  1. New RN texting Dr. advice

    RunBabyRN replied to Animorpha's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have an on-call job, and if you don't respond to a text from the clinic, they'll call you pretty soon after. I would think that a text that goes unacknowledged should be followed up with a phone...

  2. Area of nursing with the least amount of vomit?

    RunBabyRN replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I do home infusions and health fairs, and I just accepted a urology position. So far, no vomiting there. I also work at a birth center, and I've been lucky so far, but vomit

  3. Is there such thing as a Perinatal Nurse Practitioner?

    RunBabyRN replied to BrooklynHD's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If the L&D RN role is what you want, I wouldn't waste the money and time on a master's, unless it was required for the position. WHNP and CNM are the closest things, but neither of those function...

  4. Job prospect for males

    RunBabyRN replied to kabooski's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think you're the only one making your gender an issue. For the most part, jobs don't care about your gender. I hope that the lead you have is working

  5. No ATT?

    RunBabyRN replied to JLB1215's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We had the same issue, but once the stuff got to the BRN, things got processed pretty quickly, and my ATT came soon after. I know it's frustrating. Believe me. I had a job offer that I was chomping...

  6. Urgent -NCLEX ON FRIDAY

    RunBabyRN replied to MS3517's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Try not to read anything into your license not yet being posted. Mine posted in CA in just under 48 hours, but I have classmates where it took a good 6 weeks. I know it's really hard to be patient....

  7. Does everyone feel like they bomb nclex after taking it?

    RunBabyRN replied to ALORN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When mine shut off after 75 questions, my hand went to my mouth, like, "Oh my God, I just failed hard." I was CERTAIN I'd failed, and I left in tears. I got cheesecake and wine and drowned my...

  8. compensation in your state

    RunBabyRN replied to bjy26's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    @DatMurse, there are certainly always exceptions, but I think it's fair to say that's not the rule, and it's certainly not something people should be counting on, especially as new

  9. What should I do?

    RunBabyRN replied to RNhere's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Call

  10. Applying to jobs out of state

    RunBabyRN replied to lilnursey'15's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, I wouldn't aim for NY or CA, as those are two of the most saturated states for new nurses. Honestly, it's more like North Dakota and rural Oklahoma that are taking new grads right

  11. Selection for Fit assessment

    RunBabyRN replied to tsm007's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ah, yes, I had some of those in my application time. HATE

  12. Getting acute expereince to get into SNF/nursing home? Huh?

    RunBabyRN replied to Summers3's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Each SNF is different in this respect. I am also in CA, and I held a position (for a short time) at a SNF. It REALLY wasn't for me, but that's me. It can certainly be a way to utilize your skills...

  13. compensation in your state

    RunBabyRN replied to bjy26's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    CA is not the solution, I can promise you that, especially without your BSN. Pay here is good, but not always, and the cost of living is very expensive, and the job market is the most saturated in...

  14. RN Job Hunt in SF Bay Area

    RunBabyRN replied to jrm24's topic in California Nursing

    No more hiring; they were only looking for one nurse (to replace the one who is retiring- there is only one in the clinic, and one more in the sister clinic). It's a urology clinic, but I will float...

  15. New Grad RN Residency vs Staff Nurse

    RunBabyRN replied to melie23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think for most of us, it's a matter of what you are accepted into/offered. I applied to both, and I am about to start a staff nurse position at a clinic. I kept my search very wide, including all...

  16. RN Job Hunt in SF Bay Area

    RunBabyRN replied to jrm24's topic in California Nursing

    If you haven't already, start scouring Craigslist daily. I have 3 jobs that I found on there, and the experience from those helped me to find the full time job in a clinic affiliated with one of the...

  17. New grads and Social Media

    RunBabyRN replied to NICU Guy's topic in General Students

    People think their privacy setting can protect them, but it doesn't take much to find people these days. I actually do have coworkers, managers and former instructors on Facebook, and I am careful to...

  18. The College Name on a BSN

    RunBabyRN replied to Jiminy's topic in General Students

    Your alma mater isn't of much importance in nursing, unless you went to a school with a really poor reputation. It won't give you an advantage for schools or

  19. Decisions, Decisions...

    RunBabyRN replied to Christina25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is the ADN program through a tech school? If so, I would strongly urge you to avoid it at all costs. Are there no prereqs for it? What is the market like where you live? Is there a preference for...

  20. Please help, almost 2 years and no job!

    RunBabyRN replied to cc8671's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree about looking outside the box. Craigslist helped me get my first 3 nursing jobs, all ones I worked at the same time. I did health fairs through Maxim (agency- Google them!), home IV...

  21. Military LPN experience

    RunBabyRN replied to kjharris's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am a former corpsman and new grad RN. Your medic experience will not be counted as nursing experience, and your LPN experience won't count as RN experience. You'll be lumped in with all of the...

  22. Do you get sick alot working as a nurse?

    RunBabyRN replied to Healthcare102's topic in General Nursing

    I am rarely sick, but I also take good care of myself. With my home infusion job, many of my patients are immune-compromised, so I have to be especially cautious- a challenge with a first grader at...

  23. Networking within Nursing: Moving to a new city

    RunBabyRN replied to AlexRPerrin's topic in General Nursing

    Even knowing someone isn't a guarantee. I have been applying like crazy (I also graduated 6 months ago), and I have connections all over the place, with 15 years of other healthcare experience, and...

  24. New Grad May 2014 No Job

    RunBabyRN replied to rmodi5's topic in New York Nursing

    I agree with TTA- volunteering can help you network and gain invaluable experience. Look up free clinics and get in touch with them. Also, look outside of the traditional work environments. I...

  25. What does San Diego pay?

    RunBabyRN replied to mursinary's topic in California Nursing

    You can find a lot of this stuff if you hunt around. For example, here's a job posting for a position through the San Francisco Department of Public Health, who also posts positions for San Francisco...
