  1. How'd you get your job?

    NoblePath replied to dixiebelleRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did a summer internship all over the hospital the summer before I graduated. I than worked as a PRN student nurse/tech on a floor that I knew hired new grads the previous year and I made sure I was...

  2. Get fired or resign from new grad program

    NoblePath replied to Aurora21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So i'm curious, what type of setting do you work in? It sounds like it's acute care from the length of orientation, but what happened to the other people who were involved, pharmacy, the nurse who...

  3. Where Can I Find / Buy Port Flushing Supplies

    NoblePath replied to Antiqueairways's topic in Oncology

    Oh I forgot to mention that you should tell your Doctor about these concerns and maybe they can have a nurse train you? My mom flushed my little sister's port at home but was trained by a

  4. IV push concerns

    NoblePath replied to eyeball's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a new grad also but I think that makes no sense to do a slow IV push when you stop the infusion because the med would sit between there and their vein and than when you turn the fluids back on it...

  5. Does this happen to you?

    NoblePath posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been having trouble sleeping because in my dreams I'm at work and I forgot something huge. I will remember tiny little things that I didn't do or something and it makes my sleep quality crap. I...

    NoblePath replied to Antiqueairways's topic in Oncology

    It looks like a website called allegromedical has huber needles, saline and heparin flushes for total of $150. This includes 12 needles, 30 syringes with saline and 30 syringes with heparin. It looks...

  7. New Grad & New Oncology Nurse!

    NoblePath replied to flygirls2's topic in Oncology

    I'm a new nurse who has been working oncology since May and did an internship for a year as a student nurse in oncology and I think the best parts are that the vast majority of the families really...

  8. Does this happen to you?

    NoblePath replied to NoblePath's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one. This has improved a bit since I've not been sleeping immediately after getting off my night shift, but then I have trouble falling and staying

  9. Becoming an Army Nurse

    NoblePath replied to bpjb's topic in General Nursing

    If you haven't started college yet than I'd recommend finding a college with an army ROTC program. That way you can get your school paid for and a monthly stipend and go in as an officer. You can't be...

  10. First Job

    NoblePath replied to kni0084's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new nurse (May grad) in oncology and worked on the unit as an intern for a year. I'd say that make sure you are on good terms with the family. On my unit, they are mostly patients who are at the...

  11. Quick ques. for recent new grads...

    NoblePath replied to gaspasser2b's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Where I'm at, everyone had to apply by late January or early February if you were a May grad, and we heard if we were hired by mid March. We started orientation in mid May one week after graduation,...

  12. When did you start applying?

    NoblePath replied to Lovelymo79's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here we have a nurse residency which is kind of like an internship because you're still supervised but it's aimed more towards orientation so that when you do pass your boards it won't be long before...

  13. When did you start applying?

    NoblePath replied to Lovelymo79's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Personally, I'd ask the recruiters, because where my friend got a job they wouldn't even glance at your application unless it was within three months of graduating but the hospitals where we went to...

  14. Are you buying individual malpractice insurance?

    NoblePath posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi, I'm a new member, but I've read this forum numerous times. I just graduated and started a new job in Oncology. I bought malpractice insurance for $54 a year but it seems a lot of my fellow grads...

  15. Are you buying individual malpractice insurance?

    NoblePath replied to NoblePath's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So, I thought this would be an interesting thing to add to my previous post. I am currently doing my nurse residency, taking my board exam later today, but anyway I am basically doing orientation with...

  16. CNA experience

    NoblePath replied to seek4hope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know it doesn't work this way everywhere. But here, after your first rotation in clinical you can apply for a job as a nurse extern which is mainly tech work. Than during the summer before your...

  17. CNA experience

    NoblePath replied to seek4hope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had this experience at the beginning of college (I just graduated with a BSN degree) and I think it helped me to get a nurse extern position after I started nursing classes. I would recommend going...

  18. Are you buying individual malpractice insurance?

    NoblePath replied to NoblePath's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks to everyone who replied, I'm glad I bought the insurance. I didn't feel like it was my place to say anything to my fellow grads who seemed to buy into the idea of not having it. We were told it...
