1. Incident Reporting

   Anglkses replied to RiverNurse's topic in General Nursing

   I would have done the exact same things you did (except the incident report piece and I will get to that). You were diligent and put the patient first. You didn't make a big deal about it you simply sought answers to ensure you provided appropriate c...

2. How long should you wait before knowing you didn't get the job???

   Anglkses replied to rebecca6890's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I would call after a week, I mean its not like you are calling each day. Another alternative is to get in touch with the nurse recruiter for the hsp. Send them an e-mail regarding your interest in the job, that you haven't heard anything in a week an...

   Anglkses replied to Anglkses's topic in New Nurse

   Thank you all so very much!!! I had my first solo shift tonight complete with a hospice patient on the decline, a new admit, and someone with a blood pressure of 222/86. All in all though it went well and I got everything done. Thanks for the advice,...

8. How long are the average new RN orientations?

   Anglkses posted a topic in New Nurse

   I am new to allnurses.com and this is my first post so I apologize if I do this wrong... here goes. I just started at a SNF (I have been there 3 days) and I am scheduled tomorrow as the only RN for the evening shift. I think the facility considers me...

   Anglkses replied to syndeytish's topic in New Nurse

   I am facing a slightly similar situation myself. I just started on at a SNF and have received three days of orientation and am now scheduled tomorrow to work by myself. I am a recent RN grad who only has 6 months of experience in Public Health Nursin...
