   Franjcamp replied to Cyns's topic in Relations

   I would like to relate that though I was sweating it I have found a nice job as a stroke coordinator. Though a masters degree was not a requirement it didn't hurt to be 60 with an MSN to secure a job I wanted. There is still nirsing after 60. .

10. Whats the percentage of new RNs who "make it" after orientation?

    Franjcamp replied to lilybug12's topic in New Nurse

    Time management is your best friend. All new nurses have to learn to become organized and to prioritize. Watch how your preceptor organizes her work. One week isn't much time for orientation. Our hospital's orientation is 8-12 weeks. Look to see...
