  14. Started new job - how do I bring up time off for vacation

    mtngrl replied to NewPaltzRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would not ask. Since you didn't mention it at the interview then it looks like you recently planned it. And I would request the days off you want to reschedule it to BEFORE you actually reschedule...

  19. Burnout, bad hours, heavy patient load, what to do??

    mtngrl replied to Nurse Blondy's topic in General Nursing

    Whyyyyyyy do you work so much?? TWO full time jobs? And others? Of course you're burned out. Think about yourself instead of trying to be loyal to some job. You come first and sounds like you need a...

  20. Can I start over with my grades?

    mtngrl replied to sincerebliss's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest you take Anatomy & Physiology first off, because if you don't do well in that, you won't do well in nursing. That's the first class I took in college. I'm surprised a school let you take...
