2. Is it a good idea to work 5 days straight (12 hours shifts/day)?

   Drowsyrn replied to happyface27's topic in General Nursing

   When I worked in the hospital and nurses worked more than three in a row.... They were bears to work with! Along with all the other reasons listed here, it made the other nurse's life bad. I would get so tired of the moaning and complaining during re...

3. You're Hired!......Then......

   Drowsyrn replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Job Hunt

   Sounds like a place I would not want to work! This reflects bad on them in my eyes. If this is how the manager runs her unit, not good. Something similar happened to me where the manager was back and forth with me then I was finally hired. Worst job ...

5. Desperate for a day time job

   Drowsyrn replied to Enowagi's topic in Texas

   Many same day surgery centers out there now. They hire per diem, part time and full time. No nights, weekends or holidays. Recovery would be your best bet. Not critically ill pts like inpatient surgery. Pre op comes in early 5-530 am but recovery com...

7. Waiting on a job offer

   Drowsyrn replied to Charlie92's topic in General Nursing

   It's very hard to say. I have had many jobs because my husband was in the Air Force and we moved often. The scenario was always different with each place. I always tried to have contact with the nurse recruiter. Call her/him and you can get the updat...

8. Lifting huge laundry bags...

   Drowsyrn replied to Drowsyrn's topic in General Nursing

   They had an orderly who did the stretchers and linen right before I started there. I literally thought it was insane when I first started and the other nurses did too because they were there when the orderly was there. Now they are getting used to it...

   If you know how to delete a thread, let me know. I posted this in the General Discussion area and stated my solution. There are some good posts over there besides the smile and settle method. I think nurses do that way too often, but that's another t...

    Hi WillyNilly, thanks for your post. I'm really curious how others see this. Do you know how to delete a thread? I tried to take it out of PACU thread. Anyway, I'm going to be the bad guy/girl here but I keep questioning if it is my job? I have done ...

    I have been a nurse for 15 years, the last seven have been in PACU. I can go through my whole story of how I have always been a team player, willing to go above and behind, blah blah. My problem seems small but it is really bothering me. I work at an...
