  1. How flexible is a nurse's/RN work schedule?

    CP2013 replied to thecareerchanger's topic in Nursing Career

  2. Nurse from the UK needing help :)

    CP2013 replied to Carys25's topic in Nurse Registration

    I'm sure the admins will move this to the world nursing forums for you. Just be aware that there is a glut of US trained nurses and we are in a recession. A work visa (H1b I think?) can take 6 years...

  4. Fair grading

    CP2013 replied to Ldla1234's topic in General Students

    My school does option #2. That way no one ever loses points, but can only gain. Also applies for if students challenge a question. They then accept both answers instead of taking points away from...

  8. Failed dosage calc

    CP2013 replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Protecting your family is the priority. Without them, would nursing even be worth it? Just like a decline in your health wouldn't be worth sacrificing for school. I think developing a strong support...

  9. Nursing Interviews: Basic Post-Interview Etiquette

    CP2013 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    But often times they don't understand the clinical aspects. I have had recruiters tell me that 16 months of hospital tech float pool experience doesn't qualify for the 12 month of hospital tech...

  10. Anyone else feel like you are in that book, the emperors clothes?

    CP2013 replied to mas28's topic in Male Nursing Students

    As a lady, I have to agree! I'm a darker skinned gal do I wear black undies in my whites to minimize things. As for your commando nurse....I am embarrassed just reading that story! Feel bad for the...

  14. Which states hire new grads?

    CP2013 replied to greyL's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    North and South Dakota. Go for the rural areas! There are places in Florida that still offer sign on bonuses! Some for new grads. All because the area needs competent nurses willing to stay in a rural...

  15. Nursing Interviews: Basic Post-Interview Etiquette

    CP2013 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Where I applied, they only give you the general phone # for HR. They don't give you any information regarding their location. Honest to goodness. I managed to get an email and sent an email saying...

  16. Ultrasound IV placement

    CP2013 replied to bjflymed's topic in Emergency

    What?? I'm a nursing student hoping for an ED new grad residency...I would love to learn how to do an IO or an US guided IV! Would be a wonderful skill to learn! I'll be looking into classes to learn...

    CP2013 replied to oklahomagal's topic in General Students

    Sorry she was tough on you. It's not always a good way to teach. Sometimes instructors have a way of not explaining the rationale which makes it hard to remember. Thinks like getting assessments and...

  22. Pre-employment physical

    CP2013 replied to Nursey86's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    CP2013 replied to akilah530's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're right, it's a great place for new grads to hone their skills! It's just not for everyone. I'm personally not a fan of seeing the same patient for a 12 hour shift, admissions, discharges, etc....
