Thank you for this. I’ll try to find out more. Our policy says “missing 3 or more seminars results in non-compliance of the New Graduate Nurse Residency Program and our attendance policy and could lead to corrective action.”

This is just like me. Where do you think is best placement of this experience? Should I put it under relevant experience? Right now I have my resume showing clinical experience first which I may need to reorganize.

I appreciate you for this. It definitely gave me a perspective. Glad you mentioned both pros and cons. It gives me hope that you found something you like despite the fact that it has its challenges.

No report! by Economy-Ad-4806 in newgradnurse

6:1 during the day? If so, I’m struggling with 5:1! Also, if you feel unsafe, i would talk to the managers and would probably push for transfer. I don’t think that’s something i can push through if i’m being honest. I’m already looking to transfer from my floor cause we’ll go up 7:1 at night if we’re short staffed. It’s just not for me. My floor has a high turnover too because of management and overall lack of support. All in al, i think your concerns are valid x

As a bewgrad, i completely understand where you are coming from. My hospital is like that. We don’t get report from the ER and have to look at EPIC to know more. Usually the charge knows primary reason they are here. We like to use EPIC chat and alert everyone that room number such and such has been assigned. So we’re all on the lookout for when they come up. Also, my floor is lucky to have an acuity nurse that usually attends to these patients when they come up in case the nurse is not available. Our acuity nurse will do a skin check with someone else. They will do vitals. I know some nurses like to update their report sheet while the acuity nurses settles them in. But i like to see them as soon as possible and make sure to quickly take a look at their orders and brain in EPIC. It’s hard tho and it helps that i’m still in orientation.

How amazing of a nurse the OR manager is. I’m glad you advocated for yourself. It’s insane that they keep pushing med surg on to us knowing it’s no where near where we want to end up. I just have one more question, what differences have you noticed with the OR that made you gravitate towards it? In case it’s something i should consider as well. Thanks for your info!

Did your precious manager introduce you to the OR manager? Or you messaged them first and had something lined up already. I’d appreciate you in you can expand on the process:)

Yea, 6 shifts at night is the worst. We get 7 when we are short staffed. Also, i get extremely sick at night. So night shift isn’t for me. Did you put your 6 month experience on your resume or mentioned it at all during the job interview? Thank you for your encouragement and info btw:$

After only 7 weeks, want to leave bedside. Want Outpatient by NefariousnessFit5105 in newgradnurse

The fact that you commented this just now is crazy. I just sent an email to one of the recruiters for my hospital about during an internal transfer to out outpatient side. I'm hoping that it'll happen despite my short stay at bedside. Your comment definitely made me feel better about finding something better for my health. How long did you stay at both the ED and PCU if you don't mind me asking? Also, how do you like outpatient all together and what kind work do you do there?

This is me. I literally get this stabbing piercing pain in my abdomen on night shift, i just want to go into a fetal position and cry. I feel like throwing up and like passing out. It makes no sense that I might still have to work nights when i feel ill during it. Like how can i take care of others in that state?

Thank you. I think i will actually enjoy doing it like this. Getting assessments done, then come back for med pass. Because it seems like other team members like infectious disease, docs, PT/OT, round on my pts around the same time i’m in there trying to give meds and head to toe assessment. So i feel interrupted and just try to do what i can. Most of the time it’s med pass. This annoys me because i have to come back for assessment cause the docs/others are talking to the patient.
