RNuko

Has anyone EVER heard of a non-experienced RN in ER getting only 4 to 5 shifts of orientations? Is this even legal and how can any hospital justify this? Doesn't this put your license at risk by taking a position like this????

Thank you Ruby Vee!! This is what I wax and wane with, some days I'm so determined and then others I read forums about people's health being in grave danger from working nights!! It is refreshing to here someone say suck it up!!

Hello All! Glad to be on this Forum, here is my dilemma My new grad training is in NICU I relocated have been away from it about 3 years. I possibly have the opportunity to get back into NICU buuuut, its a night shift position. I worked nights for about 6 months out of school and hated it so bad and also felt like death. I really want back in and my goal is to start grad school, not sure about NNP or PNP but feel I need to go back to where my passion is to see what I want! I am so afraid of night shift I am almost going to turn down this position and fear I am messing up a great opportunity. I might add I work Mon- Fri 8-430 right now but cannot keep this schedule and go to grad school trying to fullfill clinical hours......please any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
