    What stinks about new grad resumes

    HeartsOpenWide replied to SAHMStudent's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You do not put anything. Or you put "graduating December 2010" ect. What did you do when you were in school? Did you do any volunteer work? Write a good cover letter, this is what explains what your...

    New grad? Here's what you can expect..

    HeartsOpenWide replied to sweetrvr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't assume that when people tell you that they have applied to over 100 jobs without getting any offers that they are even applying for jobs that apply to them. There are 100s of nursing jobs out...

    Kissing with contractions

    HeartsOpenWide replied to LoveANurse09's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have seen it a few times, and in natural childbirth. But I have not seen anyone kiss to specifically get labor going/keep going; just to kiss because they wanted to, and generally quick pecks (no...

    Going home for cramps. Really?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    You can not concentrate and retain the educational material when you are in that much pain and throwing up. You are not going to keep either of the two meals down when you are in that much pain and...

    Can anyone explain the logic behind nursing exam questions?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to Angitia's topic in General Students

    Hu? Do you mean RN vs LVN? Last time I checked RN is RN regardless of BSN or ASN...ASN nurses can write a nursing diagnosis just as well as a BSN

    offended....

    HeartsOpenWide replied to 1louise1's topic in General Nursing

    Why not direct the person to where the stethoscopes are kept. I have a hard time displaying any power. I have only been a nurse for over a year, and I look really young, even though I am almost 30 I...

    Going home for cramps. Really?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I am sorry if this comes off harsh, this one hit a personal nerve; but until you have dysmenorrhea then learn to be empathetic. I missed 1-2 days a month when I was in high school because of it, I had...

    Get the question right and lose a point!!

    HeartsOpenWide replied to cutenurse2b_1's topic in General Students

    It is one point. Don't be petty. Get over it. If you are going to squabble over one point, nursing is going to bite you in the butt once you get into the real world of nursing. Even if there was an...

    Student Loans: When is too much?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to OlatheJessica's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What she said. Besides, just because you get into school a semester early does not mean you will get a job any earlier. Would you rather sit around a few months hoping to get a job with 50K debt or a...

    Meg or Jerry

    HeartsOpenWide posted a topic in California Nursing

    It seems like a lot of people on here are against Meg Whitman. I have family members that want Meg to be voted in. Watching the commercials are impossible to get any valid information out of,...

    How many of you nurses do NOT have health insurance

    HeartsOpenWide replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I am fortunate enough to work in a place that allows part time to have health insurance. When full time, it was free and only $50 a month for my husband; now that I went part time for a spell I pay...

    Nursing Programs In California

    HeartsOpenWide replied to DenisseG's topic in California Nursing

    If they let people apply before they finished their pre-reqs the wait lists would just be longer, there would be more paper work as a result if those that got on the wait list and then did not pass...

    How do you get A's in Nursing School?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    If you have a learning disability you should get testing accommodations such as a quite room or extra time to take your exams. I have a learning disability and graduated Cum Laude and am a Sigma Theta...

    Ignores my being an RN

    HeartsOpenWide replied to LovemykittyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like I am reading a "Dear Ann Landers" letter. I think you are being a little overly sensitive. I bet the woman does not even think about you being a nurse when she asks peoples opinion....

    Postpartum to L&D...I'm scared/nervous!

    HeartsOpenWide replied to Bonnie3tRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work in LDRP, so as a new grad I had to learn it all at once, it would be nice to spend a year perfecting PP before going on to L&D; consider yourself at an advantage, you are already...

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    HeartsOpenWide replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As a BSN nurse I am also sick of this debate. I did not graduate from a prestigious nursing program like you did, (although I do not believe any community college is prestigious) but I did get...

    Catheter in pierced penis

    HeartsOpenWide replied to schaviano's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I imagine it would depend on what type of piercing it was. They don't all go through the urethra do they? If it was one that did, like the Prince Albert, then yeah, he would have to take it

    what area of nursing is 9-5, no w/e and whats the pay like? NY

    HeartsOpenWide replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to work in a hospital and work 8s than your not going to get the 9-5 shift...shifts are usually 7-15; 15-23; and 23-7...and as a new hire your probably going to get the 23-7, thats five...

    Arriving early and not clocking in

    HeartsOpenWide replied to soxfan80's topic in General Nursing

    To each their own. If you want to do this then great, it will make your day easier being prepared in advance. If it was required then they would have to pay everyone. Maybe not start report until a...

    what time does your shift really end?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to sleepy1010's topic in General Nursing

    A 7-3 shift is really 7-3:30 because you typically have 30 mins to give report, if you are on time. I usually get out closer to 4. I would not take a job that starts at 4 if I were

    Get fired or resign from new grad program

    HeartsOpenWide replied to Aurora21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Off topic, but what happened to the LVN? 0.75 mg vs 75mg? Seems like if it was a drug that is normally given in that low of a dose the LVN should have questioned a 75mg dose is typically given in...

    Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    HeartsOpenWide replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Not much different than some one in nursing school saying they are going to be a nurse (even though they do not know if they will pass school or their

    Just what you told us sounds fine. Honest and nothing wrong with that

    Question about staff ratios?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to lag413's topic in General Nursing

    Your not spoiled at all. My friend works on the PCU which is a step down/Tele combo. Depending on acuity she can have either 1:3 or 1:4 max. Granted we are in California. Stories like yours make...
