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 well. There were a couple of hiccups here and there...

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. River&mountainRN, I definitely hear you. While it's ...

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 employment without disclosing that I had an illness I need...

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. They were not severe and no harm came to anyone fr...

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 problem is, I previously worked at a different UHS f...

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 shoes, and I would still give it a shot despite y...

I think I've already made it clear that I've tried to pay them back. But no worries. Got the job with no problem. Thanks for the clarification. :)

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 almost in the clear. But I'll still be wary and I'll u...

Good to know! I'll stick with the greys anatomy ones.

has anyone tried Januu? I'm searching for scrubs, but I wanna make a good and fashionable investment. lol

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. I left for medical reasons, not that I should have...

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. And you're right, i should've stayed on the down l...

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 timer wouldn't stop the infusion since it was pig...

Thank you!

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 interview. I'm just waiting for the official offer from HR....

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 hurt.

You should try South Texas! There are tons of hospitals that would probably hire you. Of course, that would mean relocating. Just a thought.

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 anxiety. I once made a horrible mistake. I have like...

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 insight as a patient, only as a nurse.

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 pediatric unit for a total of six months and left ...

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 EHRs. But I guess there's no pain in trying. And ...

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 which paid way less than floor nursing. I had to d...

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 this forgetfulness. For example, carry a note book w...

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 can lead to crisis, so taking care of yourself is ve...
