1. Multiple preceptors

   stockmanjr replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

   As I mentioned above several preceptors refused or forgot to fill out my daily evals and one even put my binder somewhere that it wasn't supposed to be. It was just a disaster as the floor I was on was sink or swim.

2. Multiple preceptors

   In my case the unit educator had zero involvement. Not quite sure what they actually did on my floor.

3. Multiple preceptors

   stockmanjr replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

   Going to bump this thread with my recent experience. I was in a fancy new grad program and had eight different preceptors in my fourteen shifts in the program. It was a complete disaster as every shift I had to prove myself. To make matters worse hal...

4. New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

   stockmanjr replied to Ashley Karanja's topic in General Nursing

   How did you end up so quickly in MDS? All the jobs I see posted require several years of experience.

6. CHOP 2020?

   stockmanjr replied to DreamQueen's topic in Pennsylvania

   Right but that doesn't clarify how much hours they're actually giving you. I was told I was part-time when I was in fact full-time. PM me if you want to talk more about this.

7. I can’t get past orientation and want to be an aid instead

   stockmanjr replied to Bjessica's topic in General Nursing

   I'm looking for my next opportunity because after my eight weeks of orientation I didn't progress enough and I've been let go. I learned the most valuable thing for me as the bedside especially in mega hospital isn't for me. Going to assess what's ne...

8. Is school nursing stressful?

   stockmanjr replied to blueindigo79's topic in School

   I'm thinking about school nursing as a new grad who did two months in the hospital setting and hated my life. Would school nursing be appropriate for me to think about? In my city they accept new grads and give six weeks of training. Curious at every...

9. I think I'm going to be let go from Orientation :((

   Did you end up getting the position at CHOP? If so curious how it worked out.

    stockmanjr replied to Bjessica's topic in General Nursing

    There's a huge gap in the quality of residency programs. Some are amazing and give you awesome support while other's just change your title to resident and offer little else. I would tread very carefully and really do your due diligence on them.

11. CHOP 2020?

    stockmanjr replied to DreamQueen's topic in Pennsylvania

    How many hours are they offering you? CHOP just changed full-time from 40 to 36. Some of the paperwork might still not reflect this. Orientation is paid.

12. New grad struggle

    stockmanjr replied to stockmanjr's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to do that next shift. Also, I'll be firmer atleast in the first few weeks about making sure we're on the same page with all the information from report. Thanks everyone!

13. New grad struggle

    stockmanjr posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all sorry for another typical new grad post. I'm three shifts into a residency program on a busy peds floor and I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be goal wise. Over my three shifts I've had four different preceptors which includes one shift I had...

14. CHOP New Grad RN Talent Pool 2019

    stockmanjr replied to PedsNurse2019's topic in New Nurse

    I'm going to be on Onco. A bit nervous with all of this. How was your time there? I've been trying to review my skills and learn Onco since we don't do much in school about it. Super excited though to have this opportunity!

15. CHOP 2020?

    NYC is a challenging market at the moment. You have to keep plugging away at it and hope that someone bites. Also, start applying to hospitals within commuting distance of the city.
