Thanks, i think ill pick oncology then.

I just passed my boards and have been asked by one of the hospitals if I would like PICU or Ped oncology. As a new nurse I really don't know what to choose, I know I love children,however you experienced nurses out there,what would you suggest?

That's awesome!!!! I still havent gotten a date or center yet.

Right! I live in West palm beach.

I am originally from NY, however I had my son here in FL and it is the pitts. The doctors are no good, all they want to do is admit my son anytime he gets aggressive instead of evaluating him. They dont know if its Bipolar or autism with ADHD. They o...

Actually I'm from FL and I just got 25/hr offered at a medical office. Not bad.

Hi everyone!I'm fairly new to the site. I'm graduating in May and I am a bit scared at the fact that nursing is all 12 hour shifts and here I am raising a special needs kid. I am probably going to do my preceptorship in Labor and delivery which i lov...

Hi Everyone! My name is Laura, and I graduate from the Rn program in May. I'm a little nervous, seeing how time flew so fast and were gonna be out on our own, I just hope I remember everything. Which they say we won't. I'm really intrested in Labor ...

Well, were currently doing High acuity and then mental health.then our preceptorship is march25 until graduation in may. Like Im going to hopefully do my preceptorship in OB at palms west,because a nurse offered to. So we just got our preceptor forms...

You didnt do an OB rotation? really? I loved it. Thats why I'm sooo into like staying in that hospital or applying to another one but im concerned that when I say 8 hrs, they'll say "No way" This 12 hr stuff sucks

Hey, thanks! You too. Where are you doing your preceptorship? I'm still trying to decide. I mean I have a nurse that wants to preceptor me in Labor and Deliv,but we have to pick 2 more units.

Thanks Goldstein! I will take that in mind when I start applying. I thought the 12 hour shift were written in stone or something. Do you think I should try agencies?

Yea, I was the other forum mentioned Nursing homes, or agencies. I just thought that the hospitals had more of a suppport system for new grads.thanks.

Thanks everyone!! That really helps. Nursing homes. I really appreciate your help.

I know that's what i was thinking, however the only specialty I think is Mental health,and not in no hospital. Like agencies are offering 8 hr shift Now I havent started applying. I start in April,I guess I'll see if I get lucky and get an 8 hour shi...

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it. I was looking to do like agencies, which offer 8 hour shift in mental health. So we'll see where it will lead me. WIsh me luck!
