1. What made you leave bedside?

   AxelNewRN86 replied to angelsigns's topic in Career Support

   I have been a bedside nurse for a year and half. I just started in a speciality and already considering going clinic as soon as my contract is up. I personally am having a hard time mentally. My hospital can balance my schedule as needed which makes ...

2. Can a hospital rescind their offer?

   AxelNewRN86 replied to ab197's topic in General Nursing

   I believe for the reason that you are unable to start on time, yes. I may be wrong. But you don't meet the qualifications without a license.

3. Mom,Wife going back to nursing school at 36

   AxelNewRN86 replied to DjanaO.'s topic in Career Support

   Sounds like most women that were in my nursing class. Most ranged from 25 to 40ish. Don't let your strengths hold you back- go for it!

4. Pregnancy, Graduation, New Job

   AxelNewRN86 replied to Future.Nurse.2020's topic in General Students

   Frankly for your first year of nursing it is your benefit to get a residency. I don'r recommend trying to get pregnant until after securing your first job and getting past your probation period. So hopefully you can get a job right away. Wait a few m...

5. Difficulty Transferring

   AxelNewRN86 replied to snickers17's topic in Career Support

   It is great you called email. But do you know who the managers are for those units? Can you get their emails and just send them an email? Or go in person and just drop off your resume there on those units. I did this when looking for jobs, sometimes ...

6. Miserable New Grad

   AxelNewRN86 replied to PippyM's topic in General Nursing

   I totally get that. I am nights too, and right now I hate it. But I also do not want to work days on my unit. I had a friend that went straight to clinic as an RN. She loves it. It works for family life for her, which is the thing she values most. Al...

7. Miserable New Grad

   AxelNewRN86 replied to PippyM's topic in General Nursing

   I totally get how you feel. I am right there with you. Alot of people feel this way for one reason or another the first year in a job. I feel this way due to working on a floor with a patient population I am not really passionate about and because of...

8. Rural /remote nursing

   AxelNewRN86 replied to caramel79's topic in Washington

   Yes you can apply for the different tribes. Look up washington state tribes. Then go to their websites job postings and see if they have anything. Alot are related to chemical dependency.

9. Seattle Nurse Residency Programs

   AxelNewRN86 replied to katebachenberg's topic in New Nurse

   There are many residencies in the Seattle area, including the ones you named. Also look at Overlake, Providence, Virginia Mason and Seattle Children's. IF you google WSNA you can look at that website for varies contracts of Seattle area hospitals tha...

10. Newer nurse hating cardiac stepdown. Where to go from here?

    AxelNewRN86 replied to michigan94's topic in New Nurse

    As a nurse that had to switch jobs after 5 months, I highly recommend you stick it out for a year. I had to leave a med surg floor due to low hours and needing better income so I could afford childcare. I switched to a med sur/ psych floor. I love my...

11. New Grad Starting Rate w/ Experience

    AxelNewRN86 replied to ARuiz2015's topic in Career Support

    So I have 7 years healthcare experience before I became a nurse. All the hospitals in my area have contracts and none recognize previous experience other than lpns they give .5 years experience for every year worked. So if you worked as an lpn for 2 ...

12. Caught the feels. Needing help.

    AxelNewRN86 replied to FrySrn's topic in General Nursing

    So I do not care for children. But after I had my kids things hit me way harder. Can't watch a lot of shows or movies anymore. Everything is a lot more real as a parent. So from the parent aspect I totally get it.

13. I can’t seem to find a job that I like?

    AxelNewRN86 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated last year too as an RN. Frankly changing jobs this much is not the best thing to do. You are limited in options as a LPN for jobs. My advice is you need to stay with a job while you finish your RN. LTCs are brutal and not the best environ...

14. What state should I move to now the Washington State legislature is trying to force me to work seven days a week? (HB 1155)

    AxelNewRN86 replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    As a washington state nurse, I do not think the ammendment will last. I am actually not worried about it too much since nurses are too outrage to let it just happen. We have good unions at the hospitals here. However that being said I have many cowor...

15. Hydralazine question

    AxelNewRN86 replied to CLP75's topic in Medications

    For a BP med and refusing VS, I would always page the MD. If you learn the MDs at your hospital do not want to address that issue on night shift, then refer to the charge.
