hello, I new Med/Surg RN joined

wow, sorry for your troubles. when i applied for my job a few months ago, the nurse manager actually told me she liked hiring males (maybe I got lucky) but she obvioulsy liked me as she gave me the opportunity. I would think you should be able to land a job soon. Good Luck!!

Just wanted to drop a thread in the male nurse forum telling you all that I am actually "starting" my new job tomorrow. (I have been going over policy after policy for 4 days now). A little background for those interested. I am a recent graduate (May 06) and took my boards in July, passed with 75 questions (thank God) and applied for a Med/Surg job in Aug. Was offered the position Aug 18, and had orientation Sep 18, sure was a long time from the interview till now. But, I finally get to make my presence on the floor now, excited and scared (of the unknowing) Everyone has told me that I may not feel comfortable at my new position for 1/2 or longer, I hope I can feel comfortable right away. I know there is still a big knowledge gap between a new nurse and an expirienced nurse, but with resources (and nice coworkers) I don't think that knowledge gap will be that big. Anyways, any advice for the first few days of "actual" work....maybe even some preceptor advice so we hit it off on the right foot right away. Thanks, nelsRN
