  1. First Job - Not A Great Facility, Take It Or No?

    -AO- replied to BrooklynRN11201's topic in Emergency

    Take. The. Job. As hortona1 says, experience is experience. Would you rather be making some money and gaining experience (both will help you get your dream job), or would you rather risk it and...

  2. Choosing between two job offers- new grad rn dilemma

    -AO- replied to mladolphin's topic in Nursing Career

    Tough choice. Honestly, everything I've heard/read seems to point to starting in acute care if you have that option. It seems (at least here in CA) that sub-acute care won't help you get into acute...

  3. Certifications?

    -AO- replied to CP2013's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've seen both for the RN/BSN ... I chose BSN, RN. For the certs, I would just specify "ACLS, certified March, 2013", or something like that. Honestly, I'd focus more on drawing attention to your...

  7. Resume help for a newly graduate nurse

    -AO- replied to cltollison's topic in Nursing Career

    I would recommend formatting it according to how the HR tells you to (each hospital/hr may ask for specifics). Otherwise, work on post-graduate things to add (acls, pals, bls, tele cert, any classes...

  8. A shoutout to all you guys...

    -AO- replied to gospa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Just study through a couple of NCLEX books (Saunders, Kaplan, etc.). I wouldn't pay for any of the NCLEX prep courses ... over-priced imo. Plus, you already know everything you need to pass the...

  11. Pay Rate

    -AO- replied to christinachamnong's topic in California Nursing
