I've been lurking around all nurses for a while contemplating whether or not I should give clinical nursing another try. When I graduated in 2015, I was hired in to a pedi unit where I seemed to do...
Hello everyone, I just wanted to provide a quick update. I began work as a RN case manager for a home health agency. I was only provided with two weeks of training, which I'm hoping was enough....
Thank you much for your supportive replies. I have also thought about home health and I'm hoping to get a job soon. I've had a couple of interviews, but it's hard to explain my short terms of...
Hello everyone, I am regretful to say that I did not thrive in the position I was offered. Everything seemed to go well, until I started making some mistakes and I take them really hard and personal....
Hello, I recently interviewed at a UHS facility and was offered the job on the spot. They're running background checks and I'm set to take a drug test soon. I was given a conditional job offer. The...

Two years of non nursing work doesn't sound too bad. Maybe take a refresher course prior to applying at hospitals so when you're interviewed, you can share that experience. I was just recently in your...

I understand. I won't do it again. And everything looks to be on the green. I'm already signing all the new hire paperwork. They've already done the background check and drug test. Looks like I'm...

I wasnt expecting to work for this company again. And I don't really see how I burned them twice. I put in the two weeks notice, left on good terms with my supervisor, and mostly paid off my balance....

The deposit wasnt that much. So not a huge loss there. And I don't owe UHS that much either. That's why I was looking to repay them, but they said I had to call payroll, who then told me to go to HR....

My worst mistake... piggy backing magnesium and delivering an excess of 100mg to a patient. I was told by the pharmacy to just hang the bag and set a timer, which I did. But I should've known that the...
I just wanted to give a quick update: I got a job! A dream position in a dream city! I'm a little nervous about all the change, but I also welcome it. They offered me the position during the...
Well, I know that they considered my application with only 6 months experience. But I said I wasn't interested in the end. But you should give it a try! It wouldn't
Breathe. Like stated above, the educator and risk management have to investigate the incident so that it doesn't happen again. You made a mistake, but it's a learning experience. I understand your...

I agree! Don't disclose your mental health. I was told by another commenter that I would be seen as a liability, which in my previous job experience is totally true. They will not appreciate your...
Thank you. I will keep in mind the thing about over sharing. And I will also be mindful of my state of mind to prevent/manage manic episodes. Your words give me hope.
Hello, A little background about myself, I am a BSN RN and I left the bedside too early. I got sick- at the time I was undiagnosed, but I knew i had some type of mental disorder. I was working in the...
There are limited places for me to work at in my city. I did apply to a position as an RN at our local nursing home, but I don't really know how to feel about it since my heart lies with working with...
The system is not letting me reply to your message so I'll do it here. I totally understand what you're saying. I had to face those issues too. I left the bedside for a job in the mental health field...
I'm sorry to hear you're struggling. I'm not too familiar with forgetfulness like yours. I do experience some mild forgetfulness myself, and I think you should develop a plan of action to cope with...
As long as you maintain the diabetes under control and you pace yourself, you can achieve it. I'm not gonna lie, you will have to be incredibly disciplined. An imbalance in your physiological state...
