I'm a new grad and working my first nursing job at a Rehabilitation/LTC facility. Everyone is stressed because the state is due to come in. I've never been through this before, and I'm not exactly sure of all the rules. I've asked over and over fo...

Wow! What a ton of info! Thank you so much :)

You're right, it's in my head. There's just so much to remember. A coworker gave me a bunch of handouts that lists the do's and don'ts to med passes, etc. I'm feeling a bit more confident now. Thank you :)

Thank you so much for the info. It's very helpful!

Thank you everyone for your input. I sure wish there was a website I could go to and study, but all the tips you gave are very helpful. I'll be sure to read up on the facility's policies. Thank you!

What is working "registry"? Is that at a hospital? I was wondering if 33 LTC patients is more or less hectic than 6-8 acute patients at the hospital. Thank you for the info :)

Seems like there are a lot of us in the same boat. I wish you the best in getting a job you enjoy. To look on the bright side, we are getting experience and a paycheck :) Take care.

I feel your pain. Your post is exactly like what I'm going through right now. New grad, can't find a job in a hospital, had to this LTC job, received 6 days orientation (they wanted to give me 3, but I fought for 6.....still NOT enough), and have 3...

I'm so happy for you that you found where you are meant to be. I hope to find that too one day.

If it's not too personal, could you elaborate on how God called you and got your attention? I belive I'm having something similar happening to me and would love to hear your story. :)

When would you recommend taking the Kaplan class? My choices are right after graduation or a couple of weeks before taking the NCLEX. Thank you.

I'm about to start role transformation soon and am in the 4th term/nights & weekend program. The NCLEX review is 7:30-4:00 on W,Th,F the last week of ADII. The 1st week of role I have to work 7p-7a on a Tue night, then 7a-7p that F,Sa,Su. The 2nd...

Thank you so much for your imput! I think I'll take your advice and go for Shands :)

I have the choice of doing my final term and preceptorship at either Shands Jacksonville or Orange Park. I would like to specialize in either Peds, NICU, or L&D. I know when I graduate I do not want to work at Shands, but I'm wondering if the h...
