I recall learning in nursing school that nurses eat their young. If you are inexperienced, I'm going to assume that many may perceive you as still tender enough to eat. With regard to making mistakes... It is important that you care enough about mis...

I personally know more than half of the class that recently graduated from Hartnell College. Due to the impaction of nursing schools and the non-waiting list method of student selection, the quality of students admitted in the past 3 years have been ...
I'm also a new grad, I think that it's great that you found a job. There are so many variables that I don't know, thus it's impractical to give advice. I can encourage you not to become discouraged. Confidence is a big aspect of everything that we ...
My impression is that you are admitting to committing a mistake and taking accountability, at a personal basis this is an important for all nurses. Additionally, it is unlikely that you will make this mistake again. If it were to occur again by you...
Call the local IRS and ask them what you should do. Even if someone on this forum has experience and offers some to you, many of us don't know about state taxes, etc. of your local state and municipality.

None of my class that worked at a hospital were hired by their hospital as a New Grad. The old advice and any advice given by everyone has pretty much not worked in the state of CA. According to urban legend, there is supposed to be some New Grad jo...
Do you want to actively pursue nursing or do you have other interests. I personally feel that false reassurance and advice isn't helpful. What do you want to do and what can you afford?
What are your thoughts on this matter? Certainly experienced nurses can tell you their thoughts, but when you practice the profession... Do you think that BSN nurses should clean up feces when their patients are soiled? At the bedside, what disting...

At least you're realistic: 4 to 6 years. On the bright side, the economy should be better by that time. At the age of 43, I recently graduated and passed the test for licensure. I'm currently trying to get a new grad position in this very ugly env...
Congratulations! I'm sure your vacancy as a New Grad nurse will be picked up quickly and be much appreciated by another applicant. It is said that you can't have 2 masters.
It's just a matter of supply and demand. There's a huge supply of applicant's and a small demand. There's a greater tendency for people to be dismissive of others when they don't find as much value in others as they once did.
I agree that the economy will not get better, but will stabilize. People will shift to jobs that have a lower supply of applicants. Nursing was a lagging indicator. The economy tanked, then the east coast nurses got hit and it flowed to the west c...
I think that it is natural and healthy for you to miss them. It is noble and good for us to find value in those that we care for. It sounds as if you are experiencing grief for your loss: your relationship with those that you care for.

Perhaps his email can be posted and all RNs in this forum can send him an email regarding the legitimacy of him calling himself a Nurse. It's probably more appropriate for him to call himself Head of Nursing, if this is in fact his role. I guess he...
