It's a home health care agency. I am somewhat confident in my assessment skills, I just feel like it would be a big comfort if I had an orientation or shadowed a nurse for a few shifts but that's not possible within an agency.

Hi, I recently graduated and obtained my license as a registered nurse. I've been looking for a job for the past month with no luck. I've tried NGG and everywhere even the rural areas. I got a few calls but it always ended once they found out I had no experience. I just recently tried applying for agencies. I was wondering if it is worth the risk for a new grad to work in an agency? The position I applied for required one year of experience and yet they are giving me a chance. I feel like taking it since I do want to start accumulating experience but I don't know if I want to take the risk of just heading into the field with no orientation.

Hi, I'm doing a nursing care plan for a client who experienced complications/side effects with using a PCA pump (mostly felt drowsy, later nausea and vomiting). I don't know which nursing diagnosis would be best for this client. I thought there was one for ineffective pain management, but there is none. What should be my diagnosis? I tried looking for other nursing diagnoses but none seem appropriate to what I want to talk about. Or should I just use the nursing diagnosis of Acute pain since her pain is originally from having multiple bone fractures.
