Hi ern1105, First I will go about getting certifications ( Basic Cardiac Life Support and/or Advance Cardiac Life Support). My mentor told me, to make yourself more marketable, get certification. Especially, as a nurse, you need your BCLS. That way w...

Wow, Thank you:kiss. I love the simpl, yet true words. We all came along way and everyday I am happy I choose Nursing. There are good and bad days, but it is all worth it in the end - Nurses get to witness life come into the world and hold someones ...

Hello gapeacheykeen, I advise to just go straight for your Bachelor in Nursing and get your RN license. Make sure you aren't going in for nursing just for the money. Because going in for the money, you wouldn't make your first clinical semester. I a...

Hi Anatasia83, They take care of the nurses and benefits shows as well. Check out their website. Word of advice let them ( once your offer a position) tell you about payment rate for new grads and vacation time:). Wish you the best on your journey:j...

I interviewd for MIU ( Medical Step-Down ICU). Yes, I had a phone interview first and then shadow the unit, which help me get a feel of the enviornment. The hospital is huge , but very inviting. Absolutely, felt connected. Long story short, I was of...

Hi Vicky RN, Thank you for the link. Very helpful :)

Hi aileenve, We sure can support each other. One day at a time. Though I make it sound so simple, it will definitely take time and soul to get a great place in nursing:)

Ashley PICU RN, As I read the article, I couldn't helped but get teary eyed. You done your part. You allowed the family to take control of an unfavorable situation. I can't fathom the hardship of saying goodbye to a dying child. I want you to know I ...

Esme12, The reason I spell say G-d in this fashion is because of what I learned from a fellow classmate in my feminist christian class. They way she explained was " G-d can't just be place in a name, He is Bigger and Awesome." Therefore, by placing ...

Hi Brand1017, I am sorry you have to put up the unfairness. Everything is about budget, budget, and budget. What happened to patient safety? Advocacy for nurses and patients?...There are so many new grads and seasoned nurses out here looking for wor...

Hi Barbyann, Awww thank you. There is nothing like motivation and support:redbeathe. I am ready to get them!!

Hi Timba, Blessing to you in your nursing program. When it's over ( your gonna miss it) --seriously. I never thought about relocating until I went to the job fair. The offer is in Greenville:). I am not sure if I got the job yet. I supposed this the ...

Hi Ruby Vee, Thank for sharing your article. I enjoyed. As a current new grad registered nurse I don't feel ALL nurse's eat their young, at times some nurse's do. I totally understand that we all have our bad days and sometimes can be cranky and rude...

RN/Writer I really enjoyed your article. I have dealt with some B----ness at work and my best dose of medicine was being assertive and nippy the BS in the butt before it escalated. I hope others read your article and learn how to toughen their skin a...

Madwife2002...I am speechless. What you have shared is sooo true my bones ache. I am a new grad and currently work as cna and I see the BS everyday. Too the point I passionately dislike where I am. However, I stay because it pays the bills. But it is...
