   patricianyc replied to patricianyc's topic in General Nursing

   Absolutely, Nancy. A big part of my job will be MDS and I have been trained on that in the last couple of days. My replacement has not been gone very long, and I do plan on asking questions and doing my research to improve the currently implemented...

2. Restorative Care Program

   patricianyc posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am a recent grad (August) and was just hired at a LTC facility to take over and improve their Restorative Care program. It is still new, and they are looking for an overhaul. Obviously, since I haven't worked yet I'm a bit surprised they hired me...

   Thanks LongislandLPN! Unfortunately the Dean has the audacity NOT to care - so that's when I called my attorney. Hoping I can get a resolution to this after she speaks with them.

   No - I didn't get that vibe from you.

   I NEVER put anyone from my school as a reference down as a contact.

   patricianyc replied to patricianyc's topic in New Nurse

   Yes, Monkeyduty, that's what I'm looking for. Real perspective on this industry because unfortunately I have not been able to get real experience IN it. I passed all my tests, had good experiences with my clinical rotations, and passed NCLEX on the...

8. School giving me bad reputation...

   patricianyc replied to patricianyc's topic in New Nurse

   I'm a new graduate nurse. I don't understand why the school would say not to hire me; I haven't "worked" yet. I've already called my attorney - and they said it's ridiculous and will be contacting them. They were not on my reference list, so I hav...

   patricianyc replied to patricianyc's topic in New Nurse

   Well the school isn't calling hospitals, I was told that the hospital contacted the school and asked about me. I definitely know what you mean about burning bridges; but when I graduated there had been none of those type situations.

    They were not listed as a reference to call; I have not heard of potential employers calling the school to get a reference before.

    patricianyc replied to patricianyc's topic in New Nurse

    I don't know any specifics; the person that told me obviously wasn't supposed to but she wanted me to know. I called the school and they are denying that they would do that.

12. School giving me bad reputation...

    patricianyc posted a topic in New Nurse

    I recently found out that someone at the school I graduated from is telling recruiters/employers who call them after I interview NOT to hire me. Is this legal? How can they take my money, pass me, but then not stand behind me when I'm trying to get a...

    I am studying for my FINAL final. Graduation is in a week. I have to make a 70 to pass. I did horrible on the cardiac/critical care exam, which put me in a bad position going into the final. I am stressing! I'm studying, trying to review all of t...

    I am supposed to graduate August 4th in the ADN program. I have been planning to go forward with my education. I am 33, with two children, house, husband, etc. This semester has proven to be so hard and I am so burned out. My studying is so ineff...
