    SlightlyHumerus posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi nurses!! I am a new grad, second career nurse. I have been job hunting since I graduated December 13, 2013. (And I mean the REAL DEAL hunting- cold calling, going to area hospitals and introducing...

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

    I accepted the position!!! I'm so excited. My preceptor's shift is 7a-7p so I'm not going to worry about the other shift until the time comes. NM said 11p-7a is not hard to get and that I shouldn't...

  8. I just don't understand

    SlightlyHumerus replied to Jinx322's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ***ME*** So I've done most of the above and the best part of this story is I got a call from HR of my 2nd choice facility today. She informed me that she had received "feedback" from some NMs and...

  11. Ranting on the New Grads

    SlightlyHumerus replied to RNGriffin's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think some of the opinions expressed in this thread come from an age difference, not a title difference. There's a life-experience difference between a 19yo new grad and a 40yo new grad, right? It's...

    SlightlyHumerus replied to edwardsrn62's topic in Nursing Career

    WOW. that is an amazing story. Surely you can find a local attorney and ask if "dogs running at large" is a crime? It sounds more like a measly HOA violation. Definitely! definitely! definitely!...

  16. The Admission Process: Make Sure You Actually Say Something of Importance!

    SlightlyHumerus replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I understand your frustration, I feel for the new grad too. One of my favorite quotes is, "The single biggest problem of communication is the illusion that it has taken place" -George Bernard Shaw. I...
