    New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    Hoosier_RN replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that you feel that my personal experience is too old for what you're discussing. It doesn't make it any less relevant, as others have mentioned that this is still going on. When I was...

    Hoosier_RN replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    I'm no longer in a hospital, haven't been for years. But yes, there was a coordinator. This particular clinical instructor knew where placements were, but thought she could do whatever she pleased....

    You may have done that, but I, and many on here, can assure you that many more don't. They bring the students and do a dump and run. When I was still an ICU manager, 1 in particular just sent students...

    At the end of the day, some posters on here are mentioning 0 clinical experience, either received in school or viewing the nurse on the floor who got exactly that. We are 12 months into the pandemic,...

    New job. Got injured. Fired for unexcused absences during new hire probation period... what did I do wrong?

    Hoosier_RN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Many have offered plausible sentiments: injury recovered from, not a good fit, etc. Since OP had 5 years at 1 employer and the parting was good, that is a good leg to stand on. Most applications...

    Hoosier_RN replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nurses aren't given the respect in other countries either. Mostly looked at as handmaidens to Dr. My cousin is a nurse in Italy. She gets paid way less. Not the same litigious society, at least. And...

    Hoosier_RN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    I list my nursing jobs as well. On the side things, unless relevant, don't get listed, because most are over 30 years ago. Anyone who doesn't list recent things, throws a big red flag WHEN found out....

    Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    I don't own a TV, and still hear that ignorance in person and have actually seen some on here with that line of thought. It's no good and solves

    I bought one. It pushes the mask out so that I have gaps, can't use it, defeats the purpose of wearing a mask. I hope that you're having better

    Graduating Soon...Specialty???

    Hoosier_RN replied to TiffanyE88's topic in General Nursing

    apply to a dialysis clinic; the work is stable and lots to learn. You get a good orientation as a new nurse as well as you will be trained as a tech prior. This happens whether you are a nurse or not,...
