  1. Working in critical care as a new RN

    SusGob711 replied to Katniss88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Obviously you know what you're comfortable with. I can't speak for ICU but ER is not the monster everyone makes it out to be. You're not going to get thrown into a full arrest your first week on the...

    SusGob711 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm miserable on my unit (not a good fit for me at all) and would like to transfer within the hospital to another unit (onc to L&D or ED). Wondering if anyone has done this and if there was any...

  3. In hospital transfers with <6 months?

    SusGob711 replied to SusGob711's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Very good points indeed. My reason for wanting a change is personal, nothing the unit or I did wrong. It seems I was trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole. Adult oncology is not my...

  4. Help! I hate my first nursing job!

    SusGob711 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just as the post states--I was hired on a busy intermediate oncology unit at a large urban hospital a few months ago and I'm miserable. The preceptors aren't great, have the aides simply don't work,...

  5. The correct answer to the dreaded "What is your weakness" interview question...

    SusGob711 replied to CC Wisconsin's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As long as it doesn't paint you in a bad image. For example, if you say your weakness is that you get attached to your patients, you must be prepared to communicate that you know how to set boundaries...

    SusGob711 posted a topic in Pediatric

    SusGob711 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to sound unsympathetic but you're just going to have to get thicker skin. I work in a pediatric ER (not much different than urgent care or primary to be perfectly honest) and parents...

  10. Test Questions: When to call the doctor?

    SusGob711 posted a topic in General Students

  11. University of Toledo CON

    SusGob711 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    I've been getting some rather disheartening feedback on the status of this program. I.e.: lack of preceptorships, disorganized program, etc. I've had bad luck with another nursing program in the...

  13. Areas of the country with jobs for new grads?

    SusGob711 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious as to whether there is a certain region or industry nationally that is willing to hire new grads. In my part of the county, it's close to impossible for someone without at least one year...

  17. Can NPs write fertility drugs?

    SusGob711 replied to SusGob711's topic in General Nursing

    Whowland-- NPs have restrictions and regulations regarding their prescriptive authority so my question regarded whether they have any restrictions on writing fertility drugs. Thanks

    SusGob711 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to post another 'burned out nurse' post but I'm growing very tired of my RN position in the hospital. I'd love to find a position without the administrative garbage. I truly love and enjoy...

  20. Discouraged....

    SusGob711 replied to BSNBound!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. The good news is that many women with similar situations have done what you're doing. It's not easy, it's a sacrifice and a crappy one at that. But what...

    Thanks again for the replies--you just confirmed what I already figured, lol. It indeed was Owens Community College. Luckily there are a couple other programs in the area--I'm just sick of bouncing...

  22. Going to an unaccredited school?

    SusGob711 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know this might belong in the student section but I would appreciate the opinions of those in the workplace who have gone through applying/hiring cycles. How would having an ADN from an unaccredited...
