New Grad
Currently on my 5th orientation as a new grad. I already have 1-2 patients by my own or 3-4 patients with preceptor. I always confuse whose the doctor I supposed to call for update/lab result or change condition.

After graduating my RN, I’ve been working in nursing home for 2 years now. What unit would you recommend I should start or apply? I’m planning to go work at the hospital but I’m not sure what type of nurse I’d like to be or where to start.

How long should a hospital give you to decide whether to accept or decline an RN offer? I had an interview (that was only about 15 minutes long) and was offered a position less than 2 hours later. They gave me 5 days to get back to them.

I'll be turning 55 this year and also will be graduating as a nurse! Do you think there’s still a good chance that I could get hired as a Labor and Delivery Nurse? I’m currently in Montana.

If there is such a nursing shortage, why don't more employers offer reentry programs to nurses who have not worked for a number of years (raising family)? We have a lot of experience and knowledge but no one will give us a chance.
