3. not what I bargained for

   luvmydogs84 replied to kni0084's topic in General Nursing

   Yes it is normal, then again I work at a nursing home. I have up to 38 "patients" (residents) to myself. It's impossible to care for all of them properly. I don't think I can do it anymore to be honest... Good luck to you

8. Should I take this position?

   luvmydogs84 replied to luvmydogs84's topic in General Nursing

   Hello, I may sound like a broken record but I've seen so many threads about new grads not being able to find jobs. I just graduated in May, took NCLEX mid July, and received my license mid August. I started applying to hospitals around my area as so...
