1. REAL World Of Nursing!

   Happy TBA Nurse replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

   I used to work with a doctor like that. If a newbie would ask him to repeat the order or have too many questions, he would make comments to other nurses that he found that person to be incompetent even after we explained that she was new. It really t...

2. Which job do I take?

   Happy TBA Nurse replied to casperx875x's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with shadowing a nurse for a few days at the NICU. It may help you to make your decision easier. It would also give you a chance to talk with other nurses on the unit to see what their challanges are etc. My opinion it sounds like you have a...

4. Just need to vent a little about my preceptor

   Happy TBA Nurse replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in New Nurse

   It sounds like she's trying to give you a hard time. I wouldn't take it personally. She probably does that to all the new nurses. It's good that your looking at the situation positively and trying to get the most out of it.

   You just need to be honest and straightforward. The sooner you let them know the better. I'm sure they have other applicants they can consider. No harm done.

   Happy TBA Nurse replied to eldragon's topic in Geriatric

   I used to work in a similar enviornment. As a regular daytime nurse I built a relationships with the other nurses and could see what their weakness/strengths were and would give assignments out accordingly. One person cannot do everything and you hav...

    I have a similar situation. I took a job one month ago. It doesnt have much to do with nursing (more supervisory) and I find it kind of boring. I have and offer at a hospital working on the neuro unit. I don't have much clinical experience and I'm no...
