  1. med-surg to endo or PACU?

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm coming up on a year of med surg nursing. Med surg isn't my passion though I do generally like my job and love my Co workers. I'm strongly considering PACU and endoscopy. There are positions open...

  2. med-surg to endo or PACU?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It turns out that's the case with the PACU at the hospital I want to apply to. I'm not sure if they require ICU experience at my current hospital but I don't want to start a new position there...

  3. Having difficulty working on med-surg, telemetry unit

    tinybbynurse replied to emorales2010's topic in Medical-Surgical

    That's totally normal. I especially feel like at least the first few months are more task oriented and less big picture because you're still getting the hang of performing your

  4. Doctors office job..think I made a mistake...

    tinybbynurse replied to Marshall1's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Oh and also!!! One more thing. You may have more days off at the hospital, but you still are always having to attend a staff meeting on your day off or stay late for it...or being required to go to...

    tinybbynurse replied to Marshall1's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Nursing encompasses SO many areas now ...hospital is NOT the only area anymore!! If you have RN behind your name, you are a nurse. I currently work on a med surg floor ...only been about a year but I...

  6. no reply from nurse manager

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I recently applied to a position I really want ....the unit I have wanted to work on for a year. I applied 4 months ago, got a phone interview, but didn't make it past that. I was told by someone who...

  7. Being blamed for fall after shift

    tinybbynurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is not fair to you. Falls happen ALL THE TIME to all nurses!!! It doesn't make you a bad nurse. Say you asked another nurse to watch your confused pt....would they have done that or would they...

  8. no reply from nurse manager

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Also I really need to find SOMETHING before next winter ....I'm currently driving far away to my current job and where I live we get a lot of snow and harsh winters ...last winter was mild, but even...

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Haha I do realize this is the real world ..and this isn't my first nursing job. I plan on reaching out to other units as well in the children's hospital. I was just making the point that it's my goal...

  10. Nurses smoking weed?

    tinybbynurse replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I know many of you are saying weed is not psychologically addicting etc ....and I'm not saying it is or it isn't. But smoking too much is just ridiculous. I like to drink but do I drink every single...

  11. Nurses smoking weed?

    tinybbynurse replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital .... they don't even drug test people upon hire. Yes, they have the right to random test you ....but no drug test upon hire?! That was a first for me !!! Apparently some people say it's...

  13. hospital, Dr office, outpatient?

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Short background: I worked as an LPN for a year in a SNF while finishing my RN. Worked home health as an RN for 2.5 months not because I wanted to but it's all I could get when I moved to my current...

  14. Do I keep searching for the hiring/NM or leave it be?

    tinybbynurse replied to TNursingStudent's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    All hospitals are going to generally tell you to go thru HR. No HR member will likely tell you to contact the NM....but it doesn't mean you shouldn't! It often is a good idea. If you ARE able to find...

  15. Clinic (Doctor's Office) Nurse vs. Hospital Nurse

    tinybbynurse replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in Nursing Career

    I know this is old ....but my take: I'm currently in a hospital ...hasn't quite been a year. I do enjoy it, but it's med surg and I'm tiring quickly of the kinds of patients I see. Mostly COPD,...

  16. Dear Preceptors

    tinybbynurse replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I was blessed enough to have amazing preceptors when I started my current first hospital job ....I can only imagine having bad preceptors who made me feel scared or nervous .... (one or two scary...

    Thanks guys! Based on all of your insight, I can now say I feel like I could definitely enjoy PICU and will Def look out for positions there in addition to the in patient peds. While so far my goal is...

  19. do babies frequent your PICU?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Well I fell in love with NICU at some point ...just applied but didn't get past the phone interview so I'm trying my hand at other children specialties in hopes to either transfer or find out I like...

  21. Phone Interview for NICU!

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am definitely let down though .... but I know I've only been an RN for a year so a few years from now I could very well be in NICU. There's hope.... but it still stinks. I want to do travel nursing...

  22. Phone Interview for NICU!

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I didn't get it ...just sucks when there a new grads getting into NICU all across the country and I've been an RN for a year and LPN one year prior. I'll admit only 7 months has been in the hospital,...

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I applied to a position I really very badly want. Didn't make it past the phone interview. (And if I did they sure do take a while to get in touch so I'm guessing not) It's been about a month since...

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Amb218: for whatever reason the positions posted on this hospital's site doesn't tell any specific qualifications! None of them specify, they all just say something along the lines of "depends on...

    I just really want this floor ...it's kind of why I agreed to move to this state hundreds of miles from home ...I wouldn't have if they didn't have a NICU. Looks like I'll just have to get more...
