    Appropriate gift for co-workers when leaving job?

    RNsRWe replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in General Nursing

    that's a twist: you're the one leaving, and instead of expecting to RECEIVE a going-away gift, you're planning to give one? Very nice :) Hard to say what's appropriate, since it certainly isn't the...

    Does your hospital or facility badge include your credentials?

    RNsRWe replied to icuRNmaggie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sounds like Wal-Mart

    Does having an ADN over a BSN matter when searching for a job in North Carolina?

    RNsRWe replied to CandaceK's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Does your hospital or facility badge include your credentials?

    RNsRWe replied to icuRNmaggie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    After two pages of posts, OP, I'm sure you realize that yours is not the norm. Credentials are appropriate on an ID badge. Pretty sure the MDs don't have "John" and 'doctor' underneath.... Then...

    Current LPN about to take RN-NCLEX

    RNsRWe replied to irishnurse84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, Irish! Please stop freaking out :) I can't speak to the difficulty of one exam over the other; fact is, once you've already taken one exam, it might seem *easier* to take the next one because...

    OMG, I FAILED!!!!

    RNsRWe replied to Xaldin4life RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    sorry you're in this boat; when you get the official results you'll also get a performance report, which will tell you where your weak areas were. For clarification: the format of the questions (SATA,...

    New Job

    RNsRWe replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    Good point! There was a time when the advice for a job hunter was to get dressed up, put on a shining smiling face, and walk the resume in the door, asking for HR. Today that's not the case, with...

    New BSN grad fired after 5 weeks of orientation

    RNsRWe replied to Kinar's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Most applications require actual application forms to be submitted (along with the resume). It's standard for the form to say "list all places and dates of employment". If the OP fails to include...

    Scholarships for work commitment?

    RNsRWe replied to notnursezelda's topic in General Students

    Interesting, this had been practically non-existent for several years. Wonder if it's trending back for some reason? Hate to say it, but one reason definitely comes to mind: once someone is...

    Work as CNA with RN License? Is this allowed?

    RNsRWe replied to SwtPea2010's topic in General Students

    Ah, gotcha. Well, I guess when someone calls an individual facility's HR, they're more likely to find an answer that applies than on an international message board, anyway. There are some very...

    I don't know if I will go back to school now

    RNsRWe replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, but as has been mentioned, you have some decisions to make. No one on here can really help with that; only you know what your family needs are or may be in the future. Some people want to be a...

    Work as CNA with RN License? Is this allowed?

    RNsRWe replied to SwtPea2010's topic in General Students

    Ok, but an APRN is still an RN. I think the point is that it's unlikely an RN will find work as a tech (and a facility will allow

    Work as CNA with RN License? Is this allowed?

    RNsRWe replied to SwtPea2010's topic in General Students

    You really believe this? Nursing is a fairly small world. It's easy to find a license someone would like to hide....and it doesn't take long to figure out someone is being shady, evasive on...

    Scholarships for work commitment?

    RNsRWe replied to notnursezelda's topic in General Students

    Metropolitan areas, no. Popular cities/suburbs....no. They don't need to, qualified people are already there. Rural areas, less-popular areas of the country.....yes. As in everything today, there's...

    RNsRWe replied to AnnaRuthBeckel's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know someone said somewhere here that she/he worked in a nursing home and no one required proof of vaccination, but IF this is true, it's an anomaly. I have never heard of a legitimate, licensed...
