  1. United States University (USU) FNP

    I'm more just mad that our school is not doing what they said they would do. That's pretty much it. I think people should just be aware before they invest in this program. Thank you all for your offers of help. I'm sure I'll figure it out.
  2. United States University (USU) FNP

    Yes I think it is important students know this up front. If had known it would be this difficult, I would have reconsidered my decision to go to this school. The one MD I am precepting with now mentioned that it is truly a shame this and many other...
  3. United States University (USU) FNP

    Same here, they just keep looking. They have some form for you to fill out on maybes that they reach out to again but this has not proved useful. They basically encourage you to reach out to everyone you know and keep calling. This is kinda hard wh...
  4. United States University (USU) FNP

    Has anyone delayed their program due to no preceptors being available? I am supposed to be starting my second clinical rotation in March and haven't been able to secure anyone. I feel like our school does not help us at all and I'm really frustrated...
  5. VA clinic

    Hi I need some advice. I had an interview today with a VA clinic operated by Valor healthcare. Has anyone worked for them? I have three years experience in the hospital mainly tele and medsurg. I know I don't want to work in the hospital forever and...
  6. VA clinic

    I know Dawn I feel the same way. I feel like some people will look down on me if I work outside a hospital but we have to do what makes us happy. If we never try we will never know if we will like it more than the hospital. You should definitely appl...
  7. VA clinic

    Great thanks so much for the reply! Hopefully I get an offer.
  8. Do you think about...

    We had this admit come up from ER. She mentions that she has shingles. This is after she touches our arms to say thank you for random things and any time we are near. After we are aware she has shingles she continues to touch us out of gratitude. I g...
  9. How to deal with mean old men

    I was wondering what I should have done in this situation. It was start of night shift and I heard about this very demanding guy who was being really rude. The day nurse had two patients like this and was at wits end. I noticed his call light was on ...

  11. How to deal with mean old men

    Thanks so much for the great replies!!
  12. How to deal with mean old men

    He said he's a pharmacist and people are always yelling at him when waiting in line at CVS. I think he was dying for his turn to complain haha.
  13. ? To Hosp Managers

    Maybe you could eventually get something per diem in the hospital? I would keep the public health job especially if you enjoy it.
  14. yes, another night shift post.

    It doesn't hurt to tell your manager that you would like a day shift position if it becomes available. You might be required to put in six months at that shift (that's our hospital requirement) but they might have something come open and they would p...
  15. Has anyone done this?

    No I've never done that but that's a good idea haha.
  16. Nurses eat their young?

    On my second day of orientation as a new grad, the nurse (who showed up 20 minutes late for report btw) said I would be taking care of all five patients and said "you can do it don't worry" and then proceeded to ditch me for most of the shift. I was ...
  17. Switching from Night Shift to Day Shift

    I am wondering the same thing right now. I have worked nights for two years. You would think you would get used to it but my tummy troubles have gotten worse and my energy level is getting worse. Plus I feel grumpy a lot. I have talked to people who ...
  18. NCLEX

    Hurst worked for me!! I also got a book of just straight question and answers. Go through as many questions as you can!!
  19. Where to go from med surg

    Hi everybody, I have been a med surg nurse for almost 2 years. I have enjoyed the experience but I know that med surg is something I don't want to do for the rest of my career. I used to think I wanted to do ICU but I'm almost afraid to go to a highe...
  20. Do I take this job?

    Thanks so much for your reply. I don't have a husband (only boyfriend), no kids, I think it would be four or five days a week I don't remember. Maybe I could request working longer shifts for 3 or 4 days a week. Thanks again.
  21. Do I take this job?

    Hello, I have worked in Med-Surg for about 2 years now. I know I don't want to do Med-Surg forever. I interviewed for this outpatient surgery position a year ago and even shadowed there and they ended up canceling the position. I was really bummed be...
  22. Love for med surg

    Med-surg is a great place to start you really get to see a little of everything.
  23. Why do doctors do this to me?

    I hate this too make me feel like a peon nobody.
  24. pain management/pt upset

    I'm so sorry what a horrible situation. People can be so unreasonable at times. I think he was just majorly misunderstanding you. I don't understand how his pain wasn't really addressed before. I mean you always start with oral meds and then give IV ...
  25. What is your favorite part of your job?

    You really get your prioritization down in med-surg and sometimes patients really open up to you which is great.
