   You did a great job really! I know how hard it must've been for you to be feeling alone, and now maybe feeling isolated. But I guess most would agree that you did the right thing. And talking to your manager if you know something isn't right may upse...

   Hi LadyQT. As for me, I will be starting my new job on Monday. They took me in middle of November, but the hospital-wide orientation will be next week. That's why I had to wait. I heard that the job market here is better usually, but I'm not so sure ...

   My advice is to you is to take each day at a time. You can never be prepared enough for the challenges that await you when you're actually there. School usually cannot compare to the real nursing... What I can say is just persevere, do your best but ...

   I did Addie. And I was very upfront when I interviewed for this position that I will be working for. Honestly, I was very apprehensive that they wouldn't give me a chance. I followed up with them the week after and they told me, "we have another new ...

   My mom, dad, and sisters completely understand me and accept my decision. In fact, my mom was the one who told me BEFORE I decided to quit and was still afraid that I was going to make a mistake, "you are young. You have the privilege to make mistake...

   lovendove, first of all, know that you are not alone. You are amongst thousands of novice nurses going through the same thing.. I did think that I love nursing until I came here in the US and worked my first job in a med/surg/tele floor. I hated ever...

    I_Scream replied to I_Scream's topic in New Nurse

    Hahah same here! It's painful to answer those questions. Sometimes, I even try to avoid them altogether. You can't explain the situation to everyone! and it kills me to look at them and see through them and think that maybe they think Im a loser or a...

    Wow christy! I know this doesn't sound right but I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one. And I'm sure we're not the only ones! I also am feeling the same way as you do, sad and depressed and desperate when I think about it, but it was a decision...

    I_Scream replied to I_Scream's topic in Career Support

    Thank you again Jolie! Yes, that was a rush position I must agree. That's why I didn't jump into it, so I wouldn't be in the exact same place where I am now. I am also happy hearing about other new graduates who have been through the same experience...
