   JVRB4 replied to JVRB4's topic in New Nurse

   VM85 you did not offend me and I hope I didn't sound as though you did. No my friend is not very active in the church. She does attend on most of the Sundays she is not working and she is in the choir and attends the womens mission group meetings (...

2. Interview In The Morning And Need Help!

   JVRB4 replied to JVRB4's topic in New Nurse

   I should have been more clear to start. A friend from church is an LPN on this unit and I asked if they had any part time positions. I explained to her that I was only interested in part time. She said she would check. Later she came to me and sa...

   Thank you so much to everyone. You have all been a major source of encouragement. I just printed an application for the hospital near me and I spoke with a friend who works there this wk end and apparently someone just turned in their resignation. ...

5. New Grads: How was your day today???

   JVRB4 replied to Misslady113's topic in New Nurse

   "The other new nurses (who only have about 2 weeks of experience on me), seem so confident and do the job with ease, while I feel like I'm struggling just to get all my meds passed in a timely manner! Then, they hired another new nurse two weeks afte...

6. Hungry Nurse or Troublemaker?

   JVRB4 replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

   Where I was working there was only 1 RN on each shift. While I was in orientation my preceptor told me that because she was the only RN (I didn't count due to orientation) she could go to caf and get lunch but had to return to the floor to eat. Thi...

   JVRB4 replied to JVRB4's topic in New Nurse

   Over the past few wks I have spent a lot of time on this site reading all kinds of posts from new grads that are afraid, feel like they didn't learn anything in school or have forgotten every thing already etc. As I have read these I have also spent...

8. New job at rural hospital

   JVRB4 replied to gillytook's topic in New Nurse

   Sounds great! I live in a rural community and though the local hospital is a little lager than what you describe the perks are not as good. I wish you the best of luck in your new career!

9. Maybe I'm not nursing material?

   JVRB4 replied to stewiegriffin's topic in New Nurse

   You described almost exactly how I felt/feel. I graduated in May '08 went to work in Sept '08 and felt like an idiot. Take everything you described and add to that not remembering alot of medications (what they were for, side effects etc) and not k...

    Thank you Celia214 for your prayers. I hope you enjoy Psych and hopefully you will find exactly what you are looking for. Lucky for me my husband makes enough to keep us afloat so I don't have to work right now. I say that's lucky, it is in a way ...

11. Bullying in nursing

    JVRB4 replied to garro's topic in General Nursing

    I am generally very shy and quiet. Don't trust my own judgement in most nursing situations either so I know what it is like to feel intimidated. I am trying to work on my self confidence and my ability to stand up for myself. Amazing how difficult...

    JVRB4 replied to JVRB4's topic in General Nursing

    Never said I didn't have the ability to get angry or to express it on occassion. However that was not anger. Simply stating facts so there is no misinterpretation. As far as this having been asked so many times before, I am sorry to inconvenienc...
