how new are you? I'm reaching a year of nursing practice and trust me, that feeling goes away! Like a PP said, school is a foundation, but most of your learning is actually done on the floor!!! We all make stupid mistakes. Wanna hear some of mine? I ...
yea... there's a million and one reasons people decide to leave their current unit. Mention something about wanting to broaden horizons, or learn a new field, or you want to challenge yourself a little more etc. No need to bring the coworkers into it...
Wow... I don't write orders without talking to the dr first, no matter how late. I mean, its not really that bad to call anyway. Just make sure you're prepared "Sorry for waking you up, pt has a temp of 101.9 but nothing PRN, can I please have some t...

I love the satisfaction of a good looking, clean dressing that I just changed. I also love wound vacs. There's something so satisfying about turning on the vac and seeing the "low leak" level, haha. I'm like... YESSSSSS! I think I'll eventually go ba...
I have found that if i just work my 3 nights in a row and knock it out, after that third night I stay up as long as I can, go to bed early that night and flip myself back into a day schedule for the rest of the week, lol. Works for me. Ex: Work sun, ...

There appears to be quite a few job postings that I've seen for experienced nurses in Orlando, the problem is that the new graduates can't find placement anywhere as someone mentioned. I'm a new grad and have had experiences in ORMC (orlando health) ...
LOL, yea, mine was like that for a week until I realized I was getting all the same sort of information for each facility... recruiter, contact info, deadline, etc, so why not just stick it into a spread sheet. Once you create it, its actually WAAAY ...
Thats the second time you've said this. I've yet to see somebody (on this thread at least) say that about you. I know you don't MEAN to come off as being snide, but you are. People posting advice about applying to LTC facilities etc are doing it with...
No, most applications weren't available until at least March. So I'd put that in my little excel spreadsheet: xxx hospital| Application opens March| Joe Recruiter (123) 456 - 7890 | Spoke to recruiter Jan 16th | Application deadline April 1st | Note...
Understandable, however, think of how much mommy can provide to her daughter if she were to get that first job and work a year. Not to mention, advances in technology such as a webcamera. If you chose to move, and utilize the connections you made in ...
Oh, thats really sad. Sorry, I didn't realize it was like that once you had graduated. It makes sense, but it still sucks. You worked hard for your nursing degree, why NOT stay where you have the connections and get a job? The hardest job to get is t...
How long have you been unemployed for? Have you thought to apply for an entry level clinical tech job, phlebotomist, or something, JUST to get your name in the system and your face seen by nurse managers. A majority of positions available don't get p...
Or like I said before, show interest. I went to a hospital 500 miles away from where I live since I was in the area, and just met with the recruiter to talk to her about my interest and the program. That was it. I got an interview, and my friend who ...
