1. Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

   W, RN replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

   I think it's a little crazy. If you have zero science background, the pre-reqs alone can take 2 years, and then definitely another 2 years of nursing school. And in my experience, people hiring really don't care about what kind of life experience yo...

2. How do I get a job in a doctor's office?

   W, RN replied to JourneyRN's topic in Pediatric

   I got my job in a peds office by just walking in with my resume and giving it to them. They happened to be hiring at the time. It was NOT for me, but it seemed pretty easy to get the job.

3. Peds Office then Peds Hospital?

   W, RN replied to DEgalRN's topic in Pediatric

   Can you tell me more about what you like about telephone triage? I also do phone triage but I really don't enjoy it at all. I'm trying to find the positives and stay positive myself!

4. New to Peds, vaccines question

   W, RN replied to maisyLPN's topic in Pediatric

   In my office, we would give those all in the deltoid. For an 11 year old, as long as they are an inch or greater apart, it should be fine. They will have more room to work with than you think.

5. Frustrated because I don't know as much as the older nurses.

   W, RN replied to W, RN's topic in New Nurse

   Thank you for the supportive words! Honestly, it is not a bad environment at all. All the other nurses are really nice and always happy to help me out, but I don't want them secretly doubting me as a competent peer. I guess it's just a paranoia. ...

   W, RN replied to W, RN's topic in New Nurse

   Yes, all I've been doing is going home to read up on things AFTER the fact. I guess it's good for next time, but it feels like too little too late. I have no problem with continued learning, I just don't want my peers to look down on me.

   W, RN posted a topic in New Nurse

   I work in a peds office. Parents are constantly asking me questions all day long about their kids. I don't always have the answers (in fact, many times I don't!) and I end up asking one of the other nurses who has been there longer the questions. ...

   I just wanted to update and say that I took the job YAY! I love all the little kiddos.

   W, RN replied to W, RN's topic in New Nurse

   Yes, I agree, I'm anxious to get started anywhere I can really. I just hope I'm not making a poor career move.

10. Asked why I want to do office over hospital in interview...

    W, RN posted a topic in New Nurse

    I personally enjoy the environment more and gave an honest answer. Although I think a hospital would give me a more well-rounded experience, I want to get my foot in wherever I can! Is it just unheard of that a new graduate would want to start in a...

11. Hello all! Should we be desperate to jump on any job?

    W, RN posted a topic in New Nurse

    Hi, I am new here. I have had my license for about 3 months. I know we have all been applying to jobs like crazy and not getting many opportunities back. My question is, should we be happy to take anything we can get? Or hold out for that dream ...
