  1. Horrible unit culture ..lost and confused!!

    You are making the right choice!!! Give them 2 weeks but they'd be stupid to keep you in orientation that long. Then again they haven't proven themselves to be smart:***:
  2. Horrible unit culture ..lost and confused!!

    Oh, yeah. The funny thing is, I bet they wonder why they have so much trouble with staff retention
  3. Horrible unit culture ..lost and confused!!

    Nah, don't bother...it sounds like the little stinker has it out for you for some reason (seems to think L&D is only for "special" people who don't make mistakes...like herself?). That type of person will either get you fired or make life hell un...
  4. Horrible unit culture ..lost and confused!!

    OMG ruuuuuuuun! Sounds like you just got a job in Hell. Unless you enjoy working with obnoxious brats, RUN back to your previous job! The bleach wipes...Jesus! How bout your ex preceptor just roll on the floor and cry about the damn things? Buh-bye!
  5. Are there any psych LPN's?

    Never say no to a free college education :) All of the mental health hospitals in my area (government and private) hire LPNs. The pay may be lower than an RN BUT you don't have to pay back any student loans. So:w00t:
  6. scared sick....literally....need some advice here stat!

    :redlight:I agree with peaches, please contact your board of nursing today, here is where you can find the phone number for your local board: https://www.ncsbn.org/contactbon.htm
  7. scared sick....literally....need some advice here stat!

    wow, that sounds very scary! since the management does not seem to be responsive, i would contact the state board of nursing asap and provide clear details of what you have described here. it sounds like this nurse may be suffering complications from...
  8. How Long...?

    Hello, I have a question: once background and reference checks are completed on applicants, how long does it usually take for a manager to make a "final decision" and give the good news to the lucky applicant? Also: when someone is offerd a position...
  9. New Grad RN looking for psych position- ANYWHERE!!

    Suddenly I have a strong urge to move to NC
  10. DID I get the JOB?

    :yelclap::yelclap::yelclap:
  11. How Long...?

    Anybody? The reason I ask is because I was told a week ago that all checks were completed and that they were "very close" to a decision, and the silence of the phone... is sooooo painful
  12. Yeah, that is a really awful feeling... I work so hard to prepare for my interviews, studying about the company, etc., and to see that look... makes me feel very, very small :uhoh21: And, yeah, had the same experience with the interviewer recommendin...
  13. Oi. As for the following: YES and YES, these have happened to me! One time I had an interview where the DON was not notified who she was about to interview- she took one look at my resume (a new grad resume) and her face just felllll. She asked me ...
  14. Salary offered seems too low

    I would definately take the job at $18/hr, since the alternative is making $0/hr without the job- not to mention, you will probably be eligible for raises after being with the company for awhile. If you work there for a year or more and you find that...
  15. Applied for jobs for 3 months!!

    Actually, that sound fairly normal for this economy. It's not that you're doing anything "wrong" necessarily, it just means that the job market is fairly cold. You could try applying to more diverse locations, like your local government website (ofte...
  16. Child/Adolescent Psych Interview!!!

    Fingers crossed :)
  17. DID I get the JOB?

    *hugs* It's a hard wait, I know! Stay strong!!! :redpinkhe
  18. Appropriate Response

    Hello all, I have a question- while I was away on an interview one of the nurse recruiters from another hospital called. My roomate answered and told them that I was not available to talk because I was at an interview. I have since called the recruit...
  19. Looking for Psych Reference (Non-textbook)

    Here's one I found: Psychnotes: Nurse's Clinical Pocket Guide by Pederson. I found an online bookstore that allowed me to rent the book free for 7 days on my eReader.
  20. Are doctor offices likely to hire new grad RNs?

    It depends on the office. Some will hire new RNs, and some are looking for nurses with 5+ years of experience. It really depends on the number of nurses in the clinic, the workload of the clinic and the job responsibilities the RN will be expected to...
  21. Baffled

    Wow Caregiver1977, I don't think I could put up with a husband like that! Having to prompt him like a teenager just to get him to go to work in the morning? Even when he's out of state? Wow. You're some type of saint
  22. Just wanted to share my horrible interview experience

    After that interview I would NOT work there, even if he cleared me for a second interview! It was disrespectful, and you know he would love to chew you up and spit you out for fun. I WOULD call his boss and explain the situation, and why you will hav...
  23. DNR pet peeve

    TothepointeLVN, I always wondered why some inpatient hospices require ACLS certification. I thought, "ACLS... for hospice?!?" But apparently a DNR is not required for admission into the inpatient hospice programs.
  24. may graduate thinking about going into LTC any advice?

    Definately get hold of staff in any place you are thinking of working and *ask them* what the work conditions are like. How is the management? Does the workplace really seem to *care* about the well-being of the residents? How are staff treated? Is s...
