  1. Hello all. Here to get some advice from my nursing professionals out there. I've been an inpatient bedside nurse for almost 2 years now and I'm feeling a pull to change directions in my career. I love the rewards of my career and am grateful for the ...
  2. Do you ever plan on leaving the bedside?

    Yes I do. Been an RN for 2 years now and already feeling burned out. Actually thinking of leaving nursing altogether to become an RD/nutrition and to pursue my ultimate dream in culinary arts!
  3. RN to..Nutritionist? Fused position?

    Okay cool. And I'll keep you updated as well. Good luck!
  4. RN to..Nutritionist? Fused position?

    What a coincidence! I'm am looking to do the same exact thing. I'm an RN with a BS and my interest has been shifting to nutrition, health and wellness recently. I've been working inpatient acute care for almost 2 years now and I can feel myself getti...
  5. Virginia nurse roll call

    I'm in Hampton Roads also. Graduated Dec.07. Working surgical (med/surg dumping ground) currently. Have mixed feelings about what I'm doing. More bad days then good. Looking to transition into cardiology somehow. Have an interview this week on a PCU ...
  6. What exactly is PCU?

    Okay so my next question is what are my chances of landing this position when I have no experience with cardiac/telemetry/step-down/pre-ICU pts? I'm 1yr plus out of school and work on a surgical unit (which lately has been the medical dumping unit). ...
  7. What exactly is PCU?

    Thanks for the input you all. In my hospital our PCU is like a cardiac stepdown pretty much how Eirene described it. The hospital I'm interviewing for PCU is more like our ICU here in my hospital.
  8. pros and cons of PEDS vs ADULTS

    I battle with doing adult focused nursing vs. peds sometimes. I see that nurse recruiter pointed out a good characteristic in you that would go well with the peds population. I like that she was honest with you about the type of environment you'd be ...
  9. Negative Threads

    By the time I get home at night, I'm to tired to log on to rant. But on my days off I log on to see other posts that are going through the same exact things I did at work. This particular forum is a reliable source for me to vent and empathize with o...
  10. What exactly is PCU?

    Just wondering....I'm currently seeking employment on a Progressive Care Unit. In the hospital I work in, the PCU is like a cardiac/med-tele med-surg unit. The nurses sometime take up to 6 pt, the same that I do on the surgical unit I work on. I have...
  11. ACLS

    Thank you all so much for your advice. I will definitely get with tele monitor tech in my hospital and look at strips. We did that in clinical in nursing school and it was helpful. Thanks for all the great websites too. I'm currently working med-surg...
  12. ACLS

    Hi all. I signed up for an ACLS class this summer. I'm really looking forward to it, what do I need to do to prepare? I have no cardiac background and am a 1st yr nurse. I plan to open up my Med-Surg book, but I didn't really understand rhythm interp...
  13. Has Your Facility Ever Tried to Have a Set Schedule?

    Scheduling sucks on my unit. Our scheduler for day shift turns the schedule in to the manager and she changes everything then put the schedule out a week before the current schedule ends. We're supposed to be on 6wk schedules but it's only posted for...
  14. Any RNs that are fitness instructors?

    I would love to some day instruct a fitness class! I'm in shape and blessed with a fast metabolism but i'm not disciplined enough to hit the gym/trail the 4 days I'm off from the hospital. I need a day to recover from work, another day the catch up o...
  15. I passed, my NCLEX-RN jouney has come to an end

    Congratulations! Welcome the Nursing!!!! That was the easy part, the real journey begins
