   Fiducia78 posted a topic in New Nurse

   Last night at work, I finally felt like everything was falling into place. I hit the six month mark, and my confidence is finally rising. I had five patients last night and a fairly easy team. My co-workers had pretty crappy teams and since I had l...

2. Arizona question...

   Fiducia78 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hey all, I am looking to move to the Phoenix area, I am wondering how the pay is? I live in NYC and the pay is really good, but alas there is a high cost of living. I can buy a house or rent a condo in AZ for way less then here in good ol' NYC. How...

3. Am I over reacting?

   Fiducia78 posted a topic in New Nurse

   I have been off orientation for three weeks. I have been so overwhelmed, that I have been crying everytime I have to go to work! My first horrible night included a blood transfusion. The transfusion was ordered at 11am. I came in for the 7p-7a shif...

4. Starting to hate nursing...and only doing it for 3 months!!

   Fiducia78 replied to nursemissy8's topic in New Nurse

   The nurses make a huge difference on each floor. The psych and cdu nurses are by far the nicest and helpful nurses. That is not to say some of the med/surg nurses aren't helpful. I guess the floor in general is just a little frustrating. It's ver...

   Fiducia78 replied to nursemissy8's topic in New Nurse

   I too thought I hated nursing. I realize that it is just I hate where I work. I am a float, just off orientation. The floor I hate floating to is med surg. This floor is just plain brutal. I cry everytime I have to go to that floor. The nurses a...

6. Float Nursing and new grads

   Fiducia78 posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hey all, I finally got a job after six months! I never thought that the day would come. My question for all my fellow RNs is, was it wise to choose to be a float right off the bat? I am scared as it is because I feel like I forgot everything I learn...

   Fiducia78 posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hey all. So my friend went on an interview and she gave me the nurse managers direct fax. I faxed my resume directlt to her, bypassed HR and finally got a call back. I interviewed with her and she said I still had to go to HR. She said she would ...

   Hey AC, I have tried to get a job doing anything. Nothing seems to come to pass. It is easy to forget that I am not alone in this. Hopefully once I get mi liscense in NJ I will get a job. I have applied to nursing homes even though that is not wh...

   So yet again I am here to vent about the fact that I have no job! I am trying so hard to maintain some sanity! I feel like I am never going to get a job. I have applied all over NYC to get a job. NOTHING! I have applied to get my liscense in NJ ...

10. first year... no job...

    Fiducia78 replied to BISN08's topic in New Nurse

    I feel exactly the same way. I want to give up sometimes. It is beyond frustrating. My parents keep pressuring me to get a job and they just do not get it. I really do not want to work in a nursing home, but may have to. I just don't feel like t...

    Fiducia78 replied to BISN08's topic in New Nurse

    I too am completely frustrated in my job search. I passed the NCLEX in July and still have not found a job! I honestly had no clue that it would be this difficult. I guess living in NYC does not help. It seems like you have to know someone to get...
