  1. How to get acute care experience when you are no longer a "new grad RN"

    Scottishtape replied to arose26's topic in General Nursing

    This situation reminds me of someone in my family. She went to school, straight to PHd, without getting any experience in the field. She has a PHd now, but a year later, she still can't get a job...

  2. How to get acute care experience when you are no longer a "new grad RN"

    Scottishtape replied to arose26's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, that makes more sense. So, OP, you're a FNP with no RN experience? That's why they're telling you that you don't meet the new grad

  3. How to get acute care experience when you are no longer a "new grad RN"

    Scottishtape replied to arose26's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure I'm following how not qualifying for a new grad position is considered "injustice" when you're not a new grad, but... Apply for critical care positions farther away, network for "ins",...

  6. Credibility of online prereq courses?

    Scottishtape replied to emilystarr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took several pre-requs online from a very respected college. They are known to use lockdown browsers and proctored tests. My pre-reqs were never questioned by the bridge program I got into, or the...

  7. OR considered acute care?

    Scottishtape replied to jellybean5's topic in General Students

    I may be wrong, but I do not believe OR is considered critical

  8. That wasn't cool

    Scottishtape replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in General Nursing

    Serious advice: if you truly love science, and you believe you are at the beginnings of a valid clinical question, I recommend you take a research class of some sort. I just finished one for my...

  9. That wasn't cool

    Scottishtape replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in General Nursing

    Asking nurses to rate your physical attractiveness from "ugly" to "sexy" is NOT a scientific question, and it's highly inappropriate. Nor is this forum meant for random questions about the kind of men...

  10. MN to NP

    Scottishtape replied to RNcherry77's topic in General Nursing

    Are you already an RN? If not, that would be your first step. As far as your masters, I highly doubt your masters specific courses would transfer in. The general education would, but that would be it...

  11. Is nursing still for me?

    Scottishtape replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    If you're not ready, wait. If you jump in before you're mentally and physically ready, you'll most likely do poorly, and that will seriously damage your confidence. Take time to heal from both having...

  12. Applying for Jobs pre-grad

    Scottishtape replied to smartiipants's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a month away from graduation and I've already been offered a job on the PCU I'm doing practicum at. I've also applied to the hospital system itself for all of it's new grad openings (they do a...

  13. New grad position

    Scottishtape replied to TJnewgrad's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with PCU. Also, check to see if the hospitals have residency programs near you. I was just applying to some new grad spots in my area and saw a trauma residency for new grads at one of the...

  14. Best Job For a New Grad

    Scottishtape replied to NatalieSN's topic in General Students

    If you're sure you want OB, I'd start there. It'll be difficult to get a L&D position as a new grad, so, I'd probably start in mother/baby, and work my way over to L&D. Good

  15. LPN Application Essay! Please Help!

    Scottishtape replied to maddiebown21's topic in General Students

    Hi :) So, I can tell you put a lot of effort into your essay, and it shows! I will admit to drifting off a bit while reading it, because of redundancies. I know you said there was no word...

  17. Clinical stress and worries

    Scottishtape replied to JoannaLeigh8790's topic in General Students

    If you feel like your current load is too light, speak to your CI about it and see if you can increase by 1. I did that on my last clinical rotation. We only had to have 2, but I was bored, so I...

  18. Do you study over the summer?

    Scottishtape replied to Alto22's topic in General Students

    I study NCLEX questions (Saunders and Uworld) and I also rest. If you go non stop then you'll get burnt out and not be ready for your next

    Scottishtape replied to Waki3000's topic in General Students

    Yeah...nursing School can be rigorous, but I find it hard to believe she can only spare 20-40 minutes PER WEEK to talk to you. My husband was active duty for 10 years during our marriage. This of...

  23. Smoking on the property - supervisory question

    Scottishtape replied to notanumber's topic in General Nursing

    I would do both. Leave the employee with a verbal warning for now, but do document the break in policy and the steps you took to resolve it at this time. That way, if it happens again or is a...
