  1. last day on the job

    csiln replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    Mind if I ask what your new job is and why you

  2. I dont want to do this anymore!!!

    csiln replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    I lasted 6 weeks in two different hospitals. I, too, found that it was not what I had gone into nursing for. I think the major contributing factor was the lack of support and orientation from the...

  3. Venting about a new CNA...this is really, really long!

    csiln replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a nurse I worked with. I won't go into details, but its depressing to think there are more like her out there. She worked construction before she moved in state and took nursing classes...

  4. DON said mean things about me...which I overheard.

    csiln replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    My last day of work I was around the corner and heard my name and a night nurse talking about me. So mean, I don't see why nurses are so mean to new nurses. Its hard to have a good day after

  5. Preceptors-What's the real deal?

    csiln replied to zahryia's topic in General Nursing

    How awesome mom and nurse!! I gave up nursing a month ago because I'd already had two jobs with a preceptor for only 5 days at each. I may try again when a bigger hospital in the area starts their...

  6. What do experienced nurses expect from new nurses?

    csiln replied to alabama2's topic in General Nursing

    Hate to always be the "Eoyore" but they ate me alive when I asked questions or, heaven forbid, had never done something!! Where are all you nurses that are so supportive to new grads -- I'd live in...

  7. is anyone else stressed out?

    csiln replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    MimisMom, do you think it has to do with age? I'm 55 and I notice several of the other frustrated nurses are in their 50's or late

  8. is anyone else stressed out?

    csiln replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    Graduated 12/05, had two med/surg jobs (6 wks ea.) quit and can't see ever going into nursing. I know my lack of orientation contributed a lot, but now I just with I had never done this. And still...

  9. New Nurse feeling overwhelmed!

    csiln replied to Diva Nurse Dani's topic in General Nursing

    P_RN What made you cry? I worked 4 months on med/surg floors and quit and haven't even tried to find work. It was all about the other nurses. One nurse told me she went home and cried every night and...

  10. Be Careful!

    csiln replied to SNKerri's topic in General Nursing

    The charge nurse on my last day is the "straw" that broke this camel's back! She could see I was struggling with a mentally challenged patient who pulled his colostomy bag off three times and she...

  11. Be Careful!

    csiln replied to SNKerri's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 55 and, I guess, out of touch with the realities of the real nursing world, but it wasn't worth the stress and physical strain. I'm saddened that it hasn't worked out, but am not totaling giving...

  12. Be Careful!

    csiln replied to SNKerri's topic in General Nursing

    I lasted 3 months as a new nurse and when I think about trying again I almost puke. Not only was my orientation only 5 days but the nurses expected me to know everything in 5 weeks. I hated the way...

  13. New Grad to Fully Functioning RN - How long?

    csiln replied to mariedoreen's topic in General Nursing

    I got 5 days with a preceptor and the other nurses were telling me they had as many (none of them were new grads)and that should be sufficient. The nurse manager said the charge nurse would always be...

  14. How to let go of work-home, shiftism, witch hunt

    csiln replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    After reading these posts, I'm not sorry I only lasted 2 months at 2 hospitals and resigned and may never actually get to practice nursing. If nurses with years of experience go through these kinds of...

  15. is anyone else stressed out?

    csiln replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    I've already done my whining and quit nursing (unless the "perfect" job opens up - from heaven:-)). But today I woke up thinking about freshman clinicals and patients telling what a good nurse I would...

  16. Anybody get a job right out of nursing school other than in a hospital?

    csiln posted a topic in General Nursing

    I only recently graduated from nursing school, and only had a job two months in a hospital before realizing this is not what I went into nursing for!! I'm thinking of other options. Anybody else have...

  17. Anybody get a job right out of nursing school other than in a hospital?

    csiln replied to csiln's topic in General Nursing

    I think what really did me in was I started at the VA and there just wasn't time to take care of patients (18) and I started on nights which I've never worked nights and was having a hard time...

  18. I HATE NURSING!! Now what do I do?

    csiln posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was a stay at home mom and then decided to do something "useful" with the years I have remaining - and on a see how it goes basis entered nursing school. (I was 52 at the time). I didn't start...
