  1. I'm in Denver...graduated in May 2010 and started working in September-only because I knew people who got me a job! It's ridiculous here, I have friends who still don't have jobs. If you're willing to drive, I know of a few people who got interview...
  2. New Nurse Needs Advice

    I had an advisor in nursing school (I've only been out since May 10) who told me opportunities will present themselves in nursing. She said it's great to plan that next step, but not to worry about the details. It's hard, because I'm always thinkin...
  3. Chaos and stupidity

    I'm with you. I oriented on an ICU unit for 6 weeks as a new grad, and had to ask for two more. I had my first night solo a few nights ago...I think it went okay, but like you, am constantly worried about missing something. I had a pt who was admi...
  4. Burnt out; thinking of HH

    Funny...I have only been a nurse for 8 weeks and I was thinking...you know, this is really stressful! I started in the ICU, and now I'm thinking home health would have been a nice option. Obviously it has its own stresses, but I understand to some ...
  5. New Grad Jitters

    My preceptor has informed me I need to quit asking so many questions...(I really don't think I ask too many, just ask for clarification and reassurance if I'm not 100% sure of something I'm going to do...).
  6. New Grad Jitters

    I'm with you. I feel the same way. I work nights, and recently discovered the earlier I get up before my shift, the worse it is. If I wake up and have to wait 4 hours before my shift, I can't do anything first because I spend the whole four hours ...
  7. What are the chances of getting a job?

    As a BSN New Grad (May 2010) from Denver, I can tell everyone the job market is tough! Most of my friends from nursing school do not have jobs yet. Many of those who do have relocated to other states. Any others who have jobs have them only becaus...
  8. Management of Marijuana Withdrawal

    Seriously, you have to write about withdrawl? There are no actual withdrawl symptoms. If I HAD to write about this topic, I would probably go in the direction of anxiety. Those who are used to being stoned all the time and suddenly stop being ston...
  9. Thanks so much for all of your replies! I go tomorrow to be fitted for my hearing aids. It's nice to know there are people out there with the same difficulties. I have been able to get by okay, but am starting to feel embarrassed by the amount of ...
  10. Depression & Nursing

    Sorry to hear about your struggles with your nursing instructors. Along with the advice given in the above response, I think it's important you know all nursing students experience to some level your struggles. Of course, your's might be to a great...
  11. Hi all, I have searched older posts, and searched the internet, but find very little information about nurses (or nursing students) who wear hearing aids. I am about to get my first set. I have mixed feelings about them...I was wondering if anyone ...
  12. When paying back loans for getting BSN degree

    I'll have about $80,000 out when I graduate. This is more than many students in my class, but there are a few who have close to the same amount out. My plan is to live the same way I have been living (like a college student...eating and living simp...
  13. Nursing school or OT, and mom of young kids: doable?

    Just wanted to let you know I am in nursing school right now with others who have children. One of the women is in her mid to late thirties, a single mom, and has four kids ages 4-9! Another woman is married with 4 kids, one who has a serious chron...
