3. Nurses who have relocated.What would you do? Your opinions please.

   BronxRN28 replied to nina_RN's topic in General Nursing

   Wow I felt like I was reading my life except I only get to see my family once every few months, which is extremely hard since I'm very close to my family. I pretty much moved 4 hrs away without knowing anyone and it's hard to be in a new place by yo...

4. How many patients do you typically have (day/night)??

   BronxRN28 replied to 2011nursetobe's topic in General Nursing

   I work on a med/surg floor night shift 11pm-7:30am. I can have as many as 8 patients and usually we have between 7-8 on any given night, which can be crazy sometimes.

   At my hospital the nurses in OB/LDR/Nursery are the only ones allowed to wear ceil blue. It's something we are told about in orientation. Other than that the nurses in other departments can where any color scrubs they want.

7. Entry Level Positions without a "New Grad" program

   BronxRN28 replied to lookup's topic in New Nurse

   No I don't think most hospitals expect you to hit the floor and be on your own. My hospital had a 3 week New grad internship program where you visit other nurses in different departments. Then you get 8 weeks (or more if you need it) with a precept...

8. how many felt overwhelmed?

   BronxRN28 replied to natalia13's topic in Relations

   Hi Joanna, After 8 months do you find yourself less anxious? I just came off training and last night was my first night without my preceptor. Most nurses have told me by 9 months to a year I won't feel as anxious as I do now. Let's hope that's the...

10. First Day On The Job!

    BronxRN28 replied to sn543's topic in Geriatric

    I wish you the best of luck. I remember my first day my anxiety level was a 10 (I think I'm down to a 6-8 now). Just try to soak up all the knowledge you can. I'm sure you will do fine. Are you working in a hospital or nursing home?

11. Want to get out of nursing, what can I do with my degree????

    BronxRN28 replied to pale_pilsen's topic in Career Support

    I was always told by my professors and other nurses that 1-2 years of Med/Surg experience is a good foundation. However, I'm working on a med/surg floor now and umm it's not my cup of tea (i guess I should give it more time before I say that), but I...

14. Old Grad

    BronxRN28 posted a topic in New Nurse

    So I'm far from a new grad anymore. I passed my boards in March of 2009. I have worked some temporary jobs as an RN but finally got my first hospital position on a med/surg floor which I started in April. Today will start my 6th week of floor orie...

15. new grad.......new everything

    BronxRN28 replied to newgrad87's topic in New Nurse

    I'm in my 3rd week of orientation and I feel the same way. Apparently this is how most new grads (and some old grads like myself) feel and from reading the various post on here it is to be expected. I'm constantly asking questions cause sometimes I...
