We have had different schedules to cover a lot of time that otherwise would be Call. We have more staff now and this is how my OR does it. There are a good number of staff doing 7-3:30, there are others doing 11am-7p, then we have night crew. One RN works sun, mom, and Tuesday nights along with a tech, and another RN with another tech works wed, thurs, and Friday night. Then we have am coverage for sat and Sunday day with an RN and a tech, so pretty much Sunday through Saturday day there is only call 2 and the only true call 1 there is is for Saturday night as here is only a tech scheduled to word sat nights. And we the trauma RNs fill out our call schedule and the heart team fill out theirs.

if you at least want 6 months experience by november you'll be a month short from meeting that goal. i would have him go first and you could stay for one more month? is that possible?

i'm sorry your husband is not being supportive of you and i'm sorry he showed you the way to the door i would sacrifice now, because the time you are planning on taking off will pass, but the difference will be if you'll have a degree or not. my situation isn't easy right now. we are on a budget, strict budget, but if there's no pain there's no gain. i would do what cbsjmommy told you to do, take that jerk court, make him pay you for child support and apply for all grants available out there for single moms, you'll get the help necessary to pay for school. i have a friend in nursing school that is a single mom and has four kids. it's not easy, but you gotta do it for your self, and for your kids. i only have one son, and i couldn't imagine having more kids right now or doing school later. i wanna be in good standing financially if i want more kids. it would be irresponsible of me right now to get pregnant (willingly trying to conceive) knowing in the situation my husband and i are at this time. this must be hard for you, may god bless you and guide you through, but i definitely encourage you to finish school sooner rather than later, as you and your kids will be better off financially stable sooner. hugs, chapis

i'm going throught the same thing, for the only expection is that i'm still in ns and i've been applying to two hospitals as a nurse tech with no luck at all. i started applying this january. i've only had one interview to which it didn't progress to a second interview all together i've applied a total of 14 times and nothing. i call hr and ask them, i've talked to the hr hiring manager and have asked him for tips, help, things i can improve on. i have changed my resume, someone has looked at it and made it look more professional, i'm rehireable at my previous jobs, i don't know what else to do but to keep on applying. the last time i talked to the hr hiring manager i asked him what else i can be doing to land a job, and he said, "make sure that when you have clinicals that they (rn's) remember your name". it's come down to pretty much of who knows who. i have a few classmates that have jobs and all of them have a sibling or a spouse working for that facility. its frustating-very frustating, hang in there :)

i like them, we all look clean and bright, i'm guessing it's because ours is white top and bottoms with a navy blue jacket. i don't mind it, but i think i would like it better if the pants were blue rather than white,

same here, hope you all have a happy & safe memorial holiday

congratulations mi vida loca, it's awesome to see people like you be an rn when two years ago when i became a member of an you were just a student, like me, and to see you be an rn already gives me more energy to keep on trucking. i graduate next may.

wow that sounds like fun and alot of learning experience for you, when you get done come back and let us know how it went. i've always wanted to work in a children's hospital

In my program, they ask if we're done, then if we say yes, then that's it, if we missed something then that's on us since we said we were already done. Or for the most part, we say, I"m done with assessment. then if I forgot to assess something the instructor tells me you forgot this, or at times they give us one chance by telling us, you forgot something if you can think of it fast you'll be okay.

i don't want to sound harsh, but if it has happen many times, why haven't you said to her that she needs to ask if you're done with your assessment, or wait until you tell her you're done to correctly give you your earned grade? of tell her, i was going for that next then you jumped in. . . have you said anything to her for jumping in like that and assuming you were done?

Love that show!!

awesome story! thanks for sharing, you have a good-sweet heart! god bless you, chapis

congrats on getting the job. i would email her your resignation as well as giving one to hr and another one to your nm (mail it in-or something) but make sure she gets it, but if hr has a copy they'll put that in your file and it will be in your record that you did give a two week notice. best wishes.

you're still young, and if you're willing to do the hard work only time will tell if you can. but if you want it bad enough, go for it, at least if it doesn't work out you can always say, i gave it all! besh wishes.

you'll be fine, there are quite a few ladies in my program your age and older. keep going and make them proud! wish you well
