Hi I just recently passed my psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner boards. And was wondering if anyone ever worked remotely for their first job? How was your experience and did you like it? I have been seeing a lot of remote jobs online that take on new grads. One of them being cerebral. Has anyone ever worked for cerebral? Would like to get feedback. Thank you.

Is there anyone starting the FNP program at Florida Southern College in Lakeland this fall? Or does any one know anyone who is starting?

Thank you and yes they offer now the FNP program online.

No they offer a FNP program online

Thank you for you opinion. So what you are trying to say is that they do not have a great reputation? Or that you haven't heard great thing about that school?

Hi I am wondering has any one gone through the online Family Nurse Practitioner program at University of Phoenix? How was your experience? Did you like their program? Was it really hard doing the FNP program all online? Would like to hear some feedback. Thank you!

This might be a random question if you put in a two week notice at your job. Can that manager put you in a do not hire list and hinder you from ever coming back to the company? I had to quit my job do to personal reasons a couple of months ago. I actually sat down with the manager and told her the truth and she seemed to understand the situation. She asked me if there is anything she can do for me. She said I didn't have to work the next two weeks that as of that day it was my last day. But my question is, is it possible she could have put me on the do not hire list?

thanks!!

It really depends on your hospital but i know where I worked at you get 8- 12 weeks of orientation and if you need more time you tell your nurse educator or manager. They are usually ok with it they prefer that you ask them rather then to be thrown out on the floor and feeling like you should have gotten more time.

I actually got the job I am so excited!!

About a month ago I got a phone call from a local health department near my house. They called me to schedule an interviewed. The interview went well and they told me that they really liked me and keep in touch with me. The following week one of the recruiters send me an email saying it was a pleasure to have met me but another step to the process is to answer a question that she send me via email. This all happened like in the beginning of April. Well last week I called them because I was interested on my application status. The lady I spoke to I will let you know your status next week (which is this week now). Well just the other day she sent me another email asking me for 3 professional references. I gave her my three professional references and they all told me 3 days ago that she had called them. I guess this is all a good sign that she got a hold of my references. But my question is does anyone know by chance how long the hiring process is at the health department? I spoke to one of my friends that has a friend that works in the health department and she mention to her that it took her like 2 or 3 months to actually find out that she got the job. I was wondering if this is true? I have always wanted to work in the health department and they seemed to have liked me oh btw they did say I was on the top of their list!!!

I am a new grad nurse. I am about to enter my third week of training. My preceptor is a good person she is teaching me a lot. But she even told me what are you doing on this floor? This floor is too tough for a new nurse. I work on a neuro/ med surg unit. I can not deny I am already hating this floor the patients are all heavy. I feel like all I do is pass meds. You can tell that the nurses that have been there for some time dread being there themselves. You can just see it on there face. I am not going to lie before I walk into work I cry. I think to myself wow I don't know how I am going to do it on my own. On night shift and six patients that are all heavy. My mother has noticed how stressed out I am and told me maybe I should leave the hospital for sometime and go back to school. She has told me money isnt everything your health and state of mine is more important. I am not going to lie I have thought of quitting and going back to school for my masters of something. And taking some time out the hospital. I feel like the hospital isnt for me. I don't know if how i am feeling is normal. All my friends say do your time and leave. But idk if I can stay there 6 months. I feel if I stay there I will be jeopardizing my license. Sorry if I am venting I just need some advice. I am sure there are some that have felt like me or been in a similar situation. And what did you do to overcome it? I have just worked to hard for my license just to lose it like that. Maybe I am just being paranoid. I know as a new nurse your options are very limited. I do have hospital experience as a CNA but not a nurse. I just want to be happy.

Thank you so much. I will see how it goes on day two with my preceptor. She did say on the three days we have off if I think of any questions to ask her when we get back together.

I recently graduated in December and took my boards in February and passed. I was accepted into the Nurse Resident program at the hospital I work at. I started as a CNA about 3 years ago and well now I am a RN. Yesterday was my first day to a totally new unit. I met my preceptor she was surprise to see me and said, "I did not know I was going to have a new Nurse with me". Honestly I don't know if it's normal to feel nervous, scared, kind of happy all at the same time. But if you ask me I am more nervous then anything. A millions things run through my mind did I make the right choice with this career? Will my charting be ok? Is 8 weeks of training before I go on my own enough time for me to understand everything? I don't want to be that nurse that doesn't get it and well the manager has to terminate. That is one of my biggest fears. Well back to my preceptor I know that I just met her yesterday but you can kind of tell she isn't the teaching type of person. She even admitted to me yesterday I am not the teaching type of person but yet they are always giving me nurses so I can train them. Yesterday was kind of a slow day she did try to teach me some things I am not going to lie but she said you chart the best you can not everything is going to be accurate. She would talk so fast and go so fast and expect me to have gotten it. I did ask her questions. I just don't know I felt like I was bothering her like she probably wished I was not there because literally the day before I was there she had a nurse that finished training with her. So she probably wanted a little break and bang here I come the next day. I was talking to my best friend, which she is a nurse and she told me give her a chance for the first week if you feel like you guys are not a good match I would immediately tell your manager because it will be your license on the line if you make a mistake. Oh I am also going to be working nights. Is that a good start for a brand new nurse? And the thought of getting 6 or 7 max patients at night I am freaking out. I'm sorry I just needed to vent and I am sure there are plenty of people out there that understand. Another, thing the nurses on my floor each have their own papers to keep them organize though out the day. Do any of y'all have any suggestions? Or know of a website that might have some of papers that can be printed off to keep you organize through out the day? For example some of them use an SBAR while some don't.
