From the sounds of it you did a great job. You did as much as the time would allow and genuinely were trying to get it all done. That’s all you can do and it’s not right to expect someone to sit around waiting on an x-ray. You were right for leaving and it’s a 24/7 job, she was perfectly capable of finishing those few tasks.

So, I decided to take the home health position. I’m working full time and hoping that in a year my experience and having my BSN will land me a job with Children’s. I didn’t feel that sitting out the next year and just doing school would be as beneficial. So far I’m loving my job now and I guess that’s all I can ask for at this point!

Nurse SMS the hard part with location is that I already live an hour from any sort of healthcare facility. That was sort of my thought too, that some experience would be better than none. Thanks I have tried to talk to my husband about it and he just says to do what I want. What I want is to make the most out of this next year and actually be taking a step closer to my goal rather than just standing still.

I recently graduated nursing school and passed the NCLEX a few weeks ago. Since the beginning of returning to school I have wanted to work in Pediatrics. When I first started there were numerous facilities that had pediatric units that did not require a BSN in the area that I live. Since that time Children's Hospital of Colorado has opened here in Colorado springs and all the other facilities have closed their pediatric units. Children's has a New Nurse Resident program but you must have your BSN which I will not have until this coming Dec. and you can not have any previous RN experience. I would like some advice on whether or not I should consider taking a Pediatric Home Health position as a private duty nurse while I finish my bachelors and apply as an experienced nurse or if I should complete my bachelors and then apply for the new grad program. Any advice is appreciated, cause I feel completely lost and honestly a bit frustrated. Thanks
