Miss Kisha

Short answer, Yes. Stay encouraged. I graduated May 2010 and I still have class mates that are still job hunting. Look in the little towns outside major areas, Huntsville, madisonville, kingwood, etc. Hang in there

No! Her friends r stirring the **** pot. We all make mistakes, you already know, people, even sister people don't want things broadcasted. It is/was her story to share. Gastric Byp, sure that as well as her struggle may be a touch subject. Make ...

I don't want to be a stinker but here it goes, if we want to be compliant with the lisc orgs that keep hospitals open, follow the nurse practice act. Too many folks forget to protect their liscence and delegate when we shouldn't. CYA

Hello there, I just started in a hospital designed for the geriatric psych pop and I would appreciate anything you are willing to share/pass along. Don't know how to PM as I'm using a mobile device but my email is on my profile.

I hear you. I'm in Texas in a busy city and there is nurse saturation. Those working as a LVN is experience so that's good for that poster. I was a new grad in May 2010 and I was beginning to think, what have I done wrong, us there a curse word in...

Two of those cheap walmart type watches with the second hand.

Love the Uniball Jetstream as well. My new friend is an Office Max brand. The TūL in fine. I write hard and it can handle it and it's fine so can fit in those damned Medicare forms with little boxes but leaves a line that's legible. It's now my fi...

All nursing is real nursing. Sure differnt skill sets but psych nursing IS real nursing. Dont buy into the craziness that just because you did not land an intern position at a major hospital that you will be undesired. Some markets are really satu...

Hey y'all, I'm in a similiar boat but I'm lovin it. The agency I'm with says they don't put newbies anywhere alone. I started out in a foster home that is actually serviced by two different agencies. 4 sweet kiddies and usually 3 nurses max and th...

Pray for that baby and don't go. If what you say is true, then heck no tell the agency you will not go back there, it's not a safe environment for you.

Glad I am where I am, my hourly is more than my counterparts I graduated with. I'm with a really good, Christian based( yeah I never heard of it before, either) company. Not exactly the same exp. as my friends in the hospital but my house with my k...

Sure we treat patients not equipment but if you show up and med equip isn't operational, the agency should know!! That "sweetie" needs clean trach sounds and needs a pulse ox. Mom is trippin' but whatever. Hope it works out.

Oh my goodness, that's awesome. I hope it is going well for you. Miss Kisha

To be honest, not very promising for a new grad. It was pretty, though. Many of the internships end up going to the people that already work there as student PCA type thing. After the internships are gone to those on staff, there may be only a hand...

A former Teach for America Corp member. Taught students of all ages and abilities. Still in contact with many. The way I used to teach, when the bell rang, I still had more to do. Nursing is actually a natural bridge from education. I live caring...

Working the private duty peds and love it! Was supposed to be just a "until I get a "real" job thing" but I'm enjoying it, and this IS a REAL job. Sure only one day a week but I'm in a nice situation, group home, so never alone. Like a mini unit...

Not here :-(. I did go to the job fair for mem Hermann, in the galleria area, there is a St. Lukes event on the 4th of Dec. Would like more new nurse luv but in due time, I guess. We are NOT alone, saw many like us in the same position. Hang in th...

Thank You for the goot pointers. BTW - There is a Houston North West recruitment event tomorrow (Th 11/11) and a memorial hermann recruitment event on Nov 20th. hang in there!!! I also began volunteering with a hospice org. LUV IT, besides I't hard ...

I can't figure out how to PM you but I want to know which home health group u r with? If you don't wish to share, I understand. Miss K.

So SimplyMe-well, I heard from Ben Taub, via email, so you already know, no interview. I wish you well. Cypress - still no word but I did apply for the MedSurg dept so.... Gonna enjoy my weekend (after a short pity party). I have a part time home h...

Wait for it...... Still no word from Cypress or Ben Taub (SoSimply)???

My goodness, No word yet from Cypress Fairbanks???

I only, well not only!! I have an ADN as well - may 2010, but I apply anyway! I have a BA in another field but.... I actually pulled some info today to initiate the app. process for Texas Women's Univ. I so don't want this to loom over my head this...

Check TMH - Methodist, open position

Oh Boy, I think I have the watched pot syndrome, ya know the one that takes forever to boil. I too called last week and it was explained that NICU calls were made. I applied for Med/Surg and she said some time this week. Well, It's a job looking f...
