  1. Deciding between jobs

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

    Well, the offer for Job A came in today. My second interview for Job C is in the morning, so I asked if I could get back to her with an answer. If the ICU job doesn't get offered, I will definitely...

  2. Elective courses for nursing programs

    RunBabyRN replied to NurseMo17's topic in General Students

    A language might be good, something commonly spoken in your area. Medical terminology, if not required, is helpful. Any psych, like death and dying, abnormal psych, child psych, etc. would

  3. What career is best for me?

    RunBabyRN replied to Deer2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It might be good to look at the medical approach to healthcare versus the nursing approach, as they are very different. I agree with RNsRWe, there is more than one kind of provider. You don't have...

  4. Cali new grad RN

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

    Every great once in awhile, Kaiser posts a new grad position, but 9 times out of 10, they are internally filled. I interviewed for one of these, and was set to get it, except that they had a last...

  5. How do you apply to different CSU Nursing programs...

    RunBabyRN replied to sandoom's topic in California Nursing

    You'll need to apply separately to each. The CSU application period is open now, and usually closes at the end of November. However, the nursing program application period is separate, and you'll...

  6. Need some positive insight about interview

    RunBabyRN replied to trello's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It sounds like they liked you, but had to break a tie between you and at least one other candidate that they also liked. I have a second interview on Monday to break a tie between myself and another...

  7. Study Atmosphere

    RunBabyRN replied to xopanda91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I CANNOT study at home. I joke that it's the best way to get my laundry, dishes etc. done. I have to study either at the library or at Starbucks. I wear headphones to keep distractions to a...

  8. NURSING APPS

    RunBabyRN replied to Genevs's topic in General Students

    Epocrates!! I still use it as a nurse,

  9. Apa format

    RunBabyRN replied to ckirkpa's topic in General Students

    This is the resource our instructors gave us. Very user-friendly and

  10. Admitted to the Intensive Nursing Program. Now what?

    RunBabyRN replied to Genevs's topic in General Students

    It's totally doable. My program was a traditional BSN in 4 semesters. Yes, super intense, but doable. Most people worked as well. Staying organized, planning ahead, planning meals, making studying...

  11. Deciding between jobs

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

    I wish that was one 12 hours! It's 8. Job B is the one that's 12 hours. At least 5 nights a week means I could keep my body on that schedule. Plus, my gym is open 24 hours. :) I could go work out...

  12. Can I combine similar jobs when listing responsibilities?et

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

    The one page rule is outdated. Don't be afraid to expand as needed. I really don't like the combined job descriptions. I think it minimizes your jobs and experience. I would also consider leaving...

  13. RN with some experience needs opinions on resume

    RunBabyRN replied to knursing54's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would remove when you got licensed. It screams that you're new. Just put the expiration date. For your skills, remove med administration. That's a pretty basic skills that all nurses can do...

  14. new grad nursing resume critique

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

    The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program That link will give you great info about STABLE which, if you want to work in peds, might be helpful. NRP might also be good if you're open to NICU. Taking a 12-lead EKG...

  15. what laptop is good for nursing school

    RunBabyRN replied to nat_22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had trouble with converting files for some reason. Luckily, the VA bought MS Office for me, so not a big deal. I also needed PowerPoint for a lot of things. I had trouble on my laptop before I got...

  16. what laptop is good for nursing school

    RunBabyRN replied to nat_22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love my Macbook Pro. You can put the Microsoft Suite on it. I needed Word, as my assignments had to be submitted online, and Pages, which is what comes on a Mac, isn't compatible with their...

  17. Deciding between jobs

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

    No offers yet, but they're all very promising. I don't want to count my eggs before they're

  18. new grad nursing resume critique

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

    I don't know what you e-mail address is, but make sure it's something like [email protected], rather than [email protected]. I assume you've done this, but it's worth mentioning. It's...

  19. Deciding between jobs

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

    That's the one I've been leaning toward. Luckily, gas mileage isn't awful, as I have a Prius C, and my husband and I have talked about getting a small place up near the hospital that's an hour north...

  20. EMT's

    RunBabyRN replied to EricD's topic in General Students

    Two completely different scopes of practice and approaches to healthcare. I learned stuff going through first responder training (used to be a requirement for EMT in CA) that I never learned in...

  21. Student Nurse Preceptorship Help

    RunBabyRN replied to caligirl21's topic in California Nursing

    I would go with ED. It is VERY rare for OR positions to get filled by new grads, even more rare than ED positions. Not to mention the wider scope of what you'll see. Don't get overly caught up in...

  22. Moving to NorCal!

    RunBabyRN replied to aparsons's topic in California Nursing

    There is also St. Joseph/Covenant, Adventist, and more, not to mention the local

  24. veteran friendly CSU's

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

    Night crow, the VA rep at SSU is useless. It's a side job, as there are few vets

  25. veteran friendly CSU's

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

    Here's the thing, and I've heard this from several managers, including one I interviewed with today. Skills can be taught anywhere. A monkey can learn to give an injection. However, learning how to...
