| Director of Nursing Are there any DON here? If so, how did you get your first job and what advise would you give. If you have not been a DON, what would you say from observations.

Mood:   | Re: Director of Nursing I haven't been one, but can honestly say, 'You ain't gonna please everyone all the time.' Whether it is the schedule, the assignments..... someone is gonna be cheesed off. |

Mood:  | Re: Director of Nursing I am hoping to work my way up to Charge Nurse in a few years, and maybe pursue ADON. However, with Vandy being such a large hospital; I will have tons of competition.

| Re: Director of Nursing I was charge in my ER. Why are you waiting for a few more years to do so, Robert?

Mood: | Re: Director of Nursing Because, I work at Vanderbilt and most of the nurses I work with have been there 20 years or more. Therefore, I have tons of competition. I want to spend a couple of years building up my clinical skills, etc before challenging such a role.
