1. Got written up AGAIN

   MissM.RN replied to Justliving00's topic in General Nursing

   I have two thoughts about your situation: 1. nursing is a "24 hour role". no one nurse can be expected to do every possible ordered thing within 8 hours. i mean, if the patient doesn't have a...

2. Hire Me

   MissM.RN replied to MR-RN15's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   If you can deal with a cross-country move, look into NH and VT. new grad and ADN friendly. PM me if you need further detail. I relocated too and never for a minute regretted

4. Frustrating Job Market

   MissM.RN replied to katymom's topic in General Nursing

   OP, can you relocate? if so, send me a private message. i can give you a couple of leads. if not, best of luck to you. the job market for everyone has been horrible since the 2008

5. I lack social skills and confidence. Is nursing a possibility for me?

   MissM.RN replied to DerAustin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   OP, I echo what a previous poster said: I think it might be time to get your anxiety under control. That doesn't mean you couldn't be a great nurse though! It sounds like you are smart and have some...

6. Applying to jobs out of state

   MissM.RN replied to lilnursey'15's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   OP - yes! I graduated at a very difficult time for new grads to get hospital jobs. It was hard to swallow because I have a family, but I'm glad I did. The hiring process at my hospital was ok - long...

7. Would you send this patient to the unit?

   MissM.RN replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   OP, you should be thanked for your advocacy and getting this pt to the unit where they belong. As a charge RN, I would simply not accept this patient to my unit, not assign a bed or nurse, and maybe...

8. First Med Error... Learned Big Lesson

   MissM.RN replied to NurseyNursington's topic in First Year After Licensure

   OP, you should be commended for your care and honesty. there are some nurses that i know who would have said "eh" or perhaps didn't even notice the BP AT ALL or worse still, let an entire day go by...

9. Job Hopper, concerned

   MissM.RN replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   Agree with both OP and previous posters. That job makes it seem as though you were working at a nearly-bankrupt psyc unit in a prison. oy vey! however, yes many new grads state that the work is...

10. New Grad Nurse Journal ICU

    MissM.RN replied to tsipareht's topic in First Year After Licensure

    WHY oh why is "journaling" a new thing in nursing? I find keeping your feelings and opinions to yourself is a lost art. I can't believe your employer (let alone nursing schools) is making people do...

    MissM.RN replied to Littleles79's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Can anyone give me their opinion on this: I've put a few applications out to BWH for staff nurse/floor positions and step-down/intermediate. while I heard back and received good feedback from two...

12. My termination story, any new grad success advice appreciated!

    MissM.RN replied to Islaleigh's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OP, sorry you're going through that. 6 week new grad orientation for a 6 patient ratio? Unacceptable. Please do not judge yourself too harshly given that training and ratio. I refuse to work 1:6 and I...

13. Jobs in Boston

    MissM.RN replied to mstone21388's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Boston nurses, how long did it take (roughly) from the time you applied to a particular hospital job to the time you finally heard back from HR or the nurse manager? I am BSN/experienced. thanks in...

    MissM.RN replied to Littleles79's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    yes please! i'm guessing ICU would have to be 1:1 or maybe 1:2 at times. how does the nurse : patient ratio work out generally on other
