  1. Unemployed & inexperienced New RNs. Vent it out!

    tippytootagon replied to captain byakuya's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You are not hired until you have an offer in hand. Maybe she interviewed someone else and liked them better? Maybe budgets got cut and she was no longer able to create a new position? Maybe the sky...

  2. Want to be a stay at home mom before my first job!

    tippytootagon replied to pacifyproblems's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Best way to have it all - work and make your partner stay at home with the baby. (Hey, I'm a feminist and it is a possibility). Otherwise, I would either suck it up and work with a newborn at home, or...

  3. Culturally insensitive patients

    tippytootagon posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A little background: I am Chinese American. I live in a university town in the Midwest that is fairly multicultural, but that is also surrounded by farming communities that are generally 100% white...

  4. Sending resume

    tippytootagon replied to KJM-RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Do it! I graduate in may as well, started applying in February, and have already been hired! (Pending licensure, of

  5. Urgent! Dream job opening, critique my cover letter??

    tippytootagon replied to ama3t's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I hope I wasn't too harsh. Your cover letter isn't bad, it's just not a standout. I can tell you really want this job, and I hope you get it. Keep us

  6. Weird Job interview

    tippytootagon replied to yachaaness's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    it's only been TWO DAYS. Give it at least a week. Then follow up ONCE. If they want you, they will contact you. Put yourself in the hiring manager's shoes. Would you hire someone you didn't like just...

  7. Urgent! Dream job opening, critique my cover letter??

    tippytootagon replied to ama3t's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    To be blunt, I think you need to start over. A cover letter isn't about you or what you want, or your career goals. A cover letter is about your employer. This is what a good cover letter looks...

  8. Culturally insensitive patients

    tippytootagon replied to tippytootagon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for the replies. I don't take it as an insult. Like I said, I try to have a sense of humor about it. however, its frustrating when i politely correct them and they either say something like...

  9. Please help...

    tippytootagon replied to sofla98's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm sure there are those who would disagree with me but: I would leave off that you are currently pursuing your masters to become a FNP. From a hiring manager's perspective, why should I hire you and...

  10. New grads, How did you list your clinical rotations on your resume?

    tippytootagon replied to grownuprosie's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I didn't put any of my clinical rotations on my resume - I got an interview at my first choice hospital and was hired. I agree with Sun that your hiring manager is going to know generally what your...

  11. Any New Grads Want to Post their Résumé?

    tippytootagon replied to ChicagoRN1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hey Bayat, I appreciate the advice, but I'll probably not be using a resume for a while, as the one I posted has already landed me a residency at the first hospital I applied to before I've even...

  12. Interview and jury duty obligations.

    tippytootagon replied to AlaskaHopeful's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't mention it until you receive an offer. It is illegal for jury duty to be held against you in any

  13. Any New Grads Want to Post their Résumé?

    tippytootagon replied to ChicagoRN1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I will post my résumé. I will graduate in may and I've already been hired to a new graduate residency at a university affiliated magnet teaching hospital. Also, I didn't need to hand deliver my...

  14. I am tiny and need help finding scrubs that will actually fit!

    tippytootagon replied to kaimkaim's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm 5' 2" and around 105 pounds. I wear xxs petite Cherokee drawstring flare-leg pants. I cannot do xxs Cherokee tops as they are HUMONGOUS. Instead I do Grey's anatomy or Koi tops in xs (they dont...

  15. Questions for Night Shift Nurses

    tippytootagon replied to Tazhaz's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I work at has a strict no-sleeping policy. If you are found sleeping, you will be fired. Immediately. I am in Central Illinois. So no. No naps. No special nap rooms. And I think the...

  16. Simple Nursing course turning out to be a complete nightmare.......help!

    tippytootagon replied to Nursing2102's topic in General Students

    "If it's in your textbook, you may be tested on it" - every single one of my nursing professors

  17. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    tippytootagon replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I realize you saw this on 60 minutes. HOWEVER It's not "studies" it's one study. Second of all, this one particular study is extremely controversial, and the American Psychiatric Association has...

  18. Nursing school frustrates me

    tippytootagon replied to iNsaNiA's topic in General Students

    Nope!

  19. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    tippytootagon replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    While I see where some of the comments about essentially stating that "popping a pill" is the easy way out, etc.. are coming from, I want to express to you how hurtful that comment can be to someone...

  20. Whole class failed first test....now its a TAKE HOME!

    tippytootagon replied to Dowdy90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I disagree. If you're giving albuterol, your primary concern is your patient's airway and breathing, and education would be secondary (I'm assuming that's why you're disagreeing with my rewording)....

  21. Whole class failed first test....now its a TAKE HOME!

    tippytootagon replied to Dowdy90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a second semester nursing student as well, but I took pharmacology first semester that said. Question 1. Another way of phrasing the question would be like this: Your patient is taking albuterol...

  22. nursing diagnosis question

    tippytootagon replied to ohellemarie's topic in General Students

    Perhaps something related to disturbed body image? A colostomy or ileostomy really affects the way you look, and can affect the clothes you wear, etc... I know that if I were to receive a colostomy,...

  23. What is Nursing Diagnosis, and Why Should I Care?

    tippytootagon replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's a great article, and I will definitely be thinking about it when I make my care

  24. why is med/surg so difficult?

    tippytootagon replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    I think this argument comes from two definitions of science. Nurses use science to guide their practice. I don't think anyone would disagree with that statement. But do nurses have mastery of...
