I am being advised that when I graduate I can walk right into a RN position. Why am I seeing that I may have to hound or beg :bow: the HR for a position? I feel that the more you jump, hoot and holler in HR face, the more they laugh and get their thrills of saying "nothing yet, sorry". Maybe NM should be taken out of the picture all together. Why can't the director of nursing do all the hiring like in the old days. To me it is crazy to believe that I will have to beg for a RN position. Am I being ignorant about some fact here in nursing?

If this is so, then I will have a professional do my resume, betcha dollar bottom I will. Now, I am scared of paying all this money for a degree and possibly may have to look at begging for a job. No way not me!!!!!:down: Thumbs down on that.

Wow! The attitude in this thread is sadly shocking.

IMO, with an attitude like this, it will be very hard to find or keep a job. In nursing, the learning never stops, it doesn't matter how many years of experience you have or what degree you hold. There will be many times that you will learn from other's that have less experience than you.

Oh. My. God.

Wow.

Tell me one thing that I can expect not to know when I start my first day as a new graduate nurse?

The above quote sums it up for me. The fact that you, LexSTUDENT, cannot see the utter ignorance of this sentence is all that need be said.

I can see I wasted my breath earlier. You will not listen because you already know it all. Congrats. And I dearly hope no one I care about comes into your assignment.

Quote from OP "Tell me one thing that I can expect not to know when I start my first day as a new graduate nurse?"

There will be alot you will not know, trust me. And you will find a lot of two year degree nurses that will know alot more than you; be thankful that they are there, because it may be one of these two year degree people that may save your **** one day.

Good luck and come back to this thread after you've worked about a year or two. I'm sure you'll be eating some humble pie, that is, if you can swim.

Wait, one more thought: maybe this is a troll, a joke thread? Someone who gets some weird kind of kick out of riling up actual nurses...maybe a nursing student who got kicked out of the program (and blames everyone else because it was "for no good reason")?

I'm having a hard time believing this is someone who is approaching graduation. I think my PhD former nursing instructors would agree ;)

He or she won't, the embarrassment would be too great. And I'd be willing to bet money that the job he or she starts (the one the sister hired him/her for?) won't be the one still in action two or even one year later.

Honestly, all joking aside, the quote we BOTH quoted shows a very VERY dangerous nurse-to-be. Not funny, actually dangerous.

RNsRWe,

I was wondering the same thing. How can anybody, that is about to graduate from a nursing program, have such thoughts as these? Very strange indeed.

How many medical errors have you made in you nursing profession? Tell us all that.

How many time have you called off from work sick and it was a lie, and knowing you were creating a hardship on your fellow nurses, and there were people who needed you.

How many time have you lied on a nurse report?

Did you score 100% in your medication calculations? I do all the time. Do you?

No, of course you don't, and that leads to nurses making med errors, FACT!!!

I don't even get the point of this. At all.

Back to regularly scheduled programming (and I'm pretty sure I spelled all of that correctly, LOL!).

How do the quotes work? When I click on the quote, it just turns orange with a - sign. Thank you.

I have two classmates in outer 'realms' like this. It's possible.

I am in a 4 yr nursing program presently but once considered the ADN program. I just want to say that it is time for the board of nursing or whoever makes the decision to make some changes. Its not a 2-yr nursing program, I believe u need some prereqs even b4 application. It takes about 3yrs to get an ADN in nursing. Why is it still called a 2yr program? Its annoying sometimes!!!

You did waste your breath earlier, sadly. I wish I had time to address everything in this post, because I honestly thought it might be a troll too, because I don't want to think that anyone is naturally this arrogant and inflammatory...but I'm probably wrong.

What else I'd really like to see is a response from this soon-to-be nurse's instructors. I'd LOVE to hear what they think about this attitude.
