Here are some points I forgot to mention to complete this post: I wanted to add that I was on my own after a week and a half of training. Toward my last days there, I ended up crying when I was sent to a unit where I had about 30 patients as I receiv...
I spent three months working in a LTCF. I did not apply for the position. They found my resume on the web and I accepted an interview and took the job since some experience is better than none. I really wanted to work in a hospital. I figured I could...
Thanks so much for your comment. It should not have taken me so long to reply to you. However, I have been working at a SNF for 1 month now. I am called an RN Supervisor but, I only supervise aides. I am basically a floor nurse. I pass meds, do wound...

Since you are in a Magnet hospital can you tell me if there are also any cons to it? I have to give a presentation in a round table discussion on Magnet status, pros and cons, etc. in order to teach others. Could you please give me more insight? Sinc...
