  1. Uh, yikes. I agree with whistleblowing to the state and regulatory agencies.
  2. Being a SAHM after graduation

    I graduated in Jan. Had my first in Feb. Stayed home for a few months before going nuts and jumped into my first job in May. I work 24 hours a week, second shift and we have a sitter for a few hours between when I leave and when my husband gets home....

  4. Float pool as a new grad?

    So a little BG: Just graduated in January with my BSN (have an undergrad in biology as well), worked at a small community hospital as a student nurse intern in the float pool. Graduated, got my license, and no job. No job prospects. After two months,...
  5. Impossible Family Member

    We've got a family removing their loved one from our facility because our doc refuses to prescribe Imodium for her loose stools...she has Cdiff. So they said they would bring it in and give it to her themselves. The doc called and talked to them abou...

    I am a new grad with a BSN and also a BS in biology. My long term goal is to go back to become an FNP and work in primary care. The job market where I live is absolutely horrible- there are hardly any jobs and even those in LTC want 1+ year of exper...
  11. Every weekend jobs

    Has anyone heard of new grads getting per diem positions?
  12. Every weekend jobs

    Thanks for your input. The nursing market here in Rhode Island is brutal. Mostly all postings don't want new grads. Even those (like myself) who worked as student nurses- it doesn't count as experience
  13. Every weekend jobs

    I've got a 6 week old so that is the exact reason i'm looking into it. I'm not too excited about the idea because of the reasons you listed plus never seeing my husband. But it might be a good idea for a little while...
  14. Every weekend jobs

    I'm a new grad looking to work every weekend. Are these jobs few and far between, or something to bring up to HR and/or unit managers? I worked as a student nurse intern at a hospital and they're always short staffed on weekends. Just curious what yo...
  15. Admission to RIC

    yes- GPA is reset when you start taking classes at RIC. They will look at that one to decide if you're above 3.0 or not, not the GPA you have now. What they will look at from your previous school is the grades you got for your prerequisite courses. G...
