  1. How often should I call?

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

    Try each method of contact again. You can even say, "I sent you a text as well, and will give you a call this afternoon" in an e-mail, for example. Stay on it. Stay in touch with your friend, and...

  2. Which offer do I keep

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

    Are these both full-time positions? What is the call-off policy if census is low? What are the shifts? What was your "feel" of the units, managers, people? How is traffic for each commute? I'm a...

  3. Recent graduate- lost and depressed

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

    I would speak to your supervisor about potentially getting some help. Remind them that you are a new grad, and are going to need more help with learning some of the skills, how to anticipate when...

  4. Hospital vs. Clinic

    RunBabyRN replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just saw this- hopefully they have a better feeling about you than you did. :) Have you thought about working on your interview skills? What is the struggle for

  5. Hospital vs. Clinic

    RunBabyRN replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Keeping in mind that you haven't yet interviewed, let alone been offered the job... Those kinds of hours, especially when you hate nights, are fantastic. I'm a new nurse (graduated in May), and I'm...

  6. Cover letter needs some serious help.

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

    When you're writing your cover letters for jobs, look at the company's mission statement. What are their values? How do they relate to how YOU choose to be a nurse? Draw from that when you're...

  7. resume to CV for only 2 years experience

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

    You really don't have to keep it on one page anymore, so long as it's relevant. I can't keep mine to one page, even if I try. I have other related healthcare experience, including military health...

  11. Time Management Woes!

    RunBabyRN replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You've posted a lot of gripes of things that are beyond your control. At least for now. Are there any committees at your facility that you could join to try to help improve these areas? In the...

  12. I am a new grad and think I don't want to take a bedside RN job, advice please.

    RunBabyRN replied to newgrad000's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What about putting your sales experience to good use and becoming a pharmaceutical rep? I do agree, though, about putting in a few years at the bedside. It will help in the long run. I have...

  13. New job or stay at old one?

    RunBabyRN replied to SBSN's topic in Nursing Career

    May I ask why you applied if you don't even want to interview? Interview experience is always

  14. Where to find the "Good" RN jobs?

    RunBabyRN replied to martenla's topic in Nursing Career

    I've never heard of ANY job being this flexible. I'm about to start this new clinic job, but I have been working a few PRN jobs in the meantime. However, it's barely enough to pay the bills, and...

  15. Pregnant in Nursing MSN - is it possible?

    RunBabyRN replied to birdie85's topic in General Students

    CAN it be done? Yes. Is it ideal? No. It seems like people who get pregnant in nursing school end up with an incompetent cervix, hyperemesis gravidarum and other wonderful things that keep you...

  16. 16 year old future Nurse,Help?

    RunBabyRN replied to Astroidinary's topic in General Students

    There is no benefit to obtaining an AA degree. If you were to obtain your ASN/ADN, you'd then be eligible to sit for the NCLEX to become a RN, and you could bridge to BSN later. Or you could go...

  17. Teaching Aid Ideas

    RunBabyRN replied to AlmostNurseJ's topic in General Students

    What's the subject? Maybe you can make it relate? Like stress balls with factoids for stress management or

  18. Somebody Knock Some Sense Into Me

    RunBabyRN replied to lilgop's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is mayhem, for sure. Life will slow down some once you graduate. There is no such thing as the perfect time to have kids (or if you think you have it, it'll go away quickly, like it...

  19. Applications: How Many!?

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

    I always recommend applying to anywhere you'd consider attending. I applied to 10 and got into 2, but due to family circumstances at the time, I couldn't move that far for school. I had to wait...

  20. Applying to everything

    RunBabyRN replied to procrastinator911's topic in California Nursing

    I've never heard of it counting against you to apply to multiple positions within a given hospital system. I'm in northern CA, and I've applied to multiple positions within the major systems here,...

  21. How many jobs have you applied to?

    RunBabyRN replied to middleagednurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Somewhere around 2000 jobs before I landed an offer for full time. I have held 3 very PRN positions in the meantime. I also live in one of the most saturated markets in the

  22. Where to find the "Good" RN jobs?

    RunBabyRN replied to martenla's topic in Nursing Career

    Even within a lot of the hospital systems, there are often positions outside of the hospital. I am about to start a clinic job through a hospital system. Banker's hours, holidays and weekends off,...

  23. Listing professional jobs vs nonprofessional jobs

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

    Like you, I have a mix of healthcare and non-healthcare work experience. What I did was list out my healthcare experience with a couple of bullet points of what I did in that role. Then under that,...

  24. NewGrad RN trying to move to Ca

    RunBabyRN replied to vch1102's topic in California Nursing

    Whatever you do, stay away from CA as a new grad. I realize HI has a pretty tough market, too, but CA is BEYOND saturated with new grads, and most of us are having an impossible time finding work,...

  25. Currently failing!!!

    RunBabyRN replied to Cmoudry's topic in General Students

    Have you figured out what you're missing on these exams? You will need to get used to computer testing, because the NCLEX is computer-based. I got sick on an exam day and bombed (what was REALLY...
