  1. is nursing a life science degree?

    blah_blah_blah posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm applying for a few positions at the organ donation service in my area, and one posting (organ procurement) says it requires a minimum of an associates degree in life science. I have a BSN. Is a...

  2. is nursing a life science degree?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    What I meant when I said that it didn't ask for a cover letter is that there was no where for me to submit one on the online app, haha. Also, I did apply for a nursing position with them as well as a...

  3. is nursing a life science degree?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    the application did not ask for a cover letter, but I do have a very personal interest in organ donation so if they ask I will definitely let them know! thanks for the

  4. Unsure how an interview went..

    blah_blah_blah posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would like AN's opinions on how they thought my interview went, because I'm not too sure. I think it went pretty well, but probably not the best ever. This interview was just a general interview...

  5. Unsure how an interview went..

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Nothing yet! She told me when I got the call for the interview that there are not any positions open currently, so we would just get the initial HR interview out of the way so that when positions do...

  6. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    blah_blah_blah replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, if I worked with you and caught wind of this, I'd leave the seat up after I used the bathroom in hopes that the same woman that used the restroom after you would also use it after me. Just to make...

  7. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    blah_blah_blah replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Eh, 30 seconds plus one to put the seat down isn't a big deal for me. If I'm using a public toilet and the seat is up, I always just knock it down with my foot (there's no way I'm touching that dirty...

  8. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    blah_blah_blah replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    UGH I know exactly what you're talking about. In middle school the principal had to come in and speak to all the 6-8th grade girls and ask them to clean up after themselves if they got menstrual blood...

  9. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    blah_blah_blah replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I will NEVER understand women who get angry that men leave the seat up. Men have to lift it every time to use it and they (usually) don't complain. I just put the seat down, do my business, and get on...

  10. Stethoscope/clinical supplies

    blah_blah_blah replied to msbossb's topic in General Students

    I got a Littmann Cardiology III, the all black edition. I also got a cheap BP cuff that came with one of those cheap double-tubed scopes. That thing weighed a ton. I kept that in my clinical bag in...

  11. No calculators allowed as an RN?

    blah_blah_blah replied to dancediva234's topic in General Students

    While I understand the concept of her wanting you to learn how to do it the "long way" but it seems to me that using a calculator can help prevent errors... I can't tell you how many times in my life...

  12. Holy cow! My book total is how much?!

    blah_blah_blah replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    My first semester cost about $1500 too not including my stethoscope, which was a little over 200. Personally, I would have HATED if my school was pushing e-books. Call me old fashioned (at the ripe...

    Thanks! I'm just so unsure lol. I will keep applying until she sees my name in her

  15. post-interview thank you card?

    blah_blah_blah posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I had an interview today with HR at a large children's hospital. It wasn't an interview for a specific position, we were just getting the initial interview out of the way so when a position does open...

  16. Unsure how an interview went..

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the encouragement! I'm really hoping I get a call about an opening soon. Everyone's been telling me that it's okay if I messed up because it was just practice but they fail to realize that...

  18. Help with interview outfit

    blah_blah_blah replied to lrobinson5's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have the same problem. I have a blazer that fits in the shoulders and arms, but is tight around the middle so I wore spanx to compensate. It helped a lot. I did some research online and read that...

  19. Help with interview outfit

    blah_blah_blah replied to lrobinson5's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I haven't had a second interview yet, but if someone different is interviewing you, can't you wear the same outfit? It seems unlikely that the original interviewer would see you or even remember what...

  20. Help with interview outfit

    blah_blah_blah replied to lrobinson5's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That dress is so cute. I actually said "OOH!" when I saw it. Maybe instead of a cardigan you can do a blazer? A blazer seems more formal IMO, although I don't know how a blazer would look with that...

  21. how much do you pay on student loans per month

    blah_blah_blah replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't started paying yet, but I have 17K in loans and I'm set to pay back 177 a

  22. Is my blazer too small?

    blah_blah_blah posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have an interview friday and I have my outfit all planned out. I'm wearing black pants, a red top with a single ruffle down the middle (this top is made out of that slinky stretchy material so the...

  23. Is my blazer too small?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wasn't going to button it at all haha but I'm worried that it will look too small when I'm seated since the gap between either side of the blazer is considerably wider than when I'm standing . I...

    blah_blah_blah replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    It was up to our instructor for the rotation on how to do lunch. Sometimes we would take lunch in shifts. Half the group would go at one assigned time, the other half after. The instructor would go...
