So I went to a interview for a RN position at a doctors office. I was the only one in the waiting room when a woman walked in wearing a tshirt and leggings, and had her screaming infant and husband with her. I assumed she was a patient but she walked...

[Yes, I have been asked to give reasons. At one job I explained I had food poisoning and was throwing up, so the manager suggested I still come in and could just carry a bucket or garbage can with me everywhere to throw up in. At the same job I los...

I used to live in a very bad area. I had to call in one day because someone found a body in front of my driveway and the coroner was blocking me in with the van/crime scene investigation. My boss told me I didn't have lie, I could just say I was taki...

I would stay in the program, your almost done! I constantly got turned around in the hospital halls, I can't believe that would be something she would ding you on. I would request a meeting with your clinical teacher. Think about ways to make sure it...

I agree with a PP. Just buy a clear or flesh colored stud to wear to work or school and you will be fine. That's what I do and it has never caused any problems. I actually suggest getting multiple pairs so you will never be without if you forget it a...

During my Lpn program I had plenty of free time had really good grades. The Lpn-Rn bridge was a different story. The school I took the bridge at is known for being one of the hardest in the area. The rn bridge expected much more of you (more homework...

I took mine 2 days ago and my name and license number was on the brn website this morning!

Good luck, I'm taking mine this morning too.

Are you a new grad? Would you be able to live off the lower wages and no benefits?

I wore khaki pants and a normal shirt for my first couple of days, but it's not working out. I have no pockets for the three ginormous rings of keys I have to carry or my pencil and brain sheet / paper for notes. I was the only person not wearing scr...

Hello everyone, I just accepted a prn psych position and wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I'm so excited to join all of you! I have always been interested in psych and was so lucky to get this position after my first nursing interview ever (ot...

I agree, please don't put your notice in until you signed a offer from the home health company. Verbal offers can fall through and the hiring process can take a long time sometimes. A job you don't like is better than no job at all if you need money ...

I don't have any advice, but just wanted to say congrats!

It was my first day today, and I wore a button up shirt with a t shirt underneath. To tell the truth, I never even considered that my shirt may have been ripped open, but now that you pointed it out, it should have been obvious! I wore a shirt undern...

That would my finances so much. It would be nice if it was true

Hi New Angel, Thanks for the info. I dont want to wear jeans, thats what i wear at home and i like to ha e separate work and home clothes. I am definitely not wearing pant suits or skirts either, they are so uncomfortable! I ordered some khaki type ...

Something cheap and waterproof/ resistant. I got an awesome waterproof watch with both military and regular time at a sporting good store. It was normally 50 and I got it for 20 on clearance because the case was cracked. I started with a silicone ban...

It depends in what area I was in. I did clinicals in 2 different areas. When I was in a county hospital in a large metro area, the patients loved us students. They seemed very grateful to have the attention and you could tell they really appreciated ...

Since you emailed the instructor and she said you won't get in trouble, I would miss a day of class. Seems worth it to have a job in a hospital and get your foot in the door.

I have had flu shot jobs like that and it was ok. The company was a little unorganized, but it was legit.

I plan on working two jobs, buT not two full time. Just got a per diem position and I will continue looking for full time work. I also want to work as much as possible for a year or two to get my debt paid off. If it becomes too much I'm not obligate...

I got a job offer too!!!!!

Was it the Lvn or Rn Nclex?

I randomly bought a couple of scrubs over the weekend because they were cute. I got a call last night asking me to come in for a interview today. I think there may be something to this buying new scrubs to get a job thing! Of course I'm interviewing ...

I have a foot problem and have had foot surgery multiple times. I have a close relationship with my podiatrist from seeing him so often. He told me that during my last surgery I kept sitting up trying to grab my foot, and was telling him that it h...
