  1. Anyone an ELEMENTARY TEACHER turned NURSE?

    nursedolphin replied to Cloudydayz's topic in Nursing Career

    I was an elementary school counselor and made the jump to nursing. Unlike a teacher, I would of been a counselor until I retired with 3 options: elementary, junior or high school vs a teacher can...

  2. contract

    nursedolphin replied to STL2008, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I went through this....just look for my previous post. I received some nice posts but overall, I had mean posts. I signed a contract and HATED the job after a few weeks. A lot of posts asked how I...

  3. What should I have done differently?

    nursedolphin replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for your responses!! I think on Monday I will def march myself in and see what I can do. I hope my schedule will change in a few months. As for my internship, I get paid my hourly...

  4. What should I have done differently?

    nursedolphin posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I signed a 15 month contract as a new graduate nurse and a few weeks into the job, I hate it. I did not know about the commitment during the interview. My question is: has anyone NOT signed the...

  5. Full time vs. per diem

    nursedolphin replied to apey08's topic in General Nursing

    Is your inside person a hiring manager that makes the final decision? I cannot tell you the number of times I thought a job was going to work out.....please be careful and do not give up a FT job....

  6. PLEASE i need help! I failed Nclex 5 times!!!

    nursedolphin replied to 7Laquisha's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I really liked Hurst review. They have a great class, plus on line test banks. I found the Hurst questions VERY similar to the NCLEX questions. You can do it :) Good

    nursedolphin replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks luvmyhubbybunche and mojitos2go! I would love to run. This teaches me a great lesson. Money never exchanged hands :) I will not mention prorate when and if I resign but use it as a backup plan....

  8. What should I have done differently?

    nursedolphin replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Chin Up, your awesome! The one line basically just stated that the employee would have to remain in the position for one year after the completion of the internship, otherwise the employee would have...

    nursedolphin replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    FancypantsRN, ChinUp and Onaclear day - you are all awesome!! Thank you so much. I feel waaay better. There is not a critical care course, 12 lead EKG just education classes which I have yet to...

  10. What should I have done differently?

    nursedolphin replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Yup. After I finish the internship (3 months) I have to stay a year so I have to be employed there for 15 months. It is sooo frustrating. I got myself into a pickle. The money is not a signing bonus...

  11. What should I have done differently?

    nursedolphin replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Chinup. LOL about your post...I posted a question if I can break the contract and got eaten alive. You are correct-I do have 90 days probation. I am afraid to mention anything because 15 months...

    nursedolphin posted a topic in General Nursing

    Good Morning, I am having an issue at my new job. I signed a year contract after the completion of my internship-so basically I have to stay for 15 months because the internship is 3 months. On April...

  15. What should I have done differently?

    nursedolphin replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    The unit is so unprofessional. I was hired to work in a different area/population and was placed into this unit. I would rather be unemployed than work with awful co-workers, back stabbers, awful work...

  16. Contract Issue

    nursedolphin replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone. I reread the contract and it did not state the unit. So I guess I am stuck. That was a great suggestion to take the contract home and read it. I wish I would of done

  17. Med Surg or ER for New Grad

    nursedolphin replied to BABYJADE06's topic in Nursing Career

    Congratulations on your extern position! I do not believe that new graduate nurses need to start out in med/surg. If you are interested in the ER, I think it would be great to start off learning how...

  18. Contract Issue

    nursedolphin replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    I totally regret signing. The contract was not mentioned in the interview so when I went in for the Employee health/benefits/physical, I had to meet with HR. It was so on the spot and awkward. I have...

  19. Which state is better to work and live in Arizona or Florida??

    nursedolphin replied to sungrl01's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on your offers! That is so exciting. Where in FL? We have a second home on the gulf side and I would move there in a heartbeat. Real estate in FL has not hit rock bottom yet and it is soooo...

  20. Contract Issue

    nursedolphin replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everyone for you thoughts and opinions. I never took the $10,000 as a signing bonus-it is the amount of money the hospital spends to train new grads. I will complete the internship on July...
