1. Novice ER Nurse needs help please

   RN <>< replied to Lunar's topic in Emergency

   This post was absolutely perfect. Why not give us a class like this while in school perhaps the last semester. I would have taken that class in a heart beat.

3. Novice ER Nurse needs help please

   RN <>< replied to Lunar's topic in Emergency

   Same thing happened to me. Never again mention any weaknesses or doubts about yourself because they will use it against you. In reality they are not weaknesses but in the ER apparently they are. As far as your goals and planning I am sure a more e...

4. Ever Tried to get a Job outside Nursing?

   RN <>< replied to Destiny12's topic in General Nursing

   If it is hard for you to find jobs that are not bedside with your experience then I guess there is not much hope for graduate RNs such as myself. I do not want bedside either as I recently found. And, well now I've been looking other places and the...

7. Do you guys really hate nursing this much?

   RN <>< replied to damaranicole's topic in General Nursing

   The beauty of becoming a nurse is that you do not have to do bedside nursing. If you do not like where you are then change it. Insurance, Elementary school nurse, Educator, Dr's office, IV team etc... Don't let the negative comments scare you.

8. Those that prefer to work with men

   RN <>< replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry to say but the men in my department are patient with me and are always ready to teach. Women on the other hand give you the feeling that you just don't belong there. That is the experience I have gotten from these past 2 months. Very diffic...

9. Resource RN/RN Assistant?

   RN <>< replied to RNStudy's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know much about that position but I would take it if that is the place you want to be. Maybe after working there for awhile they will see your talents and put you in the position you want. At least you will have your foot in the door. Best...

10. Someone please help!!! Any info is helpful

    RN <>< replied to nique281's topic in General Students

    I Studied the Hesi guide and passed the entrance exam, however on the exit Hesi I didn't study the guide (d/t finals) and almost passed but not quite. Thankfully at that time the school didn't require you to pass the Hesi in order to graduate (now t...

11. This is not the ICU

    RN <>< posted a topic in Emergency

    This is my 4th week in the ER as a new graduate. My preceptor and instructor had a nice little talk with me, and I was told that this is not the ICU and that I do not need to thoroughly check all systems of each patient. Have any nurses here strugg...

    RN <>< replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Activism

    That is amazing and so nice, it's an incentive to stay fit or become fit.

    RN <>< replied to FLOBRN's topic in General Nursing

15. Issues with a new job,,,insight and advice appreciated

    RN <>< replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    So you take vitals slower than they do.....what a shocker. You have no experience and they have years on you. Honestly I think they are giving extra time because you asked for it and needed it. They've been training you so I don't think that they ...
