    Of course your prospective employer will find out why you left your last job; what makes you think they won't? If you give false information on your application, you can/will be terminated after you...

    NCLEX PN Result in New York - NYSED asking for Infection Control Training

    RNsRWe replied to Nars7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If your course was completed only two years ago, it seems the BoN just needs the proof. Submit it, call them to verify receipt; sounds like a paperwork drop is

    NCLEX PN Result in New York - NYSED asking for Infection Control Training

    RNsRWe replied to Nars7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's covered in the last part of nursing school; the thing is a 20-question quiz, no big deal. That and the Mandated Child Abuse Reporter requirement students usually don't even remember dealing...

    Keeping in touch with patients

    RNsRWe replied to baygrl11's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Aside from the ethical and professional issues already posted, you might want to consider the legal ones. What if your "how's your health?" question results in this person telling you all about...

    RNsRWe replied to 2bnursemia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You really, REALLY need to speak with (face-to-face, not online) an academic advisor at the school you're interested in attending. Speak with a nursing program admissions advisor, and find out what...

    Mandatory flu shots????

    RNsRWe replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    People really need to know whether something is worthy of recognition before giving it credibility. Grabbing this idiot's article as some kind of proof-positive that there's no real reason to get a...

    Pediatric Nurse

    RNsRWe replied to ramosyasmin16's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't. The OP is a high school student with many questions (on many threads) about nursing, how to get into L&D, that sort of thing. I think she's just trying to figure it all out

    no new grads allowed in hospitals?

    RNsRWe replied to ramosyasmin16's topic in General Nursing

    It's not that new grads are "not allowed in hospitals". It is, however, increasingly difficult for new grads to find hospital employment as there are usually far more of them than there are vacant...

    It takes the same amount of time to become an RN whether your desire is L&D (as you have posted many times before) or pediatrics, oncology, anything. RNs do not graduate with a specialty; the...

    I've done other jobs and realize where nursing stress is on that list....pretty DANGED high. Yes, that taxi driver *may* have been faced with a gun or knife, but so may a nurse have been. He might get...

    discrimination in the nursing field

    RNsRWe replied to Kennyspicy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yep, wrong word chosen. Tough competition isn't the same as employment discrimination. People are definitely sensitive to those differences, so you'll want to be very careful when choosing such...

    Are there too many nursing programs out there?

    RNsRWe replied to johndough's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are too many programs graduating too many new nurses, and this has been the case for years. If you happen to live in an area that is saturated with nurses you can expect heavy competition for...

    TV Nurses

    RNsRWe replied to MAH82's topic in General Nursing

    I think the TV show portrayals are exactly spot-on. My co-workers all are super-skinny, with perfect hair and makeup all the time. There's only two or three nurses in the hospital at any one time,...
