    RunBabyRN replied to labordude's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yay!! How exciting!! Congratulations! I hope you love it!

  2. Community to OB Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to NewGrad2014's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is the position for an experienced OB RN, or is it a training position? This would be a good question for the interviewers if you don't already know. One of the things I hear a lot from managers is...

  3. RN for 3-5 years experience

    RunBabyRN replied to H233's topic in General Students

    You might be surprised how many people create posts asking for exactly this, which is why I posted what I

  4. Seeking guidance for pursuing a second bachelor's--In Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to sbjj0701's topic in General Students

    Yes, you are correct- you can do your prereqs through a community college (or university, if you want to spend the $$, but there's not generally an advantage). You will need to apply for the programs...

  5. Tips on what to read for the Nclex

    RunBabyRN replied to findingyoshie's topic in General Students

  6. RN for 3-5 years experience

    RunBabyRN replied to H233's topic in General Students

    It's not advised that anyone post e-mail addresses on a public forum. Additionally, if your homework is to interview nurses, you need to actually INTERVIEW nurses. You have no way of knowing if...

  7. Anyone in Sacramento

    RunBabyRN replied to LoveableICU's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not in Sac, but can you be more specific with your question? Perhaps we can

  8. Resume check please

    RunBabyRN replied to Lina_k89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Don't describe what you did at each, but actually, not all schools do the same clinical rotations. I listed out what I did for my preceptorship, but here's what I have for my other clinicals: Other...

  9. Resume check please

    RunBabyRN replied to Lina_k89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Take out the objective. Of course you want a nursing job where you will use your education. I agree about putting in more about your nursing school experience. Put your rotations and how many hours...

  10. What is the appeal of the hospital?

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

    A lot of hospitals still do five 8 hour shifts per week; not all do three 12s. For me personally, acute care: Means I can move to almost any job, in or out of a hospital Will help me get into my...

  11. First RN job offer - assisted living. Will it kill my career?

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

    While it's obviously not ideal, RN experience is better than restaurant experience, ya know? There are a few new grad programs out there that want people with NO RN experience at all, but most are OK...

  12. Unsure???

    RunBabyRN replied to patriotgal181's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think we need more specifics to really help identify what it is that's unappealing for you. Being an RN is very different from being a CNA (though the CNA scope is within the RN scope, and you may...

  13. Should I take Human Biology?

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

    I would have to imagine it'll be helpful when you get into A&P. Certainly won't set you back! Having a strong grasp on the Kreb's cycle and some of that stuff will be

  14. Fill the gap, easy beneficial class

    RunBabyRN replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any kind of language (something common in your area), human development, abnormal psych, anything like that. Medical terminology isn't usually required, but if it's new to you, a class can be...

  15. Moving to california

    RunBabyRN replied to charlalynn's topic in California Nursing

    I wouldn't even consider moving here without a job lined up. California, especially the major metropolitan areas, has the worst market in the entire US for nurses across the board, and with the push...

  16. Moving to Cali

    RunBabyRN replied to Grace4life's topic in California Nursing

    I am aware of this, but it is rampant in Bakersfield and the Central Valley. It is in the air there. Coccidioidomycosis OP, try not to think of these responses as negativity, but rather,...

  17. Moving to San Diego

    RunBabyRN replied to Loloberry's topic in California Nursing

    Is there ANY possibility of getting at least a year of acute care experience? 7 months won't be enough to get you into a hospital and SD is SOOO competitive. Which base would you be on? You might...

  18. Moving to Cali

    RunBabyRN replied to Grace4life's topic in California Nursing

    I can't speak for all psych facilities, but I know that the state hospitals, the one local private inpatient unit, and the various psych facilities we did our clinical rotations in did not have LVNs....

  19. CALIFORNIA-PAY

    RunBabyRN replied to DANHAM's topic in California Nursing

    I would STRONGLY advise that you keep your e-mail or anything directly linked to you personally off this very public website. Are you a nurse in CA? I can tell you that the market is VERY...

  20. Question for interviewers

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

    I wonder if this is at least part of it. I do try to make it clear that I love to learn, that I want to learn, I am trainable, but I feel like I'm in this limbo of being too experienced and not...

  21. Pre-Req Question

    RunBabyRN replied to Path2BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll have to look at how each schools views Ws. Some don't care, some do. Call them and

  22. Pre-Nursing vs. Nursing?

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

    Nursing school is just a very different feel. The approach is very different, the exams are different, the expectations are different, there's a ton more reading, there's a gravity to the subject...

  23. How can I stand out at clinicals?

    RunBabyRN replied to futurenurse2be's topic in General Students

    Show that you are eager to learn. Lend a hand anywhere you can, and learn to anticipate needs. If the nurse likes your performance and says something to you, ask her to tell her manager. Introduce...

  24. Frustrated :(

    RunBabyRN replied to katie6126's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have heard mixed info on this, but I have heard more good than bad about new grads working in non-acute care settings while trying to get into acute care. Some new grad programs won't accept new...

  25. Stethoscope Case

    RunBabyRN replied to Elsie15's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just have a big bag that I can fit my portfolio (in lieu of a clipboard), all of my nursing stuff, etc into. I still do this as a nurse. Now I have my BP cuff, pulse ox, thermometer, and stuff to...
