  1. How can I get OUT of Med Surg and into ICU, ER??

    NeoPediRN replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck to you. I mean that. You're going to need it with this fantasy world mentality. It is not possible to respond to every single patient request at once. There are 5-10 of them and one of you,...

    NeoPediRN replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    No, it screams reality check. Nursing is not all gumdrops and lollipops, especially in

  3. How can I get OUT of Med Surg and into ICU, ER??

    NeoPediRN replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Woah there, little one. I appreciate your zeal as a new grad, but until you have lived the customer service mentality of bedside med-surg nursing, you don't have the experience to back up these strong...

  4. advice needed for current boss

    NeoPediRN replied to paper1225's topic in General Nursing

    I will be leaving my job within the next month for similar reasons and going to a school nurse position. I sat down privately with my boss and explained my reason. I told her I really love my job but...

  6. Turf wars may have cost me my dream job

    NeoPediRN replied to loving2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this happened to you, but maybe it's a solid sign that this isn't the right hospital for you to work in. You could try calling the DON and speaking with her yourself, but if there's this...

  7. Bedside nurse or school nurse? Opinions please.

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    Schoolnurse, can you tell me what specifically you don't like? Why do you fnd the time off not as good as you thought it would be? Why do you feel you aren't valued? Is it your particular school...

  8. Need Advice

    NeoPediRN replied to MarBug7's topic in General Nursing

    Rome wasn't built in a day and you are not expected to know everything in the short time you've been on your own. Looking back there are different things that you coulda/woulda/shoulda, but you'll...

  9. is it easy to find a job with an associate nursing degree?

    NeoPediRN replied to cheng1988's topic in General Nursing

    It's not easy to get a job in most places with an associate's or a bachelor's, but I think you are more limited in this market right now with just an associate's. It's an employer's market right now...

  10. Days you are glad you are a Nurse

    NeoPediRN replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Nursing

    There are so many days I feel grateful to work in my field. I LOVE my job! I love watching babies beat the odds. There's a set of twins at my work who have a really poor prognosis...they weren't...

  11. terminated-though I was "allowed" to resign

    NeoPediRN replied to Goldenhare's topic in General Nursing

    This happened to me last year, and it turned out that they were overstaffed/budget for their average daily census, and I was the only RN not yet in the union. Almost the exact same crap happened to me...

  12. not looking "put together"

    NeoPediRN replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and I'm one of those frumpy nurses. I'm always exhausted from rotating shifts, it takes me hours to feel fully awake, my eyes and face are swollen from allergies when I wake up, and I don't like...

  13. Had my interview today.

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in School

    The DON called me yesterday and contingently offered me the position, pending superintendent approval which she said should be smooth sailing. I'm pretty sure I'm going to accept, as long as the...

  14. Career change, acute pedi to school nurse?

    NeoPediRN posted a topic in School

    Hello all. A little background. I have two years of nursing experience, all of which has been in pediatrics. I've worked as a per diem charge nurse in a 12 bed inpatient pedi psych unit for the past...

  15. Where is your heart at?

    NeoPediRN replied to Mom23kiddos's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in the camp that says you don't need med/surg experience before jumping into a specialty. I went straight to peds and also cared for med/surg overflow patients. Many of the clinical skills were...

  16. New RN where should I work?

    NeoPediRN replied to SarahJ1516's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for Parkland. They do not currently offer tuition reimbursement. Had a great experience there, though. Very supportive management on my floor (Women's and Children's Care) and excellent...

  19. Are there any jobs around for new grads??

    NeoPediRN replied to sarahmb's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I feel your pain. I graduated from Salem State in 2008 and it took me nine months to find a fulltime job, and I had to commute to NH for it. Your best option is to move. I hate to say it but there...

  20. Medically restricted from night shift?

    NeoPediRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever had a medical restriction put on them for working nights? Due to falling asleep on the drive home every morning after working nights, and increased arrthymias (congenital heart...

  21. Medically restricted from night shift?

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can safely say everyone who wants permanent nights is on them already. There isn't one person on rotating shifts who likes working nights, and try constantly try toget staff to switch so the...

  22. Rate of pay for home health nurse in mass?

    NeoPediRN replied to Thor77's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    It's extremely variable depending the type of home health. Skilled visits $40-60 depending on the type. Oasys forms = bigger $ for a bigger pain. Homecare varies greatly, I've seen anywhere from...
