  6. New nurse OVERWHELMED

    Wow. I can remember feeling this way- even posted my own thread about, "do I REALLY have to do M/S for a year?!?" LOL! I have now been on my MST floor for seven months, and it is SO much better than...
  7. Well, it's not that I'm hiding anything or worried about bad mouthing at all, just would prefer no contact. But I do see what you're saying and would likely have the same reactions if I were doing the...

  9. M/S vs. Office job?

    Asthma/allergy. I did end up to HR in detail and was asked to come for an interview, but the pay was nowhere near enough. It sure sounded like a great job,
  10. If there is another thread on this, you may point it out- but I am also specifically asking for the GA/Atl area. I want to further my education, but would like to just go ahead and do an RN-MSN...

  13. Am I being snotty?

    And AMEN to that. We do not have last names, and if we did I would not have it. In school, they always kept our first/last names on our badges, but we were often encouraged to put tape over our last...
  14. Am I being snotty?

    I don't think it's snotty at all. :) And I am an ADN nurse. That being said, I will tell you that I was taking report from a coworker the other evening, and she made a comment about, "I don't know...
  15. So I am a new grad working on the floor at a small local hospital. I am a week away from finishing orientation, and I'm already ready to get out! I can't decide if it's really that I don't enjoy m/s,...

    Wow great post jjjoy,
  18. A year of Med/Surg... Seriously?

    Peds . And thanks for your reply! I will keep on keeping on and try to remember the good things.. I do get some great patients mixed in who are very grateful and complimentary of the work I do, I have...
  20. A year of Med/Surg... Seriously?

    Yeah I guess you're right about the quitting early thing. Honestly, with my current schedule I could pull it off to do a PT position somewhere else, but that may not work out the way I picture, lol....
  21. are you weak in pharma but passed?

    Very weak in pharm; I also did not have a pharm class during school. I passed with 75 questions. I think it just depends on the questions you are "thrown" from the pool. Good luck to
  22. Just took Kaplan Diagnostic...yikes!!
