  1. Just let me be...

    I'm an RN and I don't let anyone make me feel like the OP feels so I don't understand why she feels a need to vent if she didn't allow others to put her down. LPNs and RNs have overlapping responsabilities but they are not the same, hence the differe...
  2. New Grad RN need not apply

    First, with regards to the undertones and overtones: I'm not sure how much clearer I can make my opinion. Second, I have gone a lot longer than the OP without getting even an interview so I know where they are coming from. Third, I guess in your opin...
  3. New RN in LTC...is that a good idea?

    Don't get discouraged. It sounds like you did the right thing for yourself and the residents. I had to walk away from my first position as well because I was not comfortable with being the only nurse in my facility (LTAC) after 4 weeks on the job. Th...
  4. How many New Grads from 2009 still don't have jobs?

    I had the best luck with hospitaljobsonline.com and literally went through each Texas (you can specify your state) hospital (almost 400) on the list until I found specific jobs for new grads (very few hospitals had slots). Paid off for me but it took...
  5. New Grad RN need not apply

    OP, I've read some of your previous posts and, with all due respect, I DON'T think you should be a nurse. I would not want someone with your attitude caring for anyone. Many of us on the site have been through heck and back and have a passion for nur...
  6. I'm sure your wrote this post out of frustration but with all due respect your wasting energy on this lawsuit idea when you should be getting creative with your job search. Once you find a job I'm sure you will be very grateful to your school for eve...
  7. What to do?

    "They are always looking for people"= HUGE red flag. I worked in a similar place and ended up having to leave due to unacceptable working conditions. I would take the hospital job, hands down!!
  8. Am I stupid for giving this up?

    I felt the same way for the first week or so but it got better. I did usually have aides to help me. Are you always gonna have aides to assist you? Are you on your own? For me it was all my nerves, I learned to prioritize and got a little better each...
  9. When to know to quit...

    I just finished calling my two weeks notice to my DON and decided to check the site for similar stories to make me feel better and I literally think we work at the same facility. I have never been so miserable at a job and never felt so happy to quit...
  10. LPN??? RN???

    Find out your place on the "waiting list" if they have one, finish your prereqs and if you have your lpn you should only have a year to go to get your rn and at least youll have exp under your belt. Good luck its gonna be a wild ride!
  11. Any body had to redo nursing school?

    There will ALWAYS be reasons to quit. I could have walked away so many times and no one would have blamed me but I didn't and am now on my way to a new career, a new life in a new city and much more pay and opportunities. Stick it out, you wont regre...
  12. PTO - how much do you get at your hospital?

    Thats sounds really low. I average 208 per year based no 8 hrs per 2 weeks.
  13. Negotiate pay

    I was told by an instructor that nurses should move to a new position every 1-2 years and take advantage of the increased pay when taking a new position. He said as a nurse manager when he hired nurses he didn't hold against them the fact that they m...
  14. Is 53k for school worth it?

    New grads in TX are having a horrible time finding work. I would be very suspicious of their claims of job ops!!
  15. No one told me....

    I have plantar facsitis and it sounds pretty similar to what you've described. I am now using arch supports, hopefully it will resolve.
