I had 2 days of virtual orientation and I’m already feeling so overwhelmed. I also got my first schedule on the floor and I’m orienting on nights to start with 3 different preceptors. So the way that thd schedule is stacked really doesn’t seem like it works in my favor to sleep.

I’m orienting in a different unit than im working on for whatever reason and am doing the night schedule for 3 weeks and then switching to my permanent unit. I know working nights is a right of passage but I feel like it would be easier to start on days, get used to the busy flow and then if I decide to apply into nights I can work nights.

Idk, just feeling stressed and could use some encouragement. Any tips on managing nights, sleep, etc would be helpful

I recently got hired for a new grad program and was told I would get a job on a specific floor . With this I assumed that I would be orienting on that floor but just received news today that I will be orienting on a different unit and will transition to the unit that I will be hired on after they feel I’m ready.

Is this typical practice or should I try to arrange to orient on my own unit? They said it’s because of numbers and how many new grads there are, but to me it doesn’t make sense to get accustomed to one unit and finally feel comfortable enough to be on my own and then have to switch all over again to something new.

And what if I like the unit I’m orienting on and want to stay there?

Thoughts?

I previously posted about my sizing: I originally purchased a size 8 and it was too tight and exchange for a size 9 which is now way too loose. I wanted to exchange for the eight again but now oura won’t let me and I don’t know what to do now. Has anyone done this before or have a trick around it?

Anyone have one! Looking to place a big order - starting my first ever job in a few weeks!

My boyfriend and I had sex this morning and he wore a condom and finished , and then immediately put another condom on so I could. He did not wipe/wash himself Is there a risk of getting pregnant from this? I am freaking myself out about it even though the chances seem so slim, I’m on day 13 of my cycle so worried about ovulation. Should I take a plan B?

Would you rather work 8 or 12 hour shifts just starting out?

How long does it take to appear in my statement after purchasing?

Took my NCLEX yesterday and tried to do the Pearson Vue trick and got a pop up saying that my results are on hold. The charges to my card were refunded. Shut off at 85 and I did not feel confident at all. At the end of my test the proctor did have to restart my computer because it got stuck on a loading screen before taking the post survey.

What does this mean? Likely fail? Will I not get results in 48 hrs?

I unfortunately missed the boat in the recycling program to mail in and the closest storefront to me is out of state . I’m a new grad and want to get rid of all of my school scrubs and get some new sets for work. Do they offer mail in anymore?
