  1. Inova Health System

    Eric Cartman replied to Eric Cartman's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yes I do have experience in health care. 2 Years as a CNA and currently I have been working for the past 16 months as a Clinical RN Coordinator for a neurology outpatient practice in Philadelphia....

  2. Inova Health System

    Eric Cartman replied to Eric Cartman's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I have minimal experience, about 1.5 years in the neurology department where I currently work. I guess I would still consider myself a new graduate though. Thanks for your

  4. Will my tattoos hold me back?

    Eric Cartman replied to MLutiker's topic in General Students

    I'll keep this short and sweet. I have tattoos and I keep them all covered while I am at work. Tattoos are fine, but don't let people in the medical field know that you have them. This also...

  5. Hospitals only hiring BSN's?

    Eric Cartman replied to txhopeful13's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    To answer your question Txhopeful13, Yes and No. It is still possible to obtain an RN position with only an Associate degree; however, every day that passes, more and more hospitals are beginning to...

  6. How messed up is this?

    Eric Cartman replied to jelly221,RN's topic in General Nursing

  7. I really need a nursing opinion! School vs. experience...

    Eric Cartman replied to dpenn202's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'd have to agree with this notion. Lancaster General School of Nursing has a pretty great program and I do recommend it. I kind of regret not going there myself, but my little community college...

  8. Should I get my ADN and work for a few months then go back to school for my BSN?

    Eric Cartman replied to lrosen95's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If you are in high school still, I would suggest going for the BSN degree. I would consider becoming a CNA though. The best way to learn in my opinion is to start from the bottom and work your way...

  9. Good "Brain Food" for Concentration during shifts

    Eric Cartman replied to croppyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I find that a cup of coffee helps just prior to my shift. Also, staying hydrated with water and eating a piece of fruit usually helps keep me

  10. Genesis Healthcare - PA

    Eric Cartman replied to ecf1972's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I have no experience with this company, but only heard rumored stories about how they are not great to work for. I had a job interview with them at one point in time last year. When the nurse...

  11. Do I mention that I am Catholic in a cover letter for Catholic Hospital?

    Eric Cartman replied to santina44's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I cannot see how that would help, or harm. Your

    I believe in you

  13. My deceptive ways finally caught up to me..................now what

    Eric Cartman replied to monique0810's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree with all of the above. Honesty is a great idea, but consult a lawyer first before talking to the BON. You could seriously complicate your situation without consulting legal advice. By the...

    What up dude! Way to

  15. Question for anyone who has sought a job!

    Eric Cartman replied to Jammin' RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Unless a job specifies that new graduates should not apply, I would recommend applying. My current position required a minimum of 2 years experience, but somehow I secured the job when I applied for...

  16. Apply to wherever or what you want?

    Eric Cartman replied to esunada's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, I agree with this statement. Just be happy to find a job, if, and when you get one. There are a lot of new nurses out there struggling to find employment as new graduates. I currently am not a...

  17. Returning to work after suspension

    Eric Cartman replied to snoah's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Here's my 2 cents. Honest is a great policy, but society frowns upon addicts/ alcoholics, even if you are in recovery. It might be tough to find a job right away, but have you considered applying...

  18. Question: Where are the nursing jobs?

    Eric Cartman replied to chuckster's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yeah, Davita does have a high turnover rate it looks like. They also only guarantee you 32 hours a week, which can be a tight budget; however, a nursing job is a nursing job and any experience is way...

  19. Frustrated...sigh.

    Eric Cartman replied to KATRN78's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I remember my first devastating experience with a potential job. I really thought that I had landed the position. I had 1 telephone interview and two in-person interviews. In addition, after the...

  20. Lehigh Valley...still get positions with ADN?

    Eric Cartman replied to MRN717's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    My advice would be to go for the BSN. The nursing market is flooded with tons of new graduates and it's very tough to find employment right after graduating. Having a BSN gives you a decent...

  21. Question: Where are the nursing jobs?

    Eric Cartman replied to chuckster's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I live and work in Philadelphia. There seem to not be too many jobs in the area, however, within 1 year of graduating an Associate program in May 2010, 95% of my classmates secured full-time jobs....

    Eric Cartman replied to Flare's topic in School

    I like the title of this thread.

    Eric Cartman replied to Liga_D's topic in Men in Nursing

    What part of New Jersey do you live in? I live in Philadelphia and had a heck of a hard time trying to find employment after I graduated. It took me about 9 months and say 200 applications. It's a...

    Eric Cartman replied to ellie23's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Eric Cartman posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My girlfriend recently accepted a job in Washington DC and will be moving in June. I would like to be able to move with her, so I am going to start hunting for jobs in the DC, MD, VA, area. My...
