Hi
haven't been back for a while but was contemplating leaving that small hospital after my last post. I did resign because it seemed unsafe and I wasn't prepared to jeopardise licence. I have applied to a post graduate position in a large hospital and pray there's a job with my name on it. The offers come out in May and we start in July if we get in. I cannot wait to get started. It will be exhausting, stressful and maybe I will wonder what I am doing there. In the meantime I have applied for another job, it's one day a week and two hours each day at a boarding school. The Nurse in charge who will be with me , if I get the job, has had experience in A & E and ICU so I am sure she will be able to teach me a lot. Is this a good way to go because I want to get as much experience before I start the grad program as possible. My husband is in a care facility and I really need to get out and have some mental stimulation. Just how scarey is post grad nursing for a new rookie and do most nurses survive?
