    ER Tech interview questions

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to RN1/2006's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah if your an RN then most likely they will not hire you as a tech. due to liability reasons. If you were hired in to a tech. position and you took care of a patient and something happened (like...

    What is your "weak point"?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to qt2168's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that one of my biggest flaws is my lack of confidence, it constantly makes me second guess myself and is something I have always struggled with. When in an interview I will mention this...

    Facebook and HIPPA

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to kdot2003's topic in General Nursing

    As another user mentioned Facebook tends to make people really stupid. I will occasionally post a status about work but its nothing more than "Rough night in the ED. I need sleep!!" or "I really love...

    PRN nurses are making my job a living HELL !!

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me of the other post by a L&D RN who has complaints about an LPN/LVN she works with who she believes should be fired. I will tell you the same thing I told her... Don't go to...

    Why lvn's /lpn's should not work in labor and delivery

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to LNDBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Before we make this a verbal clash of the titans between RNs and LPN/LVNs or a fruitless breakdown between the levels of education (Diploma, Associates, Bachelors etc.) we need to focus on the...

    New CNA, need advice on what to carry to work

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Girl Scout's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think a lot of it depends on where you work. In my old position as a CNA on an Adult Med/Surg floor the CNAs relied heavily on using a Dinamap machine to do their vital signs so you weren't...

    Rituals before and after taking an exam...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to StudentNurseElle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What do I do before and after taking an exam... Well before the exam I usually end up cramming and then trying to get some form of sleep. I do not look at books or talk with other students before the...

    Lovin Emergency Nursing....................BUT

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to motivated2nurse's topic in Emergency

    I work in the ED and I notice this happening a lot. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do about it. I think the best way to deal with it is when someone comes to you with gossip I would just show...

    Age Issues and The Modern Male Nurse

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Rocky09's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Dude your definitely not crazy! As cliche as it sounds, age is just a number and I think you should definitely go for it. The one thing I will say is that you should try to keep an open mind about...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to moneyline702's topic in Male Nursing Students

    To the OP: I'm in a similar situation as you so I can understand where your coming from. I was originally going to go for an ADN but due to some issues at the local community college I decided to go...

    Nursing Textbooks: Keep or Toss?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to StudentNurseElle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Personally I sold all of my pre-req books and I've done ok up to this point. However, I did keep all of my books that I got once I was accepted into the program because I still use them as a...

    Top Five Tips for Night Shift? For a new nurse?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to TuckerBug's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I work per diem evenings and nights so one day I might be doing 3 PM - 11:30 PM and the next night I might be doing 11 PM - 7:30 AM so there is really no consistancy in terms of my schedule. My tips...

    Tired of bedside nursing

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to youngebloodrn's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think if you want some more specific recommendations you will have to give us a few more details about the areas of nursing that your interested in but for now I can give you a few general...

    CNAs, LPNs, RNs and Pumps and Pearls Please Advise

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    To be perfectly honest Sue I think its time your facility starts cleaning house. I think you should talk to the DON about it so that a few of the lazy aides who are not doing their job need to be made...

    Am I eligible for Richard Stockton College?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to TeeGuneys23's topic in General Nursing

    I think that maybe this should be moved to the NJ forum instead of the General Nursing forum.

    When should I take Microbiology while in the 2010 El Centro Nursing Program?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to max0602's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that this is the right forum for this question. This should be transferred to the forum that is the specific state or country this college is located in so that more people from the...

    Should I be upset about this?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to kmarie724's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest if I were you I wouldn't be mad at all. In many facilities when someone leaves a position the job must be posted internally first and if no internal candidates are interested then it will...

    Have you/would you refuse certain patients while pregnant

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to dawngloves's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ditto! I think it wouldn't hurt to talk to the OB and then present your findings from the OB to your Nurse Manager. Another thing I didn't see mentioned (maybe it was, I'm not sure) is about...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    I echo the sentiments made by some of the other users. Dust off your resume and start looking for another position. I can see that in the distance it looks like there is a bus coming that your about...

    Would you switch to nights for alot more money?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Maco's topic in General Nursing

    If you really don't like nights then I probably wouldn't do it no matter how much more money they offer you. I know personally that as much as I love the department I'm in right now I would NEVER (and...

    A Professor's Grade Deflation Policy

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Millerstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    C's get degrees! Wicked! That's so funny. I'm going to have to tell my nursing school buddies that one.

    A Professor's Grade Deflation Policy

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Millerstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really not sure if this counts as grade deflation. When I think of grade inflation I think of my Biology teacher who counted an 82 as an A- even though the official college policy was that an 82...

    Peds clinical today- just need to rant

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in General Students

    I know this is a really old post but this is a tricky area for a student and I think there is a right way to handle this and a wrong way to handle this. If you wish to directly confront your...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Michelle123's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses what is your favorite state and why?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I live way up in New England in little Rhody (RI) and as much as I do love it I think that I actually like Florida more. The weather is amazing and I love being able to go to the beach any time of the...
