Hey everyone! I would like to vent and seek some advice. Input and words of encouragement to any of the questions is appreciated. I'm been on my own for a little over a month now on a med surg floor on night shift. My anxiety has gotten slightly bett...

@mermer_rn I saw your post before my shift last week, and it made me feel so much better going into work! I'm relieved to know that what I'm experiencing is common. I'll have to look into the stages of nursing. Is that from the concept of Novice to E...

I'll start writing down bits of info to have ready. I realized I need to start doing that after my last shift. During shift change, the day nurse asked for the pt's UOP and the dose for the lasix gtt. I had the rate but not the dose written down. Tha...

Feeling overwhelmed is definitely a factor in regards to my performance and mental state. I do agree that things have already started to become second nature and will only continue from there. I feel better knowing someone recovered from the new gra...

Thank you for your response! It's a relief to know that others are riding the same struggle bus LOL. I have non-medical friends that would ask me how work is, and they just... don't get it. It drives me a little crazy that we need time and experienc...

*takes a deep breath* I agree I am putting too much pressure on myself. I'm very hard on myself which is a blessing and a curse! However, my coworkers are awesome with asking me if I need any assistance and help me walk through things I'm unfamiliar ...

Thanks for the replies! I will keep being kind to myself and that it is OK to not know everything and being able to piece information together to see the big picture will come with experience. @TrishaJ yep, I made my own brain sheet and carry it aro...

I don’t think I’m forgetting things because I’m on night. I still had trouble remembering even on orientation during day shift. Thank you, I am counting the days until I reach my 6 month mark.

Good luck to everyone who has interviews coming up! Does anyone know how long UTSW typically takes before they send out offers?

I believe it went well! They were very nice and made me feel relaxed. This is coming from someone that gets pretty nervous in interviews too. ?

I had my interview for NICU today. I'm not sure how many they're hiring for NICU, but they did say how they're hiring 14 nurses at McLane's.

Thank you so much! I’m a little nervous , but it helps to know what to expect.

I’ll be attending the expo in Temple, TX this Saturday. For those that went to the GN Expo, should I go ahead and bring copies of my resumes and cover letters? I’ve never been to one before!

Thanks so much! You're the best and wishing you the best of luck.

I just scheduled a phone interview. I was wondering if anyone could give me insight on what questions were asked? I’ll be attending the expo in Temple, TX this Saturday the 28th!

I received the interview for OR this morning.

Hi everyone, I would like some insight about my current situation. I graduated in May and have been applying for residencies since April. I recently applied to the most recent round of residency applications with my revised resumes and cover letters....

Has anyone applied and heard back from OR or Mother Baby?

Hi everyone! I just finished my digital interview for Mclane Children's Hospital. I applied Sep 3 and received the invitation the same day. Good luck for those that applied!
