I graduated with my ADN May of 2025. I stated on a busy step-down where I had multiple preceptors due to scheduling. I ended up leaving at the 3 month mark due to not being able to adjust to nights (they refused days for me), feeling unsupported with the heavy patient load, and management.

I have now been a school nurse for over 6 months and am well into my BSN and hope to graduate in 2-3 semesters. The school nursing job is great but the pay is horrible and I do want to get bedside experience for potential career development in 5-10 years.

How hard is it going to be to find job at the bedside when I leave this school nursing job in a year? I did apply because I thought I was moving out of state. I probably did 15 applications and only 1 interview that did not hire me.

13 year old dachshund with IVDD (6.5 years) and beginning stages of a collapsing trachea (4 months). He takes daily medication for cough, pain, a muscle relaxer, and anti inflammatory. He was recently treated for a mild upper respiratory infection but the color and amount of snot never changed during the antibiotics. He still plays/eats/acts normal other than the frequent “goose honk” cough and thick green snot rockets. Any ideas what this continues to happen?
