I graduated Dec. 2009, first day of work was Jan. 2nd 2010, I was not licensed until sometime in late January I think. I worked as a graduate nurse during the interim. I was hired before I graduated. I was not employed at the facility. I work at ...
It took me about 3 - 4 months to really adjust to 12's. But I did and I tried different shoes. UGH. I bought a pair of Saucony running shoes that hurt my feet badly! Wore them about 3 times. I bought Danskos and really liked them...then I bought...

I was not trying to be sarcastic. I see how it may have sounded that way. I just curious as to your thought process when you were doing it. I have no ideas for you as far as getting your job back...but I do wish you well.

As a new employee I have a lot of trouble knowing who is who...and what the names are and as I chart and cannot put the names with a face, I generalize and HATE it. I am doing my best to get and remember names, and know which Dr. is which as I don't...
Dallas/Ft. Worth here...and I have associates. I have not noticed a problem with ADNs being hired. I went to work immediately as did many of my classmates.
