  1. Clinical instructor interview

    Thank you! I did already have my interview, and a lot of those questions were asked!
  2. Clinical instructor interview

    I have an interview next week for a clinical instructor. Does anyone have any tips? Common questions asked? I know a question about how to deal with difficult students will definitely be asked. TIA!
  3. Misconceptions/truths about specialities

    Peds nurses just play with kids all day!
  4. Age vs Years Nursing

    28 years old, been a nurse for 4 years.
  5. New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

    I agree with what a lot of the others said with regards to doing something non-bedside. Bedside nursing is not for everyone, and that's okay! Nurses are needed in many areas, not only at the bedside. Do what works for you, Ashley!
  6. Passive Aggression is Harmful to Your Health

    Coworkers giving you the silent treatment - would that be considered passive-aggressive? Let's say another nurse gives you report before going on break and asks you to a complete a task (which is not high priority, but has to be done at some point du...

  11. Float staff having a hard time

    Whoa!
  12. Float staff having a hard time

    To be honest, I'm not completely sure if they ask or not. It goes both ways - when you see another nurse very busy on the floor, the polite thing to do would be to ask if he/she needs help and to help them. However, no one is a mind reader. So, if th...
  13. Float staff having a hard time

    They're float pool nurses. I do hear the same complaints as well; it seems to be a common trend in a lot of places.
  14. Float staff having a hard time

    To be more specific, the unit I'm referring to is a pediatric oncology unit. Some of the float nurses have a few years of experience on other pediatric units, but are new to this unit. Some are new grads who previously worked in adults who've since s...
  15. Float staff having a hard time

    Thanks for all your replies! I'm getting the sense that the way things work in the hospital I work at is different from everyone else's. I apologize for not being clear. To clarify, these newer float nurses were doing orientation/buddy shifts. For th...
