  1. Jury duty and new grad program

    IGSD777 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi all! I'm looking for some suggestions as to what I can write to try to get excused from jury duty. Before anyone reminds me of my important civic duty, I want to explain that the reason I'm trying...

  2. Jury duty and new grad program

    IGSD777 replied to IGSD777's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Guys, they excused me!! I only asked for a postponement and explained my situation. I'm so relieved, even though I know it isn't a huge deal, that's one less thing for me to have to worry about....

  3. Jury duty and new grad program

    IGSD777 replied to IGSD777's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I filled the form out online and asked for a postponement. Hopefully everything will go as planned. I was too afraid to ignore the letter, and actually, I think I may have been late responding, but...

    Yup, I hear cops are

  5. Jury duty and new grad program

    IGSD777 replied to IGSD777's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Darn, I really wish they excused nurses if they wanted to be excused! There are a million other people who would love to serve on a jury, even lots of nurses who enjoy/don't mind it..just not me

  6. Jury duty and new grad program

    IGSD777 replied to IGSD777's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for your reply. I think I'll try to postpone for now, just in case they deny the excuse request. I'll have to figure this all out, this is the second time I've been called for jury duty, but...

  7. Questions about Private Duty Nursing

    IGSD777 replied to marbear28's topic in Private Duty

    Hmm, I make very good money as a private duty nurse. My rate is the same as the hospitals/facilities around, but I pick up lots of OT, whereas some facilities don't like their nurses to work

  8. Home Health

    IGSD777 replied to tlovella20's topic in Private Duty

    I'm in the same boat as you, but RN. Some will probably disagree but, yes, I do believe it stunts career growth as a first job. I think private duty is better suited for nurses with experience,...

  9. NJ nurses help! Need advice!

    IGSD777 replied to Ramonarudeau's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm an ADN RN in NJ and can tell you it will be very difficult to find a hospital job without your BSN. Everything the previous poster said was true. If you think you'll like home care, long term...

  10. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

    IGSD777 replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

    I had plans on working in the hospital as a bedside nurse and staying there, because I really enjoyed it throughout nursing school, and thought I found my niche. I got my RN license this past April....

  11. What to do? Underwhelmed RN, stuck in a rut!

    IGSD777 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I graduated last December with my ASN and got my RN license in March 2016. In May my friend invited me to an open house at a private duty pediatrics agency and I applied for my first nursing job....

  12. What to do? Underwhelmed RN, stuck in a rut!

    IGSD777 replied to IGSD777's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, BSN is a must, even if I don't need it. I definitely think later on down the line BSN will be the minimum for an RN

  13. What to do? Underwhelmed RN, stuck in a rut!

    IGSD777 replied to IGSD777's topic in General Nursing

    I looked at quite a few threads who seem to agree with you! I have thought about per diem but the hospitals in my state only hire experienced per diem nurses. That's ok though, for now I'm following...

  14. What to do? Underwhelmed RN, stuck in a rut!

    IGSD777 replied to IGSD777's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard pretty good things about WGU, I'll definitely look into it. Congratulations on turning in your first MSN paper! I bet that feels

  15. What to do? Underwhelmed RN, stuck in a rut!

    IGSD777 replied to IGSD777's topic in General Nursing

    Everything you said helped put things in perspective for me! You're right, who cares, I'm still a nurse! I definitely need to check myself, I tend to care what others think often and I also tend to...

  16. What to do? Underwhelmed RN, stuck in a rut!

    IGSD777 replied to IGSD777's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your responses! I think the best option is to just continue what I'm doing now and slowly earn my BSN. I actually do enjoy my job a lot! I love the cases I have and I love working...

    I'm glad I'm not the only one! I tried it on my phone and lap top. I ended up just sending her an email through BCC to let her know I logged

    How's everyone doing? I just got my box of books and the rest I ordered will be coming on Tuesday, so I have a lot of reading to do! I still haven't bought my stethoscope, shoes or pants yet. The...

    Did anyone get the book for Med Admin yet? If so, do you know how much it is? I'm going to check that place in Marlton, I'm on such a budget right

    Open labs are just times you can go to the lab to practice your skills. The handbook said we should plan to do a minimum of an hour a week in open

    IGSD777 replied to Ms_Cass's topic in School, College Programs

    Does anyone know if the books are available yet? And for anyone taking NUR 103, have you gotten those books

    IGSD777 replied to Ms_Cass's topic in School, College Programs

    You have to get the top from BCC. It's a cranberry color. We buy white pants wherever we find them. That stethoscope is awesome!! Is the lab kit the black bag that we are supposed to

    How much are the clinical tops? And do you know if we need to call first to register for the CPR class, or just send the money order in? I found great shoes at shoeline.com for $70 and free shipping....
