Hey everyone! I am a newer nurse who graduated in December 2018 and started my residency program this February. I work on a tele unit and just don't enjoy it. I dread going to work and feel like this job in general (in addition to working nights and having no life...) has made me feel depressed. I was hoping the longer that I worked here it would get better, but it really hasn't. I feel lost with what to do. I am debating changing jobs and even possibly switching to a completely different specialty. My dream has always been to work with kids so I feel like I should give Peds a try, but I have also been considering OR. I'm also worried nursing just isn't for me, but I hate to give up so soon into my career. I want to start looking for other nursing jobs, but I don't know when I should start my application process and don't really know what I should do job wise. My residency is up mid January. Does anyone else feel the same way about nursing!? ? I would appreciate any input anyone has!!

Yes I just got my email earlier today! My last name starts with an F so just keep waiting y'all!

Thank you! Don't get yourself down, maybe they are sending them in waves or something! After all, they did originally say they were going to tell us after spring break. Keep looking for one :)

I got accepted into the Lubbock campus!! Anyone else hear back yet?

Congratulations! Thats awesome, so happy for you! :)

Awesome! Good, that makes me feel better lol. Thanks for checking! Ggomez131, I bet yours worked since it was a different campus and y'all have already received acceptance emails.

Ok good, glad I'm not the only one. Lol! I might email or call Tech this week and I'll let y'all know what they say.

I tried to do the registration for the background check online but it didn't work. I may have to call Tech I guess. They said by either orientation or the first day of classes, but they said its best to do it as soon as possible to make sure! I'm in intro to nursing online now! Its pretty interesting. Not too hard! I'm taking patho through Tech online this summer too! I'm kind of nervous about that one haha.

Have any of y'all done the background check/fingerprint thing yet?

Wow you heard back quick from Odessa! Thats awesome, congrats!

How cool! I'm actually from Midland, but I go to Dallas Baptist now so I'm up in Dallas :) How about you?

Let me know if you hear anything! I will be coming from Dallas too! What school do you go to? I already have a roommate, but I will keep my ears open and let you know if I hear of anything

Awesome I bet you did great! Did they ask you some of the same questions they asked me? I know right!? Me too! We'll have to keep each other updated

Thank you! Good luck, yes for sure let me know how it goes! Yeah they said we should hear sometime after spring break!

You'll do great! What time is it at? They asked a couple of questions about the calendar thing (I would go ahead and have that filled out before you go) and they asked why I want to be a nurse and a couple of other things. It went by pretty quick! Thats still pretty good! I have a 3.9 and got an 83 overall.
