    ceebeejay replied to Spikey9001's topic in Nursing Career

  7. Your Interview Outfits

    ceebeejay replied to RonnieDita's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Dress for the interview. If you are going to a small place, business casual is usually fine. If you are going to a big corporate facility then you need the business dress. Personally, I hate black...

    ceebeejay replied to sparenurse's topic in Home Health

    No warning? Just "bye"? Wow. I can empathize with your stress, but negativity will only breed bad. Try to learn and move

  10. Why do parents get mad when you send their kids home???

    ceebeejay replied to NurseEllie13's topic in School

    Speaking strictly as a parent (and no, I would never cuss and yell at the nurse, never), the pressure is from the employer. Workers are made to feel miserable when they leave because of their kids....

  11. Millennials in the workplace

    ceebeejay replied to ktwlpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My take on this, through observation, is that this generation grew up watching their parents work their behinds off and they have nothing to show for it. Most of the parents of this generation have...

    ceebeejay replied to 47inBrooklyn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If the alternative is going back to where I used to work, I have no regrets. I am not employed enough and money is hard to make, but I am happier still. Money is a temporary problem. Being...

  15. Some Patients Think H Stands for Hotel

    ceebeejay replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I get the annoyance, I really do. However, the patients are made to expect that by the advertisements that hospitals put out there. Yes, the RN has to say "no" and get on with RN things. I also...

  16. Like kissing my brother...

    ceebeejay posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Went to a nursing career fair today. Should have been called a nursing college recruiting fair. The employers that were there separated the "new grads" off and gave you a flyer to their website....

  17. Med-Surg Albatross

    ceebeejay posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have not worked on a med-surg floor. The only experience I have of it were during my clinicals in school, and I loved it. Of course, I only had two patients at a time. What is so bad about...

  18. Advice!

    ceebeejay replied to mrskrobbins's topic in Nursing Career

    The actual math for nursing is not bad at all. Just ratio proportions mostly. I used to be math phobic, but math is like a sport, if you practice you get great. If you have trouble with your...

  19. Tips on dealing with difficult parents

    ceebeejay replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    I don't think you really can "deal" with them, because one way or another they are going to find *something* to focus on besides all the stuff that ventmommy mentioned. It's a matter of providing the...

    ceebeejay replied to ceebeejay's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    ceebeejay replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    You are so right. I am just learning this about nursing. I came to it from a business background and no healthcare experience. Nursing is weird. One moment you see a bazillion nurses leading a...

    ceebeejay replied to yukka99's topic in Travel

    I hope you get some answers, because this very question popped into my head this morning for some random reason that I cannot figure out.

  24. Feeling worthless

    ceebeejay replied to ceebeejay's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am taking this all in, thank you. I am trying to find ways to relieve the stress. The listen to that voice screaming inside of my head that tells me to get up and walk or pray or whatever. Thank...

  25. Nurses are Not Doctors

    ceebeejay replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    That's why doctors are called "doctors" and nurse practitioners are called "nurse practitioners" and they have different and separate licensing requirements. I don't know a NP that, when faced with a...
