    Nurses are just regular people. Take a good look at the nurses during your first clinical..........they are just regular people..... As others have said, it is your competency as a nurse that really...
  8. Plenty of jobs in MI. I think the state is approx. 7000 nurses short (that stat is 1 year old). There was recently a MI nurse scholarship created to keep nurses in Michigan. (I recieved 6K and have...
  9. No advise but....I guess we all have different experiences as new RNs. My hospital is always negative beds - never low census. I worry about being mandated to stay over my shift....last time was in...

    calling in sick ...

    Personally, I feel that guilt is useless. Do what you need to do for your health and move on. I hope that you find a job that you are satisfied with.

    I am afraid I will fail : (

    If you really want to be a nurse don't give up! Worst case scenario: you fail the test. If you don't pass, can you receive feedback on where you are lacking, and then study and retake it at a later...

    New job: Problem with orientation-VENT

    Oh, this sounds awful! Nothing like my orientation. I had very good preceptors, and was ceratinly told how pts took meds. This does not sound like a good learning opportunity for you as a new nurse....

    Nurse's hairdo's

    This is NOT an issue where I work. We have many 'hip hairstyles'. Although it is most likely not encouraged by management, we also have a few nurses with pierced noses (studs) and visible tattoos....

    summer before second semester RN school

    When I was in school, I NEVER studied on break. I needed that time for my own mental well-being. I read books for leisure, spent time with my family, hiked, and did other things I enjoyed. I was...
