  1. What made you leave bedside?

    AxelNewRN86 replied to angelsigns's topic in Nursing Career

    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...

    AxelNewRN86 replied to ab197's topic in General Nursing

  4. Pregnancy, Graduation, New Job

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

    AxelNewRN86 replied to snickers17's topic in Nursing Career

  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...

  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...

    AxelNewRN86 replied to katebachenberg's topic in First Year After Licensure

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

    AxelNewRN86 replied to michigan94's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  14. 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...

  15. 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...

  16. Hydralazine question

    AxelNewRN86 replied to CLP75's topic in Patient Medications

    AxelNewRN86 replied to MED SURG Hopeful's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Are you looking in the Seattle area? It sounds like you may not have the right experience or no longer considered a new grad for a residency for the larger hospital systems. You may want to try some...

  18. New Grad Nurse Might Lose Job Struggling In Orientation

    AxelNewRN86 replied to Scrubba Dub's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you just were not the right fit there and you will probably be hearing it didn't work out. However, the hospital has spent quite a bit to train you. It doesn't hurt to ask if you may be...

  19. New Grad Application Rejection

    AxelNewRN86 replied to CBerries's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    How long have you been applying? This time of the year when I graduated, it took me 2 months to get a job and I had several years experience of working in healthcare. The market was so infiltrated...

  22. Should I look for another job after 6 months in my SNF?

    AxelNewRN86 replied to 2018nurseandbeyond's topic in Nursing Career
