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.

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

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...

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

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.

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...

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...

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

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.

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.

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...

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!

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!

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.

They're disorganized so I wouldn't take it as a no....

I'm starting at a large acute care peds hospital in a few weeks. I've been out of school for about 7 months now and when I went to practice my physical assessment skills I was rubbish at them. The problem is especially on Peds at my school we didn't ...

Hi all, I've been holding back on this post for awhile, but figured I might as well finally do it. I'm a late June graduate of a nursing school in NYC. I've been hunting since August for a job and only have gotten one interview for a job which turned...

No one has said that to me. Hospitals that do that are usually pretty clear about it.

CHOP's IT has been a mess. I was offered a position and signed and offer letter yet somehow that was replaced by a new strange offer letter. They had to fix it, but yeah expect some IT snafus.

First take a look at the application. You'll need to follow the instructions for a background check and the online NJ licence verification. You'll also have to complete a CE on Child Abuse online. If you already had a job lined up you can fairly quic...

That's the way I try to live my life. I realize how little I know and how much I need to learn.

This post hits home for me as I'm starting a new job at a big name hospital that recently on Glassdoor has several new grads saying that you either get it in 2-3 weeks or you're sent packing. I'm moving for this job so it makes me very nervous. Any t...

So I'm scheduled to start in February. Can anyone comment on how the residency program actually is? Reading some reviews on Glassdoor and they sound pretty worrisome.

Do you believe most LTCs would spend money on software like that?
