1. drowning in despair

   AlwaysMovingUp replied to AlwaysMovingUp's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for all the replies--more welcome of course. The main issue is really whether or not I will be reported to the board. Like, I can think of NOTHING I have done that would result in me needing to be reported to the board--there was one time when...

   AlwaysMovingUp replied to AlwaysMovingUp's topic in General Nursing

   thanks for your reply and support...i feel the same way re:the feedback from preceptor and management...in fact that was supposed to be occurring all along but they, in their total chaotic and disorganized state, dropped the ball......despite my repe...

3. drowning in despair

   AlwaysMovingUp posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi all, I need some serious advice. I was/am on orientation at a well respected teaching hospital; I have been let go without a definite reason other than "you have failed to make progress with orientation thus far." I have also been told that I wi...

4. NCLEX application question re:criminal backgrounds

   AlwaysMovingUp posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hi all, I have a quick question. 6 years ago I had a (brief) warrant out for my arrest when I missed a court date for a minor traffic violation (my wheels spun out, made a loud noise, and I got a "noise violation" ticket for it). I got the warrant fo...

6. orientation for new GN/RN: what's normal? what isn't?

   AlwaysMovingUp posted a topic in New Nurse

   I will be starting my first job as a GN/RN in about a month....it isn't one of those "orientation" things that many hospitals due that start in Jan. or June (where tons of new nurses all start at one time and go through it together). I know my orien...

7. new graduate, new challenges!

   AlwaysMovingUp posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hi all :) I recently ...VERY recently graduated....I start a night time position in about a month. While I am for sure a night time person, I am a bit nervous because I tend to have energy until around 3-4am, then I crash. I've read the "no coffee a...

8. feeling hopeless.

   AlwaysMovingUp posted a topic in New Nurse

   :cry:I'm graduating from nursing school soon. I've had two interviews at a major teaching hospital; one was the general HR interview, and the second was an interview with the actual unit I'd be working on. I didn't get it. The HR person called and sa...

10. Management Clinicals

    AlwaysMovingUp posted a topic in Student Assist

    Hi all, I am starting my management clinicals next week, and to be honest, I'm a bit worried about them. I don't know what to expect. I know we start the first week or two having only one to two patients, and by the end of the course we will have fou...

11. already in a pickle at Nursing School

    AlwaysMovingUp replied to I'MIV's topic in Student Assist

    Honestly, this is a good learning experience for you I'MIV. When you become an RN, there will be other people (patients, fellow nurses, doctors, etc) who do or say something rude, and you have to take it in stride. Of course, it is always easier said...

    Hi all! I desperately need a nursing leader for a project my class is working on. Basically, this nursing leader (male or female, black white, purple or green--I don't care!) should either be the Dean of a college/school of nursing, hold a political ...

13. Being reported to BON

    AlwaysMovingUp replied to smmathew's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting, we just had a big discussion on this in my LAST NURSING CLASS EVER (yay!). The instructor, who has 10 years of experience as a nurse attorney, said if you are ever reported to the BON, you should get a nurse attorney to represent you ASA...

14. A Generation of Wimps?

    AlwaysMovingUp replied to EDNewbie's topic in Emergency

    A lot of people in my generation (I am in my twenties) are total wimps. I think this is for a plethora of reasons, one of which is "bad parenting." While it is true that even the best "on-top-of-things" parents can't force their adult children to beh...

    I started to read this forum because I was intrigued by the title...and I kept reading...the occasional funny remarks made me chuckle....which I definetly needed....I am graduating early next year and I'm already overwhelmed! So thanks for the humor,...
