  11. MSN to Medical School

    KariZayBSN replied to starluka's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    KariZayBSN replied to Ativan's topic in Medical-Surgical

    As a float (in the past), you have to communicate well. The charge nurse should have assisted you with having your assignment covered if you still were expected to care for the critical patient. If...

    KariZayBSN replied to hope77rn's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    The job market is horrible for even seasoned RNs. And forget it if you aren't already in a position trying to get a clinical job. It's important to make and maintain nursing contacts. CT is small but...

    KariZayBSN replied to rmayes43's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    KariZayBSN replied to irishlynn5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Also, you never know if the nurse manager will allow you to go on days unless you ask. She may be open to allowing you to work 3-11. I have worked for many hospitals and know that hospitals having...

  22. New RN; I want to quit my job already.

    KariZayBSN replied to irishlynn5's topic in First Year After Licensure
