I work for a CCF regional hospital, NOT at the main campus downtown. I will never work downtown for a number of reasons. Mostly, I don't care for the environment. It's too busy and too big for me. There are parking issues, etc, that I don't want to h...
I did. Once. It was horrible. I physically did not feel well, and know that I did not give the best care that I could have. I wore a mask all day long, and explained to every patient that it was because of me, not them, that I was wearing the mask. ...

luv2shopp, I think we are in the same boat. I'm on a cardiac floor, and most days I feel like I'm sinking. I walk out of work wondering why I went into nursing and how they could even license me. I struggle with catching the "little things" and the a...
Patjohn, we probably do work for the same system. Let's face it, where we are, there are really only two choices. I don't believe that one is better than the other. I'm only 36 and have been at this for not even a year. When I started this career, I ...
I'm in NE Ohio and work for a large healthcare system. As a new grad in June, with a diploma and Assoc. degree under my belt, I started at $22.50/hr. As of my last pay stub, I grossed about $28k from June-Dec, and 2 months of that was at a lower pay ...
