Stick it out for the four more months. It looks better on your resume and will give you a leg up when you go for your interviews. ICU experience is great to have but most places require at least 1...
You will make mistakes in your career especially being new. Give yourself credit that you are actually reflecting on them. This is a great thing because you're able to acknowledge that you were wrong,...
Started this thread to find out how many of you feel that you have accomplished job embeddedness. In what type of setting do you work? What is the culture of your organization? How many years have...
Taking picture is not allowed in my facility. There's a whole policy on it. We let the family members know that it is against hospital policy. But if they take it when no one is there we really can't...

That's awesome. I was at my previous job for 2+ years and politics from management and the workload caused me to start looking elsewhere. I've learned that if you can't fix it or make change then move...

Thanks I really felt like quitting. I've been a long term looker for many years even before I became a nurse, looking for my first job, and interview tips for the job I just landed. I felt I should...

Ok good for you. I am not getting college credit either. To think I came on a nursing board to actually talk to professional nurses about topics I am interested in and all I am getting is backlash....
