  1. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have a friend who has applied for many jobs. Not the stuff you did but actual hour long resume/test type applications. He has yet to find a job and he has 3 years of experience. I on the other hand...

  2. About U.S. vacation time..

    JWG223 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. When I quite I get that check

  3. About U.S. vacation time..

    JWG223 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital is put in a massive bind over such. I don't find argument with your post though.

  4. About U.S. vacation time..

    JWG223 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Sick time you lose 4 hours pay from that shift. Vacation time you just lose shift

  5. About U.S. vacation time..

    JWG223 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Quite right. I don't disagree with any of your post. I'm simply saying we have plenty of downtime in America. I choose not to use much of mine because of how I was raised. Vacation and time off was...

  6. Pre-Reqs. How hard was it for you?

    JWG223 replied to helpmeimpoor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hardly ever studied and managed a 3.4gpa over 2.5 years getting my previous req. Done. I took 2.5 instead of 2 years because I had a 4 year scholarship and chose to use more of it by taking minimum...

  7. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh no. I agree. Every time someone has trouble finding a job etc. It is definitely because they are of a certain skin color. That has to be it. I mean, that's all employers look at. Name and race....

  8. Paper Charting

    JWG223 replied to bsndeedee's topic in General Nursing

    I've always paper charted. I chart by exception and every two hours. If something unexpected occurs or a procedure takes place I chart it. Otherwise my 2 hour entry may read: 1530hrs vss, no

  9. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sorry all. If you think you're a victim you probably are. Carry on. It's not my problem and doesn't affect me in the least. Complain away. I'm out of the pity party. Interestingly though, many of you...

  10. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm sorry...I live in a town where the daughters of the confederacy flew a rebel flag in front of the court house for decades much of the time protested. In a state where a KKK grand dragon almost...

  11. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, if you would like to work for someone who views you as a lesser human being, then I must say, you're right. I was wrong. That's the job for you and not getting it was a loss. I guess I just...

  12. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The colleges I attended had tons of scholarships if you were Black. I say that, because that's how they are described "Available for African Americans*" in their descriptions. Just Google the college...

  13. About U.S. vacation time..

    JWG223 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I just don't see it that way. My employer expects me to be there, and I expect to be there. When I had to go to the ER, I called in that day as laying in bed my pulse was still over 100...

  14. Regarding chronic tardiness

    JWG223 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Contact HR. Let them handle it. Are you HR? Then there should be a policy in effect which could, eventually, lead to their termination. You now have to decide: Should you enforce it, or is it more...

  15. At a loss...

    JWG223 replied to KJoRN81's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Stop speculating and mind your own business is my advice. You are screwing around with someone else's career based on "speculation". I'd advise you to stop. Just my

  16. Regarding chronic tardiness

    JWG223 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I always clock in on time. However, certain people define "on time" differently than HR does. I go by HR, and ignore nasty E-mails, because when someone goes to HR...HR is going to play by THEIR...

  17. Is graduating from a top nursing program worth it?

    JWG223 replied to CarpeDiem'15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. NCLEX- how many attempts is too many?

    JWG223 replied to dinah77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Exactly. Not everyone is a "winner". Not everyone is meant to "do anything they want to do for a

  19. NCLEX- how many attempts is too many?

    JWG223 replied to dinah77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is what we were told the rules were when we graduated. If they were or not, I don't know. I took my 75 questions and left and didn't worry about

  20. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's all the more reason we should both want to get rid of discriminatory policies and monies. Giving people money because of their color DOES hurt them, I agree. This is why a large part of the...

  21. I Have The Time and Other Lies

    JWG223 replied to Preeps's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In America, the focus is on providing a "resort" type experience, with physical wellbeing secondary to the patient "enjoying" their stay. This means that we don't enforce diets, nor do we prevent...

  22. What kind of personal medical equipment are nurses allowed to use at the hospitals?

    JWG223 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I bring my stethoscope, writing tools, penlight, and scissors (cheap/convenient). Why waste your money on things your employer supplies? I get being excited and all, but keep the money in your

  23. I Have The Time and Other Lies

    JWG223 replied to Preeps's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That sounds exceptionally poor,

  24. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Certain ethnicities are over/underrepresented in certain fields. It's just the nature of things. Is the NBA against non-Blacks? No, I highly doubt that. I think that for racism to die the death it...

  25. About U.S. vacation time..

    JWG223 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I think too many people here feel entitled. I have worked nearly 5 years and called in sick 1 day. I was in the ER that morning. I think my cumulative days-off (vacation taken) during those 5 years...
