Re: to work in a hospital or not?
1. You will have minimum of thirty patients per shift that you are legally responsible for. Can be up to sixty, depending on the facility and the staffing.
2. Orientation is very short, perhaps only a week, even if promised more.
Nursing school does not prepare you to just jump right in, it is different from when you have your instructor and a preceptor there to ask questions of, now others will be asking you.
Way too many patients for a new grad to be responsible for.
Salaries are usually lower than a hospital.
