or you could've taken time to read what i wrote earlier and know that all of that could not have been accomplished in a year. oooookayyyy

If I were you, depending on where you live and what hospitals/health systems offer, I'd do my best to either obtain a job as a nursing attendant (preferably in an ICU setting) or apply for nursing externships. Both seem to be the way to get your foot...

I think you should actively pursue this so your coworkers and HR can see what kind of snake in the grass you're acting like. If you don't have proof, stop being such a busy body. It is people such as yourself that hold nursing back as a profession co...

im not a new new nurse and have been nursing way longer than a year. don't let my incomplete profile allow you to draw so many conclusions about who i am. maybe it's time to stop being so bitter towards men.

depending on the acuity of the patients, i can promise you i am fighting to keep my patient assignments often. seriously i don't just make this up and i am sure it has a lot to do with unit culture. the difference is if a woman does not want me seein...

profile is old

You are lost

You keep referring back to this idea that you are the victim. FYI, I start IVs too. A lot of them. I lift, transfer, and ambulated pts, have my assignments switched constantly, and often leave much later than everyone else. I precept new cardiothorac...

It has nothing to do with misogyny but the fact that I'm consistently fighting to keep my patient assignments with the excuses consisting of, "she can't have that patient, she's pregnant" or "she can't have that patient he's too big." Equal rights do...

Call me whatever you want but we should be getting paid more for doing more lifting and taking on more difficult or high risk pts. I'm sorry but it's not my problem that a nurse is small or pregnant etc. those are not good enough reasons for not want...

I hope this doesnt come off as condescending as that is the complete opposite of my intention, but you're best bet in getting hired is signing up for a cheap BSN program. I work with some people who were only hired to our fellowship program because t...

Absolutely do that. So many of my peers are in various fellowships with me as a result of doing externships etc. Talent Acquisition will offer te hot item positions to those they know and internal candidates well before some random person offer the s...

Get a job as an aide and transfer internally as internal candidates are considered before external candidates. That's how I got my Cardiothoracic ICU fellowship position.

I am sorry to hear about the other attempts but hopefully 3rd time is a charm. How long did you wait btw exams? As I stated from my test plan above, I did about 5K of Qs in about 3 weeks time (keep in mind this includes retaking tests consisting of ...

I did it in conjunction with Kaplan bc ATI was offered through my school. Kaplan was way harder and will make you pass in 75 Qs. ATI is good so you don't get the easy Qs wrong but if I had to choose btw the two, I'd go with Kaplan 100% of the time. T...

Keep doing Qs and you'll be fine. I did Kaplan for 3 weeks and answered about 5000 Qs total in conjunction with ATI (from school). Kaplan's Qs is on par with the NCLEX and even some of my test Qs were from Kaplan. Just don't over do it to the point w...

NY is obv more expensive but that's really only if you live in Manhattan, Brooklyn, western Queens etc. Real estate ranges here. It all depends what you want and how close to Manhattan one wants to live. No offense to other cities/states but there's ...

Depends on the location. We still only make up about 10% of the workforce but changing careers was the best decision I have ever made. I have never felt so appreciated and gratified at work especially with all of the opportunity that is out there for...

Most out of state resumes get put to the bottom of the heap. That's not to say its not possible. Everyone says small unattractive cities (which I believe likely to be the best scenario), but very densely populated cities also require a great deal of ...

I've heard of a big one in Baltimore and there are many here in NY.

Lack of communication is the number one cause of med errors and sentinel events. Students and professionals alike need to find their voice. What's the worst that happens? Someone says you're wrong? That's much better than potentially harming a patien...

ADNs are being phased out. Research proves that they more BSNs a hospital has, the better patient outcomes occur. My best advice is to bear down and hand your business. Make as much sacrifice as you have to because it will pay off. You can do it and ...

Damn you guys should move to downstate NY. Entry level is starting at 37/hour without differential for nights or BSN right off the bat. 1500$ more per certification, etc etc.
