  1. I’m trying to debating on what job to take or stay. One is a group home of developmental disability. Total patient is 24 with only two nurses . If we lucky we have three nurses then ratio is 1:8 but three nurses doesn’t happen often as this place is always short staffed. It is always busy because of the constant every two hours feeding, meds, etc. and even busier if something goes wrong. And I have been working this for a short while and want to put in my notice. So Most days I go into work having anxiety as if there is only one other nurses including myself then what if something goes wrong or I don’t know how to do a new procedure then the other nurse couldn’t help me because of how the building is separated. So one nurse has to always stay in the building with the highly acuity level and if I’m alone on the other building and don’t know how to do a new procedure or what to do if patient goes downhill. As the other nurse couldn’t go to me because the building is separated and it is mandatory to have one nurse always stay on that side. The nurses are helpful but if something happen like a patient catheter falls out. The other nurse can explain to me but can’t show me as she has to stay in the building with the patients of highly acuity level. I have a new job offer that is private duty. Private duty pays the same rate as my current job now in group home. It is lower stress but I am tempted at if it is a dangerous area, difficult or dangerous family members, or big scary dogs. I have been doing private duty a while and depend on cases it can be either good or bad. And I was lucky to have good cases in the past with a different agency. So im a fairly new nurse and am confident in some skills but not a new grad. Should I stick with the group home to get some more experience or call it quit, or should I go into the new job offer of private duty. Private duty will be the same pay. I like a job that is low stress knowing that when the time approach to go work I am eager to rather than having anxiety as working in the group home. I know that being a floor nurse is not for me but should I stick with the group home facility to gain experience or quit? I am confident in my skills doing private duty as I have done it before as most kids are teach and gtube. And with this new private duty job, the parents are at home if something happen they could help me. Which job should I take? Please give me your best answer and be nice

  3. Hi! I passed my boards recently.The only job I got so far is flu school nurse. I am excited about the job am really loves working with kids. The downside is that the job is only a few days of administering flu meds. It would be a good experience for me to at least have my foot in the door.As of another job, I wanted to apply for an actual school nurse contract position for the school district. However, I would not have any benefits, low pay compare to hospital, and no guarantee if next year I am eligible for the next school year. There is no paid time off. If I missed a day, then it is deducted from my pay schedule.The good side is that I have all holidays off, and is family friendly job. I wanted something part time to be able to be there for my son, but this position offers full time. But then again I would be working until May 2015 with no guarantee for next year employment. I am wanting another child and this contract schedule would be flexible for me. Should I take this school contract job full time, or should I wait on another part time job elsewhere? Please be nice when responding.
  4. Hello everyone! I need your insight and experience from my interview. There was a short application online that doesn't require submit resume just the basic names and position, etc. I did that then after about three weeks they call me to come in and talk. I come in and ask what position and time of day I'm interested in and experience. I'm a new grad so I don't have any experience just only my clinicals. The director of nursing also let me fill out a personality questionnaire like if I smoke weed etc. then she let me talk to the supervisor ( peer interview). The supervisor even introduce me to others that I'm a new nurse. I also got to walk on the floor they are hiring. then when I spoke with her she said that interview will stop until next week. Now it has been two weeks. I call her three times and she always said let me tell them (HR) to call you and "we will call you" but never give me an answer like "a decision has not been mad yet" or I'm hired or not hired. I even left a voice message in the HR and they never call back. What kind of management is this? I can't imagine if I'm hired how it is will be working here. Anyway I'm a new grad and it it hard to find a job here. I will take anything if they hired. please tell me what do you think does it mean I'm hired or not by the clues I'm given. I am certain I will not call them Again because they won't pick up anymore after that. I don't call everyday just only three times to the director of nursing because she doesn't say anything like let them call me or we will call you and it has been two weeks already. Which I believe she won't. I will put this behind me and think that I did not get hired and look for other jobs because most of the time they will not call if I'm not hired. Ok tell me what ya think.
