  1. Community to OB Nursing

    NewGrad2014 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I graduated as an RN last year and, although I applied to many acute positions, I have been working in the community ever since. I am in an administrative position.......the most nursing skills I use...

  2. Community to OB Nursing

    NewGrad2014 replied to NewGrad2014's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you so much RunBabyRN. Your response actually helped a lot.. I really am eager to learn and I hope that comes through in my interview tomorrow. I'll spend tonight thinking about situations I've...

    NewGrad2014 replied to backwoods's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    AHHHHHHH I just got my results and PASSED!!! I cried out of pure relief. Congratulations nurses, four long years behind us! Here's to our futures

    NewGrad2014 replied to backwoods's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Longest weekend ever!!! Had a horrible fail dream last night. Come on Northern

  5. June 4th CRNE

    NewGrad2014 replied to backwoods's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I did the same thing as erikauy_23 - I feel like I did terrible although the questions seemed easy at times. This is a horrible

  6. are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

    NewGrad2014 replied to kelligracie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm not refuting you know way more than I do - doesn't mean I can't make a valid argument for why colour coded scrubs aren't a horrible direction to go

  7. are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

    NewGrad2014 replied to kelligracie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I disagree. I think that nursing is a profession and trying to take a more uniform (haha) approach is understandable.. So long as it's practical and there are reasons for it. And while you seem to...

  8. Text message for job interview?

    NewGrad2014 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Something about your situation gives me the creeps! When you google this clinic does anything come up? The doctors name not coming up is too strange to overlook - before going for an interview please...

  9. are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

    NewGrad2014 replied to kelligracie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Okay, well either way we have to buy scrubs anyway. Would be a nice perk

  10. are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

    NewGrad2014 replied to kelligracie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I would love to have colour coded scrubs- as long as they are comfortable and practical and NOT white I am all in. Plus since they would likely be institution ordered they would probably be...

  11. recording classes?

    NewGrad2014 replied to w292737's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the previous poster - at least at my school they took it very seriously when a student would record without the instructors permission. Ensure you have their ongoing consent (why not make...

  12. L&D not for me?

    NewGrad2014 replied to RNmom7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't been in this situation yet but I can imagine your stress! I've had similar feelings throughout school - not feeling prepared or confident in my abilities. If you love what you're doing, I...

  13. Did I violate HIPAA?

    NewGrad2014 replied to nursing_student93's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think this is a very thin line. As an employee nurse, bringing up another patients chart with no acceptable reason, of which there are few, would be a violation of privacy. As a student, your...

  14. LPN Job Duties

    NewGrad2014 replied to Hoping2BeANurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I sincerely hope karma bites you where you deserve

  15. LPN Job Duties

    NewGrad2014 replied to Hoping2BeANurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I had a hard time just reading this and not responding. If caring for a persons basic need is too far below your importance level as a human being and title... I don't even have the words to express...

  16. Just got accepted, what now?

    NewGrad2014 replied to cbazze9709's topic in General Students

    Ahah I've never heard that! Well, couldn't hurt

  17. Accused of HIPPA

    NewGrad2014 replied to arodgz's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Unless there was more to the conversation, that is not a violation of HIPAA. Your information was very general yet you still responded to her question and helped to educate her. Maybe this nurse has...

    NewGrad2014 replied to cbazze9709's topic in General Students

    Ahaha well this made my

  19. should i follow up a resume i gave in person?

    NewGrad2014 replied to jrcbtst's topic in Canada

    I am in the same boat. To follow up call or not...that is the question... I hate the idea of sounding pushy or being too

  20. Resume with no experience!

    NewGrad2014 replied to Rgrnurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In my opinion, you can only focus on what you have done and really highlight your skills and the experiences you have had. Ensure to have different sources for references to help round out your...

  21. RN job with 'normal' hours?

    NewGrad2014 replied to htanis's topic in Canada

    Have you considered public health nursing? Most community nursing positions (health units, doctors offices, school nursing, ect) have regular weekday

  22. One thing I learned today is that honesty will get you nowhere in Nursing School.

    NewGrad2014 replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in General Students

    While people still value honesty, it was a valid excuse she was looking for. If you would have lied she most likely would have requested proof and, when you could not give her any, she would have...

  23. selected for QA; leaving profession

    NewGrad2014 replied to mermaidsoup's topic in Canada

    You could call CNO and let them know about your situation - that you are no longer practising and will be renewing in the non-practising class. They are the best people to let you know how this comes...
