It's true about Nurse Managers and Hiring Managers looking down on you for not having a job within x # of months after graduation. I spoke with a NM on Thursday and we were talking about the "New Grad...
The bolded is all that needs to be said... so if you believe you can do all of this, 24 or more procedures a day after a 5 day orientation, have fun being a nurse for another 1-2 days before you have...
I'm really sorry to hear that. That must be so difficult to have spent so long working for a goal only to be told that ultimately, it comes down to an exam. Well, I think a lot of NSs use the HESI as...
Hey, I requested the MICU and a surgical floor. I'll probably see you there!! I had wanted to go to the one on the 24th, but none of the units I wanted were open. We were pretty much playing pong with...
