Hello David, Good look and God Bless in the ED. Lord knows those MDs can be a little...uh...jerkish, but you will be fine. Practice makes perfect and you will get plenty of it. I didn't win the powerball by the way, maybe Wednesday.

"Myth" I wouldn't go that far. It is not a myth. It is reality. If you're a nurse you will find a job. No matter how long it takes. We are in demand bottom line

Hello, My name is Candy and I have been Working in an LTC for a year. I am currently in School again for my Masters but hopefully I will win the powerball tomorrow so I can retire at the age of 28

The need for nurses is soo great that hospitals are giving New grads a nice long orientatíon...you'll be Fine

Hello My name is Candy and I worked nights since 2001. It is hard getting used to it. Homecare is wonderful and less stressful, but you have to crawl before you walk. It will take time getting used to(the night shift I mean). I take a nap from 8pm-10pm. Work 11-7. I go to sleep in the morning at 8am(husband willing) and wake up at 1pm. Exercise at 2pm. So when I get up its still daylight. Fight against your body. Sometimes you want to sleep all day but don't do that. Get up at least by 2pm so you can still enjoy your day. I hope this helps you. Night Shift Rules!

Many LTC facilites are like this. They like to give their nurses a hard time, especially if you are new. Stand up for yourself and let management know they can't just walk all over you. My facility tried to fire me over O2 tank. Try not to take things personally, it is a business after all. Even though they deal with patients, money is their top priority. I'm not leaving my job though. No matter how they stress me out, I go in to work with a smiling face and take care of my patients. They always ask me "Why are you sooo happy?" Cause I ignore negativity.
