    bebbercorn replied to skyheaven477's topic in Nursing Career

  7. Certified Nurses Day excluding people

    bebbercorn replied to RN34TX's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Making a big deal about it might encourage nurses to get certified. You aren't "skipping over" anyone. You are presenting recognition to someone that deserves

  9. Hand Lotion

    bebbercorn replied to arronlpn's topic in Men in Nursing

  12. Is your Hospital requiring a copy of your diploma or transcripts?

    bebbercorn replied to floridaboundrn's topic in General Nursing

    bebbercorn posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  15. New Grad - Is an RN Residency the way to go?

    bebbercorn replied to GGBRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There is such a saturation of new grad RN's that I feel like it's luck of the draw, like some recruiter is picking out resumes at random. Good luck to

  16. Should I start as an LVN or RN?

    bebbercorn replied to nursewannabe71's topic in Nursing Career

    Sorry about your situation! Your friend is right. I know LVN seems easier to get in to but hospitals are phasing them out, and now even phasing out 2 year nurses... just FYI and I wish you good

    bebbercorn replied to sleblanc392's topic in Nursing Career

    bebbercorn replied to obizyanka's topic in First Year After Licensure

  21. Can I ask about male:female nurse ratio?

    bebbercorn replied to Swellz's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I believe that male nurses make up less than 10% of the nursing population, and I agree with turnforthenurseRN about their chosen fields. But I believe it would be unprofessional to ask about

    bebbercorn replied to KRSLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC
