   lpn2rn81 replied to lpn2rn81's topic in General Nursing

   thanks for the list of potential scenarios! I still am confused about how to proceed from here. Assuming I get the interview but perhaps don't get the job, do i need to list my current job on future apps and interviews? How would I explain leaving c...

   lpn2rn81 replied to lpn2rn81's topic in General Nursing

   emergencynurse, that was harsh! I am not trying to be like that! I honestly wanted this job to work out. BUT I also believe in giving my patients safe care and protecting my license. The current job I have is horrible, and I'm not downplaying. Never ...

   lpn2rn81 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello everyone, I dont' know if any of you guys have read my other thread that I posted, but I'll just give a basic summary :) I'm a recent RN grad, and for the longest time couldn't find a job, so I basically took the first offer that came my way. I...

4. Orientation and Job NOT what was promised, want to quit!

   lpn2rn81 replied to lpn2rn81's topic in General Nursing

   Haha, cherrybreeze, I wouldn't say you're naive. Anyway, Just finished a crazy 12 hour shift. I Had 2 preceptors ( 1for each half of the shift) that shift and we were so busy with admissions and transfers and discharges and bell-ringers and q 1 hr a...

   lpn2rn81 replied to lpn2rn81's topic in General Nursing

   Looking back over what you highlighted, cherrybreeze, I didn't realize how negative I was! WOW... and you're right, I did have jobs in the past that I enjoyed. I am applying to the hospital I used to work at. I am not trying to judge this new job b...

   Thanks guys! to Carol- everything you said is true and makes great sense. I will point out that i'm not 'wasting' time yet, as I have only had one day on the floor and was mostly observing. It was my preceptor who had to stay over 2 hours, and she...

   Thanks for your reply about including it on my resume/application... From what i've read from other threads, it seems that it is best to not omit a job, even if held for just a brief period. Let's say I get called in for an interview next week. At th...

   lpn2rn81 replied to lpn2rn81's topic in General Nursing

   Ok, so now my question is: If I want to apply to other jobs, do I need to list this on my application or resume? I only worked officially ONE shift so far..... I know I can't stay on this floor. It's not because I'm a 'new grad' and need to learn to ...

10. Quit after first day of orientation!

    lpn2rn81 replied to FLg8r's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't officially quit, but I am seriously considering it~~~ I read your story, and don't let the negative responses get to you. There is NO way to fully appreciate and understand how physically and mentally demanding nursing is. I commend you f...

    lpn2rn81 replied to lpn2rn81's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and I want to add..... I applied for a different position at this facility(not an Icu position). When I interviewed, the NM said that the other position might not be available, but that they needed help in the ICU.... she didn't go into details ...

    Wow! I just wrote this post a few hours ago and honestly didn't expect so many replies!!! Thank you guys so much for your advice. You guys basically reaffirmed what I know in my heart. This floor is not safe. As for my LPN experience, I worked on a m...

    Hello all! I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, so please forgive me in advance. I'm a relatively new RN grad. Dec. 2010. I had been unable to find a decent job for months. I have been LPN since 2003, but not worked steadily the wh...
