  1. Scared at new job in psychiatric hospital

    GypseyGirl replied to GypseyGirl's topic in Psychiatric

    We did a 3 or 4 hour CPART self defense training class and verbal de-escalation training. But I still don't feel like it is enough. Five & Two, I'm honestly not sure med surge nursing is for me...

  2. Scared at new job in psychiatric hospital

    GypseyGirl replied to GypseyGirl's topic in Psychiatric

    The patients come to the counter to get their medication. The nurse's station or med cart can be somewhat of a barrier, but we have to pass the main area where the patients wander around just to go...

  3. Interview for RN position at Lancaster prison

    GypseyGirl replied to GypseyGirl's topic in Correctional

    It went terrible! They asked so many questions that I wasn't sure of. Needless to say, I didn't get the job. I will have to refresh my nursing knowledge if I have another

    GypseyGirl posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a new grad RN and just passed my NCLEX in August and have been looking for a job ever since. I was lucky enough to actually get 2 job offers in the same week. One was a RN state job at a...

  5. First job as a new grad- wondering if I made the right decision

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

    Actually I have an update! I ended up quitting at the spa place because I really didn't feel safe with my license with what they were doing at the med spa. The psychiatric hospital in Las Vegas...

  6. New nurse...hate my job...don't know what to do

    GypseyGirl replied to elmoRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Elmo, I could totally relate to you! I am also a new grad (from May 2011), and just recently accepted a job in a Med Spa type place. It sounded glamarous and exciting, but I really don't like it!...

  7. First job as a new grad- wondering if I made the right decision

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

    I agree with you, N1! But that's the problem- we don't really know what will make us happy until we try out the job. With encouragement from my parents to "stick it out" and "be grateful to have a...

  8. First job as a new grad- wondering if I made the right decision

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

    I love nursing how there's so many different areas you can go into. I'm not sure if hospital nursing is really what I even want to do in the long run. There's many new grads who are unemployed for...

  9. First job as a new grad- wondering if I made the right decision

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

    Ha ha, yes- money can be tempting! I might look into some new grad programs at hospitals in this area too. I think most hospitals do new grad programs every fall and spring, from what I've heard....

  10. First job as a new grad- wondering if I made the right decision

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

    Thanks for the positive thoughts! Long term, I'd like to do something more in public health or in preventive care. I've never felt all that comfortable in the hospital setting, even though they...

  11. Help! I can't decide!

    GypseyGirl replied to hopfrogger's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hopfrogger, I wondered what you ended up doing? I am in the same position as you- new grad who is not sure about working in a hospital setting and I have potential offer for a laser hair removal...
