    Have I been out of work too long to get a job?

    Sour Lemon replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Three months is not long, especially if you left your last job on good terms. I'd be careful not to mention "burnout" as a reason for the gap,

    1st Job Help

    Sour Lemon replied to helpnewnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Your questions are employer-specific. Every new graduate program is different. Holding two positions with the same employer may be possible, but potential for overtime pay would likely be a huge...

    Can't find a job! No job opportunities!

    Sour Lemon replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    As an ASN prepared nurse, I have fewer options than a BSN prepared nurse. If it ever starts to bother me, I'll earn the extra letters. Until then, I work for the people who want to pay

    Nursing Shortage!! It's real and it bites (new grads, can't find a job? Read this post!)

    Sour Lemon replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like a depressing place, but I like big cities. The bad thing about attracting new grads to this type of town is that they probably move on to someplace more exciting as soon as they're...

    Pursuing Education

    Sour Lemon replied to Haylay's topic in General Nursing

    If you were an average student with no "grown-up" responsibilities, a reality check is definitely in order. Pre-nursing (and nursing) is much less strenuous than pre-med and medical school, from what...

    Pysch nurses, how often do you do these things?

    Sour Lemon replied to outsidegirl's topic in Psychiatric

    This will vary a lot depending on the type of unit each nurse works on. On my unit, there are no wounds beyond minor, healing abrasions. There's no suctioning, either. A lot of our patients are...

    Sour Lemon replied to Name9335's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's extremely vague. I understand why you're being vague, but it's hard to offer any meaningful advice without knowing what the actual problems are. I hope you're able to find the right fit...

    graduated nursing school with an ADN. Then got charged with shoplifting. is my life over?

    Sour Lemon replied to misspleasehelpme's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    No, your life is not over, but you've probably created a good amount of hardship for yourself. When it comes to shoplifting and nursing, the best outcomes involve "youthful indiscretions" that...

    You're still relatively new. It took me about a year to feel "ok", and that was without switching jobs. On the other hand, it's concerning that both hospitals felt you weren't progressing well. Did...

    I'm eight years in and still have no burning desire to do anything in particular. I tend to be a content person in general, though. So I guess it depends on why you can't decide on an ultimate goal...
