    caramello replied to Datu's topic in General Nursing

    how new are you? I'm reaching a year of nursing practice and trust me, that feeling goes away! Like a PP said, school is a foundation, but most of your learning is actually done on the floor!!! We all...

    caramello replied to madfowl's topic in General Nursing

    yea... there's a million and one reasons people decide to leave their current unit. Mention something about wanting to broaden horizons, or learn a new field, or you want to challenge yourself a...

  3. Will never write order again w/o permission from doc

    caramello replied to *Posh*'s topic in General Nursing

    Wow... I don't write orders without talking to the dr first, no matter how late. I mean, its not really that bad to call anyway. Just make sure you're prepared "Sorry for waking you up, pt has a temp...

  4. your favourite??

    caramello replied to butterfly134's topic in General Nursing

    I love the satisfaction of a good looking, clean dressing that I just changed. I also love wound vacs. There's something so satisfying about turning on the vac and seeing the "low leak" level, haha....

    caramello replied to sunnyazgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that if i just work my 3 nights in a row and knock it out, after that third night I stay up as long as I can, go to bed early that night and flip myself back into a day schedule for the...

  8. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    caramello replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    caramello replied to chuckz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    LOL, yea, mine was like that for a week until I realized I was getting all the same sort of information for each facility... recruiter, contact info, deadline, etc, so why not just stick it into a...

    caramello replied to chuckz's topic in First Year After Licensure

  11. How I Got a Job as a Graduate Nurse

    caramello replied to chuckz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, most applications weren't available until at least March. So I'd put that in my little excel spreadsheet: xxx hospital| Application opens March| Joe Recruiter (123) 456 - 7890 | Spoke to...

  12. How I Got a Job as a Graduate Nurse

    caramello replied to chuckz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Understandable, however, think of how much mommy can provide to her daughter if she were to get that first job and work a year. Not to mention, advances in technology such as a webcamera. If you chose...

  13. How I Got a Job as a Graduate Nurse

    caramello replied to chuckz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh, thats really sad. Sorry, I didn't realize it was like that once you had graduated. It makes sense, but it still sucks. You worked hard for your nursing degree, why NOT stay where you have the...

    caramello replied to chuckz's topic in First Year After Licensure

  16. How I Got a Job as a Graduate Nurse

    caramello replied to chuckz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Or like I said before, show interest. I went to a hospital 500 miles away from where I live since I was in the area, and just met with the recruiter to talk to her about my interest and the program....

  17. How I Got a Job as a Graduate Nurse

    caramello replied to chuckz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    caramello replied to sheronep's topic in Georgia Nursing

  19. New grad from out of state licensing question

    caramello replied to sheronep's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Have you called the GBON? They would tell you that it generally takes about 25 days to endorse an out of state license for a new nurse into GA. They would probably be the best people to talk to about...
