Hi all! I am currently a "newly graduated" registered nurse aka NEW GRAD working at a nursing home. Yes, not my first choice, but with the economy and the influx of new nurses, I couldn't get anything else.
I had some pretty crazy experiences going through nursing school and wanted to create a site to help others w/ some resources. Namely: COST. Nursing school is expensive and let's face it: We work like slaves for free at a hospital or nursing home. Actually, we are PAYING to work like slaves when you factor in the cost of tution, books, etc. Whether you are going to school because you love nursing or because you are strapped for cash we all need one thing: Resources. Okay, money too.
But going through school w/ the right tools and resources are helpful. Also, some funny upbuilding experiences help us along the way. So, start sharing. From buying used/cheap textbooks, to helpful tidbits and advice, stories, or just venting about your clinicals can all be helpful tools for other students.
OKAY. So here's how it works. Every week there will be a new topic for sharing resources. This week its introductions. So, introduce yourself and where you are at in your career.
***********Rules: YES, there are some rules.
Please, no names. C'mon we ALL know about hippa.
No stories or experiences that are directed towards an individual or instructor.
NO CURSING, PROFANITY, ABUSE. Please do not partake in horizontal violence early on in your career. If you dont know what horizontal violence means, look it up. Or, better yet, share your experiences.
