   Thank you. I'm a worrier for sure and have a hard time letting go of that anxiety

   Thank you. I guess I worry because I would be responsible regardless of what the pharmacy does. I do struggle with a lot of anxiety and it's been spilling over into work

   em3120 posted a topic in Safety

   This happened months ago but it still bothers me......I was passing meds and the Pyxis called for 8 tablets of x med, I had never heard of the med (I'm in psych and this was a non-psych med) so I googled it and it was a high but normal dose, I scanne...

4. Emotionally drained

   em3120 replied to em3120's topic in General Nursing

   I work 36 hours per week and occasionally work OT. I have not taken PTO in at least a year because I've had to take off work for health reasons that didn't count at short term disability. This is my first job out of school but I know I have a passio...

5. Emotionally drained

   em3120 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've worked at an inpatient peds psych facility for the last 3 years and I want to preface saying I LOVE working with the kids and my coworkers. However, I've been feeling burnout emotionally. I tried talking to my nurse manager but she always has ...

6. Favorite site for CEU's

   em3120 posted a topic in General Nursing

   What's your favorite site for acquiring CEU's? Everything I'm looking at seems expensive. I'm willing to pay for a membership but I want it to be from a legit website.

7. Nursing after attempting suicide

   em3120 posted a topic in Recovery

   Last November I tried to end my own life. In December I was contacted by the Virginia BON that I had been assigned a case number. I'm assuming that somehow my treatment team reported me. I was then in contact with my investigator in January and di...

8. Accept this job or wait to hear from other?

   em3120 replied to em3120's topic in General Nursing

   I think I'm going with the new grad position. It seems to be a better fit since I'm transitioning into this role as a new nurse! I kind of wish I could start working sooner but I know I need to focus on passing NCLEX too. Plus I know the additiona...

9. Accept this job or wait to hear from other?

   em3120 replied to em3120's topic in General Nursing

   I'm crossing my fingers that they will respond tomorrow but I have doubts that they will so quickly. This is all great advice, thank you!

10. Accept this job or wait to hear from other?

    em3120 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, so I'm about to graduate in 2 weeks and I had an interview for a general adult psych RN position on 4/7. HR called me yesterday to offer me the job OR to offer me a position in the new grad psych residency program. Everything is basically t...

11. Not getting interviews :(

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in Job Hunt

    Thanks to both of you!! It's hard not to get down when you haven't heard back from anyone and other people are accepting offers. I'm applying to more positions and trying to keep my hopes up that something will work out as I get closer to graduatin...

12. Not getting interviews :(

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in Job Hunt

    Yes all of them have BSN preferred but willing to hire ADN. I'm actually in VA! I'm not too sure I want to do med-surg. I'm much more interested in psych but I suppose I will look more at med-surg if that is all that is available.

13. Not getting interviews :(

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in Job Hunt

    I've applied to 2 positions in new nurse grad programs for NICU and psych. Then I applied to 3 positions (2 psych jobs, 1 peds) that said they were new grad friendly. I'm running into the issue of either needing a bachelors or experience.

14. Not getting interviews :(

    em3120 posted a topic in Job Hunt

    I'm preparing to graduate in May and some of my peers have already accepted job offers pending graduation/passing NCLEX. I put in applications about 10 days ago to 7 positions but haven't heard anything back. They all say "in review" or "pending". ...

15. Nurse admin as new grad

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in Career Support

    They offer so many new grad programs though! I'm not interested in med-surg but I thought an admin job might be cool. I applied to their peds and nicu programs but haven't heard back yet
