    Thoughts?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to RNurse1's topic in Nursing Career

    I would wait and see what happens, and if you are offered the job, take it. When I started my first job, I found out a few months later I was pregnant. My employer didn't have to hold my job when I...

    Shy nurses

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Tesfanurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have a soft voice, too.....because 70% of my trachea is blocked with cartilage. Only way to fix it is to have surgery, and I will not do that. I am always getting people's remarks "Oh, are you...

    New grads Need Not Apply

    SE_BSN_RN replied to elisiah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I tell everyone that asks me what I think and I think ALL new grads need to spend a year in LTC. LPN/RN....doesn't matter. Once you have to care for 20-30 patients, 5-6 will be a piece of

    Grad nurse residency wants 3 year commitment

    SE_BSN_RN replied to lifelearningrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, how badly do you need a job? Are you willing to be unemployed for a long period of time? New grad jobs (shoot, even jobs in general) are very hard to come by, especially if you have no...

    Preceptorship to New Grad BSN

    SE_BSN_RN replied to unmarkd14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did my OB rotation and my leadership rotation in OB at the same hospital. Didn't help, I may get an interview for a med/surg position, but nothing for OB. I interviewed for an OB position at a...

    Do you apply to only new grad positions?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to remotefuse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I apply to everything. I am technically not a "new" grad, but I am a new RN. So far no bites yet, but I still apply, apply,

    Wow. I agree with macgirl. That is harassment. Transfer units, or look for a new job. No one deserves to be talked to like

    LPN to RN

    SE_BSN_RN replied to nursemike420's topic in Excelsior College

    There are no completely all online LPN-RN programs. You still have to do clinical hours, and depending on the state you are in, classroom time. Check with your SBON and make sure any classes you take...

    Colorado New grad with no interviews after searching since Aug 2013

    SE_BSN_RN replied to hwngrl's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Try Interim, or Pediatric Services of America, or even Bright Star. And, it's not you. Jobs for new grads are virtually non

    Nursing student Practicum

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Hannahlu2's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Just because most places won't hire a new grad in the ER doesn't mean you can't do your practicum in the ER. I did mine in OB, and no one hires new grads into OB, either. What hospitals did you do...

    8 hr vs 12 hr shift

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Sounds like a tough call. I used to work Baylor shifts, only mine were 16's. This was so I could go to school during the week. I loved working only 2 days and having 5 off. Now, they've completely...

    I am having the same problem! I am definitely qualified, but keep getting the "we are pursuing applicants that better fit our needs".....blah blah. For almost a year now, this is the same email I get....

    SE_BSN_RN replied to txredheadnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Proud of you, Tx! I did the same thing.....reported to state and the facility was fined an IJ tag. It is a hard situation to be in, but you do what you gotta do. Congrats on the new job and good luck...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to allnurses's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, and yes! I interviewed 2 days before Christmas and was told I would hear either way after the holidays. It is now January 19, and I am still waiting. Apparently, they are still "interviewing...

    Note from a new nurse to all the preceptors out there

    SE_BSN_RN replied to nikkole318's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A few hospitals I've been to have levels of preceptors.....RN II, RN III, RN IV, and as such, are compensated for the level they are on. I didn't like being a student.....but I would LOVE to be a...

    Has anyone tried the pearson view trick in the past 10 months?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to briseydaa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    High Fowlers and increased ICP?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to randomly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You don't want the bed in high fowlers.....the pressure increases to get the blood up high. Semi-fowlers is the correct positioning. What do you do when you have a headache? You lie down.....and that...
