    jamisaurus replied to Knights Nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, why are you leaving your job in the burn ICU in the first place? What draws you to trauma and what draws you to the NICU? What are your long term goals? If you go to the NICU it will be more...

    jamisaurus replied to yellow_crayon's topic in Health, Stress Management

  10. Ohio Health and OSU

    jamisaurus replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    There's no way a new grad is starting at 36, you must have gotten your info from an experienced RN. most new grad start out around $24, with maybe a $1-$2 difference based on the system. Unless she's...

  11. New Grad RN

    jamisaurus replied to Mellie9645's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    jamisaurus replied to panda2bnurse3's topic in General Students

    Well, you can't really work during school to ease the burden because there's just no time during ABSN programs. I'd say your options are to call that old witch Sallie Mae again (what i did), or...

  17. Ohio Health and OSU

    jamisaurus replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I was wondering what the heck was up with that 18/hr! I'd recommend working for a year or even 6 months where you are now so your resume will get to HR. there's just too many darn nursing schools and...

  21. Should I donate all my scrubs?

    jamisaurus replied to winter_green's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It sounds to me like you have an inkling in your mind, even tiny, that you might like to change jobs in the future. So I would hang on to those expensive scrubs just in case! Put them in one of those...
