I guess it does have its benefits... your last sentence cracked me up :D And yes, there are a lot more things to be annoying about but it just bothers me when some patients tell me that they don't...

A little about me: I'm in my mid 20's, 5'1 tall, and petite with a baby-face look. Thanks to genetics, I look short and younger than I am. I don't like it when patients calls me "cute" and tiny,...

Hello to all OR nurses :D I would like to know what kind of professional affiliations can you join as an OR nurse. What is the best for a new nurse with <1 yr experience. Can you recommend some...

yes.. it's very common for new grads to feel this way. Don't give up, always ask questions, and study things that you don't know. Just need some more time to feel more comfortable.

wow what a profound connection you have with the nurse. I enjoyed reading your story =) thanks!

Agree that any experience as a nurse is beneficial. At least it shows that you're not just staying at home doing nothing. I think the fact that you're doing women's health is great b/c it is related...

Hi, I'm willing to relocate to anywhere in NJ. Does anyone know if they're hiring new grads for NICU? Thankss

i guess what the recruiter meant was that i'm not fresh out of school anymore. that wasn't nice to hear. I responded by saying that I'm motivated and I still do retain the material I've learned.......

just letting you know that you are not alone. I'm in the same situation where I thought the unit was welcoming to new grads but it was the total opposite once I start working on the floor. I agree...

Hello Everyone. I really want to work as a NICU nurse and this is the reason why I went to nursing school. I graduated in May 2009 with my bachelor's from a well known program. Unfortunately I have...

I recently heard that they no longer suggest a "packet" to help you study for the pharm test. Is this true? If so, can you recommend how to study for it?

he said he did talk with the director and HR along with his manager and they said this is very common that they will discharge him b/c of their short staffed situation. Had him take a test for...

the union will protect you even if you're on probation?

I heard this from a classmate... tell me what you think b/c it sounds totally bizarre to me. My classmate is a new grad who found a job at medicine/telemetry unit. He only has 5-6 weeks...

if you really do have a problem speaking up for yourself, I guess you can email your manager. I've known several ppl who has done it
