   That is very encouraging to hear. Well after all is said and done, I have a 3.15, but that is for about 75 hours, so I don't know what mine would be for the last 60, eeek. I wish I knew how to figure that out lol.

   I am having the same dilemma. I can't tell if I should contact HR or the nurse manager, or if I should just submit an application. What do you guys think?

8. Your Pet and your schedule...

   girlfromtx replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

   I agree... especially if you are getting a poodle or other animal that craves companionship. I agree with everyone else about getting settled into a job first. I just got a puppy, so I am running on little sleep due to the dog wanting to wake up an...

   girlfromtx replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in New Nurse

   One evening, after a particularly belligerant pt's daughter was leaving for the night, she came up to me and my clinical instructor and said, "Don't manhandle her while I'm gone." Ummm, while tempting, last I checked it was against the law!

    girlfromtx replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Students

    girlfromtx replied to girlfromtx's topic in NICU

    That's true Sparky. I want to go to NICU so bad, that I can't see me ever wanting to change areas:chuckle . However, if some unforseeable event comes up that I HAD to work in an adult area, I have heard that there are refresher courses, maybe I cou...
