   GOAL2BRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am a recent career change grad and I have been working my first RN gig at a pediatrics clinic about an hour away from my house 2 days a week for the last 7 months. I'm not in love with it and quite...

   I posted here a few weeks ago about the possibility of taking a FT float pool RN position within a hospital clinic. I decided to pass on that due to many reasons but since then the manager has...

   Thank you for your input! I don't mind bedside but I am trying to be open and think outside of the hospital box. I also know that I don't have to do this forever. I'm sure any experience is valuable...

   They told me they would start me off with 2 and gradually work me up to more as I got more comfortable. I believe they have upwards of 30 but I am not necessarily sure I would be covering for all of...

10. S/O failed the NCLEX at 60 questions.

    GOAL2BRN replied to Deyndrael's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is SO stressful! It probably made it even worse for her to be out of school for that length of time and unable to take the test sooner. First off, good sleep and eating are a must! Second, the good...

    GOAL2BRN replied to GOAL2BRN's topic in General Nursing

    That was a great read and very interesting! I feel like there is so much pressure for new grads to get that hospital job or you aren't really doing nursing. At least that is how our school sold it to...

    GOAL2BRN replied to GOAL2BRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for this! This is exactly what I am struggling with. We had kids later in life so I want to enjoy them while I can. It is such a small window of time that you get to spend with them before they...

    Thank you for this response! I feel like yes, there is a lot to learn and I am eager to do it. The schedule also seems great but then again don't most jobs before you get into the thick of them?!
