  1. As a new grad, expect to stay late?

    beachbum3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Maybe a dumb question here: I start my first RN job on Monday and am wondering, is it to be expected that I'll get off on time or will staying over be a fairly frequent occurrence (not to cover for...

  2. Considering Nursing as a career

    beachbum3 replied to travellvr's topic in General Nursing

    I think all kinds of personalities are a good fit for nursing, and if its what you want then go for it! I am not one who has had a family medical experience that made me want to be a nurse. I couldn't...

  3. Diluting IV push

    beachbum3 replied to RN2B07's topic in General Nursing

    Not that this counts for real world, but in school they had us clamp the IVF, then push, then unclamp. They also never had us dilute anything, unless it was ordered to be diluted. So I'm thinking its...

  4. Intimidated...

    beachbum3 replied to beachbum3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks all! I'm feeling better... the panicky feelings come and go. I'm back to being excited, which feels much better! When I'm not having a complete freak out I actually have some confidence, still...

  5. As a new grad, expect to stay late?

    beachbum3 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies. Just wanting to clarify- I meant after I was off orientation for staying late, and I was just asking because I've heard conflicting things- people saying they rarely get...

  6. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

    beachbum3 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you!!! I start as a new grad on Monday and I am SCARED TO DEATH. I was starting to feel like there is something wrong with me for feeling this way and feeling like I don't know a thing! Glad to...

  7. As a new grad, expect to stay late?

    beachbum3 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply! Another question: do you get paid for the hours you stay

  8. People who flat out lie to get you fired

    beachbum3 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Again? I offered advice to you before when you were having issues at your last job (and getting residents up at 4am). If I remember correctly you've basically been in trouble or fired from every job...

  9. Life Crisis

    beachbum3 replied to markfrc65's topic in General Nursing

    First... big hugs to you! I don't think this is going to be what you want to hear. I think your only option is to try to pick up where you left off next time the course is offered. Unfortunately...

  10. How hard is it for a new grad to find a hospital job???

    beachbum3 replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    Was supposed to be moving out of state, so applied for and got a job in March that was scheduled to start in June. At the last minute (in June) SO's transfer was canceled and so then I needed to find...

  11. I am about to graduate, in need of HELP!

    beachbum3 replied to KonradKuy's topic in General Nursing

    The DMV ought to have record of the location of the citation. From there you can find which county it was and the courthouse for that county. Contact the county clerk and they should have records that...

  12. Classes

    beachbum3 replied to Java Mama's topic in General Nursing

    What is the other class you'd take with

  13. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    beachbum3 replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    i wasn't meaning to be inflammatory. i just respectfully disagree. i think yes, toxins could be on my clothes- hence why i don't do things like go around or hold babies after smoking, unless i've...

  14. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    beachbum3 replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but I disagree. For one, when I finish smoking, I wash my hands. Secondly, the chance that smoke residue rubs off my clothes and onto the furniture and then onto the kids and then causing...

  15. exercising/working out on work days

    beachbum3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just trying to plan my routine here, I'm thinking when I start on nights (starting out on days for part of orientation) that I can fit in going to the gym after I get off of work in the am. I'm not...

  16. OB-GYN surgery center.

    beachbum3 replied to jessica456's topic in General Nursing

    You don't usually need prior experience to work in a hospital as a new grad, from what I've

  17. Perpetuating the myths

    beachbum3 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    I still think that 265 happens randomly. Until I see something from the NCLEX people themselves I'm hanging on to it!!

  18. Am I wrong?

    beachbum3 replied to emmy41lgpn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think its worth all the energy you are giving it. If you are dissatisfied with the service then find someone else. I really don't see an issue with the Dr not being available when you called....

  19. how much time is fair?

    beachbum3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So here is my back story. Was supposed to be moving to TX upon graduation. Had a position lined up in the ER (my 1st choice area and where my heart is). At the last minute SO's transfer was canceled....

  20. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    beachbum3 replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    i feel the same way. i'm almost embarrassed about it. i always worry about whether or not i'm bothering someone when i go near someone who is a nonsmoker after i've had a smoke. when i've gone to...

  21. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    beachbum3 replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think they don't want to alienate the parents because they are afraid they will go elsewhere? I get the not wanting to alienate a patient, though. We can't help them if we do that. Confronting...

  22. Starting Salary.

    beachbum3 replied to indiawhitaker's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Depends on where you work (what region of the US). My starting pay will not come out to 60k unless I work some overtime in my first year. I'm in the Chicago area. I'm in the low 50k range including...

  23. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    beachbum3 replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not disagreeing that it sucks for parents to hold their babies while they smoke, or even smoke inside with kids in the same room. But alot of things suck that parents and people in general do. Its...

    beachbum3 replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    Amen.

  25. About to give up!

    beachbum3 replied to BLuDKLoT's topic in General Nursing

    did you have any training from the corps that you could use to test out of any of the prereq courses? certainly after 13 years of service your mos should have provided you with some kind of training,...
