Hi, I am a new nurse who just found out that I m pregnant .I m currently on orientation will be finishing next month .I am really worried .Should I tell my manager .I work in a covid unit .I really like this job and every one tells that I am doing a great job .I really feel comfortable in this job .I don’t want them to fire me for being pregnant . Please some one give any advice

Thank you for the advice. I will do as per you said. Go on with hospital for now.

Hi I am a new grad RN with Ltc experience as lpn for 5 years .I was offered a job in corrections with an orientation of 8 to 9 weeks ;at the same time I got another offer in hospital as a medsurg nurse .The med surg orientation is only 6 weeks.I feel this is scary.Which job Offer should I go with .I feel unprepared in hospital. 6 weeks is too short . The patient ratio is 1:8 in hospital . Help advice needed.

I know.I haven't tried. One has to apply in right school to get in nursing program.

Ok .I'm.

Yup.I'm not losing hope and I'm not planning to quit nursing school . I was so close towards the finish line especially last class. Thanks for the encouraging words. If I had given up in prior failures,I wouldn't be here. I have to change the way I study and get help when I need. Hopefully, I can come back and tell you good news with god's grace.

Absolutely right. That is why I returned to school. It is not 1:35 at my place 1:40 and 1:48.

Thanks.

Nope .I cant appeal .

Yes. I can't go backbecause medsurg kicked my butt 2times.People in this forum are bashing my language ,nclex and how did I came this far to program. I have overcome because I tried my level best in program ,and put my best effort eventhough it went down the drain where they dont offer help. I have hands on skills as a nurse but I have problems in test taking and time management as well as getting that concept which is so advanced.

I know . But I want to move up the ladder because of lpn being phased out and lpn are seen in nursing home .Moreover ,being RN can have more opportunities in nursing field .

Yes exactly .You are right on .I tried my level best that s why I don't blame myself eventhough I m responsible for my own actions . I studied from saunders and lippincott and it helped a little .My school loves select all that apply and I get 10 per test that messed me up greatly .Right now my chance is over .I have to wait until a bridge program or Rn programs takes me and I m not rushing again to do it in near future .

ofcourse its harsh .I study more than 20 hours too and it's not about studying it's about teaching a material in class .i have gone over lot of books too for this class and I still have trouble getting the concept because it's not being enforced in class properly.

Thanks atleast one person is understanding .we need kind nurses .

Thanks again for kind advice .English is my second language . writing skills has nothing to do with nursing skills .There are people who doesn't know English at all being nurse ESpecially foreign born second language .Back of my heart ,I love nursing and I want to advance education . Thanks for your criticism .I m trying to improve my English language and skills .
