   I started in April 2020 and have switched jobs 4 times. 3 within my own hospital system. I tried neuro/tele, trauma/surgical/neuro ICU, and now I'm in ER. I worked way too hard to switch careers to just be miserable in nursing. Every unit has it posi...

   Nurselives4coffee replied to Tiffanye004's topic in Career Support

   Hey I did an ABSN and my degree is exactly the same. I did my program in CA, so finding a job as a new grad was already very difficult, regardless where I went to school. What I found made the most difference was where you did your clinicals. The stu...

   Thank you for your response! Reminding myself that I have no control over the future and growth in this field comes from being uncomfortable. I'm hoping I will get along better with the ER staff as I do not have the ICU personality. Thanks again!

    Ok awesome info thanks! Just to be clear, I will still be required to take the science parts on the hesi just won't be counted or do I only take math, English, reading sections?
