I applied to hospitals, with the impression I was competing with new nurse graduates, later to be rejected and told the positions were being filled with more experienced individuals. wHaaaaa! I finally was offered a nurse position with a Nursing hom...

I agree with the prior posts. I do not know what your situation. There is a difference in telling the new employer details of documented incidences, than just making stuff up. If it is the former, then there is nothing you can do.

Hmmmm. I have never had this experience. Everyone says: " NOT to burn bridges." I am not sure what this says about your new DON, and if this new place is all that it is suppose to be. I would expect any employer to praise and wish their future emp...

I can understand your issue. They may be simply verifying the physician's original order. Just in case, an error has occurred in transcription:coollook: by whomever: doctor, nurse, pharmacist.....

No...

Actually, she is correct. The woman is not the one refusing, but the husband is. I am not sure why the UM has to be so hard*** to write people up. It is actually a teaching moment.

This is not unusual. I would assume you would be with another nurse, in order to take care of those 25 patients. You will need to be able to prioritize, and do good spot assessments. Pay attention to their diagnosis, and assess accordingly. Good ...

The main reason why you might find yourself procrastinating is due to the fact that you all ready made your mind up you are going to fail. I recommend you approach the essay differently. You should seek assistance from experts. If you do not have ...

LOL....Lordy, Lordy!

I am sorry you are going through this! I know from my past experience, the worse part is being away from the work place. My bad days seemed to happen over the week-end, or the last day of my three. The more the mind is away, the worse my brain had...

I had a teacher back in elementary school who who said: "Look at mistakes as a learning experiences." These are little mistakes, and you are a smart and gifted individual who will be able to refine your assessment and documentation to address these...

You will need to check with your BON of your individual state. I am from Indiana, the required time stated by the BON is 90 days.

Well, I heard the best way to get motivated, conscientious, integrity, independent, nurturing, and team building individuals: Is to pay for it! Stop paying crap wages, which only attracts substandard employees.

First, how do you define "professional?"

I believe you are being overly critical. I also believe you are arrogant. Medical/Surgical usually has stable patients, so they are not use to the initial steps. I noticed you have 6 months of experience(assuming this is ICU), which makes you an exp...

I feel your pain... I am waiting to hear word from my last interview experience.

I am sorry you are going through this crap! It sounds like you are doing all you can do now with sending out the applications. This should take some of the pressure off, just knowing their is a way out of this mess.

LOL!!!!

Most patients I have been involved with know how to read. What part of the country is OP from?

I do not know why people have to exaggerate the circumstances to prove their point. 10 patients? What? Really....

I don't know where you have the idea it was suggested it wasn't hard-work. My comments were the for the original post: The young lady believes it is beneath her to work in a Med-Surg., she is too smart for such an area. I think she is arrogant! S...

You have 2 years of experience, and you already have an attitude which screams "burn-out". Why don't you leave, so a new person can take your place.

I am a new graduate too. I think you are very arrogant! Each floor is an opportunity to learn. Apparently, you believe you don't have to concentrate on you nursing skills, so that leaves communication. Communication is an excellent skill set to h...

ED is a place where the pace could be slow, then ridiculously fast depending on the shift. As a new grad, I did not wish to start in the ED. It is a department where one truly needs to have their skill sets down, or at least an exceptional fast lea...
