    GOAL2BRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I have been in my current role for the last several years in a clinic. I have felt screwed since I started. I received 2.5 days of training and hit the ground running. Every RN after me has received...

  2. Leave my permanent job for a temp position?

    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...

  3. Peds Clinic RN. A good start?

    GOAL2BRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

  4. Does the Pearson Vue trick work?

    GOAL2BRN replied to vrey86's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You will be able to register for another exam. That is usually a sign that you failed. If you are not able to register then you most likely

  5. New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    GOAL2BRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Looking for some advice from the seasoned nurses out there. I graduated from nursing school with my ADN in 12/19, licensed in IL in 1/20, had our second child in 4/20 and now I have been looking for...

  6. New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    GOAL2BRN replied to GOAL2BRN's topic in General Nursing

    An official offer was made. However, after much consideration I turned it down. Part of me feels crazy for doing so but I don't think there would be much time for me to spend with the kids during the...

  7. New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    GOAL2BRN replied to GOAL2BRN's topic in General Nursing

    I totally see the benefit of those hospital shifts for sure!! And part of me would LOVE it but with my daughter not sleeping through the night all the time yet and a son who still wakes at least once...

  8. New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    GOAL2BRN replied to GOAL2BRN's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  9. New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    GOAL2BRN replied to GOAL2BRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for this. I definitely don't think this is going to be the most ideal or perfect dream job but figured it would be a good place to start since I am having such a hard time landing a gig in a...

  10. New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    GOAL2BRN replied to GOAL2BRN's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  11. 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...

  12. Does the Pearson Vue trick work?

    GOAL2BRN replied to vrey86's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It worked for me and everyone else I know that took it and passed. Good luck! Its really about what makes the most sense even if none of the answers seem to. Look at what they are asking,...

  13. New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    GOAL2BRN replied to GOAL2BRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is good to know and definitely gives me something to think about. In the interview they told me they would definitely make sure I was thoroughly trained and comfortable before sending me off on...

  14. New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    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...

  15. New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    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...

  16. New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    GOAL2BRN replied to GOAL2BRN's topic in General Nursing

    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?!

    GOAL2BRN replied to Penelope the cat, RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thank you so much for the suggestions! I didn't know that I could take pharmacology or physical assessment beforehand. Although I know they mentioned offering both this summer to help us get them out...

    GOAL2BRN posted a topic in General Nursing
