Got a call to interview for the nurse residency program. It's a 3 year contract. More than any other hospital in Miami. Makes me wonder how much difficulty the hospital has in keeping their nurses, maybe thats why their contract is so long & bind...

I live in Miami, FL. I graduated in May 2015. Got my license end of July. Missed application date for residency program because I got my license so late. Since then, I've been applying to whatever position may be open. I got one interview, and I didn...

There's one starting in February. I was wondering if anything is/has been part of the program. I know it's a two year contract. I have a few questions: 1. Am I bound to the floor I get in for those two years? 2. How much is the pay? 3. How many class...

new grad. started working about 8 months ago. slowly getting to know doctors. two times ive had to contact a doctor. i work night shift. both times i called and it wasnt past 10 pm. first time, missing order that the dr or arnp needed to put in. Seco...

For the record! I did rewrite my post. I wrote the post SourLemon commented on the morning after speaking with the doctor so i was still worked up about it. Hence the rambling. I edited it to what it is now. Thank you all for your input! I greatly a...

Regardless of whether or not it was my way of speaking to the doctor... the way he was demeaning to me was unacceptable. And it hasnt just been me he has done this too. The point of this post was how to deal with these certain doctors. Do you just ...

I do take advice. Never have i said that i am doing things perfect. I know i have a lot to learn. So thanks for your input.

Thank you!

And thanks for the advice. But it most certainly wasnt the issue. Its just the way the doctor responded, not the way i spoke to him. Regardless, thanks for the advice and ill keep that in mind even more so next time i speak with anyone.

I dont write the way i speak. I am also writing from my cellphone which is why nothing was really capitalized and such.

This is the patient. This is the situation. These are the vitals. What would u like to do. Nothing more was given. Just straight to what needed to be said. Thank you.

I went to my assistant director/manager and let her know what had happened. She did tell me that "bullying" is unacceptable and to write her and my director an email about both times i called. As i said, he has a reputation of being rude and yelling...

I agree it had rambling but that does not reflect the way i spoke to the doctor. Thanks for pointing things out. But this doctor does have a reputation regardless of which nurse calls. He hasnt yelled at only me, but others as well.

My communication with doctors on the phone is professional. I did rehearse with my charge nurse and another fellow nurse who were both near me as i called. But thanks anyway.

Not that i took it personally...but it was uncalled for. I dont understand why some doctors are like that. My priority are my patients.

I'm an introvert. But at work, it's different. It's quite odd, actually. I'm more extroverted, feel okay talking with patients and their families and with fellow nurses. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm at work and have a responsibility. It's like I...

Oh. I did tell her. I mentioned I haven't been up there in a while and to let me know if there's anything I'm missing or needing. I'm not ashamed to ask got help when needed. Patients lives at risk.

I'm in my 4th month of nursing. Been trained in the nursery and admitting Nursery. Went up to admitting today, haven't been there in the longest. As soon as I got up there, had 3 babies waiting for me, a normal delivery came about 30 minutes into the...

I got about a month of training in admitting. Which I don't think a month of training for anything is really enough training.... But I felt confident in what I knew and what I was doing.

I do feel confident in my ability to take on the job. But it was just a lot at once, after not being floated up there for a long while. I did what I needed to do. I didn't get to chart till late. But in regards to my patients, which come first, I di...

currently have a full-time job, but getting canceled more often than i would like to be. would it be wrong to be looking into a per diem job to make up the hours? how would i go about asking my manager to be a reference for my per diem job applicatio...

Is all the stress of nursing school really worth it in the end? The stress i have experienced has caused me to lose about 4-5 pounds in a matter of 2 months. Ive had frequent migraines, hardly sleep, & just feel overwhelmingly depressed every sin...

I sent out my app about a week ago. How can I check the application status?

i wish they would give more info before calling for interviews.

6 months for me! got a call for a ppossible per diem job at a clinic. will have to wait till monday if i hear back. prefer that rather than a contract.
