  1. Burned out and hate nursing

    Hey RN1023, I just switched to a insurance job and feel like it is a great field to switch into. I'd recommend learning medical coding if you are heading in this direction. Message me with any questions.
  2. Patient dilemna

    I'm switching to a new job and wanted advice as to how to tell some of my homecare patient's I will be leaving. One in particular is emotional at times and appears to be attached as he states that the nursing visits lift up his mood and his chronic w...
  3. Need supplies ASAP

    Does anyone have experience with obtaining pt glucometer strips and BD insulin syringes. I have a pt who's MD did not write directions (according to pharmacy) for the glucometer strips so they are holding them. Pt has 2 strips left (just discharged f...
  4. Left Nursing After 3 Months and Couldn't Be Happier!

    Thank you for writing that. I just wish I knew what field to go into from here and how to afford that. I so admire nurses who can do it and be happy with their career; it's not for me however.
  5. Worse and worse

    So I switched jobs finally, took me a year... over 8 interviews and dozens of applications. I was trying to 'escape' a medsurg job that brought me to tears many times and led me to glorify starbucks baristas. Now I'm in home health and find that I'm ...
  6. Discouraged

    So I recently started a new job at a small HH agency to get away from the chaos of the hospital. I'm just finding Home Health to be close in stress level. My training was only 2-3 weeks and now I'm off on my own and there is only 2 other nurses as se...

  10. The happy policy

    I'm not allowed to be anything but smiley. Sorry if I must sneeze.
  11. The happy policy

    It's so subjective and leans towards favoritism! I was so irked when I read the thing; wish I copied it so I could give a more accurate description of it. Glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks this. Oyy management. Must be easy to be 'happ...
  12. The happy policy

    There's apparently a policy in our workplace, a new one that says something along the line of; Anyone who appears drained, unenthusiastic, unhappy in anyway etc. can be asked by the manager to leave that work day in order to reflect on their behavior...
  13. I'm a BSN RN with a year of med-surg experience in a hospital. I've applied to several outpatient Physician practices through CMC/CHS in N.Carolina and have been rejected for all the jobs! Any idea what they might be looking for? I'm not an internal ...
  14. Certifications?

    I have applied to an occupational health nursing job just now! What types of certifications would I benefit from getting and how would I get them? Currently I'm a RN with one year experience on med-surg. I don't know much about occupational nursing ...
