    Extra Pickles replied to Newnurse65's topic in General Nursing

    Is the Bloomfield College nursing program doable for one with children and severe anxiety?

    Extra Pickles replied to elisedepauli's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Step One is getting the anxiety and depression that you described as severe and enough to bring on panic attacks under control. If this has interfered with a prerequisite course, and you said it did,...

    Foreign Educated Canadian RN wants to work in USA

    Extra Pickles replied to kheemooy's topic in Nurse Registration

    I'll second this! Sometimes people ask questions about how to get a license, education requirements and such and it's amazing how little they understand about the process. Then they want to know why...

    guys help!

    Extra Pickles replied to lofferjean88's topic in General Nursing

    You sent in an application but left enough out that they needed you to send more information 3 months later. You still didn't have a complete application and so they asked you to send them more...

    Annual License renewal

    Extra Pickles replied to Newnurse65's topic in General Nursing

    I was so surprised to read this, I've never heard of anyone getting reimbursed for the cost of renewing a professional license. It's a condition of employment true enough but that doesn't make it an...

    Does your resume look a lot like this post? If so you should get together with someone who can help you make it look better. Writing like this you might not get an interview. are you a nurse or...

    Extra Pickles replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    generally speaking if you find yourself asking if something is unprofessional, and someone you know and trust tells you it's unprofessional, it's unprofessional! if you don't care that crazy hair...

    Trying to learn from mistakes

    Extra Pickles replied to Learningtobenurse101's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't want to repeat the firing process you'll have to take responsibility for what happened that got you fired the first time. You have a long list of issues in which you felt wronged, you...

    I'm in tears--to accept or decline?

    Extra Pickles replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you already know this and it isn't coming out right on the post but the year of acute care experience you need won't be earned by working as a PRN care tech. Doesn't matter if it's full time...

    Are Nurses First Responders?

    Extra Pickles replied to ScrubADub12's topic in General Nursing

    Where is this fact you are speaking about written? Your ID says you are a Dr. but you don't know that a BSN RN holds the same license as an ADN RN and that neither are "legally licensed" as first...

    I'm in tears--to accept or decline?

    Extra Pickles replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    it isn't semantics in the least! Asking about internships means the OP expected to find an internship as a student nurse, and there are those available, nursing internships in which a student is...

    RN transfer MI to NY

    Extra Pickles replied to lauraligh57's topic in General Nursing

    Did the Board of Nursing in New York give you any information? Did you already apply and found out you couldn't get a license without specific classes? If so they should have told you what they are...

    Just an annoyance I'm sure you all can relate to.

    Extra Pickles replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Students

    You shouldn't expect to have to get used to hearing this a lot. Some people are rude or thoughtless but most people once they hear you're a nursing student say something along the lines of That's...

    I'm in tears--to accept or decline?

    Extra Pickles replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    A student internship is about your learning experience and the person you would be working under, for free, is getting a small benefit from your assistance but the point of the internship is to give...

    waiting for jobs applied to call me

    Extra Pickles replied to sparkeepoo's topic in New York Nursing

    Probably because she can't figure out why she isn't getting hired. I told her the answer she needed to know, which is where to look for jobs. Unless what she really wanted was a bonafide job offer...

    It was actually. Could have been as rude as you just now, but didn't think it would help. I offered you good, sound advice and you got

    waiting for jobs applied to call me

    Extra Pickles replied to sparkeepoo's topic in New York Nursing

    You ask a question that doesn't make much sense and then get super nasty when you don't get the response you want? I think I can guess why you are having trouble getting a job. Why do you think being...

    Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Extra Pickles replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    it is incredibly naïve to believe that an employer who chooses to terminate an employee who has created a hostile work environment because of salary discussions is going to do or say anything that...

    Extra Pickles replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    no but I didn't take an exact poll! by the time I was ready to respond it looked to me like most people thought the OP didn't do anything wrong in blabbing her rate of pay. I guess I could go back...

    Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Extra Pickles replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    it looks like I'm in the minority here but I think the OP should never have opened her mouth about her salary. it was foolish and bad judgment on her part. I don't know what culture people are...

    Extra Pickles replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
