I feel pretty lucky to be hired. I actually had multiple job offers so I guess it was a good time to move. I feel a little better because I spoke to a nurse who is in the same orientation as me. She has 7 years experience and she said this is probably the most stressful hospital shes ever worked at. so far I havent had a patient thay has been anywhere near the acuity Im used to. So i think its coming but im glad that it hasn't yet. Thanks for the comments I think that Im going to stay here for six months and if they don't let me transfer I'll leave the hospital. I love the idea of working in endoscopy or a outpatient wound care center. Anybody ever worked in these settings?

Im actually working in Scottsdale. I was pretty schocked when I started working because all the reviews said it was such a great place to work.

Hi, I could really use some advice from fellow nurses. I got my BSN a little over a year ago in Alabama. I worked for ten months on a med-surg/stepdown unit before I decided to move to Arizona for family and opportunity. I just started my new job a month ago and I feel like it was the biggest mistake of my life. I absolutely hate it. I work on med/surg oncology. I take 5 patients which is the same as the other hospital but I feel like this hospital is really behind in medical care. We use one of the worst charting systems I have ever seen. There is still a weird mix between paper and electronic charting.The Doctors never put in there own orders they make the nurse do most of it. pretty much I dont feel safe nursing here. I'm not sure If I even want to be a nurse anymore. I wasn't happy at my first job but now Im miserable at my second. I feel like I will always be miserable no matter what I do.I honestly just want to cry every time I go in and I have anxiety attacks when I just think about it at home. I know I hate the hospital but everything I looked at requires 2 or more years experience to get out of the hospital. I cant hold out for that long. Dose anybody have any Ideas on what to do? Maybe nursing isnt for me what else can I do without more years in college( I cant afford anymore debt right now)
