   acceleratednurse replied to Rosie_RN2k22's topic in New Nurse

   I feel you. I've been off orientation for a month and I'm starting to be decent with time management and keeping up with my patients. I'm glad you changed preceptors. I keep hearing, stick it out for 6 months to a year. I know it sounds hard, but try...

2. Changing Specialty

   acceleratednurse replied to MWMRN's topic in Career

   I feel exactly the same way. I've been in my position (neuro PCU) for a little over 3 months. I dread work constantly and my days off a just passing time and dreading going back. I hate it. I'm not new to health care. I was a dialysis tech for 3 year...

   Hi, I don't know long it takes in SC, but if it's any faster than California and money is not a problem for you, that's what I would do. One of my classmates also from California decided to get her license through CA instead of NE and she just g...

7. Getting licensed in a different state and endorsing in California, a timeline.

   acceleratednurse posted a topic in California

   Hi guys, We all know getting licensed in California (CA) takes forever. If you, like me, went to nursing school in a different state and is wondering if it's better to get your license in that state and then endorsing in CA, read this. My exper...
