3. Quitting nursing

   beachfashionnursing replied to sbostonRN's topic in General Nursing

   Do what will make you happy. I am leaving my ICU job for a less-paying job in IR but I cannot put a price on happiness. I loved the ICU but it was stressful. There were nights that I worked that I didn't feel safe and/or I felt that I am jeopardizing...

4. New Grad Leaving Hospital for Office Job

   beachfashionnursing replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Career Support

   Have you ever thought about ICU? I loved working in the ICU because it really gave me experience and it sharpen my critical thinking skills. Most of the time, the residents relied to us (nurses) for answers. You had to think quick when a patient is d...

5. OMG!!!! Got the "good" pop up!! Does that mean I'm an RN?

   beachfashionnursing replied to suzana123's topic in NCLEX

   I think you can check somewhere online, 24-hours post test. Try your state's Board of Nursing. I paid $10 to get my results five years ago :)

6. RN Salary

   beachfashionnursing replied to greyL's topic in North Dakota

   I live in Florida and the starting for new grads here is $23 I believe. Are you working nights? The night differential here is roughly $5 more per hour. Plus, we also have Clinical Ladder.

7. The 'what ifs'

   beachfashionnursing replied to mofomeat's topic in General Nursing

   I have been a nurse for five years now and here's what I know so far: 1) Its okay to cry. I cried one night inside the med room infront of my colleagues. I was charge nurse and had a full load of busy patients! 2) If a patient yells at you, do not ta...

8. Maybe im not a nurse

   beachfashionnursing replied to juswannabenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I did horrible in some of my nursing classes. I did well on L&D and Pediatrics but I do not work in those fields now, nor have I ever worked there. Don't give up. Try a different studying method. It took me a minute to understand "critical thinki...

9. I got fired today...

   beachfashionnursing replied to patrickh_rn's topic in New Nurse

   But every management is different I guess

10. I got fired today...

    beachfashionnursing replied to patrickh_rn's topic in New Nurse

    I'm so sorry this happened to you. I think it was a little too extreme that you were fired over this. I work in an ICU and experienced nurses have made mistakes as well as new grads. To name a few... 1) putting a pressure bag on an EVD 2) ignoring ar...

11. 12 hour shifts...dangerous?

    beachfashionnursing replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Safety

    12 hour shifts are tiring. I am starting a new job soon that is 8-10 hour shifts.

    beachfashionnursing replied to rachel3332's topic in Florida

    Moffitt does not take new grads. TGH wants BSN. Good luck!

13. Managing a transition to night shift?

    beachfashionnursing replied to 274216's topic in Stress 101

    They're hard but they pay well. My first nursing job was on nights and I absolutely loved it.. not so much now because I am older. Take a really good nap during the day. I used to clump my shifts together so my nights off are also back to back. I nev...

14. Last semester but.. I Hate Nursing!

    beachfashionnursing replied to mitral's topic in General Students

    You can land a job at a doctor's office or school nursing.. Something that is relatively low-key. I work in the ICU now but I am leaving it for another position because it is too stressful. I can't stand seeing patients that sick to the point that th...

15. Quitting?

    beachfashionnursing replied to FreckledCoffeeRN's topic in Stress 101

    I have been a nurse for 5 years now. I enjoyed all my jobs except for my current one. Good news is: I only have a week left in this job. I am starting my new job in 2 weeks, different department and different hospital. I understand the feeling of be...
