  2. Where should I buy my interview clothes?

    schnookimz replied to meeks123's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Have you tried express or the limited? They have nice dress pants and blouses and often have sales of 40 percent off which is when I usually pick things

  3. Rude/ Inconsiderate nurses during clinicals

    schnookimz replied to arose26's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    schnookimz replied to jd2nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  9. When should I test?

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

    Do you feel like you need to study that much? I only had two days notice when I took my test so I looked over some practice questions in those two days. If you're worried, why don't you start

  11. FURIOUS at RNs at school

    schnookimz replied to 2bRNifitkillsme's topic in General Students

    My only insight is that you might want to learn to make nice because I'm not sure where else you'll get hired with only a diploma when there's a ton of BSN grads clamoring for

  14. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    schnookimz replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think floors should have a policy in place regarding weight and assistance. For example, if they weigh less than 100 lbs then 1 assist. 100-200 lbs is 1-2 assist. 200-300 lbs is 2-3 assist and so...

  16. Would you accept this call out excuse?

    schnookimz replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't understand why it's anyone's business why someone calls off. I remember calling in once and saying I was sick and the charge asked what's wrong with me. Honestly, it's none of your business!!!...

    schnookimz replied to KristenHuerta's topic in General Nursing

    Who are you scared they're going to tell? Just don't use them as a reference. If someone calls them for employment verification because they appear on your résumé then HR can only do that --verify...

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

    schnookimz replied to Marsha238612's topic in Illinois Nursing

    RSA medical in Naperville sure is hiring RNs but when I was a new grad they offered me 18 dollars an hour. That's not a liveable wage in Chicago and frankly insulting as an RN. The job I accepted paid...

  22. Clinicals

    schnookimz replied to YasminLassiter's topic in General Students

    Just to give the nurses a little credit, they are slowed down by students, students can get in their way, bother their patient, and they aren't paid any extra to help a student. So while I understand...

  24. BP cuff not required?!

    schnookimz replied to erint91DC's topic in General Students

    When I was in clinical we weren't even allowed to use our own bp cuffs. The facilities wanted us to use their materials because they knew that they worked and were calibrated
