New Grad RN: Lost and Hating My First Job. NEED Advice?
Please in the Future never give the narcotics keys to no one. Not even the ADN or Doctors until you sign out. I know of people who lost their job because of that. Please TRUST NO ONE WITH THE NORCOTIC KEYS,because you really don't know people. In addition, being a new nurse there they consider you don't have much to loose. STAY FOCUS!

They was very happy to receive it. The ADN was touched and told me how thoughtful of me. My Head Nurse apologized to me about how she treated me. Her mouth literally drop open when I presented the gift to her.

I also got gifts from the Residents. One of them said, time for her to go home now because I am not here any more. All the kind words from the Residents reminded me of why I became a nurse.

UPDATE! Hello Everyone. The staff gave me a surprise party yesterday. I was floated to another floor and they call me and told me to come to the floor. I went and everyone was there to surprise me including a nurse who only work on weekends. They thank me and expressed appreciation to me. I gave them chocolate as gifts. I gave to every floor (5) including my supervisors and thank them. Thank you everyone for your input, it was highly appreciated.

5 yr Nurse Burnout
I am one year in and felt like that. Every day my husband hear me complain about how i dislike the culture on my floor. Very petty nurses who always criticizing the new nurses. That's why I got another job. Maybe time for you to take a vacation or dust of your resume. Hugs.

New Grad Nurse Might Lose Job Struggling In Orientation
My goodness I know exactly how you feel and I know it hurts deep down. All I can say is encourage yourself and hold on to your faith. I know what's like when you ask for feedback and help all to be criticized. I know how it feels when you have so much responsibilities and don't quite understand the ins and outs of the job description. My Dear, you will make it. The floor seems like a toxic environment and once it it the culture of the floor, you will always be picked on. You will continue to feel inadequate because of all the criticism. If you don't feel it is a right fit for you, start applying for another job. Please don't give up on nursing. Hugs to you.

PARTING GIFT
Hello everyone, soon I will be starting my new job in two weeks. Do I have to give gifts to my old co-workers and Managers/ADN's, as I was the Charge Nurse? What gifts can I give to them? My husband thinke I should just give them a thank you card and move on. What do you think? Thanks.

Did my Interview go well? Or don’t count on a call?
Sorry you didn't get the position. However, apply if you want too but don't let recruiters play you like a fiddle. Please search elsewhere also and hope for the best. You will get a job soon when the time is right.
-
Did I make the right choice?
It been a rude awakening for me but I am ok. When people treat you a certain way let goodness overflow from you. Now big hugs she gives me and told me she is having a hard time that I am leaving. Begging me not to go. I an a team player, therefore all will be well wherever I go. You will be ok too, just go with your heart.
-
Did I make the right choice?
I totally get it. That's why I made my year and got a better job at a hospital. We must always look out for our best interests if we want to keep our license.
-
Did I make the right choice?
Toaster, yes you did the right thing. No questions about that. If something happened that night and you lost your license they all was going to cover themselves and not you. I got two weeks orientation on 7:45am-3:45pm. I was thrown on 3:45pm-12:00am shift as Charge Nurse. The other CN didn't want to teach me anything until the staff started to talk and said if I was speaking her language and from her country she would help me? She started to come around. I couldn't go to administration because they was rubbing shoulder together. I used to have panic attacks going to work. Please always listen to your heart. You did the right thing.
