  1. Nursing programs college?????

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

    My vote is for option 3, BSN, then MSN. There are a lot more BSN-MSN programs than ADN-MSN programs, so you'd have more options, and it'll be easier for you to find RN work with your BSN than with...

  2. writing

    RunBabyRN replied to SHELCE TSINAJINNIE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you researched any nursing programs in your area to see what's required? That would be the best place to start. Do a quick Google search, and that will get you started. It'll be easier to help...

  3. ED residency cover letter -Seeking Critique!!

    RunBabyRN replied to bella14k's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    First, take out the story. Cover letters and resumes are given a preliminary 10-20 second glance by very busy HR people with hundreds of resumes to scan for one position. Going so in depth with a...

  4. Vaccinations/Titers Questions: HELP!

    RunBabyRN replied to mtgip12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you not already have at least some of them? Make sure you have all of the titers drawn before you go and get unnecessary

  5. PLEASE I HAVE A QUESTION about nursing scheduales...

    RunBabyRN replied to RN2bBevy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree with the harsh realities that have already been stated. On a broader note, new grads in CA have it ROUGH. I have extensive prior healthcare experience, including military medicine,...

  6. Breaking RN residency contract

    RunBabyRN replied to nathan31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Honestly, given the current market, you'd be VERY lucky if they even considered taking you back after breaking a contract like that, especially as a new grad. Maybe in GA it's not so impacted, but in...

  7. Anyone work for Coram as IV per diem nurse?

    RunBabyRN replied to RNfromSA's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I'm just about to start a subcontract position with them (based on my pt's orders), so I'd be curious to hear any input as well.

  8. Infusion RN for new grad with lots of IV experience prior to RN school

    RunBabyRN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I still haven't seen the IVIG pt (I suspect she and her nurse have a close relationship/comfort level at this point), but I will be seeing my first patient in the morning. Seems like a nice guy from...

  9. California-bay area hopeful

    RunBabyRN replied to 30pls_rn_in_trng's topic in California Nursing

    Just be forewarned that the SF Bay Area is one of the toughest markets in the US, especially for new grads. I live in the Bay Area, and I have extensive healthcare experience prior to nursing school,...

  11. Difference between L&D and PP nurses?

    RunBabyRN replied to PincheVanessa's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can you be more specific? L&D is more fetal monitoring, pain control measures, very frequent monitoring of Mom and Baby. IV and Foley cath insertions. You'll likely need NRP, ACLS, and AWHONN...

  12. Mother/Baby Advice!

    RunBabyRN replied to mccaffertyln's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I love mother baby! I precepted there, so while I'm not super experienced, I've been sort of the new person. Carry a few flushes and 10ml syringes for removing Foleys. Alcohol wipes, lanolin,...

  13. Compression socks

    RunBabyRN replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    I really like Zensah. They have a lot of compression (not sure how many mmHg), more than the medical compression socks, as they are meant for runners. Having had veins removed from my legs, I really...

  14. Took the HORRIBLE NCLEX today...

    RunBabyRN replied to ETorch89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Torture!!! I know I was on pins and needles, so I can only imagine with the hold. Like others have said, it could go either way. Here's hoping for something one way or the other soon! I imagine...

  15. Getting hired from clinicals in Nevada

    RunBabyRN replied to PrayingToPass's topic in General Students

    By post-licensure, I mean the people who were in the RN-BSN program, rather than the traditional BSN program (the school refers to these as the pre-licensure and post-licensure programs, hence my...

  17. Looking a school in Bay Area

    RunBabyRN replied to MORasks's topic in Nurse Registration

    Agreed. With how impacted programs are here, they don't need to take students in your situation, because they have SO MANY more students clamoring to take the whole

  18. 2.2gpa - need advice

    RunBabyRN replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'd probably have a better chance out there, and definitely have a better chance at finding work as a new grad, especially with your ADN. The market for new grads in CA is horrendous, and ADNs are...

  19. 2.2gpa - need advice

    RunBabyRN replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree about checking on repeats. MANY programs in CA have strict repeat policies, and/or will not accept people with repeated courses. Do your homework on this one. I had to retake my sciences,...

  20. Quickest/best way to become a nurse and make money during the process - HELP!

    RunBabyRN replied to guest829834's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that going the CNA route would benefit anyone who doesn't have hands-on healthcare experience. Plus, if you're smart, you can *theoretically* make connections that may be helpful when you are...

  22. Traveling After Graduation and the First Job Search as an RN

    RunBabyRN replied to ladfhsdaf12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Definitely search around, and you'll need to do it closer to, as most programs won't have info about next year up until probably after New Year's. I know there's one program I applied to that doesn't...

  23. Need advice about job hunting...I am burnd-out!

    RunBabyRN replied to Mentalageis16's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have applied for several hundred jobs myself. The market SUCKS for new grads, but all you can do is apply. I do apply for SOME stuff for which I may not be qualified, but I have started to narrow...

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

    1. Not needed 2. They'll want the issue date and the expiration date. Put these at the top, especially if you have ACLS or something else like that. 3. Keep it basic. No need to list out every...

  25. To those without a 4.0 (rant)

    RunBabyRN replied to Jasonat6034's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it really depends on the the location and the pool of applicants that cycle. Here in CA, it's EXTREMELY competitive, so while you may not need a 4.0, you need to be pretty
