I think you might want to consider seeking a position in a large teaching hospital. Often there are internships available, and a preceptor that volunteers for that job, not someone who looks at it as just an added burden. Unfortunately, some people (not just nurses) are so bitter and miserable, they can't wait to pull the rest of us down into that too. If your supervisor can't/won't help, then you need to get out. Usually *hit runs downhill. So if the person at the top has a bad attitude.....run awayyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Nursing does tend to eat it's young, but we're not all carnivores! _________________________________________________________________- I have had the most horrible experience with Nursing since I moved to San Diego, CA Sept 2007. I cannot get hired. As soon as the Nurse who interviews me sees I have not done specific skills for about a year then I have wasted my time. I went to Nursing School for 4 years for this? Received a BSN and have a vast knowledge of Pharmaceuticals as I was a Certified Pharmacy Technician for 18 years before Nursing School. I have come to the conclusion, experience is the number ONE priority and degree is secondary. I am so very irate with the Nursing profession I could scream. What is this shortage about? Where is it? If they need Nurses so bad why will they not train? I am extremely willing to work. Very wiling to learn. I do enjoy Nursing. But in the last 7 months I have really and truly and have begun to boycott this profession. I am a male. For some reason when a female interviews me I feel looked down on because as one put it "you really did yourself injustice when you were a spinal cord injury Nurse." We have Sharp Hospitals here in San Diego, CA. That is a dull subject. Anyhow she hired me but constantly berated me and watched me. It was horrible. I have no respect for this woman. She was quite nice when I showed interest in the Hospital but then would constantly make snide remarks. What is so funny, staffing continues to call me today from this Hospital when they are short in MED/SURG. I have not been employed there since July 2008 I could go on with it but the bottom line is, and all students need to read this: Experience is primary, degree is secondary. That is so pitiful. So you students need to student hard and work, if you're able while in school (I didn't), and get as much MED/SURG, TELE, Critical Care experience as possible. If you don't forget all this studying you did! You've wasted your time. Recruiters call me all excited and when I tell them it's been about 2 years since I worked ICU I never hear from them again. It's a joke. More Will Be Posted. I have got to go scream !

". . . Not sure what your asking" you're is spelled this way.

No this is not a question from an NCLEX book. It is a question I made

it is 4:30 in San Diego, CA Is there a way to search for particular types of questions (NCLEX) or Nursing type questions? . . in particular "During a routine follow up visit to a pt who was discharged from the hospital 6 days ago, the nurse identifies that the pt's wound is beginning to show signs of infection. The nurse should implement the following actions" : A. Change dsg more freq, complete an incident report, notify MD B Notify supervisor, record a detailed description of the wound, notify MD C. Notify supervisor, complete a compliant report, notify hospital that discharged pt D. Notify hospital that discharged pt, complete Incident report, change the wound care protocol
