Not getting it as nurses- the view
if anything the view should be cancelled because its just a bunch of old hags complaining about irrelevant stuff and bullying. who needs that kind of negativity

Adequate Orientation for 0 experience
until you feel comfortable, you have to let your preceptor or nurse manager what your comfort level is , if possible you could ask for more precepting shifts or when you are off orientation, be scheduled to work on days/nights a preceptor works so when u have questions u can ask them. but all your peers are a resource, dont be afraid to ask for help :)

Is there anything I can do with a BSN besides being a nurse?
nursing school was hell, everyday. like, i quit school every day i showed up, i verbalized it i made it known. I also had classmates who felt the same way you do right now. But, the most important thing is to get support, and the help you need. Take care of yourself & you have 9 months to go!!! youre almost there..even if u have to go part time, do what it takes get thru it move on :) and you def. dont have to work bedside. I work in airmedical transport and only see hospital beds when i drop off and pick up patients. you definitely have other options besides what you see in ur clinical rotations :)

Mandatory flu vaccines
lol. they let every tom dick and harry off the street w/o verifying that they have a flu shot or tell them they have to wear a mask its "suggested".. therefore if u dont want the shot, dont get it. and dont wear a mask if u dont want to. besides the flu mutates so rapidly its hard to keep up with it.

Thrown off orientation too early??
#1 you caught a potential huge med error. SO good job with that. Thank you for paying attention and taking that seriously. #2. if everyone stayed late to do things that the on coming nurse is more than capable of doing, there would be no point in handing off. BFD.. you were busy with more pressing things. The IV will get changed, and the picc line dressing..ugh whos to say the patient wasnt messing with it or it peeled in their sleep. you cant control everything! #3. the girl you handed off to sounds like she hates her job, based on how u described her behavior. her inattentiveness and rudeness wasnt necessary. dont sweat this stuff... use it as experience and move on. its ok to cry. if you feel like u need a bit more orientation. ask. it will keep u sane and your patients safe :)
