   I love this response. Thanks for acknowledging the abusive nature of rotating shifts. Not everyone gets that.

2. Can I travel in L&D after only 1 year?

   newgrad_13019 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've been a nurse for 2 years in med-surg. I recently started L&D, but my ultimate goal is to travel. Do you think it's feasible to travel as an L&D nurse after one year on the unit? My unit is very fast-paced and high-risk. I'm getting burnt...

3. New Nurse: Discouraged and Wanting to Quit

   newgrad_13019 replied to newgrad_13019's topic in New Nurse

   I'm so happy to hear that I'm not alone. It makes me feel crazy when my family and friends are working 9-5 work from home jobs, and I'm over here jumping ship every 6-12 months because I can't find the right fit. So many people don't understand the s...

4. Should I leave NICU for Labor and Delivery?

   newgrad_13019 replied to NICUnLDRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I would push through these last two months to get to your one year mark. You will have so much more freedom if you do, and way less anxiety about transferring. Two months will fly by, especially if you have an end date in sight. Good luck!

   I recently transferred to L&D, and these girls are MEAN! I feel like I'm back in high school. It sucks because I love L&D nursing (the patients, the patient ratios, seeing new life come into the world) but it is such a toxic workplace. The go...

   newgrad_13019 posted a topic in Career Support

   Hey all, I've been a nurse for 2 years. I've worked covid medsurg, neuro, and a bit of labor and delivery. I'm burnt out from the gossip, the politics, and the hours of inpatient nursing. I'm looking for work from home jobs, but all I can find o...

7. New Nurse: Discouraged and Wanting to Quit

   newgrad_13019 posted a topic in New Nurse

   I started working as a nurse in February 2020. I started in med-surg and did this for almost a year. Our "general surgery" unit turned into a covid unit within only a few months of me starting. I even took care of one of my coworkers who ended up hos...

   Hello everyone! I am pursuing a job as an acute care RN in general surgery. I'm a new graduate and was wondering if anyone could give me some insight as to what I can expect and if this is a good choice for a new graduate. I also would love interview...
