3. Being a preceptor.

   Jwin10 replied to CardiacDork's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   My personality is laid back and calm. I find that it helps with new RNs. They are scared, nervous, excited and overwhelmed all at the same time. Having an excitable preceptor does not lend itself well...

   Jwin10 replied to NewSSURN's topic in General Nursing

   Read the job requirements for the job posted and then tailor each resume to that job. Use the buzzwords these places are looking for, such as "Patient satisfaction", etc. I have a main resume and then...

   I was 37. I'm 43 now. I've been a nurse for 4 years and quite happy I made a career change. It was challenging for sure as I had 3 small kids at home and a husband who was deployed for some of that...

9. Quitting a job

   Jwin10 replied to nurseypants328's topic in General Nursing

   Notice is always necessary regardless of how often you work or how long you've been there. It's the right thing to do. Additionally you may be counted on for shifts in the future and to just up and...

10. Is it better to get an ADN or BSN?

    Jwin10 replied to Irena67's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Jwin10 replied to Live..&..Learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So many typos! So sorry!

    Jwin10 replied to Live..&..Learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the main issue is that the preceptor is not an experienced RN herself. Had OP been placed with a more seasoned nurse, she would have known how to handle, or even anticipate new grads questions...
