   Update: I ended up asking my boss if I could have more orientation time, but it was denied because we're currently short-staffed. But my boss did say that the Nurse Supervisor will be there on my first day and will provide help if I need it. But I ...

3. Sub-acute training ending, advice needed.

   cnisanrnnow replied to cnisanrnnow's topic in Rehabilitation

   I mean I would like more time to learn the patients and apply the stuff I learned in nursing school. For example, some of the patients on the other sub-acute unit have trachs and I've never done trach care or suctioned one in nursing school. So I don...

8. PBI vs Behavioral?

   cnisanrnnow replied to cnisanrnnow's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not so sure. I had an interview with the VA who do PBI-type interviews and they asked questions like that "Was there ever a time you worked with a dysfunctional team. What was the situation and what did you do?" I believe the ER example in your c...

   Just wondering, what's the difference between performance based interview (PBI) questions and behavioral type questions?

10. New grad, hate nursing! Feel like quitting!

    cnisanrnnow replied to harumi22's topic in New Nurse

    I heard from many of my peers that the first year of nursing is always rough. It's a time of adjustment and it can be stressful especially if you are quite introverted. However, I agree with the other comments about just sticking with this job for a ...
