You give me HOPE! I started from the bottom-13 years as a caregiver and CNA in a well-known hospital. I then advanced to work as an LVN for 2 years, but the demands of that role became overwhelming-I was responsible for passing medications to 55-62 patients daily, with only two weeks of training as a new nurse. When COVID-19 hit, the workload and stress intensified, and I ultimately decided to leave. Despite the challenges, I was determined to move forward and pursued my RN through an accelerated program. I passed the school exit exam and the NCLEX on my first attempt, securing a nurse residency position with a $25,000 bonus. However, now, just two weeks into the residency, I’m struggling. My training has focused more on documentation and charting than on actual patient care, and everything is strictly timed, which constantly makes me feel behind. I’m beginning to question whether the hospital environment aligns with my values and goals in nursing. Although I’ve been told that working in med-surg or acute care is essential to be considered a "real nurse," my heart and mind aren’t convinced this is the right path for me.
If you have any updates on employers who will gladly take new grads, please let me know. I’m almost 3 months into my postpartum residency and I am struggling 😢
Do you have any tips for an RN who's had 2 years experience on a Med surg floor and wants to go into a specialty? I feel like I need guidance on where to start.
@@remotenursefern so are there any that are hiring new grads or RNs who are only a year in? I’ve been looking and haven’t seen anything especially not in UR. I’m finishing my year and starting to look again. Was interested in school nursing too but they all ask for 3 years experience too

What companies do your recommend that are new grad friendly
Elevance health used to be but it is difficult to find remote roles that accept new grad applications - most want 3-5 years of clinical experience.
@@remotenursefern ok thanks 😊

Can you work as a remote nurse or any field if you are not licensed Registered nurse… But With a bachelor science in nursing?
