So, I am still in orientation, but in 6 short shifts I will be off to the races on my own, or at least that's been the plan. All along I have been doing well on days, and not so great at night. (I am currently rotating until June, and then am suppos...

New nurse orientation is one of the most eye opening experiences in becoming a nurse. You shift from being coddled to experiencing what the real world is like. Even nurses who change jobs have difficulty with orientation because nursing is so detail ...

Note: Read my previous topic for more details about what happened Long story short: I was terminated from my first nursing job at the end of my 12 weeks of orientation because I was not competent enough to work independently on the floor without help...

Would you consider switching jobs in the middle of orientation if you were offered more money (like several thousand dollars more per month) and you were familiar with the place that offered the job? I hate to burn a bridge but I could so use more m...

I am so grateful to have been offered two jobs (one part-time in LTC, one temp part-time in hospital) at the same time. My only issue is arranging orientation shifts for the upcoming month. Between finishing off my last two weeks at my previous job (...

I'm a new grad (graduated in August) and I've always been interested in working in the NICU. Unfortunately, because of COVID we were never allowed to go to the NICU during nursing school (even though, I tried many times), so the reality is that I lik...

I am starting a new job soon as an APN and its only my second job. I've been at my first job (as an RN) for 9.5 years, so I don't know if things have changed a lot since I started my first job. I'm not sure if its because of COVID or if this is how...
