  1. Love school nursing, but can't pay my bills.

    What about working in an infusion/hydration center? There are some nurses that do that part time and make decent money (although I'm not sure how much exactly).
  2. Leaving New Job after only 4 months

    You should speak to your manager first before applying for a transfer. He/she may be able to work with you. Just be honest, and you can come across respectfully, and just say you want what is best for the unit and that you just may not be who they ne...
  3. Hi all. It's been a while. A little background: I have been at the same facility for a couple of years and am involved in Unit Council/Shared Governance. I just took over the Chair position for my hospital for Shared Governance, and it is a big respo...

    I'm going to jump in, too! lol I have a year of experience on a Cardiac PCU and my boyfriend is an engineer. We are looking to move to Seattle/Bellevue area in 6 months or so. Is it difficult to find a job? Also, what hospitals are considered 'good'...
  5. Moving to Seattle/surrounding area

    Hi! I am going to be moving to Seattle/Bellevue from Florida in the beginning of next year. What are the best hospitals to strive for? Right now I'm on a cardiac PCU and would love anything cardiac! I'm also looking to go back to school. Are there an...
  6. How do you deal with Doctors that insult nurses?

    All of the above advice is great. Also remember that they are people, just like you and me, and they had to build their career from knowing nada just like us. They are not God! Plus, if you don't call and report those values, it's your a**, not their...
  7. Peer Mentor Program

    A get together would be a great way to get everyone to casually get to know one another and be comfortable around each other! Maybe the assigning of mentors can happen then so that they can meet in a laid back environment. Pairing a nurse with a ment...
  8. The benefits of MBA with BSN

    I am wondering if getting my MBA, MSN or DNP is worth it for me right now, but I just can't stand bedside nursing anymore! Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I graduated last year with my ASN and more recently with my BSN in December. I hav...
  9. I want to go back to school?!

    Rose_Queen, I entered a new grad program at a hospital and had to sign a 2 year contract. I know some of it has to do with where I work, but I also dislike a lot of the extra dirty work (a lot of my patients are total cares) due to the lack of suppor...

    Hi all! I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I am trying to decide different routes to go with nursing. I am currently in bedside nursing, with only about 3 months experience. I realized that I need to get much more experience before I move positio...
  11. Okay, so I just need to get a few things off of my chest. I will tell you that I am a new nurse (still with a preceptor), and I feel absolutely exhausted. I was yelled at by a doctor for the first time today for something that happened yesterday and ...
  12. Yes, I went through the program. It's really beneficial for a new grad. You can PM me if you have any questions.
  13. new grad: cant find a job

    I was having the exact same problem. I had to branch out and apply up to an hour away. Do you have your BSN? I live in Jacksonville and couldn't find a job close to me because I won't have my BSN until December. Your best options are to apply to the ...
  14. Many new nurses are graduating and starting their first nursing jobs (as am I). I am curious as to what you wish you would have known as a novice nurse (regarding organization, stress, communication...anything at all). If you have any advice for all ...
  15. Mayo Clinic

    Mayo Clinic has the ability to be very picky because they are so popular. They usually will not hire you unless you apply to their Graduate Nurse Position. They can get anywhere from 250
