5. Why I'm leaving nursing

   Vacationtime247 replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sure a lot more people would leave nursing if they weren't buried in debt. See it all to often. New nurse, excited to be in their new position, goes out and buys a new car, new house, and other big ticket items. Great! If that makes you happy...

6. Who Should Clean Up, Offgoing Shift or Oncoming Shift?

7. Who Should Clean Up, Offgoing Shift or Oncoming Shift?

   Vacationtime247 replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

   If you're to lazy to clean up after yourself, don't get mad when I do it for you. Case in point. Every day I'd come into work, the break room was a mess from the last shift. Food, drinks, perfume, nail polish, phone cords, you name it, it was thro...

9. Describe your ideal coworker

   Vacationtime247 replied to AbigailJo's topic in Relations

   Someone who calls off work after already being 20 minutes late. A coworker that sits behind the desk on their tablet but doesn't answer the phone. A person who isn't afraid to take the last copy or supply without making copies or resupplying. A br...

11. Would you do it all again?

    Vacationtime247 replied to wooten3955's topic in General Nursing

    Still in nursing, would choose it again. But not for the reason most would say. It pays well and is easy to find a job. It's not a career. Work just part time, enough to pay the bills and have some extra. Found out early in my nursing days that ...

    Vacationtime247 replied to Sixtr's topic in General Nursing

13. Where in the US do they need RNs really bad?

    Vacationtime247 replied to Nazzerena's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, lived in Indiana for years. It's a horrible state to live in. If you don't live there already, DON'T MOVE THERE! Here are just a few reasons why the OP should stay away from Indiana. Indiana discriminates against gays and lesbians. Law allow...

14. Where in the US do they need RNs really bad?

    Vacationtime247 replied to Nazzerena's topic in General Nursing

    Oregon needs nurses badly. The pay is good and the scenery is amazing. The Pacific Northwest also needs nurses. Again, the pay is good and you'll get to enjoy the Redwoods and the Ocean. I know you mentioned moving to a place where people don't w...

15. No failure to communicate

    Vacationtime247 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    My personal favorite is, "I need some help, I need some help, I need some help" repeated x 1000+ q hr. Started using that line on my kids. They love it about as much as I do. "What do you need help with?" *blank stare* Repeat, "I need some help"...
