I'm not sure what it is? How is the quality of your resume? Maybe you should try and have someone look at your resume and cover letter to critique it? Keep your head up and keep applying for jobs someone will want you! Keep Trying to apply at differe...

I have always loved ER nursing! I currently work at a high stress level one trauma center that averages 400 patients per day. I am a new grad but as a student I have been in this ED a lot over the past 2 years and there are only a handful of nurses t...

This is normal! Stay encouraged! Some colleges offer free tutoring you should try that! The tutors can help you to study more effectively for your learning style. Keep up the good work!

Maybe you should take a refresher course through your college

What you are feeling is normal! I feel that way sometimes! Even experienced nurses feel that way!

Don't get discouraged! It doesn't sound like Ltc would be a good fit. Try looking for jobs such as a school nurse, physicians office, clinics, etc. start there

Don't give up! Next time just really focus! Turn off pts tv if necessary ect. Take your time count a full minute

I work in the ER and I only do focused assessments if you start assessing head to toe and doing the full assessment that we learn on nursing school I would spend all day doing assessments and not providing pt care. If I start digging to deep I will g...

Have you tried a review course? I suggest hurst review!

I can't figure out why people are leaving? The great team work is between the RNs and the physicians but there is a disconnect between the RNs and NAs

I did both and I prefer hurst

The situation you describe sounds unsafe! If you feel so stressed and and are worried about your license it sounds like time to move on!

Did you apply to cmc? Is moving an option?

Thanks for the input! It is all helpful!

Hey! So I am in a new grad academy and I work 3 12 hour shifts and since I have 4 days off a week and student loans to pay back... I was wondering if it is a conflict of interest or an ethical situation if I want a second RN job? I got the feeling wh...

Oh and I do have a contract with a 2year commitment for my current job but it says nothing about obtaining a second job

Look into legal nurse consulting

Wow I'm sorry you were treated so terribly! Also, it can be hard transitioning from NA to nurse in the same facility. Take your boards ASAP and keep applying for jobs at other places.

Also research legal nurse consulting I don't know a lot about but it is a office/stay at home nursing job

Sorry for grammar issues. Typing on my phone

Hi! I am a new grad nurse and I have started working in an emergency department at a large teaching hospital! So nursing is a great career for males to get into! You're experience could be different everywhere you work. It is important to find someth...
