2. Nuse Tech to RN transition and Orientation

   RNroseshea replied to aheiskill's topic in Safety

   I would not worry about the techs/CNAs if I were you because you have a new position and you need to learn the important basics to protect your license during this transition. Help out when you can, but if you are busy, tell them so. Also, I did no...

3. Young Nurse becoming Old

   RNroseshea replied to lvlissl2ebecca's topic in General Nursing

   I too think that this is an unfair way to schedule you. At my facility, staff has to work holidays according to their status of full-time, part-time, per diem, contingent, etc. For example, a full-time employee has to work 2 -3 days of each holid...

4. Positive Thoughts

   RNroseshea replied to Kymmi's topic in General Nursing

   First off, I would like to say that I love nursing! I worked very hard to get where I am and I appreciate the skills that the nursing profession has taught me. However, as a new RN with a fresh license and working in a crazy environment..I do come...

5. Phone interview

   RNroseshea replied to Happeetxn's topic in General Nursing

   Good job and I know you will get the job! I had two interviews this week and one just called back Friday and asked if I could come to meet the workers on the unit December 31. The other unit told me in so many words that I should hear something back...

7. Now I understand why there is a nursing shortage

   RNroseshea replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

   Brave to me is not working yourself out of your good health..that's insane. Most rational people know their limit and know when their body/mind is being screwed due to being overworked. Whatever happened to standing up for yourself? Where are the ...

8. Whats the scoop on clinicals?

   RNroseshea replied to vaileheart's topic in General Students

   Every clinical is different and every instructor expects something different. Have a drug guide ready to go over drugs with you instructor before you give the meds (action, indication, side effects, etc). Have your small pocket notepad (to keep pat...

9. Phone interview

   RNroseshea replied to Happeetxn's topic in General Nursing

   Yes the recruiter was a RN as most are in my area. She asked me questions like: "How did you go above and beyond to satisfy a very irate/disgruntled patient/family member?", "Give me an example of how you acted as a patient advocate?" (and I used th...

11. Phone interview

    RNroseshea replied to Happeetxn's topic in General Nursing

    I had a phone interview before for a big hospital system in my area. In my case, the recruiter questioned me as the first step in the application process. Afterwards, I was called in for an interview by several unit managers in the various RN posit...

12. How do you deal with all the bickering and backstabbing at work?

    RNroseshea replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, I do think that a lot of nurses who behave in negative ways are either burnt out and/or very unhappy outside of the workplace. It may seem like a far fetched idea, but I also believe that some of these hateful women may be victims of domesti...

13. I Finallly Graduated!!!

    RNroseshea replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats...now the big one...The NCLEX! Study tips: Kaplan online qbank trainer, Feuer nursing review (the cds and notes are great and are on nclex), & learningext.com (the makers of the real NCLEX). Good luck!

14. Working as an CNA after finding out you passed????

    RNroseshea replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you start looking for a job as a LPN? You don't have to stay there..put in your two weeks once you find a job elsewhere (or there if LPN positions are offered).

15. How many times did you switch jobs as a RN?

    RNroseshea posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am curious to know how many times as an RN did you change jobs in order to ultimately find your niche in nursing? I ask this because I am now having regrets for starting as a RN in adult cardiology...I think I like it much better in pediatrics.
