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 night. Unacceptable." "The nurse didn't come in ...

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 understanding of the fact that I was legitimately miserab...

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 in a rut financially and I need to work more. I t...

When I left a bad situation a year ago (I left at the beginning of a mass exudous), I simply told my manager that I was pursuing an opportunity to aligned better with my goals as a nurse.

Worked at Target in HS. In college I was a advising center receptionist, dog walker/doggie daycare worker, nanny, waitress/bartender and gymnastics coach.

Just thought I'd start a topic for this since I haven't seen one yet for this upcoming summer. I finished applying a few weeks ago and now I'm starting to work on some other internship/externship apps. I hopeful I get accepted but also being reali...

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 miss the clinical time to fly out so that is why the...

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 now.

I was wait listed for Peds Acute & Specialty. Disappointed but not the end of the world.

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 hear back either way.

You enter your instructors email and it automatically sends them whatever form it is they need to fill out. It's all done electronically.

I'm just waiting on references to come in then I can submit my app. I'm applying for the pediatric acute & specialty care track. I'm from WI and have been licensed here for 2 months and can't seem find a job around here. I initially planned on...

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 possible start of a job. I've heard that IL is no...

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 temp or permanent license by the start date. The ...

I applied, interviewed and shadowed on a unit and despite calling, I heard nothing for about a month until I got a call from another unit to come interview. That manager asked me where else I had interviewed, I told her, and apparently the manager i...

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, which in my opinion was rather laid back.

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 were dreadful to get passed on time and my instructor...

This past semester I brought a lot more than previous semesters. We had a lot of paperwork to do in addition to patient care and charting. So I'd bring my clipboard with all my clinical schedules, copies of our assigned paperwork, tip sheets, ect. ...

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 craze began.

Be proactive with nurses. Let them and the PCAs know that if they need any help with their other patients, that they can come grab you if you aren't busy with your assigned patient (if you are busy, tell them. Don't let them pull you away from your...

Last semester we would go in anytime after about 6:30 the night before. This semester we get our assignment with hand-off sheet, we all quickly print the SBAR sheet (which is more all-encompassing and everyone, including nurses, likes it better), n...

We don't have the opportunity due to a number of factors. We are a consortial program so we are farther away from the larger metro hospitals (30-60 minutes, I don't think that is that bad) but in previous years when they did offer the change to do a...

Look at veterinary supply stores. That is where I got mine however I'm not sure what you mean by no teeth.

For us care plans are not very excessive. We're given a template (which actually changed between 1st and 2nd semester...talk about continuity...). I've done three that have been graded and a rough one for each of my patients in the hospital. Grade...
