2. New graduate question

   SkyDrift replied to jessicarami's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I started at a SNF, but Med/Surg is usually a good way to gain experience as a new grad. As a new grad working in a SNF, it was like being baptized by fire...lol. I also gained experienced with IV...

   5 days 8-hour shift at a SNF caring for 160 residents. Half acute, half long-term. I call it, the ultimate MedSurg floor

   SkyDrift replied to anilechim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Imagine every RN going for their NP...now that would be overly saturated lol I see what your professor is trying to say though. Healthcare is all about business. Almost everything revolves around...

10. How would you answer this?

    SkyDrift replied to LUCBSN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well it does answer the question directly. I don't think it makes you a potential "whiner" as you say. If you don't give example on how you handled the situation, then yes, it may may look like a...

    SkyDrift replied to LUCBSN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    "What are some challenges nurses face and can you give an example from experience?" This becomes easier to answer once you have 1 year experience at least. I would have talked about the patient...

    SkyDrift replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's just a job. You signed up for it. You get paid for your work. You pay the bills. Rinse and repeat. The only difference is the fact that some people may have more "passion" than others. How...

    SkyDrift replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

14. NP-MPH. Hospital vs home care for experience? And general advice

    SkyDrift replied to Digirols's topic in Nursing Career

15. Like the job, hate the nurse's schedule

    SkyDrift replied to echmorrill's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would ask your supervisor about this problem...sounds like personal issue to me. Maybe you guys can work things out if you tell them about your predicament. If you think this job is doing more harm...
