   Oh that's so exciting! How are you liking Wyoming? You'll have to let me know if you get into the program! :) Are you doing the LCCC nursing school or university program? I went to school in Laramie but we do almost all of our clinical experiences in...

5. WHY do so many people hate nursing? Sigh.

   guest937351 replied to RachealAnne's topic in General Nursing

   I love my job, (I fell in love with emergency medicine) I'm still very green at it so it can get very overwhelming quickly as you can imagine. I learn so much stuff every single day and on my days off I spend reviewing labs, medications, assessments,...

   Good Luck with getting the job :) that experience will be so good for you!!! When you get to work as a CNA before nursing school it gives you the best insider look at what nurses do and give you an idea if that's something you see yourself loving. I...

   It is hard as a new grad to get into the "areas" we see ourselves wanting to work, but it's not impossible! I was able to get a job as a new grad in the ER dept. out in California and being from Wyoming I had no connections out here. You're still a...

10. How do you deal with untherapeutic situations on the unit?

    guest937351 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Relations

    I'm not an experienced nurse at all, so take what I say with a gain of salt... Sounds like you're very overwhelmed. Don't under estimate the power of taking a cleansing deep breath and get yourself pumped up to jump in a be "super-nurse"... Some of m...

    I have a friend in human resources and it's her job to look up peoples work history... They do a good job looking into new employees, don't risk your professional reputation by lying about a work history you're embarrassed by. RNinthemaking15 is corr...

    I'm a recent grad from Wyoming, I was surprised by all the hoops you have to jump through just to make it into nursing school and then to graduate and then to get licensed! It's a journey Just know that you'll get through it and if not this semester...

    You'll definitely need to have ACLS certification, a lot of nurses in those fields have various Critical Care certifications like TNCC or CCRN. I was able to get an old book they use for those classes to read and look through. It gives you a pretty g...

    guest937351 replied to guest937351's topic in New Nurse

    Yes, I completely agree finding a job is my first priority and I'm tackling the hurdles of being new and no facility wanting a new nurse, but in the mean time I don't know exactly what to do to stay competent? How much longer do I have as a new nurs...
