   farrasha replied to thatgirlisangel's topic in General Nursing

   Make sure that you’re sure before trying to do anything, if anything. I got my BSN going to school and working two jobs and literally didn’t tell anyone for fear that I would fail and be embarrassed. No one knew even my closest friends until I posted...

2. Social Anxiety

   farrasha replied to Blessed RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have terrible social anxiety and PTSD. I have been seeing a counselor and a psychiatrist, combining therapy and medication. I still have hard days in life in general, but I am making it. This is a career change for me and I had similar concerns in ...

3. Is this for Me?

   farrasha replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It’s never too late. I served 12 years in the army and used my gi bill because after getting out I was unfulfilled doing the same jobs I did in the army on the civvie side. I hesitated for a few years but finally jumped into school. I was far from...

4. Medication error

   farrasha replied to omotee's topic in Safety

   I did this during orientation during my sixth week as a nurse. Scariest moment ever. My preceptor had stepped away for a while and I was giving it on my own, something I had never given before. The instructions that were written were to give 1.2 m...

5. Who Did NOT Do a Year of Med Surg?

   farrasha replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

   It's possible to skip the year of Med Surg, I think Med Surg would be great experience and great area of its own but it doesn't have to be a stepping stone. it's a position that people like or dislike just like any other. As new grads, a friend of ...

   Interesting, I am a new grad and in my first healthcare related job ever... in my unit, we always have to establish two IV sites before we are even allowed to start a blood transfusion. So in my case, if I had a med order I could use the other site s...

   farrasha replied to CBerries's topic in Job Hunt

   Not sure if this is the norm, but a new grad BSN in Maryland, I applied to several new grad jobs in my area with no luck. I finally had to relocate to another state to get my first job, as it was the only place that even called me back for an interv...

8. Am I being too sensitive?

   farrasha replied to Rachelmaria4's topic in Safety

   Some people turn "mean" due to the way life or work beats them up but I think also some people are just mean. I can understand being exasperated and having a bad day but it sounds like she's crossing a line. I am a new nurse so I can't speak about ...

    The Maryland BON is so hard to get in touch with! I was on hold for five hours last week. My school still had not sent the transcripts so I ordered them to be sent to the board via FedEx off my school's website. Once I got confirmation that it arri...

    You can definitely do this. I just finished Nursing School... it was my second career after spending 12 years in the army. I am starting my new career in my late 30s. Before I started, I second guessed myself so much, even enrolling and dropping o...

    I am currently on hold with the MDBON... it's been an hour. I don't have to go to work til 5 so I can hold as long as they make me. But is this normal? Probably backlog from the holiday I'm guessing. Or is it normal to be on hold this long?
