  1. What color are your scrubs?

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Iliauna's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Requiring women to wear white pants is evil. For that reason alone I wouldn't work

  2. Nurse mates shoes, any good opinions

    NewYorkerGirl replied to gelibean's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bought the dove and they were good for about 7 months. I changed the insole and got them to last a year. For the price, I decided they weren't a good investment. Next time I'll spend an extra $50...

  3. What would you change about your scrubs??

    NewYorkerGirl replied to jessk2323's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just wish I could wear whatever color I

  4. Patients need a nurse, not a computer

    NewYorkerGirl replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Except those hospitals who put computers in patient rooms to require bedside charting. Then the patient gets to feel awkward as we pay more attention to the computer than the patient. Ugh. I prefer...

  5. BSN Only? Give me a break!!

    NewYorkerGirl replied to michaelvgrigsby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've heard this bias on allnurses against entry-level BSNs (and especially accelerated BSNs) so often I believed it. However, my manager hired me in part because I had double the senior preceptorship...

  6. Danskos

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MissCoCoKit_E's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Which one fits half sizes better? I'm a half-size, bought a size up in Dansko's (since they don't do halves) and am swimming in them. Danskos: never

  7. Sarasota memorial hospital nurse residency

    NewYorkerGirl replied to cmedar20's topic in Florida Nursing

    A friend of mine was just hired there. They hire new grads to the floors anytime and have a year-long residency. Sometimes they have specialized residencies like ER. She has an ASN, not BSN. They...

  8. If you could change one thing in your career what would it be..

    NewYorkerGirl replied to dixieyid305's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you pay out of pocket for a dr. visit, it isn't a small fee. Mine is $180, so I haven't seen a dr. while I've been uninsured. The NP is the same price. The regular labs they run cost hundreds as...

  9. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank. I just wanted acute care, I don't care what unit because my goal is to be an FNP, so I'm just after experience right now. So yeah, I'm

  10. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks. I got a job in FL, and I hate FL. I can't believe I have to endure 2 more years here. My only hope is if Vandy calls before I sign the

  11. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    Well, I'm not going to Vandy; I accepted another job. I'm feeling

  12. Question about Neuro RN

    NewYorkerGirl replied to CasseyMicheel's topic in Neurological

    I'm not the OP, but I'm interviewing for neuro soon. As a new grad, I'm throwing spaghetti at the wall and will take anything. What makes you say neuro chose you? How will I know I'm a good fit for...

  13. Abusing staff nurses to do "presentation"-- can they do this to us?!

    NewYorkerGirl replied to 3rdwing's topic in Neurological

    That's not acceptable. No one should be expected to work for free. If nurses chose to do this so they can add to their resume or contribute to humanity, have at it. Otherwise, pay the nurses for the...

  14. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    I wonder how many people they lose by taking so long? You would think they'd have a faster turnaround to get the best candidates. What are you going to do,

  15. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah, previous threads said the no's come out first, then the waitlists, then the acceptance offers are last! I was told at the interview we should all know our status by Dec. 1st, not 6th, but that...

  16. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    Congrats to you! That might happen to me. I have an interview next week for a fabulous hospital, and the recruiter said my resume is perfect and it's hard for them to find nurses this time of year....

  17. School Nurse sued under 4th Amendment

    NewYorkerGirl replied to feelix's topic in School

    Wasn't there a head of nursing at the school board she could have called and asked? I worked as a school health aide, and was told if I had any questions, call Nurse X and here's the

  18. must have graduated from a accredited school of nursing

    NewYorkerGirl replied to steffuturelpn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Every single job I've applied for demanded an accredited nursing program. Every single

  19. Comparable pay to NY??

    NewYorkerGirl replied to VCRN84's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yeah, I can't understand why food costs so much. Homeowners insurance: hurricanes, car insurance: lots of accidents and bad/uninsured drivers, but food? I don't get it. Sorry about your house. Lots of...

  20. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2014

    NewYorkerGirl replied to ama3t's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'm a little confused about your question. I don't think an NP is another undergrad program. If you're thinking about a BSN, you can get federal loans for an undergrad after 180 credit hours. A lot...

  21. Legacy RN Versant Residency 2015 Winter

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Valhalla050's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Because I'd have to go there for the second one. I've spent a lot searching for a needle in a haystack already. I'm thisclose to applying to

  22. starting pay

    NewYorkerGirl replied to wayemika's topic in Florida Nursing

    Cool. I don't know anything about Baycare. Do they play that game where nightshift pay starts at 11 PM, and there's a $3 or so "evening" differential? My HCA hospital did that. *shudder* Staffing...

  23. Interview at Duke

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Daisy90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I applied. Haven't heard

  24. Applying out of state

    NewYorkerGirl replied to RNhere's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's been a struggle for me to find an out-of-state job. Everyone wants to hire their locals, even though I've gone in person to interviews to prove my interest. Try university medical centers at...

  25. 21 Things you never mention at a hospital job interview

    NewYorkerGirl replied to prettyboyswag's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Skimming resumes instead of reading them... I hate how many questions I'm getting about patient satisfaction. It seems hiring managers for hospitals may as well work for Burger King. How about asking...
