  3. Thinking of changing majors, need advice from nurses

    KrysyRN replied to FutureNurseWard's topic in General Students

    Have you thought about shadowing an OB nurse or lactation educator? Or techs? Hospitals in your area may offer opportunities to shadow, and it may help you to narrow down the areas that you feel are...

  4. Would you put a convention you attended on a resume?

    KrysyRN replied to The0Walrus's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You would never be wrong to add this to your resume. I would recommend using the heading "Professional Development" if you do discuss it there. However, I think a better place to discuss the...

  5. Compact Help!

    KrysyRN replied to _ember2nursing_'s topic in General Nursing

    Hello, If you do a search on nurse.org for "How To Upgrade Your Nursing License To An eNLC In 2018", I think you'll find answers to your questions. I also found a bunch of info on the Florida BON...

  6. Back to school? (LVN to RN RIGHT after my LVN Program)

    KrysyRN replied to pweezy2460's topic in General Students

    I'm not in CA but was enrolled in two different bridge programs (LPN to AD-RN, then AD-RN to BSN). Nursing schools will definitely, and probably primarily, look at your practical nurse/vocational...

  7. What Schools (public and private) accept multiple repeats in California?

    KrysyRN replied to FutureNurseAshe's topic in General Students

    A faster more accurate way to get the info you need is to go to the CA BON site (rn.ca.gov) for lists of approved associates and baccalaureate degree programs [do a search for 'Pre-licensure RN...

  8. EXPLAINING EXTENDED VACATION

    KrysyRN replied to Guest957596's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you took care of family members out of state, you could add that to your "Work Experience" section of your resume. Something like this: Caregiver (November 2018 - December 2018)....

  9. Resume Advice Wanted

    KrysyRN replied to CGP1971's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  10. Help with Staffing Incentives?

    KrysyRN replied to tfloyd's topic in General Nursing

  11. Panicking Over Vaccines 3 Weeks until School Starts!!!

    KrysyRN replied to guest1122560's topic in General Students

    I would recommend contacting your nursing school for answers. It will depend on the clinical site's requirements. Your vaccine in 2010 probably provided no immunity. It wouldn't surprise me if you...

  13. LVNs in Acute Care-PLEASE HELP!

    KrysyRN replied to klmb318's topic in General Nursing

  14. Integrity - Should I say something

    KrysyRN replied to MickyMb2's topic in General Students

    This is beside the point. Cheating and stealing (as you described) are not ok. I would definitely suggest reporting this. Who knows..maybe instead of ruining her life, you might actually save it. It...

    KrysyRN replied to Calbrunette's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Other sections that you can add: Volunteer Work, Professional Organizations, Languages. As far as describing your last position, instead of describing your job duties [which is in essence your job...

  18. Starting ABSN in August. suggestions on how to start studying for Pharmacology now.

    KrysyRN replied to Fav1892's topic in General Students

    You may want to see if your school library, or even regular library, has the "Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy" or "Pharmacology Demystified" books for nurses. These books are easy to read and will...

    KrysyRN replied to lo_an92's topic in General Nursing

  24. Shocking abuse caught on tape

    KrysyRN replied to Snatchedwig's topic in Nursing News

    Good God Almighty. I had to stop watching after that girl repeatedly hit the mentally challenged man with that belt. Talk about demonic and sadistic. I hope karma and the law found her soon
