  1. Resume Advise....Please

    mtngrl replied to BansheebabeRn's topic in General Nursing

    Your objective just needs to be the first sentence you wrote, short and sweet. The rest of the things you wrote in the objective should be put in your cover letter, not on the resume. Include if you...

  2. Non-Hospital jobs for new grads

    mtngrl replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    I was hired into a peds office as a new grad (i'm an RN). I did not know anyone there either so that's not how I got hired. The director said she liked giving new grads a chance there. You don't use...

  3. In Need of Serious Help

    mtngrl replied to pnurseuwm's topic in Nursing Career

    I have not enjoyed nursind either. I have tried hospital, Dr's office, and now I am doing the least nursing I can, which is "meds only" nurse for group homes. It's just a few hours, and that's all I...

  4. Nursing Pay

    mtngrl replied to haninks's topic in General Nursing

    Where the heck do you live that you think that's not great money? Beverly Hills? Because I'd LOVE to make 48k a year.....it's MORE than enough to live

  5. ? Signing bomus?

    mtngrl replied to battlingbill2002's topic in General Nursing

    If you are a new nurse, and not happy, then a sign-on bonus is not going to make you any happier. Then you are just tied in to a place you may end up hating as well. Really good places where the...

  6. grrrrrrrrrr.........

    mtngrl replied to luvkitties's topic in General Nursing

    Whe I was in the hospital I noticed a lot of the nurses that had been nurses for years did not wear gloves to start IV's or they would tear off the fingertip. That is something they had been use to...

  7. nursing jobs for wife right out of nursing school

    mtngrl replied to retrvrman's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of people find it easier to tell complete strangers their problems because they don't want anyone they know to know about their problems. So that is why they come here

  8. Three 12's vs. 7 on/off

    mtngrl replied to ADNgrad2006's topic in General Nursing

    I think you would get tired of working 7 days straight. And then after being off 7 days, you might feel sorta disorganized when you get

  9. nursing jobs for wife right out of nursing school

    mtngrl replied to retrvrman's topic in General Nursing

    Um this man said he was a sex addict?????? Well duh, no wonder she acts how she does. She has probably been hurt so many times by this man who is supposed to be her husband and be faithful to her that...

  10. Where did 12 hour shifts come from?

    mtngrl replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I do not think 4 days off are worth the 3 12's. I did it for only a little while and I felt so screwed up and unhealthy and I will never do them again. Like someone else said, you do need a...

  11. leaving after 6 months...feeling GUILTY! HELP!

    mtngrl replied to circusgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I am just curious...you have already been hired at this new place.... so did they not check with your current employer as a reference? So wouldn't they already have an idea you are leaving? Most...

  12. nursing jobs for wife right out of nursing school

    mtngrl replied to retrvrman's topic in General Nursing

    OMG I cannot believe your wife! She is actually considering moving away from you and her kids because she thinks she will make a few dollars more???? Why is she in nursing...for the money? She will...

  13. Been a nurse for a year and a half with no real skills

    mtngrl replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Nursing Career

    If you go for the hospital then you better make real sure they know your skills are a little rusty. Because since you are not a "new" nurse you probably will not get the orientation that you really...

  14. Anyone work weekends only?

    mtngrl replied to teresab_2000's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, that is not a good idea. For the kids, maybe...but only until they are in school. Otherwise you would never be doing anything together because weekends would be the only time you could...

  15. Who does the patient assignments on your unit?

    mtngrl replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    Where I previously worked the charge nurse made assignments, of course. If I were you I would speak to someone about that. It doesn't make any sense. So what does your charge nurse

  16. Need help.....quitting job

    mtngrl replied to BrandNewNurse's topic in General Nursing

    First off 7 12-hr shifts in a row is ludicrous! That is just bad for your health in my opinion....and especially not what you should be doing pregnant. I would tell them that you just cannot do that...

  17. Anybody get a job right out of nursing school other than in a hospital?

    mtngrl replied to csiln's topic in General Nursing

    I got a job working part time at a pediatrician's office right out of school. When I moved tried the hospital bit but that lasted a month..will never ever go that route again! You can certainly find...

  18. New Grad-What should I do?

    mtngrl replied to exairex's topic in First Year After Licensure

    exairex- Maybe hospitals just aren't a good fit for you. I do think 6 patients is way too much for a new nurse. Your hospital doesn't sound like the best place to be....perhaps you should look for a...

  19. Ever Get Insomnia B-4 Work?

    mtngrl replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    I work at all sorts of different times (prn) at a group home, usually in the evening. Occasionally I will start at 7am. I don't do that often because whenever I have to be at work really early, I...

  20. suspension

    mtngrl replied to bradleau's topic in General Nursing

    You seriously need some more clothes or you need to do laundry more

  21. Are all places like this?

    mtngrl replied to Dallas_bound_06's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you need a new

  22. Are You Happy ?

    mtngrl replied to buildingmyfaith57's topic in General Nursing

    I would say I am pretty happy overall. Though I am NOT happy with my career. I am always thinking about whether I should change it. I am very happy with my life style. My husband and I decided last...

  23. Nurses and money.......

    mtngrl replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    Actually the military pays very well. Maybe if you are new to it it doesn't but if you are new to any job you start out at the bottom. Once you go up in rank and get experience the pay is very good...

  24. Millions of nurses can do it. Why can't I??

    mtngrl replied to peachysweetness78's topic in First Year After Licensure

  25. New charge nurses

    mtngrl replied to eggburnc's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was basically very inexperienced when I went from working a few months part time in a peds office to full-time in a hospital. I did not know anything it seemed! Yet I was scheduled to be charge...
