  1. I feel dumb as a rock in comparison to my classmates

    If you're a hands on learner, nursing school will make you feel like this. I know when I was in nursing school, I mostly was only allowed to watch everything at clinicals and was only occasionally allowed to do skills. Once I started my first job, I ...
  2. Master's Degree

    Hi, I have been a nurse with a BSN for about 8 months now. I've always know that one day I wanted to go back to school to get my Master's Degree, and I've been thinking about it a lot lately. I want to hopefully start in Fall 2021 or maybe 2022. I am...
  3. Orientation As A Semi-Experienced Nurse is Aggravating

    I definitely see what you mean. I know I have a ton more to learn, especially with this being a completely different hospital with a different way of doing things. I just meant that it's a strange adjustment to go from caring for all my own patients ...

  5. I worked for almost a year at my first nursing job. I changed jobs and went to a new hospital after that. I started orientation three weeks ago, and I have to admit it's kind of frustrating. I'm used to taking my own patients and working on my o...

  7. Progressive Care Unit

    I have to go next Wednesday to turn in all my paperwork to HR, so I'll definitely ask about it then! The first time I went to do my drug test and get my paperwork, I didn't want to ask for a tour of the unit because I figured they would want to limit...
  8. Progressive Care Unit

    I will soon be starting a new job on a progressive care unit, and I am very excited! I know that progressive care is patients who are not quite sick enough for the ICU but too sick for med/surg. Other than that, I don't know too much more about it. L...
  9. Please Tell Me I'm Not Alone

    I have tried everything. I have applied for a transfer within my hospital. I have applied at every hospital within an hour of me. I have had several interviews and it's always "We were impressed with you, but we aren't offering you a position." I eve...
  10. Going to Lose My Mind This Weekend

    You're right. I know things are crazy because of COVID, and I'm doing my best to be patient. Patience and waiting are so hard when it's my dream! LOL I plan to follow up with the recruiter next Friday if I haven't heard anything by then.
  11. Going to Lose My Mind This Weekend

    I had a phone interview for my dream job Wednesday. It lasted a really long time, and the hiring manager told me all about the unit, orientation, and just the overall job. It just felt like a relaxed, casual conversation. When I asked at the end, I w...
  12. Applying for Jobs During COVID 19

    There haven't been enough patients on my floor to get enough hours since COVID 19 started, so I applied for a transfer within my hospital and also applied for jobs at several other hospitals. I am worried that COVID is going to stop me from finding a...
  13. COVID-19 and Nursing Ethics

    I'm having the same dilemma as many of you. My parents both have respiratory issues (COPD and aspergillosis). My grandparents, who I help take care of, are obviously elderly and more susceptible to this virus. I'm also have many health problems (hear...
  14. I Have No Words

    Yeah I get what you're saying. I just didn't even realize the other night shift nurse was even attempting the IV on my patient until the charge nurse called me out because no one had told me.
  15. I Have No Words

    I had a pt. who kept pulling out IV's and needed one at shift change. I attempted twice but wasn't successful. I was always taught you only attempt twice and then you get someone else to try because it's not fair to the patient. Pt. was begging me to...
