I am a recent grad and am working now. I will be finishing my orientation soon, 2 weeks. I just get so anxious when I am getting ready to go to work. Honestly, I am quite intimidated by my preceptor, and sometimes feel like I need to walk on eggsh...

I am a RN, and work 2 jobs, one is full time (at a pediatric hospital, I work 7/10 hour shifts a pay period, plus have to be on-call every 6 weeks on the weekend), the other job is a per diem job (at a psych hospital, I am supposed to work 2 12hour s...

I am not sure if you would like to move, but I know GVSU (in Grand Rapids/Allendale) has a second degree program. Last I knew they have two, one that was "regular" and one that is accelerated. I did the regular 2nd degree one and it was pretty nice...

You might want to check out Community Behavioral Health Center. They are one of the only inpatient psych facilities in Fresno. I am an RN and have been per diem there for a short time. PM if you want to for more info.. Hope that helps..

I am not a fan of eyeballs either.. I have always been "weirded" out by contacts and even using Visine.. Seeing a couple eye lid surgeries in Nursing school just confirmed my phobia of them.. :) glad to know that I am not the only one! :) I am also ...

I am a RN with one year experience in peds (med/surg). I do not like my job, at all.. I am anxious all the time and this anxiety has started to transform into depression. Its starting to effect my home life and I hate the way I feel.. I also have ...

Can anyone give me any info on hospitals in the bolingbrook area? My husband might relocate there for his job and would love any info. I tried looking online, but I didn't find much. I am looking into psych or maybe some kind of med/surg. Thanks...

This probably sounds really funny.. but I am thinking of quiting at the current place that I work, but I am not sure how to go about it. Here is a little background info.. I recieved money for relocating, but if I left before 2 years was up, I woul...

I worked at a inpatient psych hospital for 6 years in Michigan as a Mental Health Worker (MHW). Most of the people that held this position had a college degree or were in the process of getting one. Some people that had worked there for a long time...

how exciting! I am very jealous that you are moving ot GR.. That is where I am from and my SO and I have relocated to California about a year ago. The one thing with living in Rockford is that the drive back to the "city" can be a hard in the winte...

I relocated to California from Michigan with my fiance (now husband). For me, it was the hardest thing I ever did and would never want to do it again. I miss Michigan more that anything. I am not sure if it was the move, the fact I was in a new fi...

I am fairly new to the central valley (Fresno), and I am wondering if their are any places that a new (I will be a RN for a year in November) RN can work that is not a hospital. I am having an extremely hard time enjoying my job. I am getting to t...

I just graduated nursing school last august (06). I took my boards in Michigan, then about a week later flew to California, where my fiance is. I started a new job, in a new area. (I actually interviewed with them in September and they oftered me a ...

To make a long story short, I relocated to california from michigan in November. I got a job at what I thought would be a good fit for me, at a peds hospital, a Magnet facility at that, and now I am rethinking it all. I worked in psych as a mental...

many of the girls in my nursing class took the hurst review. I think it was over 20, and all but one passed the NCLEX the first time. We had the 4 day seminar at our school. I really liked it, they broke things down for you.

I have been in Fresno since November 2006. I moved from Michigan to here b/c my fiance got a job here. I basically took my NCLEX in michigan, then came here. I got a job at Children's Hospital Central California (they were the first to offer it to me...

I bought a purse.. and am being to pay of student loans.. I really want to save..

I do, almost everyday.. I am not sure if I want to quit nursing over all, just the hospital I am at. I work in Peds, came from Psych and boy do I miss my psych patients.. The main reason I can't quit is b/c I got relocation money and I have to say f...

I too have these thoughts and feelings.. I graduated in August, and then moved to California from Michigan with my fiance. I know like 2 people here and they are relatives of my fiance.. I have been at my current job in california since december a...

I am not sure if you are looking for a class, but My nursing class and I all took the Hurst Review course (4 days of in class ), but I also think they have online stuff too, and all but one of the girls in my class that took it passed the NCLEX-RN on...

I did lose some weight, but I call it my "anxiety" diet. I have began to workout again, and that helps with both the anxiety and stress as well as keeping the weight off.

yes, I worked, every Saturday and Sunday, as a Mental Health Worker at a psych hospital. Normally I would do 8 hours a day, but sometimes when my lovely co-workers would call in sick, I would pull doubles.. I got my BSN, and was normally in class or...

tonight is my first night off orientation.. I am all nerves.. I am slow at everything, especially meds.. I hope it gets better.. Thanks for reading.. :)

If I even played, and I won, I think I would work part time or per diem.. I donate some of the money to charities and to my alma mater. I also think I would end up going back to school to get my MSN..

I really like psych, and think I will go back to psych. I am in peds now, and I like some of it, but not all. I am fairly new though. My ultimate goal would to be a NP in psych..
