    I am scared of being fired as a new grad

    Monkey Nurse replied to DH1234's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds... normal. And on a bad shift these things might happen to me. We prioritize and do our best but patients sort of get in the way of the “ideal” we hope to provide. Your preceptor should...

    Transitional Care Nursery! Help!

    Monkey Nurse replied to djohnston28's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'll get back to you as I am about to start a new facility, but I can tell you what it looked like for me in a rural setting as the only OB trained nurse on my shift: Keep in mind we were a rural...

    Monkey Nurse replied to Elease16's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Best wishes and congrats to the soon to be nurses ? I told my sister who just took NCLEX a few weeks ago-- did you do bad enough to fail in 75 questions and not be given additional questions to prove...

    New Grad in L&D-

    Monkey Nurse replied to shebrannew's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don’t think Ive ever known someone to take OB positions for the challenge. Most of us have a passion for the field. IMHO being in this field and being good at it takes a certain amount of love for...

    New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

    Monkey Nurse replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/526562100 Winterhaven, Ca is near Yuma, AZ. Bit of a drive or bit of a move but maybe keep your eye on the federal job

    Have you applied to VA? Are you willing to travel and stay somewhere during the week? What are you prepared to do? I left my area after 6 months of no job leads. i was really discouraged. I went to...

    Monkey Nurse replied to wannabenurseman77's topic in Men in Nursing

    Monkey Nurse replied to guest62419's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did I do the right thing in this code situation?

    Monkey Nurse replied to Nurse162's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a clinic and any major medical emergency is a code blue. Most of the staff aren’t knowledgeable enough to differentiate between what code to call and it would waste team. If someone...

    New Nurse, terrible shift

    Monkey Nurse replied to ascty87's topic in General Nursing

    The more confident you are the more you will be able to put your shyness behind. You might have to imagine you're an actress pretending to be outgoing. I am also shy and reserved but I came out of my...

    Experienced nurse turned down several times..

    Monkey Nurse replied to kmek30's topic in General Nursing

    Its so hard to know! Let me tell you my recent experience is that I have applied for no less than 4-5 L&D jobs in the last couple months at this one hospital. They went on a hiring spree. I even...

    How to Negotiate? New job offer

    Monkey Nurse posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Is there a particular method for bargaining over salaries. I'd really like to take this position, but base salary is $5k less a year and to have the same level health insurance I have now- it would...

    Likelihood of finding an L&D position with no women's services experience?

    Monkey Nurse replied to EKB10796's topic in General Nursing

    My sister landed a l&D job right out of nursing school because she preceptored with L&D and they liked her. I think that is rare and special situation though. I would network away and maybe...

    New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

    Monkey Nurse replied to Ashley Karanja's topic in General Nursing

    As everyon else has said- there are way too many fields to say i hate nursing. You don’t have to be in direct patient care. Maybe even phone triage would suit you? I know nurses that travel with...

    License in two states?

    Monkey Nurse replied to melissamae002's topic in General Nursing

    When licensing by endorsement, you just need to have a current active license in the state you came from which you achieved by passing the NCLEX. My original nursing school was also not accredited by...

    License in two states?

    Monkey Nurse replied to melissamae002's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, I'm echoing what was said- if you don't have residency in a compact state, you only get a single state license for that state. I worked federal and had a compact state license but once I...

    How to Negotiate? New job offer

    Monkey Nurse replied to Monkey Nurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I hear you N.d.y! I am trying not to make it harder than it needs to be. I'm just not the most assertive personality. I'm always afraid to push too hard or come off as annoying. I've got pretty good...

    What can an RN do in a clinic??

    Monkey Nurse replied to beachnrse's topic in General Nursing

    My facility is a little weird because we are not urgent care but we have a rule that everyone who walks in at least sees an RN. We have standing orders for certain routine illnesses (not needing...

    Monkey Nurse replied to ThatChickOmi's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I started my RN BsN with them. I only had a few courses with them so take this for what its worth! I moved states after my first quarter so I couldn’t continue or I would have. I’ve done online...

    Job change? Love where I'm at, but don't like the field I'm in

    Monkey Nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I need advice- need to talk this out a little with some fellow nurses. I'm torn on a decision I will be faced with soon as I'm expecting a job offer or two next week. My big concerns: 1) I've really...

    Job change? Love where I'm at, but don't like the field I'm in

    Monkey Nurse replied to Monkey Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    P.S. I shouldn't have read the post "Why are nurses leaving the bedside in droves?" It made me depressed and scared, and wondering if I shouldn't stay at my nice clinic instead of going to work in a...
