1. Help! In over my head?

   froggy0381 replied to docomo's topic in Emergency

   Give it more time. I'm also new to the ED and about 3 weeks into orientation. I'm still frequently feeling lost but trying my best to dive in and learn. I've been told by many that it will take a good 6 months before you are truely comfortable in the...

   Yikes! Good luck to you both! I'm not moving until I know something for sure but hopefully I'll at least get the temp license. How long is it good for?

3. Applying to TX for endoresement...

   froggy0381 replied to froggy0381's topic in Texas

   Oh! I didn't realize they would give a temp. license if it needed further review from the Enforcement Div. Good to know! Fingers crossed! How did they notify you of your temp. license? and how long did it take you to get it?

7. Dec 2011 Graduates

   froggy0381 replied to beu4me06's topic in Job Hunt

   Congrats! I'm a Dec. 11 Grad still looking like crazy. (Washington state) It's incredibly discouraging and seems like it will never happen. Here's hoping for the rest of us!

8. New Grad Nurse Dilemma. Please help.

   froggy0381 replied to peacelives10's topic in New Nurse

   Keep the job!!! Coming from a new grad who has applied for about 200 jobs and gotten NOTHING...... You probably won't get your dream job right away. Take this position, get the experience and then look for something else after a year.

9. It's been almost a year! Ugh.

   froggy0381 replied to panpan's topic in Job Hunt

   I graduated in Dec. 2011 and am still looking for work too. I feel ya. It's incredibly discouraging to apply for EVERYTHING and get nothing for a response. I have applied for upwards of 200 jobs and have gotten nothing. The only thing I have is a "gr...
