I could have written your post myself. I have been out of orientation for almost 2 months now, and I'm constantly late charting. I make mistakes and spend the nights beating myself up. Charge nurses are nice to me, but I walk around waiting for the...

I worked extremely hard to be top of my class in hopes to be hired into my local hospital' s small ICU. I was not a hospital scholarship student (those took priority in the hiring process) but I did end up getting the only GN position available at th...

Thank you. You really got the "sentiment" of my post. I will have to look at my contract to tell you exactly what it says.

I'll be ok. Im half way thru my shift and so far so good. I hate that my pts are not on constant monitors though!! but I'll get used to it. btw, I'm having lunch on time for he 1st time EVER!! Haha

Yes, I do have a signed contract.

Thx, and I agree. I am very thankful I have a job, don't get me wrong. And I'm glad I was placed in ICC. It was a shock to learn though, that the unit, shift, and education (all part of my contract) that I was promised are not happening any time soon...

Thanks!! That's the plan!! :)

Thanks brandy1017. I know you are right. I guess i just had my "fav toy" taken away, had a pitty party, and i think im almost over it. I will survive n learn from it. I thank everyone's posts who were supportive, empathetic and allowed me the luxury ...

Thank you for your sympathy!!! I'm now calling the cc course instructor and inquiring about a waiting list/new class expected schedule.

Thx! I do feel cheated, but I'm trying not to point any fingers.

Thank you for your input. The scheduling error was made by the larger hospital that my hospital partners with cuz we don't offer the course. Policy mandates that ICU RNs attend the course, I want to think my manager was caught in between a rock n a h...

Thx! I understand I (as every new RN) can only benefit from experience. I think I'm just feeling bad cuz I workwd extremwly hard to land my dream job and it slipped thru my fingers... Just one of those things... Life goes on though. :)

Thank you for your response!! ICC is a step down from ICU, mainly pts coming back from the cath lab or with cardiac issues with drips, no vents, 4 pts/RN. I was hired to work ICU, mostly vented pts, 2pts/RN, day shift. I turned down other jobs to get...

Not necessarily. They do what they can. Plus the website was under maintenance a couple of weeks ago. So you never know...

Hi! My results were posted in jut over 48 hrs. But some of my friend's waited up to 10 days.

It did for me.

@Anne36Make sure that on the bottom right it says that result are successfully delivered, that's your cue that you can do the PVT. Don't panick yet.

YOU PASSED!

The PVT IS real, stop stressing, and go celebrate!! My friend's name didn't show up on the BON for over 1 week, mine was there in 2 days, so you never know when it will be updated, but if you got the good pop up, you are good to go!! I promise! I jus...

@ Jayboyrobot: You are correct! Pearsons still says my results are not available, but my license is active on the FL Board of Nursing, that's how I know I passed...

My name is on the FL BON!! I'm officially an RN!! Woot woot!!!!

My name is on the FL BON!! I'm officially an RN!! Woot woot!!!!

I studies like heck all day the day before. I was told not to, but I know myself n I just had to. I'm glad I did...

You are never gonna feel ready. Just schedule it, study every day n do the beat you can. The longer you wait, the worse it will be. Statistics have shown that the longer a new grad waits to test, the lower he/she will score.

I just got hired at our local little hospital ICU III as a GN, fresh out is school! Heck, I took my NCLEX yesterday!! I'll have 12 weeks orientation with the option to extend and I am shaking in my cowgirl boots!! Please, ask your manager about the p...
