MUSC hospital is a great place to start as a new grad. That was my first nursing job & I learned a lot. They have specific "new grad RN" postings. And back when I was a nurse there, you would...
You can also look at applying at another 4-year university. I went to a solid public university nearby, & as long as you had C's, you were golden. My university gave you a bit more chances for...
Keep your chin up, dear one. If your dream is to be a nurse, continue. I see what you have gone through reminds me a lot of myself. I struggled in school & now am a nurse of 9 years & have...
I've been a nurse for 9 years. I truly love being a nurse! I am having trouble sleeping tonight though. A lot on my mind. I am the facility nurse for my home care hospice. I meet some awesome cg's...
Thank you, Tammy! That was spot on. Since that happened last Friday, I've had a great week. Taken care of some really sweet Patients & families in home care who Have really appreciated me. It...
No my supervisors back me up. This is the 3rd one of our nurses this facility has fired. My supervisors would understand that I wouldn't want to subject myself to this bullying again. It's just sad...
Monday-Friday 8-5 pm with call. That is what I do, and I love it. I haven't worked the weekend on-call position, but I hear that many hours on can be brutal. I think starting in case management as...
I just wanted to encourage y'all who may be frustrated with your nursing jobs, if in hospice or another area. I have been an RN since 2008. Worked 2.5 years in a teaching hospital where I learned...

Awesome to see there are others I can relate to that are nurses with essential tremors. Almost everyday a pt or cg asks "Are you nervous?" I say that I have a hereditary tremor, but it does not...
You can do Hedis chart reviews. It's data collection on your days off & you definitely get to do a lot of sitting! And you get to travel to different doctors office & see different settings...
That sounds like it would go against labor laws! Good luck on your next job, & hopefully your former job will change their ways when they see that they can't keep
Another thing you can do if you have the 3 12's a week schedule is extra work. I do regular extra work on the show Army Wives & even played a nurse at a German military hospital. Very fun!...
I've found that the MBT's work awesome for some people, and some people hate them. I was unfortunately in the second group. They were too hard on my arches. Merrell's work great for me. But we are...
I love my Merrell's. In the store, they are about $90, but I bought mine online for $60. My boyfriend hiked the Appalachian Trail in a pair & he even said his feet hardly hurt. My feet great...
