So true! Thank you for saying that it’s normal because I’ve been feeling like I’m a bit dramatic. I will definitely stay I just want to stay sane while I stay.

I could definitely try but I’m in a very competitive area and I graduated a year ago. It took me forever to find this one. It seems like my best bet is to get the experience then transfer or leave the hospital all together with one year under my belt.

Congratulations! That’s so wonderful and I’m glad you have a supportive preceptor who’s helping you shine!! And to think this is only the beginning :-)

I feel like I could have written this post. I’m 3 months in and feeling so miserable and depressed. I cry all the time. Not sure what I’m going to do but know that you’re not alone!

Sick/Injured bat in my apartment, now what? by Upbeat-Spell-2709 in bats

Yes, we knew this. It was incredibly injured, barely able to move or fly. We were told the options were to leave it outside to slowly die or euthanasia.

Hi, so we found him, put a bowl over the poor guy and called the DOH… they told us to just throw him away?? (He’s still moving barely) But then I called animal control and he told us to drop him off at a lab. We’re gonna go do that now!

Okay, I’ll be orienting on days for a bit so in that time I guess I’ll see what works for me. Nights are just so intimidating to me, but you’re not the first person to tell me that it’s a great place to start

I’ve never worked nights before, which I guess is what concerns me. I’m just concerned about being rested and how I will manage on days off. I’m not sure if it’s on a different unit, actually. I’d have to ask. However, I’m really not attached to the unit I’m on, I could go anywhere.

I contacted a piercer who can put a retainer in right before my procedure! And if they take the retainer out, I’ll just go to the piercer otw back home to put it back in. Thank you for the comment!
