1. Nurse Managers: Do you answer your phone on your days off even when not on call?

   GraduateRN2016 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

   This is ridiculous. It’s your day off so why would you worry what others might think. Your working hours are out of this world. Are you new in this role? Is lack of experience your reason for working those long hours? So many questions need to be ans...

   GraduateRN2016 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, You should know you’re not alone as a new grad. I experienced the same thing as a new grad. I would get to work an entire hour before start time due to being nervous and anxious. The seasoned nurses would make fun of me but I didn’t care. G...

3. Spouse of nurse

   GraduateRN2016 replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

   I’m surprised about that being an issue now that you’re making more money than your spouse. It shouldn’t be MY money and HIS money. Combine the income and work with that and if needed, you both could look into getting some hours elsewhere. My spouse ...

5. Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

   GraduateRN2016 replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

   This is a forum for opinion, if you didn't want one, then why make a post. I agree nursing can seem tough but there are many options hang in there or just find something that will be rewarding to you.

7. "Mature" graduates finding employment

   GraduateRN2016 replied to zbb13's topic in Job Hunt

   Can't believe your mother could say that. That's shallow minded if anything she should be congratulating older people for going back to school. No one can take another persons' job. If they like you and God wants you there it will be yours. I graduat...

    Thank you! I worked in pediatric oncology for 5 months and resigned. Now I'm considering LTC care. I love the geriatric population and interviewing today for RN supervisor position. Thanks for this post it makes me feel a lot better.

    GraduateRN2016 replied to arojumper's topic in Career Support

    If it's too much for you, just quit and get your degree because in the long run it will pay off. I worked as a CMA for 5 years and had to resign to finish school. The same company rehired me. My first RN job. If they think you're a good worker they'...
