  2. Break up during school

    Ashley_SF replied to Nicoleashley's topic in General Students

    Hugs to you! I was in a similar situation while in school and it was very challenging, but I was able to push through and graduate on time. My boyfriend of 6 years broke up with me suddenly, I had to...

    Ashley_SF replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is hilarious, but troubling at the same time. I don't know whether to laugh or cringe.. maybe

  4. Help with my first nursing job interview?

    Ashley_SF replied to Red_Diamond's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Before my first interview I did a google search for typical interview questions. I agree with Klara, about the types of questions they're likely to ask. They may also ask about where you see yourself...

  5. New grad sinking fast

    Ashley_SF replied to Sheika34's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It took me a solid year to where I didn't feel like an impostor. Just remember, we all started in the same place. Ask questions, help when you can, take a deep breath and focus on the next task. My...

  7. New Grad RN - Expected to have Twitter/Instagram accounts?

    Ashley_SF replied to Lemon Bars's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't believe it's necessary to have any social media accounts. You can find out plenty about potential employers from looking at their website. A lot of places will even have a feed integrated into...

    Ashley_SF replied to KaylaRM's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    [quote= It's almost certainly too early to apply, but it isn't too early to start investigating the application process. Look at the HR websites for some of the hospitals you're interested in; most...

  9. Oh, my aching feet!!!!

    Ashley_SF replied to GrammyCat066's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've had the same issue, especially when working my shifts back to back. As soon as possible after getting home I fill a container with hot water and add some Epsom salt (and a little lavender oil). I...

    Ashley_SF posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hey Everyone! So, I'm a San Francisco, California resident with 4 years of outpatient dialysis. Out of nursing school in the saturated, bay area market I was desperate for work and eventually got my...

  12. Super discouraged

    Ashley_SF replied to jessmarieb's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I can relate to your frustration. It took me 18 months after graduation to get 1 interview and luckily I was offered the job. Two weeks is not a lot of time, especially in a saturated area. I limited...

  13. Dialysis nurses: Needing advice :)

    Ashley_SF replied to alby_dangle's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I was hired as a new grad into an outpatient dialysis facility. After 6 months on the job I'm just about finished with my training period. While I do know that inpatient dialysis can be very...

  14. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Ashley_SF replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated with my BSN from a bay area university back in 2012. I looked for a job for nearly 18 months, across the country, before finally landing a dialysis job and relocating to the valley. While...
