    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to fazeila921's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Faz, I went to N.S. in GA, sat for my boards in GA, then 6 mos later endorsed to come to NY. It can be done. The NCLEX is nationwide so it doesn't matter where you take it. NY is notoriously...

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to love for nursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Figures the MD drops the ball and leaves it to the caring, overburdened, compassionate nurse to clean up the mess!! I'm so sorry this happened. I tell my nieces and nephews that they should be able...

  8. Just disgusted

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks Viva, good to know this. The one thing my many preceptors at my last hosp said pleasant about me was that I have strong assessment skills. The bad thing was poor time management. I was...

  10. Should I stick with LTC?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to TruDivaRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Donna, I just PM'd you, but wanted to add you are correct in saying how NH and LTC are overlooked in NS. They sure were in mine. But to all reading this thread, I'm a fairly new grad (off boards...

  11. Just disgusted

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hey Viva, this is exactly my mindset for leaving the hospital venue. No one on the OB floor was happy. All the staff nurses came in draggin each shift, non-stop complaining, archaic work conditions...

  12. Don't know if I'm going to make it as an OB nurse

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Calzone, ONLY 12 weeks of orientation???? Lucky you! Sounds like you have more orientation ahead of you? I was booted out of OB because I was told that they were being generous to extend me beyond...

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to Jan RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. Albany Rally for Safe Staffing Ratios???

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to loricatus's topic in New York Nursing

    Gosh, wish I could go to this. Oh wait, I lost my job days ago and so now have time to go!!! Because my own institution (NON-UNION) with all its propoganda on retention and recruiting never did try...

  15. no critical thinking here

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to chriscolin's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Gosh Chris, if I only had 2 couplets on PP I might not have suffered a nervous breakdown and had to quit. My whole life is crumbling down around me now and I am scared to death of what I'm losing...

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to SunnyBeach_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    thank you all for your kind remarks and to those of you who have PM'd me w/ your sweet words and advice. I wish I had taken the name of the nurse who wrote this, so if you are out there and reading...

  17. Easy to get a job?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to 987!'s topic in New York Nursing

    Kukla, I cannot offer advice on that area, but I can tell you to not sit around and wait for your NS to place you. They are your resource and will offer letters of recommendation, but it is your job...

  18. My Confidence Is Shot--need Help Overcoming Fear

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to SunnyBeach_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks Mom, I needed that so badly. Worst part is having to call my realtor tomorrow, 2 weeks away from closing on my very own home to say I need to back out. I mean I have no income. How can I go...

  20. My Confidence Is Shot--need Help Overcoming Fear

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to SunnyBeach_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks JJJ, exactly the way it happened for me. But I think this, coupled w/ the actual first clinical experience I've had since becoming licensed last August is enough to tell me I am just not...

  21. My Confidence Is Shot--need Help Overcoming Fear

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to SunnyBeach_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    M2M, I got canned tonight in a 10PM meeting. I was given "opportunity" to allow me to "prove them incorrect" on my ability to perform off orientation. But I'd be shadowed by /audited by a "proctor"...

  22. So frustrated.

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to Virgo_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sure SofM. The Travelers are even more despised. On my unit anyway. But all the burned out angry nurses who have entitlement issues just mutter under their breath venomous thoughts about them. And...

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    I am efficient enough. I just can't eat fast enough!! On the rare occasion in my overnight 12's, I will always have charting in front of me. Cafe is closed overnight and there's nowhere to go, but...

  24. Will you watch what I'm doing for God's sake!

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to sarahbellum's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OH yes!! And also this one when you cannot get through and the preceptor is fed up w/ trying to explain, "just do whatever you want" in an aggressive tone mind you. Do what I want? How do I know...

  25. How many times have you cried???

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to CareBayer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey Mike, I never studied Taoism, because my religion professor loved Hinduism so much we never got off it in time to study the others in the syllabus. Does your quote to me mean it's ok to cry but...
