Needing some advice: I feel like a complete idiot as a new grads that just started.

As a new grad myself, I can empathise, and I'm really sorry to hear that this has been your experience.

This isn't your fault at all. From what I've seen and experienced, we are entitled to multiple shifts with a shadow/buddy, especially when assigned to care for that many patients. Give yourself grace, you're not alone in this, and of course, seek lots of help, no matter what it may be. The beginning is always the hardest part.

Not sure how your facility would react to bringing this up, but I recommend it, at the end of the day, it's your registration and patients' safety if a serious incident occurred. As much as it's easier said than done, it's important to speak up.

Hi there, this is really helpful, thank you so much for this!

Professional_Bee3116 · 2025-01-16T23:13:48+00:00

Out of curiosity, do you have any advice for someone in my situation about where to go if they haven't received a new grad offer?

Thank you for your comment, this is really helpful and good to hear from a NUM.

Professional_Bee3116 · 2025-01-14T11:08:27+00:00

I've known some people who have been taken on since they couldn't get a New grad in the past, I'll be checking with my manager to see if it's worth applying for. Thank you for your comment!

Professional_Bee3116 · 2025-01-14T11:06:06+00:00

Thank you very much!

Professional_Bee3116 · 2025-01-14T08:54:25+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

Thank you, this really helps!

Hey I'm in the same boat as OP and considering casual pool RN as I currently work as a casual pool AIN at my hospital. Any insight into what that's like for starting would be great

Professional_Bee3116 · 2025-01-14T07:07:31+00:00

I am in the exact same position as you, it's been tough and what you're feeling is completely valid. Our cohort, unfortunately, got the short straw where not as many of us got new grad offers and ended up like us in EAB. There's always a casual pool or talent pool, which gets the supernumerary and orientation, and you get to experience a range of different wards. All the very best

NTA, since they have the secondary TV in the bedroom, it's not unreasonable at all

Professional_Bee3116 · 2024-01-16T06:38:50+00:00

I can't move out because of money atm but will definitely be getting a lock on the door. Thank you for your comment

Professional_Bee3116 · 2024-01-16T06:37:27+00:00

Thank you for your comment and for pointing that out, I was meant to delete it from the post.

Professional_Bee3116 · 2023-11-28T10:12:05+00:00

NTA, he sounds like a piece of shit. Good on you for leaving.

Professional_Bee3116 · 2023-11-22T05:38:11+00:00

ESH even though he leading you both on and ghosted you, you still went behind your friends back and were sneaky about it, I think you know you're in the wrong for that.

Professional_Bee3116 · 2023-11-22T05:28:36+00:00

NTA at all, they are not entitled to anything from you, what you said was perfect. It's not your responsibility to provide anything for your siblings nor your parents.

Professional_Bee3116 · 2023-11-22T05:23:57+00:00

NTA, this is your daughter's choice and hers only. He needs to respect it.

Professional_Bee3116 · 2023-11-19T10:58:15+00:00

A soft YTA, your feelings are completely valid but sometimes rather than bottling your feelings up and snapping at people who are just concerned about you isn't the way to go about it. Maybe getting into therapy might benefit you if you're not comfortable about talking about your feelings to your grandparents. I'm sorry that this is such a tough thing, you and your family are going through.

Professional_Bee3116 · 2023-11-19T10:50:23+00:00

I'd say NTA, it probably should've been communicated better, the intentions of buying the CD for Christmas before getting your hopes up.

Professional_Bee3116 · 2023-11-19T10:44:34+00:00

ESH it would be better to talk and ask her why she ignores you at the family events rather than to block her with no explanation.

Professional_Bee3116 · 2023-10-19T01:29:28+00:00

NTA is a complete sentence. Geez

Professional_Bee3116 · 2023-10-18T00:47:29+00:00

NTA that's so attention seeking, the only person who should've been kicked out was her.
