Hello! I am looking for a different type of job and I was hoping to find some advice/ideas here. Currently, I am working in a hospital on a telemetry/cardiac floor. My coworkers aren't very nice to me and it is one big clique. They go to my boss and...

Anyone??

Sorry, I was having trouble with the end there, but I do not want to do telemetry anymore

So I am going to be off of training starting tonight. I just found out cause I thought it was going to be the 8th. Anyways, I am super nervous! I am at a nursing home. I worked last night as well. It was a hard night, but I did learn a lot. I feel ki...

I started at my first RN job at a nursing home about 3 weeks ago. I'm on night shift 7p-7:30a. They are being really helpful and giving me an extended orientation time...they usually only give 5-6 days for nurses for training. I have had 8 days so fa...

Thanks so much for the advice... I know this is just my stepping stone, so hopefully I'll get better quickly :)

Hello! So I have recently (2 weeks ago) started my first RN job at a nursing home--night shift. It is going pretty well, better than I expected. Here is my concern. I am so worried about what to do if a resident dies. Like if I walk in the room and t...

Hi! I have just accepted a full-time nights position at a nursing home/rehabilitation center. It is 7p-7a and I am a new grad. This will be my very first job as a RN and I've never worked night shift before anywhere. I was told that the nurse to pati...

I feel like I wrote this, lol. Congrats!!! I just had my first interview this week at a LTC facility and was offered a nights 7p-7a full time. I took the job right away, but am now feeling kind of insecure about my decision. I am not sure about night...

It does have skilled nursing, but it also for long term care patients. I guess what I am most worried about is night shift...I almost feel like I only took this job because it was the only place that offered me one. Do a lot of new grads start out on...

So glad (not salad, haha!). Also, I was going to say that I have never had experience with this many patients as well. But the nurse who hired me said that the other new grads who she had hired recently were doing great! So I am sure that we will get...

I am in the same boat, pretty much...I was just hired yesterday at a LTC facility as a new grad and will have 24-30 patients to a unit. I am working nights...so nervous about that!!! I am looking for advice too, this is my first job! Salad to hear I ...

I guess there also might be an LPN on staff as well as 2 STNAs...but they did say that it was rare to only have one RN in the whole facility. So I wouldn't be entirely on my own...

Thank you!! I appreciate that! I hope I enjoy it as well and learn a lot. You said you had your 2nd interview...best of luck to you as well! :)

Hi!! I don't know how many of you read my last topic about being frustrated and stuff. But I have finally got a call for an interview tomorrow! I am so nervous though!! I just applied for this nursing home yesterday and they have already contacted me...

Thanks munchiekon!!! Thanks to all of your help, I had my interview this morning and it went really good. They offered me the job and I got hired! They only asked me a few questions...none of the super hard ones though. I was kind of surprised. I am ...

So today I got a phone call from the nursing home I applied at just yesterday afternoon and I am going to have my first interview ever tomorrow at 11!! I am so surprised at how quick that was!

Hello all, So... I don't know if I am the only one in this boat, but I really need some advice/thoughts. I graduated with a BSN in May 2013, passed my NCLEX in August 2013. And I still don't have a job yet!!! It has been almost a year since I gradua...

I am in the exact same boat as well. But I haven't gotten interviews I am in NE Ohio too... Just keep applying everywhere you can!!

Thanks sunshine daisy and Lizzie! I actually just applied for a nursing home...the one my brother works at, but all they had was nights (I've never worked night shift before), but it was full time so that's good! hopefully I can get an interview here...

I feel the same way...I am afraid that I would accidentally kill someone by making a mistake. It is comforting to hear the replies that this feeling is normal. I am a new grad still looking for a job. I guess we can just do the best job we can and be...

Thank you for the comments and advice! It really means a lot to me. I think I will start applying at nursing homes nearby. I love how I can come on this site and get advice from all you professional nurses! Thanks!! :) mrsboots87-- good luck with the...

Hey there! I graduated in May, and passed my RN NCLEX in the middle of August. I still don't have a job...I've sent out a lot of applications, but I haven't gotten any calls. When I try to call human resources, I just get an automated message and the...

Thank you so much! It is a little frustrating. I will just keep trying, thanks for the advice :)

I am still in the process of looking for a job, but I wanted to get opinions about if new graduates still orienting work on holidays???? I hope to have a job soon, so do you think I would be working Christmas this year? I would rather not, lol. I hav...
