That is correct. I applied to Delray Medical Center and the recruiter was not from Florida; she set up the interview for me, but I decided not to go through with the interview. The corporate offices usually house the recruiters and the in-hospital HR will handle hiring, just not finding the initial candidates. Best of luck!

I am a new graduate with less than 6 months floor experience. Well, I made my first med mistake. PCA programming gone wrong, patient received a ton more morphine than prescribed. I caught mistake, notified MD, monitored patient, did risk event, notified manager. Patient was stable, and if anything, had an enjoyable 2 hours. My question revolves around feeling better when mistakes happen and not getting discouraged. I am an anxious person by nature, worrying about everything that can happen. Now, I worry that somehow I will be sued for the error. I have looked up statute of limitations, etc. This is my personality- to worry, worry, worry- and I have tried different methods to get it under control. I know new nurses feel unsure, and it's a very scary feeling. I am on a difficult PCU floor, from what I have heard from other RNs. In a nutshell, I am looking for advice that this DOES get better. I do not sleep before my shifts, barely sleep after. I also wonder if the floor that I am on/high stress that comes with it is not for me; however, I have very little experience to transfer units. I take accountability for every mistake I have made, hide nothing. Luckily, this patient was okay and there were steps to take if she wasn't. But the feeling of incompetence is driving me crazy! Any advice is appreciated. Thank you all in advance. Sincerely, A struggling new grad
