RNBSNGRADUATE

I'm sorry for the difficult time you are having & wish you good luck....like the others said...keep applying, etc....I'm relocating & am struggling finding a job as well....Here's to us!!

Gifted: Don't be depressed:) Keep your chin up:) I'm sad that it isn't happening as quickly as I'd prefer, but I can feel it in my bones that it's finally going 2 happen;) It's been my dream 2 live @ the beach for 20 yrs now...& things have never been so aligned as they are right now for me...the only hold up is the job:) I may overlook that @ some point, risk it & move anyway & let the cards fall -- we'll see! BEST of luck to you on your search!!! Stay encouraged:)

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply.... Thank you kindly for that useful information! I appreciate it. I live a little west of Winston-Salem, NC. I'm disappointed I haven't found employment yet, as I am long past ready to move:) Again, thank you bunches!!

Does anyone work there or know anyone who does? Know anything about the facility? Would you recommend working there?

Greetings Everyone & Happy Memorial Day weekend! Be safe !! & Thank you to ALL Veterans who have served in war & peacetime!! I have 18 mo Med-Surg experience & have considered traveling from the beginning.... I'd LOVE to hear about your 1st experience....bad/good....scared?? How you did? Did it work out, etc etc etc....ANYTHING you'd care 2 share w/someone who is considering traveling..... Way back when, also, I believe there was a thread or post that had Qs to ask as a traveler....does that still exist? Thank you in advance for your valuable time!! Appreciate it!

Has been Wrightsville Beach for some time.....just recently went to N Topsail Island...there may be a tie:)

I am from the Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point) area & have been considering moving to Wilmington for some time now. Does anyone reading this post work @ New Hanover? Do you know much about it? Is it a place you would recommend? Anything you may know would help ! Thank you in advance for your valuable time & input!!!

PL: Thank you so very kindly for your reply & offer! I would love the chance to take a gander (rolls eyes @ sounding like her Mother, lol) @ your SOP. Would you mind forwarding it on to [email protected]? Thank you again for your valuable time & taking this moment to make a difference in my journey!! I appreciate that!!! R

Hi there:) I was hoping someone might be kind enough to point me toward some examples of Statement of Purpose for Graduate School (Nurse Educator). I "googled" & came up with next to nothing. Any help, suggestions, or input is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your valuable time!!

Hi Mochafrap:) In tune with the others, I just wanted you to know you are not alone I, too, just finished my 1st year after licensure....I have been on a crazy medsurg floor as well. You WILL catch on & become quicker as time goes by:) Do your best! Stay encouraged:) Hugs of Support to you:)

According to definition provided -- I fall into the "new" nurse category. I, too, agree that care plans are a complete waste of my time & simply for good looks. I believe over 90% of what is charted isn't actually done. This is something that takes away valuable time (which is NEVER enough) for patient care. One may think -- how long does it really take to open & close care plans....well, the minutes add up in a 12-hr shift that are spent on certain things that could be done away with in order to free up some time for patient care. I work on a general medicine floor that is often referred to as the busiest in the hospital.

I agree with Cookie -- I've always known it to be "hospital policy" not necessarily law.

Always up for good conversation -- haven't frequented allnurses in quite some time....new formats, etc....is there a way for us to chat on here? email me anytime! best of luck & maybe we'll run into each other sometime!!!

I work in western NC. In my particular hospital -- "most" RNs work 12 hrs shifts...days or nts...we have a handful of 8-hr folks...but mostly 12s....and @ our hospital, you are hired directly for week DAYS or week ENDS...there's a specific crew for week ENDS. Myself -- I was hired for 3 12-hr nights (my extreme preference as I am @ my best in the middle of the nt! lol) during the week. Will NEVER be scheduled for a week END -- EVER. Most floors do "self" scheduling...which, of course you do not always get your "wish list" -- but on my floor they ARE excellent about at least making sure you get your request offs:)

Hey everyone!! It's been quite a while since I've posted -- & if I recall correctly -- @ that time there was actually a thread for NON-nursing related posts......PLEASE forgive me for posting this here, for lack of energy attempting to find the other.....(I've read enough to at least have a clue where to start the job searching when it's time ) ..... I'm needing SPECIFICS if at all possible about where to consider living and definitely where NOT to consider living....in dreamland I'd like to be as close to Wrightsville Beach as possible, but financially may not be feasible. I guess I'm more in line for an apartment (2 or 3 BR) than a house, as I'd like the pool & maintenance that comes with! Absolutely ANY insights would be appreciated greatly!!! I presently live in the Triad (W-S, HP, G'boro) area & am considering the move to Wilmington sooner rather than later as originally planned. I don't make it over to W-ton often, but happened to get over here for a couple of nights -- just visited 1 complex & wasn't impressed (+ they did not have W/D hookup which I need)..... Again, thanks in advance for your valuable time & any advice!!!!
