    osamejrn posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    osamejrn replied to osamejrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. Cry for help: I don't think I can do this.

    osamejrn replied to -MissTake-'s topic in General Students

    I am so sorry that you are going through this right now. I too went through feelings similar to this during my final semester of college. They weren't as bad as yours sound, but, they went away the...

  5. I want to do well in nursing school...any advice

    osamejrn replied to loveSBK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school is grueling and I can't even think of anything to equate it to. The instructors are supposed to be "rude" because if you can't cut it in school, you are definitely not going to cut it...

  9. Nurses Talk To Nurses. Doctors Talk To Doctors

    osamejrn replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I took it a few times until I finally had enough! After a few years of nursing under my belt I had an on-call physician call my unit one afternoon and ask for a nurse that didn't work on my floor. I...

  10. No Experience vs. LPN Experience

    osamejrn posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am a recent ADN RN grad and a former LPN for almost 10 years. With the economy the way it is, I am having a difficult time finding "my dream job" which is in a hospital on a med/surg floor. As I...

    osamejrn replied to osamejrn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
