  1. Outrageous Complaints

    ChrisMarie09 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of these are from our monthly discharge survey reports: "You should have soft serve available to families on the floor." "My 15 year old son was placed in a room next to a baby. It cried all...

  2. Do you go to work with vomiting/diarrhea?

    ChrisMarie09 replied to designer-mommy's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely do not. Thankfully have only had to call in for GI symptoms twice. First time was working my old job with a crummy manager (but awesome staff and shift supervisors who were very...

  3. Look for new job or stay put?

    ChrisMarie09 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just need some "what would you do in my situation" advice. Currently I work 0.6 day shift, two 12 hours shifts a week and about a 40 minute, 35 mile drive each way. I honestly enjoy my job but I'm...

  6. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    ChrisMarie09 replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    I know of a few who opted for the skype interview in the past few years and were offered. I think they understand that most of the applicants are neck deep in their last semester and simply cannot...

  7. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    ChrisMarie09 replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    If I had been offered I probably would've have opted for the skype interview option. Paying for a plane ticket and hotel room is not in the budget whatsoever right

  9. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    ChrisMarie09 replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    I didn't recieve an email about a pilot residency either but I believe I also unchecked the spot where they ask if you'd like to receive emails about job openings. Still waiting though. I'm ready to...

    ChrisMarie09 posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    Anybody recently have their license endorsed in IL? I'm looking for a general timeline, preferably for endorsing during the summer months. I am anticipating about a month between the NCLEX and the...

  13. Time for endorsement?

    ChrisMarie09 replied to ChrisMarie09's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thank you everyone for your responses. I was offered a position at this job and opted not to take it for various reasons. The first being that I knew it would be unlikely that I would have either a...

    ChrisMarie09 replied to wizski's topic in General Nursing

    I have interviews with general peds and med-surg oncology in a couple weeks. I was wondering myself if they way they interview for the residency similar to how they do so for the Summer 10 program,...

  16. Administering meds at clinical

    ChrisMarie09 replied to keeithh01's topic in General Students

    I wish we had only 2-3 people pass meds each day last semester. There were 9 of us on a med-surg/ortho/post-op floor and typically half of us had 2 patients by mid-semester. 0800 & 0900 meds...

    ChrisMarie09 replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

  18. Oh! My feet! What are the best shoes to wear at work??

    ChrisMarie09 replied to Yellibee's topic in General Students

    It really depends on your feet. I prefer Nikes with the cheap Dr. Scholls tri-comfort insoles. Nikes were also the only brand of running shoe I could wear to workout until the minimal drop shoe...

    ChrisMarie09 replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students
