Sounds like a very caring, giving man.

That actually made me laugh!

Are there any agencies nearby that may hire for temporary hospital positions? That could possibly help not only get experience in the hospital setting, but also "get your foot in the door".

Yes, we all agree that 30 units of Insulin and 3 units is a huge difference. There are 3 checks to giving medication which it seems OP did not have time to do prior to the RN letting her know about the discrepancy. OP has stated that she would have d...

I have been in this dept for less than a year. Almost from the beginning, I have felt that I was not a good fit for the department. I love the nursing, but I am not a good fit. company policy requires specific 'time served' in a position before you c...

"When everyone is laughing and smiling, it never fails, she either fights with her parents, complains incessantly about her husband and mother in law, and makes snide remarks to her mother and my other aunt, and she's flat out cruel to my sister, con...

.....just maybe that was her way of warning you that nursing school is not easy..... Not the best choice of words in that case, but just maybe that's what she was trying to do?

Ammonia works pretty well getting rid of odors.

I live in and benefit from a compact state license. I hold a license in all other states due to my job requirements. The company pays for all my licenses except for my home state license.

Nurseonamotorcycle, I'm with you on this! Social situations...eek! I would have wondered why in the world they had me play if I wasn't on the roster? I would have had no problem just being a spectator and cheering on the team. I believe I would have...

I was my own worst enemy/critic. I had so much support from everyone. However, I was absolutely terrified of failing, of not only letting myself down, but more so of letting them down. I had to constantly remind myself to not be negative when others ...

I would have thought it was some sort of test. "Is she going to do this? Or not?" I would not have done it because I would not be the one to use the syringes, and I would have said that. Hopefully, by NOT doing it, I would have been offered the job!

L shape. I saw that question in some type of continuing ed online class I took. I don't recall the title of the class, but yes, it was patient interview.

The Purposely Inefficient to Get Overtime Ha! there used to be quite a few of those! Someone finally caught on and nixed that!

I went to nursing school right out of high school but quit one year into the 3 year diploma program. I got married and had children then became a teacher's assistant with NC Public Schools. After a few years of being talked down to by one specific te...

HAHAHAHAH I will have to remember this one!

Just out of curiosity....when you applied or were interviewed, did you tell them you would be able to start immediately? I mean, is that why they want you to start Monday?

That's not enough information to decide if it's a HIPAA violation or not.

Do those people really want a job? Makes me wonder.

I would put the DON's name down. Just continue to be courteous, professional, and open. Good luck.

That's right along the lines of what I was thinking.

I'd always go with Professional. Good Luck!

ouch!

That could work! I worked with a new grad who had her jacket embroidered with her name and RN. She didn't pass the boards after a few tries, finally took LPN board and passed. As far as I know she never tried to retake the RN board. Needless to say, ...

Oh my! If a nurse had told me that........a year later when I was still feeling that way, I'd have been so upset! It just takes time...different times for different people. You will be fine!
