  1. Finally decided to quit nursing

    I will also add that I have went back to school to finish the MSN degree that I never finished at the urging of one of the cardiologists that I work with. The stress of bedside was just too much for me and have one patient at a time works much bette...
  2. Finally decided to quit nursing

    I had been struggling with not wanting to bedside for a long, long while. I have been an icu nurse for 8 years and just could not do it any longer. My family suggested to try travel nursing so I didn't have to deal with the politics. That was no help...
  3. Just got a job teaching medical assistant and cna students. I am working on my masters degree and have always wanted to teach. I know this isn't an ideal position but I think it would be good experience since I want to eventually teach full time. Has...
  4. Finally decided to quit nursing

    When I first became a nure I did truly like it but I don't know if I have changed or the job itself has changed or maybe even both. This was not a purely emotional decision. I have been wanting to quit for about a year now and kept letting myself get...
  5. Finally decided to quit nursing

    Hi everyone. I have been a nurse for over 7 years and for the past year I have debated getting out of the profession for good. I had just finished the week long hospital orientation for a new job and was to start clinical orientation Sunday. Between ...
  6. I have a large soft watery lump on my back

    Sorry, medical advice is against the terms of service. You need to see your physician or nurse practitioner. I feel certain as soon as a moderator sees this post it will be closed.
  7. I'm a nut case and about to apply for licensure in Texas

    Call the BON tomorrow and ask them. They will be able to tell you exactly what they mean by that question. I peronally would answer yes and then offer explanation. They may require documentation from a physician or psychiatrist that you are not curre...
  8. Bankruptcy and Jobs

    I am not, by any means, saying that bankruptcy should be a first option. I tried everything to pay the debt but it simply wasn't possible. My situation was a bit extreme. My ex-husband ran up my credit cards without my knowledge and even opend some c...
  9. Bankruptcy and Jobs

    I filed bankruptcy last year and it was discharged last July. I have not had any problems with getting a job at all. I am a travel nurse working with a few different agencies and none of them or the hospitals have mentioned it. I have also been able ...
  10. Hypothermia Protocol

    I work at a facility in South Florida and these patients are 1:1 through the entire cooling and rewarming process. That is approximately 36 hours.
  11. How many call ins?

    The facility in which I work considers 6 or more abscences in a rolling calendar year to be excessive. If you reach 6 abscences you are demoted on the clinical ladder, ie RN II to RN I. I really don't know what happens if you are an RN I because I ca...
  12. Rules of the Dr.office

    37. Do not show up in the office with a sob story about how you can't afford your meds while carring a Chanel purse and wearing Polo jeans. How about don't spend you money on that stuff and buy your meds?!
  13. texting at work

    I admit I occasionally text at work, but I always excuse myself to the breakroom when I do so. I have also been known to send a text to a doc that says "Call me in CCU when you get a sec, no rush" Then again we know our docs really well and have thei...
