  1. Got into new grad program but didn't pass NCLEX. I passed now, should I contact?

    schnookimz replied to TooProudToMention's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Now. She should know by now if they'll be having a spring program. You need to start applying for jobs, you can just wait two months for something that may not even be

  2. New Nurse Fired After 3 months (cant find another job)

    schnookimz replied to silentwolves's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I cannot believe you were fired for that. It seems ridiculous. I mean that's the reason you sign the incident report---so that if they need more info they can just ask

  3. Fired...How will I get another job?

    schnookimz replied to Apedro's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well why were you fired? I think the reason kind of depends on whether or not you should put them on your résumé or let a future employer contact them. A background check may produce your record of...

  4. Considering WGU--need to hear from current/past students...

    schnookimz replied to applemom's topic in Western Governors University

    It's absolutely doable. My biggest struggle was feeling like "why am I doing this. I don't HAVE to do this." I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to schoolwork. That said, it's been a great...

  5. I am failing

    schnookimz replied to jead's topic in General Students

    You can do it. Pharm isn't so bad. Just study. Comprehensive is probably better because it means there will be some super easy stuff mixed in from the beginning of the

  6. Scared to Work

    schnookimz replied to Nola009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm on your side. I would NEVER take one of those positions. Hold out for something better and at least START your BSN

  7. 5 weeks and no att!?

    schnookimz replied to cmm4ever's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine took at least 5 weeks, longer I think. Why don't you try asking the school if their check had been

  8. I'm seriously debating to drop anatomy class

    schnookimz replied to funsizedprenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your school is cracked. In no way is it "cheating" to drop a class and restart it in a new

  10. if i sign an official offer (no contract), am I obligated?

    schnookimz replied to tarotale's topic in Nursing Career

    Sign the papers and send them back in to hold yourself a job just in case the second hospital doesn't work out. You are in no way obligated to work at the first

  11. Dealing with attitude as a new RN

    schnookimz replied to osamejrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I want to mention---they were so crazy and condescending that when one of the new nurses got hired, she told them "my name is Natalia but I go by Nat" and her preceptor told her she hated the name Nat...

  12. Dealing with attitude as a new RN

    schnookimz replied to osamejrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I swear I worked in the exact same unit. I finally left after three years. It was only bad the last year or so and could be nailed down to 4 or 5 terrible seeds. I had a million discussions with the...

  13. Wow so i won't find a job?!

    schnookimz replied to Marsha238612's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Sorry but I can't live on 18 or 9 dollars in my area and pay my bills. Also the 7 dollar bonus you spoke of, I was told by the company that is available after 1 year of meeting all goals. Not worth...

  14. Is there any truth to this?

    schnookimz replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Learned today that the average temp in an esrd patient is 97.0 so a fever is anything over

  15. Davita people

    schnookimz replied to schnookimz's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I think these are definitely unisex scrubs. My bottom barely squeezed into them but then they were about 10 sizes too large around the waist. Lol not made for

  16. Davita people

    schnookimz posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Can anyone comment on the sizing of the davita scrubs? Do they run big? Small? Long?

  17. Stethoscope...what are you using?

    schnookimz replied to nolansmom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I used to think they were all the same. Lately I misplaced my littman and have been using a cheap crappy one and WOW can I tell the difference. I can't hear anything!!! I literally have to listen for...

  18. 2 Possible Positions

    schnookimz replied to applesxoranges's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd take the full time med surg. More hours, more money, familiar setting. You aren't for sure in the residency program and it doesn't guarantee you a

  19. PCT job interview, going to have a written quiz

    schnookimz replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    In my experience, it's never scenarios or situations. It's generally a short math and English

  20. New Grad RN with 7 years LPn experience...question

    schnookimz replied to MMAnurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    This is true at my dialysis company as well. Not sure if it's a federal regulation or a company policy. Why would you want to be alone anyway? The more hands the better

  21. Got a question and want to see what you guys think

    schnookimz replied to amandapanda2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. Has anyone been to a DaVita open house?

    schnookimz replied to ffliper27's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Chicagoland.

  23. Has anyone been to a DaVita open house?

    schnookimz replied to ffliper27's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I really don't know. I assumed they would notify you either way. There was almost a month between when I got my offer and when I started bc they had to do a background check and drug test and then...

  24. Has anyone been to a DaVita open house?

    schnookimz replied to ffliper27's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I don't remember exactly. I probably applied some time in August and I ended up starting in acutes the third week of October. So far so

  25. Has anyone been to a DaVita open house?

    schnookimz replied to ffliper27's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I didn't go to an open house, but I did find my hiring process with them very straight forward and communicative. They didn't always call the day they said they would, but they did call within a day...
