A FEW details about myself? That's impossible.

  1. Sexual Assault Exams

    I am a SANE and that is completely unacceptable for your manager or even your department to think that your job duties as an ER RN include SAFE. You did the right thing. Your experience in the past is no one's business at work. I wish you well and...
  2. How to stop crying at clinicals?

    I really appreciate this topic because I am dealing with crying at my job as a nurse. Thank you all for putting out great tips and ideas-extremely helpful. I cried two times during nursing clinicals-two very sad cases. The first time I was able to ...
  3. New Grad RN can't find a job

    You all are cracking me UP! Oh I sooo remember finding my first nursing job! I feel for you and suggest plasma centers, blood banks, dialysis centers (sometimes), community health clinics in your area or a more rural area where you could commute? I...
  4. Hey everyone, I am asking for what your thoughts are on this conversation I had with a psychiatrist on staff the other day. Background-I work in a community clinic that sees people from Behavioral Health to General Medicine to HIV Primary Care. I am...
  5. I love public health and public health loves me. The PH arena is a great place for you to learn. I'm still a pretty green nurse, but I do not regret avoiding the hospital arena. Would I ever work in a hospital? Maybe. ED sounds rad, but I'm not ...
  6. PHN environment?

    I think your psych background will be really helpful in public health. I currently work at a non profit clinic which provides general medicine, HIV, Hep C care. We also have behavioral health with psychiatry and even dentistry. The environment can...
  7. Nurses laid off - Thanks to Obamacare

    I had my first day of work today, which was kind of overwhelming....These posts are making me crack up-thanks so much! It's also really nice to know there are some nurses out there who believe in ACA (I'm currently living in the Midwest and hear ton...
  8. SO TRUE! Good luck-I'm moving back to Missouri to get my one year, whatever it takes to get that experience. DCF/CDCR are great options, but they take forever to hire you on. Hospitals are not really hiring new grads even internal applicants, so s...
  9. NCLEX Rules - Please Follow Them!

    My test shut off at 75 questions and I just sat there. I started to hyperventilate and the person monitoring the test takers came over and said, "Okay, it's over, you're done." I started to cry and said, "I just want to answer more questions!" I p...
  10. What would you do?

    Thank you all for your responses. I have talked with SO and kids...went surprisingly well. My SO and his children were so supportive during nursing school and still so now. Thinking about not seeing them that often hurts though . Even my close fr...
  11. What would you do?

    We have been together since 2005, I'm 32. He is moving up in his job and is not willing to relocate to MO, plus all of his family is in CA and all my family is in MO. Sigh...
  12. What would you do?

    So I need to ask for advice in regards to a major life decision.... I went to nursing school in Kansas City, MO. I lived in Sacramento, CA before school and it had horrendous waiting lists and lotteries and a high tuition, so off to KCMO I went. I ...
  13. Random drug tests in nursing school?!

    I agree with this completely. I also remember during nursing school we had an OB patient test false positive for meth and the staffs attitude toward patient TOTALLY shifted (which is sooo wrong) and then they retested the SAME sample and it was nega...
  14. Overreacting?

    Hella weird....on both ends-hospital having a Facebook page and her responding.
  15. Correctional Nursing as a New Grad

    I hear what you are saying Orca in your post. The sad thing is as a New Grad the only people that have responded with a possibility for a position are the correctional jobs for me. I would love to work med/surg for a year. I loved it in school-you ...
