    I agree! My college made everyone purchase at I along with all its extensions. Over $900 worth!! While studying for the nclex my coach wouldn't let me access certain parts of it because I didn't...

  4. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    BSN16 replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    Yes absolutely. Lots of places "say" they don't hire new grads. I applied for an ICU position at a trauma center here and in the interview the nurse manager straight up told me they don't like to hire...

    I can see where you're coming from, Well kind of i don't have any kids lol. But i'm a new grad and one of the jobs i applied for me was strictly days. They had a mixed staff of 12's and 8's, the 8's...

  9. Nurse forced to work as a CNA

    BSN16 replied to hillbillienurse's topic in General Nursing

    Alternatively, usually staffing gives us on option. I don't think staffing particularly likes to have nurses work as an aid either. What usually can be done too is, each nurse takes on usual CNA...

    BSN16 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Yes, i completely agree! Who knew that me simply telling someone what i believe "Actually, i'm an atheist..." would be so offensive to some? Best to keep it to myself i have learned. Have had people...

    BSN16 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    This topic is not debating one belief over another, MidLifeRN2012. Not trying to call the pot kettle but you stated "In society "YOU PEOPLE" are more guilty of shoving your ideology down the throats...

    BSN16 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I am curious, So my current catholic based hospital broadcasts a morning and evening prayer to each pt room over an intercom system. However, this hospital cares for a largely diverse population not...

  13. Nurse forced to work as a CNA

    BSN16 replied to hillbillienurse's topic in General Nursing

    My facility has had to do this a few times due to staffing issues. I usually only see it done over night when they require around 2 aids for 32 pts and all other floors are also short. Some nurses...

  14. What was your first Nursing job?

    BSN16 replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    I started out as a float tech while I was in nursing school. It was interesting and I enjoyed the variety, but because I was a float I wasn't able to make many connections with my coworkers and I'm a...

    I can relate to this. The mission/vision for the establishment i work at is to bring to life the healing ministry of Jesus through our compassionate care and exceptional service. It's a catholic...

  17. How fast did you land a job?

    BSN16 replied to johndough's topic in General Students

    Generally medsurg is more likely to hire new grads than a specialty area is, this is literally a fact you know to be true. With that being said, I said ideal floors because to a certain individual an...

  18. How fast did you land a job?

    BSN16 replied to johndough's topic in General Students

    I think it really comes down to where you live. I live in Iowa and there is an EXTREME nursing shortage and an abundance of jobs in all departments. All my classmates have been getting their ideal...
