  1. Changing to a different department

    EDNURSE20 replied to Juls83's topic in General Nursing

    Just apply for jobs. You have experience as an RN, just highlight how that experience will help you in the ER. Most jobs want experienced nurses, but often people are flexible as long as your not a...

  2. Torn between jobs

    EDNURSE20 replied to Vmurill1's topic in General Nursing

    Hospital first. You will get more support. A nurse specialist role for a new grad is a horrible idea. How do they expect a new grad to be able to function in this

  3. Meeting With the Manager

    EDNURSE20 replied to MJ48's topic in General Nursing

    Ive had a few bad meetings with my manager lately. It's awful. But I don't think this is your situation. No one would be so heartless to give you bad feedback half way threw a shift. If it was really...

  4. Mom Wants Me to Become an RN as Backup... But I Don't

    EDNURSE20 replied to RyanThePianist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is stupid. You're 22, you can make your own decisions. Do what you want, not what you're parents want. The end of the day your young enough to take risk and follow your passions. This is the only...

    EDNURSE20 replied to Sweetie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    EDNURSE20 replied to ButterflyRN90's topic in General Nursing

  7. Peer to Peer Review/Feedback

    EDNURSE20 replied to blc00's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. This sounds awful. If someone has an issue with another rn it should be addressed straight away. Where things can be openly discussed and sorted. There's always two sides of the story and...

  8. job offer but not until December

    EDNURSE20 replied to direw0lf's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you decided to wait, make sure you've signed a contract that states your start date. Otherwise they may change things, and you may be left with nothing. If it's a guaranteed job, I say wait. Better...

  9. Malicious "pimping" in nursing / nurse practitioner school?

    EDNURSE20 replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in General Nursing

  10. Fickle DNR question

    EDNURSE20 replied to Lohen90's topic in General Nursing

  12. Would you go to another career fair if you already accepted an offer somewhere else?

    EDNURSE20 replied to Bunsbuns's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Stay where you are. You were happy enough to accept the job in the first place. At this point you have no idea what it's like to work in either place. Your job may turn out to be perfect or...

  13. Fainted while watching blood being drawn... Advice for nursing student?

    EDNURSE20 replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

    Needles, blood, wounds, watching surgery and all that sort of stuff never bothered me one bit. I even watch them taking blood from myself when I have to have a blood test. But when it comes to poo I...

    EDNURSE20 replied to newgradnurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    I work in NZ. We have only RN on the floor too. Day shift is 4-6 pt, normally 5. And night shift 12-15. And we do everything, feeding, bathing, tolieting ect. It's tough! But you get used to it. Time...

  15. Reasonable time frame for prn medication to be given?

    EDNURSE20 replied to nicegirl2's topic in General Nursing

    EDNURSE20 replied to Grengemly's topic in General Nursing

    You still have plenty of time. You've only just started working, there's no reason why you need to rush this desicion. Get some experience for now. In a year or two you might be wanting to go for your...

  18. New Grad Resume

    EDNURSE20 replied to nurse_jnicole's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Agree with the first poster. As a new grad I put on my jobs, but didn't wrote much about them as they where in retail. Looked good though that I worked threw nursing school and could hold down a job....

  19. Leaving tasks for the next shift

    EDNURSE20 replied to dergs's topic in General Nursing

    There's no reason why you can't leave things for the next shift, some times it happens. Either you can't do it like in this case, or you simply ran out of time. If it's urgent and needs to be done...

    EDNURSE20 replied to brindlenurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Agree. Don't take either job. You are so close to a year now, just wait it out and apply for jobs that are more suited to you. Take some leave if possible too. A good break always

  23. I Desperately Want Out

    EDNURSE20 replied to toxiktraktor's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree. Try different areas first. But the main thing is not to make any fast decisions. Stay where you are till you know what you want. If that's another nursing job then wait till you have one to...
