Hi fellow community, I've held my RN liscense (with a BSN) for a year now. I only have experience in outpatient dialysis clinic. No hospital/acute care once so ever. I have not found a job in the hospital yet. I can barely stand my job now. It's not...

Hi. My nurse manager think we are fools in uniforms on the floor. But it really maybe the other way around. She is egotistic and uses fear tactics. Constantly tossing bizarre threats. She has this unrealistic belief that she owns the floor and is res...

Hi, I am a RN and there is a PCT who seems to want to sabotage everyone. The matter is she does it in a CYA(cover your a$$) kind of way. For instance, she is overly particular and hypercritical about everything. Therefore, she does not know how to as...

Wowww, CompleteUnknown, you have captured the full idea of what I have been dealing with. Exactly! I thought I was going crazy and no one would ever begin to understand the concept of complaining about a CNA who is telling the truth, but reliving her...

Thanks everyone! You all have been very understanding of what I am experiencing. So far, by reading your helpful comments, I do believe my Nurse manager is also challenging me, or giving me a duty she doesn't have the nerve to confront;I sense the la...

A verbal warning in writing consist of verbally discussing an issue while warning for corrective action. And documenting the conversation. I was shocked of such thing too, but it is in policy

I am so sorry for your loss. I sympathized with you on every level. I've been in a specialty that I haven't gotten fully adjusted to over the last year. My intent was to "stick it out" for 6 months to 1 year. It's been a year and I still feel the sam...

I stopped reading halfway through your post (sorry) but Im sad to tell you it is the same issue in the nursing profession; lack of jobs. Seriously do some research before you invest your time to get the same results.

I'm not trying to sound like "Debbie Downer" here but, it's a grid lock in nursing. Most people with optimistic comments have a job or very experienced RNs that just doesn't know what its like being a recent RN graduate looking for a hospital job. I ...

A part of this original post and some comments make me cringe. I get an irry feeling of the same feeling of discrimination and racism here. The idealism that "one is better than the other, so how dare you compare us" attitude. Nonetheless, its a bia...

No worries, as long as you have a good personality you'll get the job. As a dialysis nurse, I realize once you get the interview, you'll likely get the job. Dialysis setting will even be willing to train. As you stated your credentials I think you ar...

Kudos to you for thinking ahead. My advice is to search for any scholarship programs. Many of these programs are only available while enrolled in the nursing program. For instance, check with local hospitals who offer a contract upon hiring for payin...

Hi everyone, This is my very first time to renew my license by April 2012. I am so confused. In particular, Florida requires 24 hours of CEU's. How do I submit any CEU's to the health department for them to keep a record. Where should I get CEU's fro...

I can only see myself driving 20-30 minutes to work. I hate traffic and waking up any earlier than I have to. Besides gas and mileage is expensive. That's just me.

Oh my. This a good-bad thing. Facility Administrators in Davita, has a huge responsibility. Basically, they run the clinic. This includes, financial budget/meetings, protocol/compliance, staffing/hiring, etc. Totally operations. Nonetheless, if you a...

Yes, I will always remember my own quote. I also keep this quote near and dear to heart..."be careful how you talk to strangers because you never know when you may be entertaining angels.":saint::lttang:

for all of you who negated the possiblity of obtaining a desk job (which, i forgot to mention an example of a nurse i know who obtain a position in case management in a hospital straight out of nursing school). i never ever said i did not need experi...

kcmylorn...well well well, looks like you had a nerve struck! i truly think your generalizations are ludacris. nonetheless, many of you are simply reading into this a bit too much. for instance, i am fully aware that outpatient is not a desk job. in ...

Thank you, this post was very helpful and constructive!

Thanks, I agree with you. If you have a chance, please read my other replys here and offer suggestions/advice to the situation. I think I made a few clarifications.

Not exactly! Let me make myself clear. On this website and so many others, the question has already been posed numerous times, "why can't new grads find a job". The issue still remains and its out of the hands of anyones advice here. So I skipped ask...

I really could not justify myself any better than 27400 just did for me. Exactly, I have no problem with getting my hands dirty. However, since I have been out of school, and applying to hundreds of hospital positions, no one has hired me yet. In fac...

I am a year into dialysis now after graduating from RN school. Now this is just my opinion. Dialysis is a love it or hate it field. Our stories are very similar. I had no opportunities from hospitals approaching me, and only dialysis picked me up. I ...

No are u freaking kidding me? Its nurses like you who are typical for thinking they are at the top and newbies like me don't deserve a chance. Rather than post your negative thoughts in such a demeaning manner, it would have been better to offer some...
