I understand your anguish! I've been off orientation for 6 weeks and some days are horrible and leave me feeling like I wish I was still in school? Thank you for posting this question; reading all these comments has made me feel better. Exercise ha...
I'm a new nurse. I started out on days on my stroke unit. It's really busy and often short staffed during my day shift. The nurses help eachother as much as they can. I think the big thing is, are you a day person or a night person? I am totally ...
We wear those crappy surgical masks at work. When I work 2-3 days in a row, I cough alot when I first get up then usually feel better. Recently, the hospital switched to lower quality surgical masks and today my lungs and throat hurt. I can't tell...
Navelyn- I took a position in a neuro unit and also got a day shift?. All the questions were behavioral- what would you do if: you had a difficult patient, why are you a good candidate, whats your personality, tell me how you treat others. Also, it...
As a new grad nurse who just worked my first 4 shifts on the floor with my preceptor, I completely agree. My clinicals did not provide sufficient experience and my school does not have the capstone at the end where you are one on on with a hospital ...

What's the best way to find objective information about a hospital before an interview? Right now, I'm looking at the Medicare.gov hospital compare and Google topics. I have an interview for a local hospital that I don't know alot about. Thank you...
Thank you for your responses. This will be my first interview and it is in a covid only hospital. I'm assuming they are hiring more nurses to eventually reopen as a fullfledged hospital based on the variety of positions they have posted.
I just graduated from nursing school, taking the NCLEX 6/5/2020. I have an interview at a COVID only hospital. I'm having second thoughts- would this be a bad place for a new nurse to start?
Be glad that your school has a plan!! We are still waiting for answers from ours. They’ve switched to on Lin classes, but still have to get the secure testing for us to do tests from home. They said they are working on a replacement for clinicals to...
I'm in my last semester at a community college associates program. They have great NCLEX passing rates, but I can tell you that most of the students in my class feel like we are lacking in clinical skills and that our clinical rotations have been li...
I'm in level 3 of an associate RN program. All semester I have been doing poorly on my tests in school, but I've gotten the full points on all the HESI tests. Is this weird? I feel like there's something wrong with the tests that the teachers are m...
