Good luck, let us know!

Thank you for this!

Try shadowing someone in each field. You will see what they do day today and be able to ask them many questions and you can decide from there.

If you are looking for FNP, have you looked into Frontier? Its an online school with a min GPA of 3.0 if you have that.

I need to take the GRE and I picked up a review book today. Totally confused on how to study for this! Anyone have any helpful ideas on what you did?

I would love to become an OB nurse, but like others I am having trouble finding the jobs! I would like to keep learning though and wonder if there are any certs I can do, without having any previous experience? I would be studying of course.

Unfortunately, OH and KY are pretty bad if your unexperienced. Have you tried home health or LTC?

Wow, didnt know this existed. Unfortunalely, its only ofr grads within the first year.

Oh goodness, don't worry about doing med calculations! They won't be asking you to do math problems in an interview. I'm assuming your a new grad, so they will expect you not to know very much. But do know why you want to work there,what your strengt...

I have heard Comfort too. From a reality show.

Thank you I did know that these are different, but while we are on it, what CAN they do differently (teaching,jobs?)?

Not to mention none of their business!

Go for it! Use those certifications you've aquired.

Interesting, we dont do Amio here for those types.

As a new grad, they aren't expecting you to know much. Just be yourself and above all professional. I just did a peer interview the other day where a girl said "F-off" in relation to a story about a patient! Know your strenghts and weakness, why you...

Noncomplaince of patients' treatment regimens causing repeat admissions which causes rising healthcare costs.

I know a girl that was just hired as a new grad RN into a unit that she used to work as a secretary over me a 1+ experienced RN. We are both internal employees. Is that discrimination?

OMG, do you work on my unit?! This sounds exactly like the place I work. I feel like this is probably everywhere, the way healthcare is today, it makes it hard to do your job. I miss the "pt centered" healthcare, now its just big business.

Could you get into Peds instead? Then when you try for NICU, you'd have some experience.

I'm the other way around. I never forgot a face, but names I have trouble with.

So, What happened with the job hunt?

Congrats!

I suggest, volunteering. I know it sucks, but call around to places and offer your services. Let them know you are a licensed RN looking to gain experience and can do whatever, vitals,shots,paperwork. Try clinics,schools,volunteer depts of hospitals....

I would think if you already took a drug test, your in! Congrats!

I would not leave an IV push med unattended, but I have seen it done. To note SirJohhny, I walked into a room one night to find an unlabeled syringe attached to a port, half full. I have no idea what it was and day nurse was already gone so I couldn'...
