  1. What do you think of 11 am- 7 pm shift?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like I would take anything now than spending my nights working. I have been doing 7p-7a for 3.5 years, and I hate it. I have done it for too long for a person who is not made up for night...

  2. What do you think of 11 am- 7 pm shift?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    I am also single with no kids. I also thought about the admissions. But, it can be the other way too. I might take some people's workload, so they can get the admissions. Or I may be the first to get...

  3. NICU vs MedSurg

    Seas replied to migo1234's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just because a job is hard to find doesn't make it a right choice for everybody. Don't go into an area where you will be miserable. Who cares if it is hard to find if you don't like it for yourself?...

  4. NICU vs Med Surg

    Seas replied to applepie2013's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    What do you want to do? Where do you want to work? NICU and Med-surg are completely different areas. You must be toward either one of those. I don't believe one can apply to both positions and feel...

  5. Intimidated new NICU nurse

    Seas posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hello everybody, I am a RN with 3 years of nursing experience. Half of it in surgical telemetry, and the last half of it in mother/baby. I have been thinking about going into NICU for about 2 years,...

  6. thermoregulation in the neonate

    Seas replied to cyndbirn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Breaking the latch and stopping the breastfeeding for a bath is a very wrong practice and a big no no. At least in my hospital, you would get a warning from the manager if this was complained by mom....

  7. Intimidated new NICU nurse

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I appreciate all the comments and advice. Thank you all! I feel better now

  8. Intimidated new NICU nurse

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am not a new grad. I have almost 3.5 years of experience. But we do have many new grads starting in the NICU. This is in KY. It is still very competitive and hard to get into. You may have to start...

  9. Intimidated new NICU nurse

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you all. I had my first shift in the unit the other day. My preceptor was satisfied with me; she liked that I was very eager to learn it all. I just don't want to miss anything. I am doing...

  10. L&d or critical care to get in NICU

    Seas replied to hilary717's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I would also say L&D. You will get familiar with babies and will have NRP. Plus, you will be an internal candidate once you apply which will be an advantage for you. You can better get a hold of...

  11. If you didn't start in NICU

    Seas replied to Satori77's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I did 1.5 year in surgical telemetry and 1.5 year in mother/baby. I am starting in a level IV NICU next month. Both of my experiences helped me get hired. I don't know how it will be once I start my...

  12. Experience vs. No Experience

    Seas replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I thought she would be smart enough to know that job market is tough, and most people don't get to start in their dream unit. She could take the ortho job offer, make experience and connections there,...

  13. Would you deliver your baby at your place of employment?

    Seas replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I work PP. So, I would not prefer to be there as a pp patient, because I don't want my coworkers seeing my private, doing fundal checks, seeing my chart and stuff. I would be embarrassed when I was...

  14. Please critique my Cover Letter been rejected too many times

    Seas replied to ICUNightAngel's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Way to long to read. I even had a challenge reading it. I can't imagine a manager, reading tons of cover letters, would want to read this long of a cover letter. Keep it short, include the essential...

  15. this is why people still think there's a nursing shortage!

    Seas replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    I am in grad school to earn my MSN. Every nursing book that I have read ever since ADN nursing school states that there is a nursing shortage. And I do see that there is a shortage for BSN and higher...

  16. Experienced in 2 specialties. What are my chances for NICU?

    Seas posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hello everybody, I have 1.5 year of surgical telemetry straight out of nursing school, and 1 year of mother baby experience after that. I plan to apply and hopefully switch to NICU. I have my BSN and...

  17. Have to start in L&D first before post-partum??

    Seas replied to Cls62011's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think they would go on to the next candidate who has no issues getting the position they need someone in. Saying such a thing doesn't sound favorable. I would recommend that apply for pp

  18. Telemetry to mother baby unit

    Seas replied to TeleRN128's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I do mother/baby after telemetry too. Just tell them you are very interested in learning and doing this. That enthusiasm amazed my manager and she hired

  19. Experienced RN moving to CA, chances for finding a job here?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in California Nursing

    Thank you very much Meriwhen. You sure provided great guidance. I will look into those

  20. I complained my preceptor!!

    Seas replied to jenrak's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What I meant is that the administration could have done something and acted like they found that out through observation or family complaint, etc rather than a new employee complaint. But if you have...

  21. I complained my preceptor!!

    Seas replied to jenrak's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You definitely did the right thing. But what I don't understand is why this was made known to everybody in the facility. They could have suspended her without letting everybody know that YOU reported...

  22. What was your GPA when you were accepted into the BSN program?

    Seas replied to supermom.of.3's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    4.0

  23. So why even bother with getting an RN?

    Seas replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a low quality place to

  24. Specialty...how did you decide?

    Seas replied to akilah530's topic in General Students

    I just fell in love with it during clinicals. You have plenty of time to

  25. GRADUATED!!! Do I call myself RN yet?

    Seas replied to Nurse-84's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nobody graduates as a Registered
