    Quit While in Orientation (New grad)

    Jedrnurse replied to SillyFever's topic in General Nursing

    I have doubts about the whole concept of 'dream job' anyway. As mine consists of great bennies, a good salary, and is a 0.00025 FTE, I put it right up there with wild unicorn

    Over $300k in student loans - help.

    Jedrnurse replied to friendlyskies's topic in General Nursing

    Sick of hearing there are NO jobs?!

    Jedrnurse replied to Royal_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You make some fair points but re: #3: (and I assume you meant saturated market) but if you've just graduated and don't have a lot of money in the bank due to...just graduating, it's really expensive...

    Student Nurse and Family

    Jedrnurse replied to ali.marie123's topic in General Nursing

    "Forced", "controlling". Your choice of words show that you give them too much power. Since you're in school, you may want to make use of the counseling services. Live your own life. If they disown or...

    I wonder if mom shows up to wipe this little gift-from-god's patients's butts (if she ever even became a nurse). Or, maybe mom just chews out the

    You have $150K in loans and you're (I infer) taking on more debt because you have to put your oldest through college? I don't understand this way of

    Co-Manager Colleague Late to Everything

    Jedrnurse replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Why not the truth? "When you come in consistently late, we always have to cover for you, cover the staffing phone, and cover your patients at care conferences.

    Afraid to put "Do Not Contact Supervisor" on Applications

    New RN who wants to skip the hospital.

    Jedrnurse replied to alynn2018's topic in School

    In my state, school nurses are required to have experience before getting licensed for school nursing; there are other requirements as well. Private schools are free to do what they want (and they do)...
