  1. Another New-grad In Need of Help!

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

    Play with your spacing and fonts. That shouldn't be more than one

  2. What percentage make it?

    RunBabyRN replied to mae0218's topic in General Students

    We started with 24, ended with 23. We lost her in the first semester, and nursing just really isn't the right match for her. She is now pursuing

  3. Personal Statement

    RunBabyRN replied to bksullivan1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In addition to what these guys have said, relate the job experience you DO have to nursing. Customer service? Fast pace? Having to think on your feet? You'll see those in nursing, too. Why do you...

  4. Nurses hating their job

    RunBabyRN replied to future_nurse11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is basically the same thing I was going to say. People vent online. You'll see a similar theme here. But ultimately, we're in this profession for the long haul, most of us. Some love it, some...

  5. Nursing Interview Attire

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

    I would go with a basic suit, black, charcoal gray, something along those lines, and then add color with a shirt or tie (wear a tie!). Nice black dress shoes. Be prepared to spend a couple hundred...

  6. How to get clinical/skills experience withouth working

    RunBabyRN replied to jchene's topic in General Students

    I can tell you from first-hand experience that even prior healthcare experience doesn't always help much with the job search. Don't stress about it. And, as stated before, after the first semester,...

  7. Fair?

    RunBabyRN replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    I agree, not

  8. Nursing diagnosis for a mother that smoked during pregnancy and is continuing to smoke

    RunBabyRN replied to kjnurse11's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What do you think? We're not here to do your homework for you, but we can help guide you. What are your assessment findings? How is the fetus

  9. What types of volunteer work does a prenursing student need ?

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

    Is volunteer experience counted for anything when applying to nursing programs where you are? If so, you might contact the nursing department there to ask them for their input. This is one of those...

  10. Labor and Delivery

    RunBabyRN replied to ramosyasmin16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Few, if any, CA hospitals have well baby nurseries anymore. Babies room in

  11. Freestanding birth center vs. hospital and the future of my career

    RunBabyRN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a new grad RN (licensed in June of this year). I worked in women's health in the Navy (in addition to other departments), and have worked as a lactation specialist since working at this birth...

  12. California Guidelines...

    RunBabyRN replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    To be a nurse midwife, you must go through a master's program specific to nurse midwifery, then pass the boards. You are not a CNM until you have done

  13. Possible to do both?

    RunBabyRN replied to coleyoley's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You may figure some of that out when you're in nursing school, learning about these roles more. What is it that you'd want to do as a neonatal NP? Can you do it? Yes. Would be be a big challenge?...

  14. Applying for position on M/B but I have a question

    RunBabyRN replied to RNinC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Definitely not on a resume. If it comes up in the interview (they can't ask you point-blank, but if you feel it's a natural part of the conversation, it's okay to say something), make it pertinent....

  15. volunteering won't help

    RunBabyRN replied to procrastinator911's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Networking is the most important part of volunteering at this point. I say stick with WHERE you want to be. Even in the ED, they usually don't let volunteers touch patients. It's all about...

  16. Resume Advice

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

    This is what I have on mine: Senior Preceptorship, ***** Medical Center, City, CA, January-April 2014 Mother baby unit- performed the role of a registered nurse under the supervision of a...

  17. CNA to LPN resume help

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

    It's good to list out your clinical experience, where you did it, and for how many hours. Really, it's what you can do. Since your resume should be in reverse chronologic order, this experience, I...

  18. looking up meds.. what is considered major?

    RunBabyRN replied to hkqueenx3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think it's important to add to this sentence, "...FOR THIS PATIENT." For example, there are medications (not one that comes to mind, but I've seen stuff like this) that might be for headaches,...

  19. Resume question

    RunBabyRN replied to Mainergal2000's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree about keeping it on. Don't get too lengthy about the job description, but rather, focus on the elements that relate to nursing, like ArrowRN said. Use it to your advantage to help you stand...

  20. Another New-grad In Need of Help!

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

    There's a lot to expand on. Include the number of hours for your clinical rotations, and where you completed them. For your old (and current) jobs, write at least 1-2 lines of things that pertain to...

  21. BSN Student Interested in Abortion Care as a R.N.

    RunBabyRN replied to GBRKG122's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Definitely this. I would try to volunteer NOW. It can help a lot when it comes time for job searching later. Nothing says that you can't go right into your desired area of nursing if they'll hire...

  22. CertifiedProfile Questions! SPC Nursing-AS spring 2015

    RunBabyRN replied to NursingSPCSpring15's topic in School, College Programs

    Those are program-specific, so they'd be your best resource for this

  23. Retaking pre-req class - affect chances?

    RunBabyRN replied to Wavesandstorms's topic in California Nursing

    You'll have to look at their repeat policies. When I was accepted to LB, I had a few repeats in prereqs, but that was in

  24. CertifiedProfile Questions! SPC Nursing-AS spring 2015

    RunBabyRN replied to NursingSPCSpring15's topic in School, College Programs

    You can contact your nursing department to double check this, but my CP stuff all said overdue until I had it submitted. Do you have your flu shot, TB, and everything else it requires uploaded?...

  25. How to stay positive about grades

    RunBabyRN replied to sabrina17's topic in General Students

    I was you. I HATED all of the people comparing their grades (and TEAS scores and GPAs prior to nursing school). I PASSED. That's what matters. I am HERE. Now I am a NURSE. I PASSED the NCLEX (in...
