I am a new graduate working in the ER, and I feel like I am having major trouble catching on ....First things first, I went to a school where we had TERRIBLE clinicals I dont feel like I learned any clinical skills (and most of the students that went...

Good Question. I would like to know the answer to this as well.

I am a new graduate and I am having MAJOR trouble starting IV's. Im working in the ER and allll of my work is taking forever because I cant really complete any of the orders until the IV is in....it's just to the point of ridiculous. Can anyone tell ...

To those of you who have recently taken NCLEX, how does it compare to HESI? Did you think HESI OR NCLEX was harder? How did you prepare? Does anyone know of any good practice test to take online that are similar to NCLEX?

OHH my gosh I am so glad to hear this....I've been on orientation for about 4 days in the ER ...I feel like I know nothing. I can barely get an IV started, cannot remember ANY drugs, cant read the md orders, feel like I depend on my preceptor to tell...

Thank you!

I am so glad you asked this question... I am in the same situation. I am licensed in Alabama and endorsing into Oklahoma, my question is (probably something I should know) can you use the same CE's that you submit for Alabama that you do in Oklahoma ...

OKK.. I am a new grad, who is still searching for a job ( 1 1/2 months), as are many others right now, I am just so sick of hearing nurses who HAVE JOBS talk about how they HATE nursing, how is this fair?? I understand having days that are frustratin...

I know that must have been frustrating. I think when the general public thinks of nurses ....they ONLY think "care taker" which is ONE side of it but by far not the only thing nurses are good for. I hope this image of nursing changes in the future. ...

If you arent ever rude to your patients or co-workers then this thread isnt even about you...BTW you are in for a rude awakening if you expect a new grad or anyone for that matter to not "alienate" themselves from the kind of nurse that I was describ...

Who said quit when things get tough?

Totally agree! Still Im shocked at some of these responses...whether she knew or not, I just dont think, that was an appropriate way to handle the situation.

I can totally see your side.

Thank you, Im glad that there are nurses out there that new graduates CAN look up to!

Tweety, you have 18 years of experience, I think you have an awesome attitude! Here's just one example of where I am coming from, a new graduate shows up for her first day of work the, unit manager goes on the floor and finds someone to place the ne...

WOW, calm down! First of all, if you read then you would've noticed that I have worked in a hospital for 3 years, also when I was doing my clinicals this was something that we constantly faced as students and not only that alot of the nurses were jus...

WOW! Im glad that I had encouraging teachers.

Thanks to everyone for responding (whether you agree or disagree) I definitely do believe, that from some of the previous post I have changed my outlook. However, I still dont think that just because your miserable or burnout that you should be so vo...
