I started working per diem at the behavioral health unit and I absolutely love it! I've always had a thing for psych even when I was in school so I'm really pumped I got it. As for the skills.. I was just thinking about that last night on the evening...

What are you looking for? Experience? Passion? Straight A's? Also, what do you consider as a "weakness"? I just want to get a sense of what psych nurse managers are looking for since this is where I want to be. I want to end up in psych nursing! A...

I interviewed for a psych position and the hiring manager said he wanted someone with experience so they can "hit the ground running". This totally discouraged me. I'm so bummed out. How do I get experience if no one wants to give me experience? I w...

Wow. Will send you a PM.

Hello everyone, just wanted to ask something: is it ok to show up unannounced to nursing units and try to meet with nurse managers or is that borderline weird? Lol I've been applying to this hospital for what seems like forever & I've never gotte...

Hi! I'm trying to get out of LTC.. Lol I'm trying to get into the hospital or a clinic, which is my first choice.

I'd hate to make me seem "entitled" but I don't know what else to do. I don't really know when to follow up, HR keeps telling me my application is still valid & that I don't need to resubmit. It's very frustrating. I just want to know if I have a...

They use paper applications & they're very laborious to do, wish they did online apps! Lol! I know of a nurse that works in the hospital but not at the units there are openings for. I wish there was some other way for me to meet & follow up.

Lol!!! true true! I sent you a PM!

Have you tried nursing homes in your area? I know it's not the most feasible place to start but it's RN experience and it's paid :) (this is what I tell myself lololol) I also felt the same way-- people thinking I was lazy or picky but it's the total...

I first obtained my license to a different state before applying, just so they know you're serious. Pick a state or two or get the compact one and apply to those. :) which state were you planning to apply to?

So bad. I just don't know if it's the right thing to do when I don't have another job lined up. I have experience of less than a year in total, 4 months at my current workplace and I've loathed it eversince I started orienting on the floor. I never g...

Thank you! Does it need 1 year experience? I'd like to get into school nursing too, much better fit than ltc.

I guess I'm afraid of quitting because I don't have a backup plan. It will be like, ok, I quit, now what? Do I continue being a nurse even if I'm already burnt out or do I just stick it out for the sake of being a nurse? I've already wasted 8+ years...

Thank you. I get paid for the breaks I don't take, but if I take a break, I'd have to stay longer just to finish everything that has to be done. We're also assigned a lot of extra work on different days like pain charting, diabetic charting, etc in ...

I love this so much. Kudos to you. I wish I had the courage to do this. I just don't know what will happen next :/

Yup... Maslow's! hugs.

I did Kaplan the first time around, went all the way up to 265 questions. The second time I did the yellow Saunders book, La Charity & NCSBN 3 week subscription. -----> more helpful to me, I passed.

Tell me about it. Really sad. Are you working a non-RN job right now? I also really want to go back to school but it's really hard when you don't have the $$$ to do so

It's been exactly a year since I've graduated.. Nope. Nothing yet. Depressing.

I took Kaplan & failed at 265 questions.Right now, I am doing Saunders 5th edition Q&A, I just finished the 5th edition comprehensive. I also have to do La Charity. My test is scheduled for the 11th of February but I am getting stressed and o...

Thanks, Merlyn. I think so too. Last time I studied when I woke up til night time. When I'm not studying, I feel guilty though, even after studying for a significant amount of time.

Please help me I dont know what else to do. I just want to get over this already.
