STL2008, RN

Ok thanks for the responses. What do I say if I never made a med error?

Do you mind me asking what type of questions they ask? I have an interview on friday for ICU. I dont know what type of question to expect. Were any of your questions based on the specialty?

I live in STL and work as an RN but I have no exp in ER so I couldn't help you but i think you should post this in the Missouri Section you will get more responses over there.

Yea its ok to look. The RNs I work with who are PRN and have full time jobs pretty much make up their own schedule as to when they can come in.

AMEN!!!! What are you to going to school for now?

Lucky!

Experience is better than no experience.

What type of floor do you work on?

I currently work in rehab and I honestly don't like it. I have a job interview soon and I just found out that they make you sign a 2 year contract. My issue is what if I end up hating this job, i would hate to have to stay for 2 years or if I broke...

How did u do

I know I've heard mixed reviews about the hospital. Some people I know won't step foot in that hospital. I went to school with some people that work there who also have no complaints. Another thing its 25miles farther away from my house.

No I would have been a vet

I just graduated nursing school in December. Recently got liscensed last month and have been applying everywhere. And I havent heard anything from anybody. Im getting worried I'll never find job. Is anybody else having trouble finding a job?

I applied to st. Alexius and never heard anything from them. I actually applied to that floor. Is there someone I can call to follow up? I'm trying to get a ms position but can't find a place that is hiring. I used to work at st Marys on 4w as a tec...

I hope so. Because right now I have that deer in the head lights look. i feel like if and when something goes wrong I wont know what to do. and that is scary to me. I hope this uneasy feeling goes away soon. Im working this weekend and im really drea...

I dont want to waste my liscense because I worked very hard for it. But i dont think im cut out for bedside nursing thats for sure. But I dont know what else i could do without experience.

Im going through the same thing you went through. Ive also thought about leaving nursing but dont know what else i could do. Nursing is very stressful and sometimes I dont think I am cut out for it. I constantly am crying, depressed even thinking abo...

How long did it take u to feel comfortable as a nurse? Im 2 months in and im a nervous wreck.

Vet and I still do

I work on rehab and I'm overwhelmed. I feel like I have no support on my floor and like you I'm always thinking about my liscence. I'm already looking for another job. I wasn't even given the proper orientation and was put on my own after a few days....

I was just telling my bf the same exact same thing about McDonald's yesterday. I know what your going through. Im going through the same thing. I constantly cry before work and have a sick feeling everytime I think about that place. And I've only bee...

The job market is tight right now not with just nursing. I'm pretty sure they aren't being picky.

You are a real nurse!!! Dont believe what anyone says. I work on a general rehab unit as a new grad on nights. What are everyone's nurse patient ratio's? Ours is 7-8 can be 10 if were short

I would do the surgical floor!

talk to your advisor and see what they say.
