I like the original logo mostly because I do not like how the bubble seperates the all/nurses. I feel the current logo reads as a quick allnurses and the seperation makes it sound divided...all/nurses. It almost reads as if it's a different site. ...

Ha ha ha ha!!!...or maybe it's like this...do you concur? [video=youtube_share;i5j1wWY-qus]

Where are you located KelRN215 is you don't mind me asking? Perhaps our locations and situations are different... I live in NY. There are jobs for experienced nurses. New grads frequently fly the coop often, once they get the one year experience. I...

So here's the recap... The original posting by jreynrn was about how she helped out a new nurse who had no support from other staff members. She was discussing her concerns of how other nurses were bullying the new nurse, or made the envirionment ve...

You probably handled better than I would have. I would've prob have done something clownish or have done some Jim Carrey antic and my story would end up in another AN forum under "who's the weirdest interviewee you ever interviewed" Something on the...

Perhaps if new nurses "naitivitee" (I'm a semi-new grad btw) could be looked at as a reminder of why most nurses chose this helping position. When I was 7 years old I remember asking my mom about a homeless man "Why is man sleeping on the floor?" mo...

Volunteer yes, expect a job no. I'm volunteering at a hospital in NYC almost a year. Was told from various places it was not considered experience. You'll gain experience talking to patients and making beds. Otherwise it's usually nothing hands on...

Ok let me give this a try... "Not trying to burst your bubble, but a hospital would NEVER go for a program where they pay one nurse a high salary to teach 10 new grads and, together, the ELEVEN nurses (who are all being paid a nurse's salary) take ca...

Good for you plumbtrician! I applaud your honesty and your humility. It's good you took the initiative to travel outside your safety zone. I would love if this thread displayed all of our talents so that we could make peace with each other. If you th...

Thank you for understanding!!! I wish more people could understand this. I wish there were more people who had eyesight that went further than the wall in front of them. When I say people I mean in general. You are a perfect example of what a nurse s...

Out of seriousness, I applied for housekeeping. Luckily or unluckily I got the flu so couldn't get to the hospital to followup. Nothing wrong with being a janitor if you are very fit and have lungs of steel, my boyfriend used to be one, but got very...

You have not had it easy. It is brave of you to share your story. One day I will share mine, but as of now I feel it will only crush my toe in the door. Thank you LadyFree28 for starting this thread. Congrads on the new job and best of all for yo...

Ok this is a repost from another thread but here it goes... www.peacecorps.gov looks very good, that is if you are able to commit to 27 months, and can pass the physical. if you happen to have $2000+ lying around, (yeah I know, who does?) there is an...

I'm sorry to hear this. Maybe we could team up and come up with something. "Formerly" experienced nurses (sic) and new grads could team up somehow. Maybe open up a clinic together, could get some sort of funding. New grads have the numbers, you ha...

This thread does have a lot of gems in it from all points of views. Yes, lets create a new thread for ideas! LadyFree28 would you do the honors in creating the name for the thread? I've already angered too many people with my petition wording . ...

Sorry for so many posts! But I wanted to thank everyone for their advice. I was running out of ideas. LadyFree28 suggested the peacecorp Peace Corps and for any new grads out there this looks like a really good deal (notice it's a govt. funded prog...

My neighboring states wants you to have the license first. Which should I get, Conneticut or NJ? NJ as a side note still has a curfew from the hurricane. I've joined agencies that are helping me look for work. They helped me prepare for interviews...

Advice on finding jobs out of state NY for non-driver (I have a disability if you have to know so please spare the lip on not being able to drive)...and broke. Should I apply for licenses (besides the one I have in NY) in several states? Which one i...

Why did I start this petition in the first place? Because I was tired of feeling powerless. I was told by people to search outside Brooklyn (I have so, all the way down to Puerto Rico), get more certifications, volunteer even more than I do, learn sp...

This strain in NY is bad. It started as a mild cough and the other wonderful symptoms come from out of nowhere. I felt like going to the hospital yesterday but I hung on. If I knew I would have gotten the flu vaccine for this 2nd strain.

Please write a better plan...maybe it will work?

So if our training program schools are adequate, why aren't we given a chance? Why have costly orientation in the first place? Why is my taking care of my ill family members not considered real world experience? Why is volunteering in a hospital f...

Was ist nuts?? My late father innitiated a government program that helped disabled veterans learn skills to help them re-enter the job market. They were taught computer skills as well as Spanish as a second language for starters. He fought for vete...
