  1. NM BON length of time for transferring license

    Scarlettz replied to IndianaHH's topic in General Nursing

    My license is in! It took about 3

  2. NM BON length of time for transferring license

    Scarlettz replied to IndianaHH's topic in General Nursing

    It most likely depends on how quick Indiana sends New Mexico the original licensure verification form to them. I sent out almost all my NM material in mid-February. Almost a week later, I received an...

  3. Evidenced Based Paper

    Scarlettz posted a topic in Psychiatric

    We have to do an evidence based practice paper this semester. Since I would like to go into psych or neuro nursing, I would preferably like my paper to be related to one of those specialties. However,...

  4. New Grad Traumatized After First Interview

    Scarlettz replied to rollieem's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have had a bad interview a couple months ago. It was my first real nursing interview, and not what I expected. The last couple of interviews that I had before this were seemingly more casual (one...

  5. Best area to relocate?

    Scarlettz posted a topic in General Nursing

    I graduate from my RN-to-BSN program this May and would like to relocate to New Mexico in the summer. Does anyone, who is living in New Mexico, have any suggestion as to the best area to relocate - as...

    Scarlettz replied to wants_to_ski's topic in General Nursing

  7. Resume touchups

    Scarlettz posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated from an associates program last May of 2012, but I went directly into an RN-to-BSN program this fall. I will graduate with my BSN in May 2013. My question is, when I graduate should I omit...

  8. New Grads / First Job Survey

    Scarlettz posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am sure there are many posts on this topic, but I wanted a more in-depth understanding of the hiring process and statistics of some of the new(ish) graduates. I wanted to focus more on 2011-2012...

  11. What do you indicate when they ask "Salary Requirement"?

    Scarlettz replied to caffeineaddict's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I usually put 17 -20 dollars if required to put an amount. You might want to see if you can find out the average salary for a newcomer and put something around that amount. I honestly would take a job...

  12. Moving to ND

    Scarlettz replied to L&D<3's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck you you- and congrats! I am very interested in making the move to ND once I graduate from my RN to BSN program here. Please let us know (or PM if you prefer) how the apartment search is...

  13. 5 Months and no job

    Scarlettz replied to Bigmaine33's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's tough, for sure. I have been looking for 6 months for a nursing job (ADN graduate.) You may have to look at other realms of nursing (or even PCT positions or other health related jobs) until...

  14. Will you pay 1000 dollars ticket for a interview?

    Scarlettz replied to kindlylili's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Never! I would review other transportation options first. Where are you located? Have you looked into driving, taking a train, or bus, if available? Ask them if they do phone interviews. I desperately...

  15. No luck with a new grad job- should I go back to school? Any nurse managers around?

    Scarlettz replied to BA_anthropology's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Use this time to do whatever you can to stand out. I just graduated from as associates program this past May 2012. I went straight into an RN-to-BSN program b/c most places around here want a BSN. I...

  16. Minot ND information

    Scarlettz replied to ilovemicrobiology's topic in General Nursing

    I am interested in applying to Trinity in Minot, ND. However, I am tied to an RN-to-BSN program until May 2013. I am not part of a compact state, so I would need to get my ND nursing license. Just a...

  17. The nurses every co-worker hates

    Scarlettz replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am not a working nurse yet....(still looking for a job.) I would never label myself mean or rude.. I sound more like you described - agreeable, passive. I guess some people find my shy nature to be...

  18. PCT on Mother/Baby unit

    Scarlettz replied to Scarlettz's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Thank you for the responses. Just a little update, the interview was rescheduled for this week and I don't have such high hopes anymore. Originally I was to meet with the interviewer at the old...

  19. All of a sudden an ASN is no good anymore

    Scarlettz replied to pattyslattery's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, sadly, you have to do what you have to do. I just graduated from a 2 year Associates program in Nursing (I also have a previous Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology.) But I knew that I needed...

  20. Finally an RN!!! 2 and 1/2 years out of school and 3 trys at NCLEX

    Scarlettz replied to shar pei's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations - and very helpful post!! I totally agree with you about Lippincott's NCLEX-RN alternate-Format questions 4th ed. It was one of my favourite books that I used to study

  21. "Why does a nurse have to go to college?"

    Scarlettz replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    I think that most jobs can be learned just from on the job training to be honest - especially if it's a field that one is truly passionate. But, as others have said, this girl doesn't stand a chance...

  22. What specialty are you considering?

    Scarlettz replied to daisygarten's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first choice in psychiatric nursing. But, I think I would also like: geriatric psychiatric, neuro, oncology, med/surg. I'll take just about anything, as it's been a fruitless search so far. The...

  23. What are you going to miss the most...

    Scarlettz replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    I just graduated from my ADN program. I would say that the things I missed most were: 1) Reading books (for fun) and 2) Sleeping in. I only had to wake up super early 2 days per week but it was so...

  24. Which book is good for pharmacology ?

    Scarlettz replied to lusi063's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used my Kaplan RN course book that was given to those who took the course. This might be the latest edition: Amazon.com: The RN Course Book Preparation for The NCLEX-RN Examination Fourteenth...

  25. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    Scarlettz replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    I never had an interest in ED or ICU. Psychiatric nursing is the reason I went into nursing. I wouldn't mind Medsurg or LTC. Honestly, I will work in almost any area. I just want a job. They are so...
