  1. How can I get hospital experience as an RN?

    I agree. They usually hire anybody.
  2. How can I get hospital experience as an RN?

    You have three years of experience in what specialty? You might want to jump in an ACLS which probably will make you more marketable. Have you also considered looking in states like Arizona or New Mexico? They are ALWAYS hiring.
  3. How often does this happen?

    I am aware that people are fired for other reasons than performance. My question is if this is something common in nursing. This is true that neither side probably told the whole truth. But the nurses who know all the juicy tidbits of gossip didn't h...
  4. How often does this happen?

    I worked with a nurse whom was new to my unit (Critical Care) and she was doing very well. When she had her midpoint evaluation, she stated that she was told that her preceptors said great things about her and that the only things she had to work on ...
  5. Beginner's Blues?

    You are certainly welcome. I guess you are right. Maybe I am being to hard on myself. Thanks so much for the encouragement and putting things in better perspective for me.
  6. Too much time on her hands? I think so.

    Thank you for your input. I have chosen to be private and come to work to do what I need to do. In my experience, it is best because I have had female nurses try to "play me out of position" and through me under the bus. I have had a problem with bei...
  7. Beginner's Blues?

    I just started in the ICU about 3 months ago on orientation. In about 4 weeks I will be getting off of orientation. Before starting in the ICU, I had about 4 years experience in telemetry. But of course I knew this is definitely WAY different than t...
  8. Too much time on her hands? I think so.

    I go to work to take care of my patients, not make friends. However I am cordial and helpful to my colleagues. I don't consider being professional as being socially lacking.
  9. Too much time on her hands? I think so.

    Thank you for your positive input. This industry is extremely competitive and can be quite vicious. I have learned to keep my co-workers as simply that- co-worker! I have seen situations in which other nurses tried to find out as much info as they c...
  10. Too much time on her hands? I think so.

    That's find if I came up. But why the need to come back to me to let me know that, in my opinion, she verified my story. Ok...AND?!?! What was the point? I just looked at her like she was crazy. Find better things to do with your time, please.
  11. I just started a new position at another hospital. My preceptor introduced me to another nurse whom asked me what hospital I came from and I told her. She asked me if I knew a nurse and gave me her name but I wasn't sure who she was because 1) I am n...
  12. Is the cynicism inevitable?

    Yup! The more I deal with people, the more I love cats and dogs. smdh.
  13. Crazy preceptor?

    Thank you for your positive, objective response. I have been an RN for almost 6 years now but in healthcare for 10 years. I have dealt with a lot of interesting people. lol. So, I know that the behavior for the most part does not have to do with me....
  14. Crazy preceptor?

    Before I decided to work in the ED, I was informed a long time ago that the ED attracts nurses of certain personality types. lol. Now that I am there, I see what they are talking about. My preceptor switches up a lot, is quite abrasive, intermitten...
  15. Any good ER reads?

    Hello fellow nurses. I have 6 years of nursing experience in telemetry. I just started working in the ED and I must admit I feel like a new grad again. My 4th day on the floor I had 2 patients and felt overwhelmed. I feel as though I need some extr...
