  1. Online degree advice

    I have been an RN for less than 1 year and am currently working full time in sub-acute rehab. I am looking for a relatively inexpensive online RN-BSN program that I can do at my leisure. I don't care if it takes me 4-5 years to complete, I just want ...
  2. HELP, new nurse and I dont like it

    I am also a new RN and have been working sub-acute rehab/ltc for almost 3 months now. I work the 7A-7P shift, but 12 hours is not enough time to get all the work done for 20-25 patients. I work with some caring nurses, but management just piles way t...
  3. Feel like an idiot

    I had charted admissions before and incident reports before and did not have any problems. I don't know if it was a computer issue or if I was just so flustered over the acuity of the patient that they sent to us and my brain just stopped working. T...
  4. Feel like an idiot

    I am a fairly new RN, with about 1 year LPN experience prior. I found my first job in a sub-acute/LTC facility. This facility gives each RN between 18-22 patients, so you give meds, do tx., take off orders, do new admits, etc. all in a 12 hour period...
  5. ltc rant: short staff- burnt out-fall downs

    You are not alone. And the new cuts in Medicare are not making it any better.
  6. Orientation at LTC/Subacute Rehab facility

    I was told that I would have 2 weeks orientation and then, if I was not comfortable, I could ask for more. I had one day in a classroom to fill out paperwork and watch videos. Then had 2 shifts training. On my 3rd and 4th day, they were so understaff...
  7. When will I stop dreading going to work?!

    I feel your pain. I dread going to work in the mornings and sometimes feel like crying on my way home. The stress is terrible and I am losing sleep at night going over what I did during the day. I am also a new RN grad and just started my first nurs...
  8. Sorry I got the RN

    Yes, I started my first RN job right after the new year in a LTC/Rehab facility. It is definitely not my first choice, but it is a chance to get some experience and then hopefully find my niche. I had 2 weeks orientation and am going out on my own th...
  9. NEW GRADS! JOBS??

    Thank you, I think that they are the only ones that I did not send a resume to.
  10. NEW GRADS! JOBS??

    mel101478, could you tell me which home care agency is hiring new grads? I am in south jersey, received my license in July and have applied to everything and am still looking.
  11. Sorry I got the RN

    Most places will not allow you to work below your highest license. If you become an RN and your facility only carries so many RN's on their payroll and there is no room for you, out you go. I know a few of my classmates who worked in hospitals as aid...
  12. Sorry I got the RN

    Tried applying to flu clinics, did not get a call back from them either. If I were young and single again, I would pack up and move across country if I had to, but I have a family and cannot do that.
  13. Sorry I got the RN

    I actually know somebody that works at Shore Memorial. She even gave me some contact names to send my resume to and still nothing. Not even an interview. As for Atlanticare, they require the BSN and I am only ASN. I am taking classes towards my BSN, ...
  14. Sorry I got the RN

    I live in jersey and there are no jobs around. My youngest is in high school and my husband has a good job in this area, so moving to a location that is hiring nurses is really not an option for me. I have even considered getting my license for PA an...
  15. Sorry I got the RN

    Hope an "up" comes soon. I don't want to lose my skills. Hopefully something will come up. At this point, I will take anything that comes along.
