  1. What did I get myself into??!! I'm scared!!!

    I worked 2.5 years on a med-surg floor, while I loved med-surg I did not like floor nursing. I have been doing HH for 5 months now and I like it. I like that I can go to work at 7am, 9am or whenever, however I chose to go in early so I can be done ...
  2. LPN/RN ...Is it all the same? Please Advise!

    I went straight to med/surg with 8 weeks orientation as a new grad. I find only new grads get a good orientation. If you've been a nurse for awhile, they throw you out there. Fortunatly I have been lucky with my two jobs. Leaving bedside after 2 ...
  3. Tired of Hearing the One Year Experience Required Line!!

    I am a graduate from a diploma school (only one in my state) and it was easy for me to land a job. Since the school is hospital based they (the hospital) hires the new grads! I graduated in 2010 and spent 2 years on a med-surg floor and now work in...
  4. Considering leaving hospital after new grad internship

    I spent 2 years on a busy med-surg floor as a new grad. Like others have stated even the one year isn't enough anymore. I landed my dream job and I believe my 2 years at the hospital landed me the position. I now work M-F days and make $3 more an ...
  5. Anyone in the MSN program?

    Yeah, I have read everything I can about the program but had yet to speak to anyone in it. The BSN program is two classes at a time and I find that is doable as I work full time as well. Thanks for responding.
  6. Anyone in the MSN program?

    Congrats Karen!! I'm considering it but not much info out there on the MSN program yet. I just started the BSN online in July and I like it too. I was looking into the education or healthcare policy track, but I have awhile to think about it.
  7. hardest part about nursing is finding a job

    Also, check craigslist. Doctors office/clinics post for nurses there and that may be an option for you. If you're not pickey the city of St. Louis jail is hiring and the pay isn't bad. Starts at $24/Hr for RN. The Veterns Home hires new grads and...
  8. hardest part about nursing is finding a job

    Are you looking for something specific? It's hard right now in St. Louis. Have you tried St. Anthonys, Des Peres, Jefferson Regional Medical Center (which is opening an urgent care this fall) or St. Alexius? All of those hospitals hire new grads. ...
  9. Nurses who never worked in the hospital?

    I don't think hospital experience is a needed experience now as it was in the past. I did go directly to a med-surg floor and spent 2 years and still work PRN (more than I like) and I do believe for me it was a great start. It helped me with organi...
  10. How would deal with these type of CNAs?

    It's hard for new grads. I've been out of school and at my hospital for two years. They are testing you, to see how you work, your abilities, and your attitude. I had this happen to me as well and once they saw that I would get knee deep in it wit...
  11. Did I help or hurt him???? :(

    Good for you! That boy was lucky to have you there. Although I agree with the others that your safety comes first!!! My husband was in a car accident 7 years ago. He was working out of town and was a back seat passenger when he took off his seat ...
  12. RN-BSN July 2012..

    I am currently in Transitions and Cultural Diversity and my professors in both have been great. I just signed up for English Comp and Health Assessment for September. I usually start my postings on Tuesdays. Each class requires different posting r...
  13. Paramedics rank higher than LPNs?

    Paramedics work in the ED at my hospital and I hold the greatest respect for them. There are two that work the night shift and I find them to be great at patient care and if I ever need an EJ I know who to call!!
  14. Anyone in the MSN program?

    I am currently attending the RN to BSN online and would like feedback from others who are currently in the MSN program. How do you like it? Did you bridge from Chamberlain? How are the instructors? I am really enjoying the online BSN program.
  15. Discouraged new RN

    Been on a med/surg floor for 2 years. First year was hard, I thought, and not so much physically hard but mentally hard. IT GETS BETTER!! I searched and searched for a new job, every day. Went on interviews, never got hired so I stuck it out. Gl...
