  2. New grad - possible to start in dialysis?

    I think if you really want to do renal nursing you will be just fine! I got 2 years med/surg experience before going in to Dialysis. M/S experience helped a lot, but I think it is possible to do well as a new grad. I am about 10 months in to dial...
  3. MY FEET HURT Shoe question

  4. Med Error

    Starcandy, do NOT beat yourself up. I was in the same situation as you once. I think I was three weeks into orientation on night shift, staffing was very bad that week, and I was given my own patient assignment without a preceptor. It was a rough n...

  8. Med-Surg Roll Call

    I'm a new-grad med-surg nurse. I've been working an a med-surg floor for about 6 months now. It is very challenging! At first I was kind of reluctant to accept this position because I really wanted OB. But I now realize that med-surg is where I w...
  9. Interested in OB

    Hey guys, Thanks so much for the replies and support! I have since passed the NCLEX with flying colors (but I thought differently while walking out of the testing center!). I recently applied at a local hospital for a new grad position in OB. Cros...

    Hello! I'm new here. I recently graduated from nursing school and will be taking my NCLEX-RN in ten days. Pending my passing, I am very interested in OB. How did you OB nurses get into OB? I'm wondering how many of you went straight in, and how ...
