  1. Need to vent...

    bebbercorn replied to strings85's topic in Men in Nursing

    First of all, I hope your Mom gets better. Secondly, I agree with previous posters about talking to the NM. I don't care what gender you are, treating patients with respect and guarding their privacy...

  2. What to do when nothing you do is right (long)

    bebbercorn replied to serenidad2004's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe the issue is that you precepted her? Maybe she doesn't take constructive criticism well, and what you construed as a helpful comment, she took another way. I think just keep doing what you're...

  3. LPN to.......CNA?!

    bebbercorn replied to Keep_Calm's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is a motivating story, awesome job. Well done!

  4. Moving to NYC-Brooklyn from Tampa, FL

    bebbercorn replied to rassierae's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Cassie, I moved to NY from Tampa last year. It takes about 8-10 weeks for licensure so apply asap! There are a few classes you need to take but if you go on rn.com or nurse.com you can take...

  5. Feeling so discouraged

    bebbercorn replied to tugirl12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Try to take it one day at a time and pick out your favorite dx and learn something from it. I've also tried to break into this field with no luck. So, I take CE's and read up on the subject in my...

  6. NEW TO THE ER WORLD

    bebbercorn replied to CaribeRN's topic in Emergency

    I recently re-entered nursing after a long maternity leave and found that there are great resources on youtube and you can do unlimited CE's on many nursing websites. This was helpful when I realized...

  7. I need help...can someone please critique my cover letter

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

    I agree that it's long but I do like how you tie in your psych background. Perhaps cutting down a bit on the information you gave about the neuro unit, as they know what your position might entail,...

  8. Regarding a job post on Craigslist for an LVN position..

    bebbercorn replied to flowergrl's topic in Nursing Career

    Recently saw a post on Craigslist for an LVN who could lift 125 lbs. OMG. This is what we've come

  9. Feeling like a stalker....

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

    I think they won't check it unless you listed it... let us know how it

  11. Cursing on the job

    bebbercorn replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    I had to stop swearing (I used to do it a LOT) when I started teaching kindergarten in my former life before nursing... It definitely made me a calmer person all around and I would recommend to use...

  12. Stony Brook's Hiring Process

    bebbercorn replied to tigralvovna's topic in New York Nursing

    I initially applied for the fellowship, as I've been out on maternity leave, but she called me for a regular position with a 4 month orientation. The recruiter just called, I apparently need one more...

  13. Stony Brook's Hiring Process

    bebbercorn replied to tigralvovna's topic in New York Nursing

    She said that the orientation starts April 11th and if all of the paperwork wasn't in there was another orientation on May 9th. I agree the questions were not typical ones which made the flow of...

  14. New Graduate RN dropped from orientation. How to get a new job?

    bebbercorn replied to McConville47's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Agree with St_Claire. Just be prepared to discuss it in a positive way and divulge what you learned and how you've worked on your issue. Good

  15. What makes a "good patient"?

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

    In my experience everyone groans when the call light goes off, because 1) we're already busy, 2) we finally got a chance to chart or 3) we are sitting down for the first time in a shift. You sound...

  16. RN with a BSN - 2 years in - no available jobs. Should I change careers? Help

    bebbercorn replied to spade11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    First of all, I'm so sorry you went through that experience. I am in Long Island and let me tell you, the job search is very challenging and the market here is saturated. Just keep trying and doing...

  17. What shoes brand is good?

    bebbercorn replied to ctbui's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Agree with Commuter about your feet size and shape. I personally got a pair of dansko clogs that are ok, just a little heavy, but they fit my arch well. My husband has this annoying, but effective...

  18. Back breaking work... literally...

    bebbercorn replied to ICUJennRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Sorry to hear! It must be really hard for you because you love what you do, but ICU is really physical and you might end up damaging yourself more. Although I must say, whatever floor I work on I end...

  19. First code, question about family notification

    bebbercorn replied to blackvans1234's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Agree with all of the above, the outlook doesn't look good and the Doc might have hinted that they should be

  20. need advice

    bebbercorn replied to amber24c's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think always putting emphasis on the positive is what they are looking for. I know a hiring manager who hired a girl who had on her resume that she was convicted of smoking pot. She was honest about...

  21. Class starts Monday!!

    bebbercorn replied to kikiz147's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations! Buy a tape recorder. Recording classes enabled me to listen to lectures in the car and by the end of school I hardly opened my textbooks, I only made A's and B's. I hope this helps!...

  22. hep b vaccine

    bebbercorn replied to Nursingstudent93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it helps I was overseas when I got accepted into nursing school and was not able to attend "mandatory orientation" and I didn't get my paperwork to the school until I arrived one week later. My...

  23. Accuracy of Automatic BP machines?

    bebbercorn replied to blackvans1234's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer automatic but it depends on availability of the cuff... they seem to be hidden away in the clean utilities or somewhere always. When I work at MD's office, when I have the chart available...

  24. Stony Brook's Hiring Process

    bebbercorn replied to tigralvovna's topic in New York Nursing

    I applied for ED, the interview seemed to go well and she brought me to the floor to interview with that team as well. (I interviewed with Anna). She mentioned salary and said "If I say everything...

  25. Stony Brook's Hiring Process

    bebbercorn replied to tigralvovna's topic in New York Nursing

    I also just interviewed with them, and currently I'm working per diem for a Stony Brook affiliate. The office manager told me it can take up to two months, they have to post the jobs online to give...
