I am a new nurse that got into a pilot OR nurse residency program. I signed a 2 year contract with the hospital and unfortunately hate it. There are many reasons (toxic environment/people, bad management) just all together hate doing it. I dread going to work. It is stressful beyond belief and most of the time, every bad situation is beyond your control. I want a career change. However, before I do decide to just walk out, I want to know that I didn't have any other options. I would be interested in forensic nursing, but through everything I have read, nothing really gives me any info as to how to get into it. Any thoughts? I do not want to go back for my masters just fyi. I am curious about other positions that allow me to not truly physically care for the patient. I am desperate. I have a nursing degree, but don't want to truly be a nurse. I cannot work on the floor. Is there a magical desk job? Maybe even hospice care? This is a mess but i'm open to anything. Are there nursing positions providing indirect care that are achievable for a new grad?

I have recently graduated with my BSN and have passed boards. I want desperately to go into cosmetic nursing and learn injections as well as skin treatments. I am having the most difficult time finding available job opportunities for me. Most plastic surgery offices want RNs with OR experience. When I look at OR job listings they too require OR job experience. I have even contacted many offices with no luck. So I need experience to get a job that requires experience I can't get because I can't get the job...It's impossible! I am wondering if anyone has any advice as to how to get into cosmetic nursing as a new RN. I'm in the Houston, TX area and I am willing to move. Thank you!!

Congrats to everyone who was accepted! Best wishes to those still waiting! :) Okay so I accepted the offer and paid the $200 deposit, but then my check mark went back to a green circle and there was no new info on my main student page. Is that normal?

The page won't load, but my connection is fine.

Is anyone having trouble getting into their my star?

Does anyone know when they send out early acceptance emails?

So if we didn't get an invite today, then we have to wait another 2 weeks? I'm already going crazy and it's just the beginning!!
