You are right about liking your unit. I've heard some stories on here. Everyone on my shift works together to help one another get a head and out on time.

Do you work nights or days? How many credits are you taking?

Thank you for your advice. It is a huge help!!!

The director said its online and class room. I do have to take some other classes that weren't required for my assoc. It's at a universtiy and they only ofter certain classes during the fall and spring semester.

Hello. I graduated about a year and a half ago. I've been working for less than a year full-time. I am wanting to go back to school to get my BSN. Although I am hestiant about how to go about doing it. I work on a great floor and feel blessed with the nurses I work with. I can't imagen working on another floor. I got accepted to a RN to BSN program but I am not sure which direction I should go about pursuing it. Here are my options: Quit my job and go full-time school finish in a year- my reservations is I won't get the hands on experience and the learning you get on the job. Plus I'd miss the ladies I work with. Part-time work and school part-time- I am not sure if I could handle the load. I work nights and classes are held during the day. I remember how stressful school was the first time around. Flipping back and forth already kicks my booty. I can't imagen doing it with school on top of it. Plus I don't want to do this for a few years. I have an opportunity for get my schooling paid for free for the next year. I just need a little advice. I look forward to any that comes my way!

Definatley feel that way!

I've been there and still am! I've been off orientation for 7 months now!

I am trying to figure this one out too. I currently work in nursing full-time and wonder if I can work part-time at my job and go to school. I am trying to pay off bills before heading back. I really love the floor I work and don't want to give up my position. I am so torn.

I feel exactually the same way! I feel alot better know I am not a lone.

I had an interview yesterday with 2 different floors. The manager said she doesn't think I'll have problem getting a job it's just choosing which one is the right one for me. That was really positive. The next interviewer did most of the talking. She really didn't ask me many questions but explain to me how the unit is. What does that mean? Any thoughts I asked her a lot of questions and she said they were very good. I liked the second place I interviewed for because they work with your schedule and let you switch with other nurses if there is a conflict.

I wasn't offered a position. She said she had a couple more interviews and I would hear something in a couple of weeks. In the meantime what do I do. Today I am going to send my thank you card to her. I know that much but from there I am stuck!

How does this compare to the Littmann 3M 3000?

I am going to ask for it for a graduation present! This sounds awesome.

I had my first interview ever for a nursing job this past weekend. All of my family keeps asking me how I think I did. I honestly can't say for sure. The manager did a lot of talking and at one point started talking about stuff off the subject. What are signs to look for if an interview is going good or not so much? Any advice for future interviews? :nuke:

I recently passed my boards, and have been applying for jobs. I have heard that working day shift is the best shift to learn from however I am finding that most places want me to start on a night shift. I would really prefer to work day shift and I've applied for all day shift jobs. I dont want to mess up my sleep cycle. But all of the recruiters keep asking me to work a night shift. Is there any advise for me being a new nurse and what shift I should start? Thank You!!
