What is "geo diff"? I see 8% on top of base salary. But does that mean because I have a certain amount of experience (3 years)? Thanks.

This is a problem EVERYWHERE. CNA's feel that they're "too good" to do what they do. What I don't understand is that they're working as a CNA when they don't want to anything a CNA does. I get an...

I'm a brand new nurse, too, and always dreading the fact that one mistake is going to end me. But I'm starting to change my mindset. You can't always be thinking about it that way. Focus on all the...

I think most new nurses get "brain fog" and fatigue. There is just so much to do, and I feel ADHD because I'm bouncing from one task to the other. I feel so overwhelmed that I feel like I don't...

Thank you, everyone. Nurses have told me that it'll be a little easier to prioritize and manage my time when I get more experience. The whole atmosphere is just so brand new. I highlight and color...

Why quit nursing altogether and not just find another nursing job?

HOW do you manage to get everything done during your shift....... with everything that goes on?!

You're not going to find an easier job... all nursing jobs are practically the same... you do the same things (except if you're comparing a nursing home job in which you're caring for 20 patients to...

Once you are hired for a job, then you can bring it up and say, "Hey, I already bought tickets and planned a trip" blah blah blah. But don't bring it up during interviews or anything. I know new...

Thank you SO MUCH for your words. I had a very busy first day. I cried on my way to work (good thing I didn't cry AT work). I got behind in the morning already and had to get help from other nurses....

I'm going to be on my own tomorrow (Saturday) after a 2-month orientation. There are still things I don't know and haven't done completely by myself without someone's help. I feel physically ill just...

I suggest volunteering to add some fluff to your resume. Also, get your nursing school classmates who have a job to give their manager your resume and refer you.

I really appreciate all of the input I've received. Thank you very much. I will take everything into consideration! I actually got a blank sheet of paper and started writing everything that was...

Thanks everybody. And yeah, I just remember room numbers. When someone brings up a patient's name, I'm just blank. Makes me feel more like an idiot. Trying to keep up with all of the things of being...

Yeah, I'm a new nurse. I dread the day I'm by myself. I've even been crying about it. It's so terrifying. And yeah, other nurses write everything on the same sheet of paper they write report on. It's...

Do you ever feel like you don't remember things about your patient and/or you're getting your patients confused with the other patients you have?? I feel like these other nurses know the answers...

I think you should create a POLL to make the results easier to view.

I feel the same as you. I feel so dumb... and I graduated nursing school with honors. Learning how to apply nursing on the actual floor is like a whole other nursing school. Every time patients ask...

Get your nursing classmates who HAVE found a job to help you get a job at their hospital by recommending you.

I wasn't a nurse assistant. I searched for A VERY LONG TIME for a job. I volunteered, I did it all. It turns out... all you really need is someone you know (friend, family member, classmate,...

Thanks so much for your post. I will take everything you said into consideration. I guess I just need to read more positive posts to make myself feel better... but I'm still nervous and anxious. I'm...

Exactly. Overall, I'm scared what it will do to employed nurses. I'm lucky enough to have finally found a job. Now I'm scared that because of the higher taxes, businesses will not be able to...

Thanks so much for your input, everyone. I think it's the constant fear of forgetting to do something crucial that really upsets me... and just plain feeling overwhelmed and not knowing how to do...

I always seems so depressed and terrified the day before I go to work. It comes to the point where I have to go to the restroom just thinking about it because I get so incredibly nervous. I'm still...

I bought myself a tablet and got the Davis Drug Guide application. VERY HELPFUL.
