  1. At Last!

    Tina, RN replied to gladiola's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hooray! I'm so happy for you. Good luck on your first day, and with your new job! Enjoy signing your name with your credentials.

  2. nurse navigator role

    Tina, RN replied to rnheart's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just returning to the workforce as a RN. I've never heard of a "nurse navigator" before. What is it,

  3. Little Miss Know-It-All ?

    Tina, RN replied to NamasteNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good for you! I would never sign for something I didn't personally give... To me, it sounds like the agency burse feels threatened by you. Stick to your guns!

  4. a year after graduation i'm finally hired....

    Tina, RN replied to shippoRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats on landing a job! :) I agree with Calliotter3. Get a little notebook, and write little notes for yourself on important policies/procedures at your facility. I'd also recommed getting one of...

  5. The 1st check as an rn....yay!!! Or nay!!

    Tina, RN replied to Serrano2886's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Very, very interesting thread! Where you live has such a huge impact on your pay... I'm in NY, so the hourly rates are pretty high, but so are taxes, houses, and everything else.

  6. Shorter orientation than I thought... what to do?

    Tina, RN replied to Newbee24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree completely with HouTx! Plus, keep in mind that even when you're off of orientation, you can still ask plenty of questions if you need to. I think you'll do great!

  7. Was told I'd have a 2nd interview... no call

    Tina, RN replied to Hopscotch81's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good

  8. In a New Grad Program seeking to apply for another

    Tina, RN replied to ChocoRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If I were you, I'd definitely try my best to stick it out with the hospital you have already been accepted to. After a year, you can always look elsewhere... Best

  9. Are you buying individual malpractice insurance?

    Tina, RN replied to NoblePath's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have my own malpractice insurance, too. I think it's best to have

  10. I just don't know if nursing is really for me

    Tina, RN replied to bumLVN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you should give it a little more time. Maybe it's direct, bedside patient care that you don't like? There are so many other options in nursing. How about Case Management, or school nursing?...

  11. So today was my job interview...Update

    Tina, RN replied to Prado's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good luck to you! I hope you get the job.

  12. Let's introduce ourselves...

    Tina, RN replied to pedi-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm Tina! I graduated from a BSN program in 1998. I worked as a bedside nurse for about 3 years and then as a Case Manager for about 3 years. I stopped working to be a stay-at-home-mom to my children,...

  13. New Grads, enough complaints about preceptors.

    Tina, RN replied to Katie5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I do agree that while on orientation, nurses should seek out additional learning experiences. I recently completed an RN refresher course. Prior to that, I had not done bedside nursing in almost 7...

  14. Looking to re-enter the workforce!

    Tina, RN posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hello, everyone! I just joined today, and have been enjoying reading through the posts. I am a RN living in NY. I graduated nursing school in 1998, and began working in a very busy hospital. It was a...
