Just as the post states--I was hired on a busy intermediate oncology unit at a large urban hospital a few months ago and I'm miserable. The preceptors aren't great, have the aides simply don't work,...

As long as it doesn't paint you in a bad image. For example, if you said your weakness is that you get attached to your patients, you need to be prepared to communicate that you know how to set...

I graduated with my BSN in December and I currently work in the ER of a hospital (though as a contracted employee) and I'd really like to introduce myself to some of the hiring managers (some who...

Yes. I live in Ohio and my hospital hires new grads each application cycle.

I am a senior nursing student working at a mid-sized teaching hospital in Ohio. As I search for jobs, I'm a little surprised to hear many of our nurses and docs encouraging me to seek employment...

I need help with a question for my adult health nursing course. I'm comfortable calculating IV rates given volume to be infused, time, gtt/min, etc. but our latest questions include another piece of...

I don't mean to sound unsympathetic but you're just going to have to get thicker skin. I work in a pediatric ER (not much different than urgent care or primary to be perfectly honest) and parents...

This mainly applies to my pharmacology course but my instructor has put several questions on our exams regarding when to notify the physician and/or hold the dose when a patient experiences a side...

Thanks for the response. I've had great experiences with 95% of the faculty in the CON. Since this posting, I've applied to the program, was accepted, and I'm in my second week of first semester...

Thanks guys!! It's good to know that there are some hospitals willing to higher new grads. I'm definitely willing to relocate so I'm excited to start looking elsewhere :D

I'm curious as to whether there is a certain region or industry nationally that is willing to hire new grads. In my part of the county, it's close to impossible for someone without at least one year...

Whispera--Just considering graduate school. I'm very interested in women's health and I'm torn regarding which program I should pursue, be it WHNP, CNM, or FMP. I've been researching their...

Whowland-- NPs have restrictions and regulations regarding their prescriptive authority so my question regarded whether they have any restrictions on writing fertility drugs. Thanks anyways.

Thanks--does the authority only extend to CNM, FNPs, and WHNPs?

Just curious as to whether NPs (nurse midwife or women's health NP) have prescriptive authority to write drugs like Clomid, etc? Thanks!

I'm sorry to post another 'burned out nurse' post but I'm growing very tired of my RN position in the hospital. I'd love to find a position without the administrative garbage. I truly love and...

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. The good news is that many women with similar situations have done what you're doing. It's not easy, it's a sacrifice and a crappy one at that. But what...

I've been getting some rather disheartening feedback on the status of this program. I.e.: lack of preceptorships, disorganized program, etc. I've had bad luck with another nursing program in the...

Thanks again for the replies--you just confirmed what I already figured, lol. It indeed was Owens Community College. Luckily there are a couple other programs in the area--I'm just sick of bouncing...

Thanks for the imput--actually the other two programs in my area are significantly more expensive so hence, my dilemma. The other program is a BSN program which was just started--I'm a little...

I know this might belong in the student section but I would appreciate the opinions of those in the workplace who have gone through applying/hiring cycles. How would having an ADN from an...

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for your help!

From what I have researched there are many things you can do to prepare yourself for both the program and the application process. Basic things include providing yourself with plenty of adult ICU...

I'm interested in the University of Cinicinnati's CRNA program but I cannot find any info R/T cost. I'd like to apply to multiple programs in Ohio but it is important to me that I know all the facts...

I am going to school in Toledo, OH and while I have a few clinicals left, my job search (just out of curiosity) has turned up disappointing results. ALL of the jobs I've found want experience. I've...
