    I spoke with a recruiter at my facility and one at a different one
  2. Feel stuck in medsurg

    With all the talk of how hard it is for new grads to find jobs... I feel like new grads have an easier time getting jobs than experienced nurses. I only have 2 years of med surg exp and I have been told that I must do imc before icu.. Yet new grads g...
  3. New grad feeling left out

    You are incorrect about how I ask question sand you are also incorrect about my team player attitude. Please explain how the charge nurse behavior was helpful and professional. You seem quite accusatory and one sided.
  4. New grad feeling left out

    I never said I was perfect. In fact, I was honest about my weaknesses. When I corrected the misperceptions and jumping to conclusions about how I ask questions, I was then accused of being defensive. I am not perfect, but I am also not an idiot. The...

    I agree! I love helping nursing students. Passing on what I have learned to others is my favorite part of nursing! I can't wait until I get enough experience to be a preceptor! :)

    Wow. This post explains new grad attrition.
  7. New grad feeling left out

    I agree. I would have preferred more support and kindness from my managers. If they thought i needed to work on something, they could've talked to me about it and not others on the floor. They could have taken me under their wings, showed me how they...

    You make a fabulous point about how to ask questions. It does sound better to first offer a plan or idea of how to proceed, instead of just asking. I'll def use that in the future.
  9. New grad feeling left out

    Actually, I was feeling more confident as time went on. I don't think it's unreasonable To still have some insecurity, due to me not having completed my first year. Most still think of people with less than one year of exp as a new grad...both hospi...
  10. New grad feeling left out

    Than you for the advice! I am actually applying at 2 different magnet hospitals with a nurse residency. This hospital I came from did not have a residency and was not magnet. It was 10 weeks of preceptor training. There was also a very high turnover ...
  11. New grad feeling left out

    I quit my first nursing job in med surg due to being mistreated. I was there for almost 8 months and I felt like I was being targeted by some charge nurses. They would yell in the hall, refuse to help me, told the director I asked too many questions,...
  12. New Grad MedSurg to ICU

    What makes you worried that you won't get into critical care? I thought med/surg experience was required at a lot of hospitals prior to entry into the critical care areas. Has this changed?
  13. Anyone applied for an Internship for Scott & White, June 2012?

    Congratulations!!!
  14. New Grad MedSurg to ICU

    I am about to graduate from an ADN program. I already have a bachelors in another field. I love critical care so much, I cannot even describe how much I love it. Due to a tight job market, I was unable to get an ICU internship position. I do have a j...
  15. Anyone applied for an Internship for Scott & White, June 2012?

    What did they say in the email saying you didn't get it? For me, they invited me to reapply in Jan and invited me to apply to some medsurg positions. Is that a good thing or just something they tell everyone?
