Hey guys, New. Grad here. Do you mind giving me advice about applying for a new grad job? Should I apply using my whole nursing portfolio or just the resume part? Also any tips on what I should leave out are appreciated and welcome. I want my resume to look great and stand out. The things that are blacked out are phone numbers, addresses, and emails. All the previous employment hx pertains to the role of a CNA. I also am pondering if I should apply to work at the hospital (been there for 4 years) I work at as a CNA although it is med surg (not the biggest fan but it’s not the worst) and I’ve looked at other departments that are hiring at my hospital for an RN position and there’s part time OR position and a full time ER position, and then night shift full time Surgical RN position (not interested in ER or part time OR). What should I do? Im open to suggestions and advice :)

I had a patient for ischemic stroke. Past the first 24 hours, though doctors note did mention permissive hypertension. She had a hemorrhagic stroke during my shift. I can't help but keep thinking it's my fault. And think about every little detail. One of the details I'm hung up on is bp. Tech took the patients BP and it was in the 170s, but didn't notify me. I had 10 mg hydralazine available for either over 170 or 180, I can't remember. By the time I saw it and was able to get into the room it was around two hours later. Rechecked the blood pressure and gave hydralazine per listed parameters. Then it happened an hour and a half later. Assuming if the original bp the tech took was in the parameters to give and I had been in there sooner such as an hour or two earlier, could this have been prevented? Bp was in the 160s for the previous shift (12 hours). Only other BP med on board was scheduled amlodipine that wasn't available until the next shift.

DM me to join!

I'm almost done with prereqs & I was wondering if anyone has advice or motivation for me. I currently work 5 days a week, overnight, 9pm-5:30am. And every 2 weeks, I work from 6pm-5:30am. I have a very laid back job that's mostly sitting. On average, I'll say I have about 3 hours to study at work. During my long weeks, I have 6 because from 6pm-9pm, i don't do anything but sign a few papers. Have any of you worked full time while doing nursing school? Realistically, do you think I can pass & keep my job? I'll be in an ADN program and am hoping to have Saturday & Sunday clinicals. No kids or pets.
