  6. Two part time jobs...

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

    I think I'd probably have to resign from the stepdown position at some point if things work out with the ICU position. I'm still trying to find my niche as a nurse. There are days when I hate it to be...

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

    That's what I'm a little worried about, the scheduling. Both jobs world have to be willing to work with me... Hopefully it'll work out. Well I don't even know if I got the 2nd job yet. Won't find out...

  10. How did you land your first RN job?

    pseudo_name replied to DL2013's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I kept applying, everyday, everywhere (I almost moved from NY to North Dakota for a job). I went to job fairs, spoke to a career counselor on how to sell myself and spruce up my resume so that I...

    pseudo_name replied to stickit34's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow that's terrible. I also have a co-worker that's very unpleasant and nasty (in general not just to me). I just try to ignore her on the dreaded days I'm stuck working with her. I was so happy when...

  13. No job...giving up

    pseudo_name replied to Nurse J1112's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    How does your resume look? Is there any chance that you'd be willing to apply as an nursing assistant or unit secretary just to get your foot in the door at a hospital? What type of nursing are you...

  14. Don't know what to do

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

    I'm back on days again, and although it's more stressful (in my opinion) because it's just non-stop tasks (sending pts for tests/procedures, OR, fresh post-ops, discharges, admissions, new orders all...

    pseudo_name posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am still a new nurse (only have been working as an RN since April 2013) and I have been looking for a new job. I work on a very busy and high acuity surgical step down unit. I usually take care of...

    pseudo_name posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was so proud of myself for finishing nursing school! Graduating from a stressful program. Putting in the countless hours of studying, sacrificing so much to reach my goal -- a Bachelor's degree in...

    pseudo_name replied to pseudo_name's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hey.. Yes I passed my probation! =) Found out yesterday. I actually to feel more confident as nurse, but still want to work in a safer environment. I'm really not comfortable having so many patients...

  19. Sorry but I need to get this off of my chest... can anyone relate??

    pseudo_name replied to pseudo_name's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've only been working as a nurse since April 2013...so about 8 months. I guess the honeymoon is over, but I find that nights are a better pace for me, work wise. I don't find myself becoming AS...

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

    Anyone? Is it normal to have a love/hate relationship with nursing?? I love being a nurse - as in the actual nursing care part of nursing -- patient care, being there for people in some of the hardest...
