  1. Just Finished Orientation - Miserable :(

    that is a great post. and it's one of the reasons i would absolutely give hospital nursing a true shot. but this unit is just too high acuity for me. i think i need to recognize my limitations and be safe.
  2. Just Finished Orientation - Miserable :(

    thank you, everyone. last night was my first night off orientation, and it was a disaster for all the nurses there, simply because the acuity is high - but i was not allowed a chance to pump at all in my entire 14 hour time frame that i was there. th...
  3. Just Finished Orientation - Miserable :(

    i have thought about asking this, but im afraid they're just going to let me go altogether. i am definitely not interested in inpatient hospice. we are a very well-rounded teaching hospital, so i know there are units that are a better fit for me out ...

  5. Just Finished Orientation - Miserable :(

    we get paid from 7AM-730P a flat hourly rate. if we clock in early (say, 645AM), it counts as 7AM. If we clock out anytime between 730-8PM, it still counts as 730PM. We still get paid for being there, but OT is only if we hit 80 hours in 2 weeks, so ...

  7. Just Finished Orientation - Miserable :(

    hi everyone, so i graduated from a second degree program at one of the top schools and was fortunate enough to get a job at a top 10 hospital in trauma. on paper, this sounds great, but in reality, i am really, really struggling. i don't think it's j...

  11. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    Or im sorry, it is $5k for each course?
  12. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    I thought $5k was for the entire summer, too. If that is really per credit hour, that would be insanely expensive wouldn't it?

    ps, is anyone else accepted to Penn with the Anesthesia concentration??
  14. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    oh, and i was notified via email!
  15. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    i think it depends who you interview with, too! i interviewed with a panel of 4 faculty members. they asked why nursing, why nurse anesthesia, what i do to relieve stress, how i feel about the philadelphia area, my biggest strengths and weaknesses. t...
