My favourite brand right along side Greys right now. They're more fitted than regular scrubs. Pricey so I always wait for sales to order. They give you 25% your first order. I'm always shopping their now. I love them and Grey's A.

I'm a foreign trained nurse as well. When I started working in the USA I was allowed to site IVs. Persons are happy to let you do them so get as much in as you can. Ask your charge nurses to let you know when there are any blood draws or peripheral iv to be sited. I didn't need any certification.

You should try Alaska. They don't have a lot of applicants and things get done very quickly. My process was pretty smooth.

I would and have. It doesn't hurt. Better yet, call them or go in to speak with someone. That's what I did. I got the job.

I used to worry about harming people too. Hardly do now thankfully. Once I'm on the job the fear goes for me.

Paediatrics is scarier to me. I did peds for a year. It wasn't as scary as I imagined it would be. One of my biggest fear is looking incompetent in front of my coworkers, especially ones who ear their young. All the best :-))

Always thinking of ways to make extra money as well. I'm all over the place though. I'll think of an idea and want to jump on it immediately afraid "someone else might do it before me"

My fear is pretty similar. I'm afraid of looking foolish. Everyone makes mistakes but it doesn't away the feeling of being incompetent sometimes. I've applied for an OR fellowship and worried I'll mess up. I know I can do it and I'll do well eventually. I just dislike the baby phase. Thank you all for sharing.

Thank you. Not homework. Haha. I've been an RN for 5 years and my biggest fear has always been making mistakes so whenever I do I'm hard on myself. I'm new to a country, field and job. Making mistakes. Had a good cry one day and wondered how many others feel the same at anytime.

I'm dying!! Hahahahaha!!

Nurses. What were your fears as a new nurse? A new nurse just starting your first job? A new nurse in a different department? A new nurse in a different country? A new nurse going from LPN/EAN to RN? A new nurse going from RN-BSN?

The ratio is 1:4, 1:5 the most except on the ortho unit where it's 1:6 at Providence. At the extended are its 1:12 but it's pretty relaxed and they run 8 hour shifts. The transitional care is 1:12 as well and ace both 8 and 12 hour shifts. I don't know about the other hospitals here.

Congratulations. I just passed mine in November. I used Saunders as well, along with Simple Nursing YouTube channel.

It depends on the country. Most likely she will RN, BSN. I'm from Jamaica and I had to go through CGFNS who decided if my course met all qualifications. I have a friend from Germany who was required to do extra courses however she was a pediatric nurse and I thought her specialization affected her outcome but a nurse I worked with back home in Jamaican is a cardiac nurse and she had no problem.
