    rant.. "4 weeks notice"

    Just because she accepted your two week doesn't mean that's all you have to work out. I would check The policy. Have you tried talking to your new facility? Most places have orientation more than...

    springchick1 replied to misyan's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, this is how it has been at any facility I've worked at. Nurses give a 4 week notice. Your new job where you are going will understand that. At my facility, if you DON'T work out your four...

    advice? asked to go home during shift

    springchick1 replied to artreid's topic in General Nursing

    This statement is ridiculous! It could be that the OP overstepped his place and did more than he was supposed to do (which he admitted to). Just because your husband was treated one way doesn't mean...

    advice? asked to go home during shift

    I wouldn't go that far. Maybe it wasn't fair to have multiple preceptors but maybe they did that because she already had some experience and they thought she could handle it. We recently hired...

    Anyone walked out of the test center feeling like they bombed?

    springchick1 replied to JMB612's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
