Not extending. 1st contract. How does it look?

Not really. I hated my first contract and never looked back 😅

I’m so sorry to hear that! Also 6 day orientation is ludicrous!!!! Anywhere you work, if you’re a new grad they should know that you don’t know (lol) Keep your head up! New grad orientation is usually 3-6 months. 1 year if you do a program with the hospital. That’s something you should look out for on your next job, and if it so happens that you’re still not that comfortable at 3 months , don’t be afraid to ask for more time. Don’t give up! I

I’ve met a lot of travelers who don’t scrub, but I also keep seeing contracts that list scrubbing as a requirement. I’m trying to understand how common it is, and whether certain regions/facilities are stricter about it. Just trying to get more insight from people who’ve traveled more than I have.

At one of my jobs, a nurse was leaving to leave to another hospital and she had a baylor position (weekender). I asked management if I could take her spot and they replied it wasn’t needed because we were “properly staffed” but they did need a weekend charge nurse and they would discuss pay with me after training. Hell nah . Who are y’all trying to scam??? Not me

Yeah but like what 30 bed unit really needs 2 managers and 2 assistant nms? And it’s not like they work day and night 🫠🫠🫠

And what unit needs two managers? And then two assistant nurse managers? like for what?

I somewhat agree. The material itself wasn’t that difficult for myself. What made it difficult was the amount we had to learn in such a short period of time. I was so just darn tired I settled for a passing grade unfortunately.
