

    Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    wish_me_luck replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    amen, biggy! Once you are offered a job, the interview no longer matters. However, some people tend to master interviews (job hoppers, perhaps???) and aren't that interested in the job and others have...

    wish_me_luck replied to stasiastar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Think positive!!! I am testing in like 2 weeks and I am using Saunders. I am telling myself, the day I take boards will be the day I am a nurse. That makes me excited thinking about it. Instead of...

    Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    wish_me_luck replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    ElSea, to me, if they were making an effort to become clean and change, that speaks volumes to me. I don't think people should ask for weekends and stuff off; but don't knock people who have a past...

    Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    wish_me_luck replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    BrandonLPN, I am offended at the comment "don't list jobs you worked for a couple of months". The reason why this offends me is because I just finished an internship/Americorps position that was only...

    HELP! Submitting declaratory order

    wish_me_luck replied to dakotabear's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh, ok. They want info regarding that situation and a statement from you about how you've cleaned up your act and how to prove you won't do it again, that sort of thing. You need to consult with legal...

    HELP! Submitting declaratory order

    wish_me_luck replied to dakotabear's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am confused what you are asking. Are you saying they ran a check and found this background and they want a statement to decide whether you are eligible? Also, I highly suggest retaining an attorney....

    FIRST travel assignment...afraid I have been low balled!!!

    wish_me_luck replied to docpsychrn's topic in Travel

    I think I understand it, OP. Okay, here's what I think. First, you have to realize who you are replacing. Many places it's not only that they have a hard time finding nurses, they can't get...

    RN Pre-Employment Tests =(

    wish_me_luck replied to Sunf1owerRN's topic in General Nursing

    haha, netglow. I must be awful at personality tests. I am not cocky, but I am a free thinker that tries to come up with solutions to problems and considers things from as many angles as I can. It's...

    wish_me_luck replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

    you know, I re-read what your posts say as far as your instructor goes...have you ever considered that he/she is trying to scare some people away from nursing? For whatever reason, some instructors...

    How do you make new hires feel welcome on your unit?

    wish_me_luck replied to RN-ing's topic in General Nursing

    thanks, nursbrooklyn, for trying to make your new hires feel welcome. If you can get those new hires to stay (as opposed to being run off), then maybe they can become mentors for future new hires. I...

    Applying for too many positions?

    wish_me_luck replied to Kalypso2k's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think yes and no on the desperate thing. Yes, because if you are applying just to find a job and you really don't like the area at all or you know in your heart it's not a good fit and it really...

    How do you make new hires feel welcome on your unit?

    wish_me_luck replied to RN-ing's topic in General Nursing

    I want to add something in addition to my above post. One thing I wish managers did is when there's a staff meeting, take like 15-20 minutes or so and the new grad/new staff/other people who aren't...

    wish_me_luck replied to RN-ing's topic in General Nursing

    nursbrooklyn, I am a new grad (boards soon) and I honestly don't need anything materialistic. The thing I want more than anything is to genuinely feel welcomed on a unit and not have a toxic...

    Considering leaving hospital after new grad internship

    wish_me_luck replied to GypseyGirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Okay, I am calm now. I am curious what happened to your home health job as a LVN. But that aside, I understand the economy and everything but I would have done the home health thing even if there was...

    wish_me_luck replied to GypseyGirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    RNsRWe, you are so much nicer than I am. I, for one, was angry at this post. My question is if you liked home health and you have experience in home health, why did you take an internship in a...

    unsure what to do

    wish_me_luck replied to cantdoit's topic in Nursing Career

    I think part of the problem is some or most nurses liking 12s, then you have like a quarter or third of nurses who want 8s. Well, that becomes an issue when you have to schedule people. If you have a...

    Are you referring to your education through school? If so, I haven't heard of that expiring. That's like saying a ADN or BSN expires and they don't. The thing that expires is your license but you only...
