    ColorfulStethoscope posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello all, I am a new grad RN who landed my first job in a small hospital. I really wanted to work at this hospital because it is small and it is also a teaching hospital, so I figured I was going to...

    ColorfulStethoscope replied to ColorfulStethoscope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you so much, reading your reply made me feel like I actually had a right to feel lost and overwhelmed... I was beginning to think that maybe I was just being a baby and needed to suck it up and...

    ColorfulStethoscope replied to ColorfulStethoscope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't mean to sound like a cry baby, or like I am whining because that is not what I am doing, I guess I am just feeling like I am at a disadvantage and like I was thrown to the wolves without...

    ColorfulStethoscope replied to ColorfulStethoscope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks so much for your kind words, and encouragement. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, and I was prepared for that. But I do think the hospital should have had a few classes teaching us correct...

    ColorfulStethoscope replied to ColorfulStethoscope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ColorfulStethoscope replied to ColorfulStethoscope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the advice. This is my first career and I would fit into the first category you explained. So other than having bad clinical instructors or Nurses I have had to deal with in school, this is...

    ColorfulStethoscope replied to ColorfulStethoscope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was in the OR for my final clinical rotation, and the OR is VERY different from bust floor nursing. In my last semester of nursing I had taken on two pts by myself, but we weren't able to do all of...

    ColorfulStethoscope replied to umharhar's topic in General Nursing

    Be Honest! Yes, tell them you volunteered at the hospital before, and if they ask why you quit, simply say while I was in nursing school it was too hard for my to volunteer and go to school, so I...

  16. Paramedic vs Nurse! Decisions!

    ColorfulStethoscope replied to ConureDelSol's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree, I should have spoke up. I was young and it was my first "big girl" job. Since I was so young and the 2 EMT-B's training me had been there so long, I though speaking up would not have changed...
