I’d also like to add that I have no problem getting someone a drink of water or chasing meds, because I do care about my patients. The issue I have with all of this is that with increased patient acuities & complexity, even in 12 hours, certain t...
New nurse here, second career. For me, yes school doesn’t adequately prepare you for the fact that your job is going to have these ever increasing, unrealistic expectations of you. When I left school, I thought that I’d be able to provide the care ne...
.. And I know I’m not alone in this sentiment. Many of my former classmates who are less than a year at bedside are already planning their exits. Many nurses who are more experienced than I have made remarks about needing something different about it...
Before I begin, let me just say I love my unit & my patients and the majority of the staff I work with is amazing. Idk if it's a first year thing or what, but I'm so exhausted. Bedside is very overwhelming and I often feel like I have to do my j...

That's what I'm trying to do because it seems like the best fit but the company I work for or got hired for is very disorganized. I've been trying to get scheduled with them but they only call on days I'm not available.
The main issue I have with workstudy is the pay, since I'm the only one providing for my son I need to make a little more than what work studies offer.
I got into the RN program at my school and I begin in August. I am a single mother of a 1.5 year old with pretty much no help when it comes to caring for him. After viewing the tentative schedule for the course (which is 4dats a week, 5 if we have a...
