Your response to OP was so detailed- thank you providing so much information! When the jobs are posted, do they indicate if the position is am or pm? I know you said generally they start new hires on nights, however, I'm wondering if the job post spe...

My one regret was not leaving bedside sooner. My mental health has suffered. I just recently left the bedside and am never looking back. My advice is take this new job!

I wouldn’t give them my records, especially since it doesn’t guarantee you keeping your job. If you quit, you can at least apply there again down the road when you’re in a better spot. Virtual hugs to you. You got this.

Thank you so much for the reply! Apparently they don’t do them anymore. LOL, I was picturing myself running a mile and doing a million pushups so I was scared!!

So I just got hired at Atascadero State Hospital but the email I received states I "might" have to take a physical ability test? LOL, this is making me nervous. Does anyone know if this is true and if so, how hard is it? Do I have to pushups, run on ...

I came across a story about a year ago that I haven't been able to forget about. The story is about a middle aged woman from Los Angeles who suffers from early onset Alzheimer's and disappeared from her family in 2016. The most plausible theory is th...

A new father was filming in the hospital delivery room after the birth of his twin girls and he catches the doctor dropping one of the girls on a table. I recently watched a video I found on Facebook of a newborn baby being dropped on a table right ...

Hi everyone! I know this thread is really old but I was just wondering if you could describe some of the tasks you guys do during the day as a correctional nurse in Nevada. I'm highly considering applying but I'd love to get more info. Thanks so much...

I graduated valedictorian yet had never drawn blood or started an IV. I didn't even know how to hang a piggyback lol. Thankfully my new grad program gave us 10 weeks with a preceptor so I was able to develop some skills. The only way a new grad learn...

Anyone have any thoughts on the ER doctor from Los Gatos who has been all over the news today? Apparently a college student came in complaining of an anxiety attack and according to the news, the patient was "taunted." The patient was asking for pain...

Lol, for some stupid reason I thought the OP wrote that which changes a lot!! Haha, my apologies. Being a travel nurse would be a TERRIBLE idea, couldn't agree more. A new grad probably wouldn't survive their first day as the staff expect you to know...

What city are you in? Are you close to Phoenix? Can you relocate for a year? My advice is to join the Facebook group New Grad RNs Arizona, you can connect with so many other new grads in your state and they are often posting new grad residencies.

I was a new grad in 2014 in CA and I know it's different than it is today, but it was extremely hard to get a job as a new grad back then. I joined a Facebook group for new grads in my state which essentially helped land me my first job. Find a list ...

Check out National University

I don't have any side hustles personally but flu clinics are a big one and many agencies are starting to hire now for a September start date.

Nope, you would be a perfect fit in Hollywood. I lived in Hollywood for 10 years and worked in a few hospitals in LA, trust me, like I said...you would fit right in!

No, I don't think it will be hard for you to get a job. I think you'll be just fine. It seems kind of crazy that they fired you when this was the first disciplinary action. I really wouldn't stress too much over it. Enjoy your summer before school st...

It's been awhile since I've taken the NCLEX but I would suggest studying content just as much as you go over questions. Other than lab values, try not to memorize but actually comprehend what you're reading. For example, I used the Saunders book and ...

When management asked you what time you took care of the patient, you stated that "you didn't remember and that you guessed a time." IMO, that is the biggest problem here and probably the only problem. You can't guess, big no no. I think most of us b...

I'm not usually this black or white on issues but I'm going to go ahead and say you're not taking your job seriously enough if you fall asleep on the clock. Maybe it's because I'm an RN and feel 100% responsible for my patients lives, but my body wou...

I really hope you apply to the programs. Nurses are all different shapes and sizes and come from various backgrounds and cultures. We are a giant mixing pot and it sounds like you'll fit right in. If you're smart then we need you and believe me, the ...

I used to work on a VIP floor in Los Angeles where patients had to pay over $800 a night to stay there. They had down comforters, Keurigs, satin sheets, a personal fridge, newspaper hand delivered daily, a concierge on staff during the day to arrange...

The thread is about the situation.

I think Nurse Beth's suggestion of finding something that will allow you to work from home in the near future is very smart. Case management at your current hospital would be a good option to get that experience needed for at home case management job...

It would have been nice for you to include the longer video. I just looked at the fathers Facebook page to see if he uploaded the original video and I think this is it. If you have something better please post. When I posted this the other day I didn...
