    Discouraged

    Whispera replied to beachlily, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that sometimes getting a BSN after already being a nurse is a bit like pressing the reset button. Doors that wouldn't open before, open then. Having the degree along with the experience you...

    Just looking for some advice

    Whispera replied to noemi04's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You went to nursing school because you want to be a nurse. Working in the hotel is not being a nurse. Putting in an application doesn't mean you'll be hired right away. Sometimes it takes quite...

    Resume advice: GPA, etc.

    Whispera replied to Paleogirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Keep your resume to one page, because that's about all most will read before getting bored (and they see lots of resumes, so things get repetitive). Put it on a nice paper--better than just typing...

    Should I continue my BSN?

    Whispera replied to nursedayday's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In my area of the country (near Chicago) it's very difficult to get a job if you don't have a BSN, and if you're already in a job, lots of places are saying you must have your BSN within X years or...

    Mental health re: Jewish culture

    Whispera replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in Psychiatric

    I think it would be interesting for you to talk to someone who is Jewish, to get his or her thoughts about it. Are Jewish people with mental illnesses treated at home or do they seek professional...

    Did I Pass?

    Whispera replied to OCNRN63's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You have taken the test enough times to qualify for the automatic "you passed!" letter. You don't even need to open it...just show up for work at the nearest healthcare facility of your choice and...

    Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    Whispera replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it makes more sense to have other people say what someone has done that's "Above and Beyond" than to have to come up with it yourself. I also think there should be some tangible reward, even...

    Have you had to deal with students responding to nursing related things in media?

    Whispera replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I teach psych nursing. Talk about the media having a lack of attention to reality! One of my missions is to show my students that psych nursing and psych patients are not like what you see in the...

    Pre-clinical prep and clinical paperwork

    Whispera replied to sdmwd5987's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Another consideration is that sometimes patients are discharged pretty quickly after they're admitted, and the staff may not know someone is going to be discharged the next day, if students come in to...

    Does Psych translate to public health?

    Whispera replied to Nonetheless's topic in Psychiatric

    I started out in psych and have never ever had a problem getting a job in other specialties. I think psych translates into public health quite nicely, too. In fact, there are public health psych...
