   VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

   I did ask her to explain the culture shock. She said the majority of short-term workers left due to feeling "isolated," not "directly caring for patients," and the "immense learning curve." As far as...

3. Work from Home Case Management

   VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the insight! Did you specifically work for an insurance company? I was told that this was salary, and that sometimes I'd have to work evenings (12-8p) so they seem a little strict about...

   Alright. I have to say something. Because I was a preceptor a year in to my first job as a new nurse. I hope you see this comment out of the hundred or so you probably already have here, but you...

8. Think I'll be Placed in Charge...

   VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   That's how I feel! I work with nurses with 10-30 years experience, and feel like they should be oriented first (yes, some of them haven't). And here I am with my two, not knowing certain...

    VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

    When I first applied for jobs, I swear I did a 100+ applications just in PA and only had about 5 reply back, so I think that's a country wide thing since companies are so reluctant to hire. So I guess...

13. East Coast vs West Coast Nursing

    VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

    Having patient mandated ratios sounds like a fantastic thing. I'll have to look into whether or not I could get a job with one year of experience, though. Is that actually a thing? Good luck in...

14. East Coast vs West Coast Nursing

    VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea what a break nurse is. Is that just someone who fills in for the charge when they're on break...? I've heard fantastic things about the mandated ratios, but I'm also being told I might...

15. East Coast vs West Coast Nursing

    VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing
