  1. DNP seems like a waste...

    SubSippi replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Would having a DNP expand your scope of practice from having a Master's? Would the pay increase? Or is the only change going to be in the level of education that's required to be a

  2. NCLEX 2013 Advice

    SubSippi replied to QtSueBee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  3. BE CAREFUL on social networks

    SubSippi replied to Chico David's topic in General Nursing

    Tiger Woods was admitted to a facility in my area for his "sex addiction" and tons of nurses who worked there got fired for posting about it on Facebook. I think they thought it would be okay because...

  4. How hard is the new NCLEX 2013 Test Plan

    SubSippi replied to souleater11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah...prioritization and delegation are the hardest things for me, I usually do pretty well on the questions that require you to make knowledge based decisions versus judgement calls. I use the...

    SubSippi replied to souleater11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    SubSippi replied to Millissa's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I read a lot about interviewing on here before I went on my interviews, and got really great advice. Here are a few things that I kept seeing over and over... All new grads are on the same level, in...

  7. How do I handle "why did you leave?"

    SubSippi replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You could say something along the lines of...although you've enjoyed your current job, the one you're interviewing for is more in line with your interests, career goals, etc. I think it's better to...

  8. Thank you note question

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

    I have these all white notecards with my initials embossed on the front that I've written thank you notes on. They aren't super "professional," but aren't cutesy or anything like that. I hand write...

  9. I got my first RN job but i need advice.

    SubSippi replied to bingu64's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree, if the job market is tough take any job you can get at first, but still keep applying. $15/hr seems incredibly low, especially for your area, so if it was me, I wouldn't feel too guilty...

  10. A new grad numbers game... just curious!

    SubSippi replied to calivianya's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated this May, and applied for two jobs, out of state (my husband is in the military and I am moving to where he is stationed). Both new grad positions, one was a critical care residency, one...

  11. Thinking about minoring in biology...

    SubSippi replied to marbar14's topic in General Students

    As far as I know, getting a minor won't do too much for your nursing career...wouldn't hurt it though. I know for some people, staying enrolled full time in school is important for insurance and to be...

    SubSippi replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I've applied to some places, but I'm not familiar with that area at all and don't know anyone who lives there, so I'm pretty clueless about the hospitals around there. The job market...

  14. Any job offer yet? Graduation around the corner!

    SubSippi replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Students

    Hey Pat. I'm going to be moving up there after I graduate this semester. So the job market is pretty good in that area for new grads? Any advice on what hospitals to apply

  15. Leave college for a year to become LPN at ECPI?

    SubSippi replied to BOSS man's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It could end up being a good idea! That is a lot of money, though, so before you took out a loan I would check and see exactly what the minimum payments are, and also how much money you ACTUALLY will...

  16. Job offer...now what?

    SubSippi posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi everyone! I am hoping for some advice. I graduate in May, and was lucky enough to receive a job offer after my first interview, and this job is perfect for me. I'm really excited. I read this...

  17. Job offer...now what?

    SubSippi replied to SubSippi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks, I guess I should go ahead and ask about it, the recruiter didn't say anything about sending me something like that. I just don't want it to sound like I'm accusing them of trying to trick...

  18. Nursing is better than what is out THERE. What do you think?

    SubSippi replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    For me, waiting tables wasn't what I hated, what I HATED was working for tips. People seemed to think that they were doing you some sort of favor by leaving a tip, which, in my opinion (obviously I'm...

  19. Is there anyone out there that feels this way?

    SubSippi replied to adraorien's topic in General Students

    I agree with the other posters about ATI...it it was a matter of the school just not being challenging enough, that would reflect in your ATI scores. Also, do all of the students make those

  21. Acceptance letter to RN program,what to expect?

    SubSippi replied to ameliagal's topic in General Students

    SubSippi replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students
