  1. Help! How to find a hospital that hires new grads ?

    Quilter0225 replied to alesaishappy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would polish my resume and start submitting it everywhere. Most hospitals (even the small ones) allow you to apply online and include your electronic resume. Maybe you can turn this into a...

  2. Did anyone start out in Psych?

    Quilter0225 replied to ANH_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is an excellent facility. As far as backgrounds go, my own childhood was no picnic. Ultimately this helps me to be empathetic with the kids. It also lets me hold out hope, because I turned out...

    Quilter0225 replied to RNmaria's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this post! I feel much better and less like an idiot! I think my manager was too hard on me for the mistakes I have made (none really bad so far). Thanks...

  4. A New RN, Quit Job after 5 Months

    Quilter0225 replied to I_Scream's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is hard when people ask about how work is going. I started out by answering "Fine" and then changing the subject. Finally I decided to just be honest. It is a relief. Most people are...

  5. A New RN, Quit Job after 5 Months

    Quilter0225 replied to I_Scream's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am in a similar situation. I had two months of internship, then 12 weeks after I got my license on a very fast-paced telemetry floor. My manager told me in the 12th week of orientation that it...

    Quilter0225 replied to Tweety's topic in First Year After Licensure

  8. Graduation Gift Ideas for Big Brother?

    Quilter0225 replied to DroogieRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My favorite gift was a one-serving size coffee press. That way I could make Starbucks at work instead of drinking the gross hospital coffee. I think you can find them online for something like...

  9. How to dress for lecture part of internship??

    Quilter0225 replied to daisy87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wore business casual to the corporate part of orientation, then scrubs to the classroom portion at my hospital's education center. Scrubs look professional (I'm anal and iron mine) and, to me, are...

  10. Words of Wisdom?

    Quilter0225 replied to SweetLemon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good luck with your internship. I started out in a critical care internship and it was not a good fit for me. If you are able to multitask very well and like a constantly stimulating environment,...

  11. Did anyone start out in Psych?

    Quilter0225 replied to ANH_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the info. I just left a very busy high acuity tele floor after 5 months. It was not a good fit for me as a new nurse. I have 8 years of experience as a special education assistant, so I...

  12. Trouble finding a job!

    Quilter0225 replied to mrscoozy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Some hospitals will hire you as an intern until you get your license. My first two months on the job (before I got my license) were spent in the classroom (6 days) and shadowing a nurse on the unit I...

  13. Where to go from here: advice needed! (please) [long]

    Quilter0225 replied to Wave's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Almost the exact same thing happened to me. I graduated in the top ten of 150 in my ASN program and passed the NCLEX on the first try. I started a telemetry job (my first choice) as an intern for 2...

    Quilter0225 replied to BISN08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can identify. I am having trouble finding a job as a new grad in Ohio. Most hospitals hire new grads in the fall only in this area, and most of those jobs are in critical care. I want a med surg...

    Quilter0225 replied to nursingstudent424's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel the same way about large quantities of sputum (suction canisters, etc.) I think everyone has something that grosses them out. I have talked to experienced nurses about this. They say that...

    Quilter0225 replied to mrscoozy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats! I am having trouble finding a job as a new grad in Ohio. I know what you mean about the nursing shortage. Everyone wants nurses with a minimum of 1 year experience. I have an interview...

  20. Sick of making mistakes and questioning why I ever became a nurse to begin with!

    Quilter0225 replied to BeachyRNn08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How many mistakes can you make before you get fired? That depends on where you are. I think my case is worse than usual. I was in orientation 12 weeks. At the beginning of orientation I had to be...
