505girl - follow up question

I still love, love Mountainview! I am off of orientation now...and there is like unlimited overtime!!!!! I am working 5-6 twelve hours shifts, each week, for the next several weeks! Yes that is 60-72 hours a week. Not only do I get overtime, but also a $100 bonus for each extra 12 hour shift picked up per week. I am working nights now...and those 12 hours fly by so fast. I totally love having the oppurtunity to work overtime and gain experience AND get my routine/time management down. I am "staying safe" by going, basically, straight to bed, each night and getting a solid 8 to 8 1/2 hours of sleep. I bought a bunch of groceries to last like a month ahead of time. (Which I would highly recommend for anyone to do , due to the Katrina disaster) So...I am totally thanked for offering...because that means that a temporary nurse does not have to come in for that shift...

I'll try to put a good word in for you...lol. Heck, who knows, maybe I could be your preceptor at that point! My preceptor had only been a nurse like 18 months. So, she was kind of still a "new grad"....keep in touch

Still working lots of hours; I have had two super crazy nights (still 6 patients though)--but I still love the staff and the work setting.

Hi there 505 girl,
It sure is great to hear you are continuing to have positive working experiences. I am so sure your skills and management techniques are growing each week by leaps and bounds. I wish all of the new nurses could be as happy and positive about their job experiences.
I wish you continued success. Keep posting your good experiences so it will give others encouragement. I wish you a blessed day.

Thats what i miss about mountainview.!

Hey 505,
Anything new to report?
