No the sign in is 8k and the 5k is for the "education part " yes we have drips like nitro up to 50 mcg, cardizem, and stuff like that, tube feeds yes, no so much of drains just some chole, they try the new restrain free enviroment as much as they can so they have sitters. but we get baker act pts any ways a little of everything. It IS crazy !

thanks for your words! yes, 24 months for 8000 sign no bonus ( 4000 first year and 4000 second) and for education they gave me like basic EKG and preceptorship I will have to paid back $5000. I hope I find something better even if i have to paid the 5K back!

Hi thanks for your words Well its a 24 months for $8000 sign in bonus ( $4000 first year 4000 second year, but i could return this without problem) and they said because of the preceptorship of 6 weeks and the EKG course if i leave earlier i have to paid $5000 back. Thats the catch! :angryfire. I cant not change units until 6 months in there but since Im new its not easy to change. Even in Med surge the ratios are high! 10 -1 night time. Even if i have to paid I think Im living when i find something better. When I finish school I never understood the difference between profit and non profit hospitals, but believe me after this experience in profit hospital I got the picture. I hope i can find something soon:uhoh3:. Thanks again

hi im a new grad nurse im currently working at pcu. i decided to get a strong base in nursing before reaching icu, but after experiencing 6 weeks by myself working with pt ratio of 8-1. im going crazy! i asked everytime i need help, but the rest of staff is busy too. i just feel in bad shapei knew the beggining was going to be intense but this is ridiculus. i have compared my type of job and the max ratio is 6-1. i feel unsafe everytime i get to work. i love nursing but this experience is questioning my carrer goals and inspiration. i got trick into signing a contract with this hospital that suppost to have a "great education program" :angryfireanyways ! the new grad program was one week and then 6 weeks of preceptorship. right now i just want to run away and try something else l/d or or in a different hospital setting, but they dont take new grads. i dont know what to do, but i need to make a healthy change asap. any suggestions ?
