  1. I feel like I'm going to be fired.

    Neither of those mistakes would jeopardize the safety of your patient. No one was hurt, so it's ok and you'll learn every day. Btw I worked in radiology before becoming a nurse and the Tylenol wouldn't have been a huge deal for an abdomen MRI anyway....
  2. Dilemma: 3 VERY different jobs...

    Definitely not Kaiser. That narrows it down to 2. I ended up waiting around 6 months to get an RN job at the hospital I was already employed at, rather than get a lesser desirable RN job right away somewhere else, and I couldn't be happier with my d...
  3. I feel like I'm going to be fired.

    I definitely do not think you're going to get terminated. They said you need guidance, so it sounds like the charge will be there just for that. The charge is the best person for that, really. By having the charge work with you, they won't be taking ...
  4. This can't be safe at all

    DEFINITELY take the NICU job. Congrats! What an opportunity.
  5. Looking for tips for a stressed new nurse.

    I'm a new hospital nurse too, just 3 days off orientation too. Are there other nurses around? I run everything that is not routine by another nurse. Even if I think I know what to do but I'm a teeny bit uncomfortable. Even if they're annoyed and look...
  6. Getting acute expereince to get into SNF/nursing home? Huh?

    As soon as I for my acceptance letter to nursing school, I started applying like crazy. I had a lot of clerical experience, so was able to get a hospital clerk job after applying to about 20 jobs. My department has had good outcomes in hiring nursing...
  7. Getting acute expereince to get into SNF/nursing home? Huh?

    Recent grad here. Every organization has its own parameters, so I wouldn't suggest ruling out acute care or SNF or any other type of facility that hires nurses. My classmates were able to get jobs in a variety of facilities, but you have to really lo...
  8. Yes it seems like that's the way to go. I'm still trying to figure out what I can bring and eat quick that's not full of sugar. I may start baking mini muffins or bars to take.
  9. bipolar recovering addict cant get job ! is it over

    You may need to get in through a personal recommendation. Maybe one of your instructors or classmates can help you out or put in a good word for you? Also, have your career office at your school look over your cover letter and resume to ensure it's t...
  10. 30 mins unpaid. Which means I'm starving like half the day.
  11. How long did it take for you to get your job after license?

    So glad I can help :) I'll be praying for you, too.
  12. How long did it take for you to get your job after license?

    Honestly, it's a great mystery what happens in HR. Yes, the unit wants to fill the position ASAP, but they can't because everything goes through HR. We had a position vacant for months before HR gave us the "permission" to start interviewing, and we ...
  13. How long did it take for you to get your job after license?

    It's normal to not hear for 3 weeks. The hiring process is very slow. For the position I have now, I applied in July, interviewed in September, and started in November. And I was an internal applicant. For the non-nursing hospital job I had before s...
  14. New Grad Nurse -LTC Blues

    It's not you, it's not nursing, it's your work place. The reason many nurses don't want to work in LTC is the unsafe nurse to patient ratios, plus you're dealing with an unsupportive learning environment. Apply to other jobs. You may or may not be ab...
  15. Two weeks in, and I need a vacation!

    I know, I know. It stinks and it's so upsetting. I had a choice between taking a job I would not like that was not safe (a nursing home with up to 60 patients for 1 nurse on nights) not knowing if or when I would ever find something that I liked, or ...
