whygeeRN

i was accepted to 2 other MSN programs, when i was applying the dnp felt like the obvious choice. Now it doesnt feel so obvious. are you going for fnp?

Hey i recieved my acceptance email today as well, congrats!! Does any one know anything about the program, feedback from current/prior students?

Resign while you are still on orientation. Orientation is very costly and if you resign now you're not wasting their resources for another week. I recently resigned for a position while on orientation because it was too far also, It wasn't safe for me to commute 2 hours after a night shift. goodluck!

The majority of the hospital isn't great looking but the ER is in the new building so it's really nice

Right now I can't switch within my hospital. The money is basically the same and aside from vacation and sick days I get medical benefits from both. the commute is an extra hour both ways

I've been an RN for 6 months now, when I started my job hunt I was lucky enough to to find a part time med surg day position at a private hospital, I've always been able to pick up extra shifts so I never felt like I was working part time. now I'm being offered a full time position at a public hospital in the ER, this hospital is also much further away from my home. Hands down I love the ER more than med surg, I felt excited to be there, however I'm not sure about the night shift or the commute. Many people are telling me I'm crazy to leave a private hospital for a city hospital, while other tell me the ER is the obvious choice. I would love some more input thanks

My bf asked me this same question a few weeks ago when I started working. Honestly it's almost like changing a baby's diaper. If you were to change your nieces or daughters diaper you wouldn't then look at your GF any differently. And to be honest dealing with a patients private parts is a little bit embarassing for the nurse too so the mindset and feelings in the situation are totally different than when a nurse is with her BF.

Hey so here's the short story, i have a part time position on a med surg unit for about 6 months now. I almost always work full time hours but have part time benefits. I was offered a full time Ed position at a public hospital. At first I was soo excited and then I started thinking . I'd be taking a pay cut and the hospital is further from where I live, BUT it's the ED lol. I don't know what to do, should I stay at my current job or take the position of a lifetime almost lol. I forgot to mention my position now is days and the ED position is nights.

I'm in the same predicament I was offered a position in the ED in a level 1 trauma center and I have about 5 months of medsurg experience but idk if I should take it I'm scared but so excited lol

Just quit I was doing private duty nursing and quit after a month it wasn't the right environment or job for me. I also don't think it's fair to only get a week orientation at my hospital its at least a month and if you need more it can be extended. AND don't get discouraged I'm in my first nursing job and right off orientation I made so many errors and forgot to do things but it gets easier!

Don't get discouraged!! You'll pass it!!

heyy i was hoping you could tell me how the test was? I will be taking it next week thanks!!!
