   I have 6 years of RN experience. The recruiter tells me my credentials are great, but the hospitals she's putting me in for, are not calling me.

2. Waiting for a travel assignment

   No. My specialty is med/surg with surgical and orthopedic experience. I have not asked for any specific hospital. I just want to be near my family. They live in Delray beach, florida.

3. Waiting for a travel assignment

   ANNIENURSEANGEL posted a topic in Travel

   Hello fellow nurses. I need to know how long do I wait for a travel company to find me an assignment. It has been almost 4 weeks. Do I tell them to forget about it, and just find a job when I get there? I feel my recruiter is trying her best, but I ...

5. First night shift this week...

   ANNIENURSEANGEL replied to crossfitnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I have been working night shift all but 2 years of my nursing career. I have been in nursing for 8 years. Everyone is different, but the most important thing is to get enough sleep. Buy black-out curtains, make it cool in your room, turn off the tv. ...

6. Anyone left nursing TOTALLY...what are you doing now?

   ANNIENURSEANGEL replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I would love to have my own bakery, maybe make breads, pasteries, and donuts. I would love to be my own boss. My parents owned their own business, and it was alot of work, but also rewarding. If, I ever leave nursing, that is what I would like to do.

7. Should I stay or go?

   ANNIENURSEANGEL replied to CosmicCare's topic in General Nursing

   Make your concerns known to the administration. This is the right time to do it. You need to feel comfortable in order to do your best work. I have worked in a LTC, and even with the pages of medications you have to pass, you still have to remember t...

   ANNIENURSEANGEL replied to Toadd35's topic in Registration

   I went through the same thing. I took the NCLEX through Florida, passed, then endorsed my license for Nevada. It didn't take very long. I think it took about 2 weeks.

9. RN going back to be a medical assistant

   ANNIENURSEANGEL replied to nurse441's topic in Career Support

   Don't settle for being a MA. That gives you no nursing experience. Keep putting in those applications, and resumes. If you need a job, find one in the hospital. Do your networking that way, and they can also see how you work, and your work ethic. Sta...

10. Holiday Pay-- Anyone else heard of this??

    ANNIENURSEANGEL replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    I just recently started to understand this concept of holiday pay. I don't get too frazzled about it. When its my holiday to work, I work. What I don't like about Holidays, is that co-workers with kids, think they are entitled to have holidays off. I...

11. Why did you choose nursing?

    ANNIENURSEANGEL replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    My dad and I had a talk one day, about my future. My dad tells me to pick a career that you will always have a job, and that you won't have to rely on a man, for your financial security. I took his advice to heart, and picked nursing. Nursing has sec...

12. Do rural hospitals orientate their nurses?

    ANNIENURSEANGEL replied to LostnNakedNursing's topic in Rural

    Rural hospitals do have orientation for their nurses. It is just different from the bigger hospitals. Rural nurses will not let you go until they feel you are ready. Rural nurses like to know about you. So be prepared to give you life story a few tim...

13. I would like to hear your opinion.

    ANNIENURSEANGEL replied to pinkberry555's topic in Rural

    It sounds like you have a lot more questions about this new position. In my experience, the pay does not mean it is a good work place. You need to research turnover rate. The nurse-patient ratio. Good luck in your decision.

14. New Grad - First Job in OR!

    ANNIENURSEANGEL replied to nursenatty14's topic in Operating Room

    congratulations! Is that where you want to be in your career? I am surprised you wouldn't want to take care of patients on the floor first. Good luck to you.

15. NIGHT SHIFT CENTRAL!

    ANNIENURSEANGEL replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone's comment about night shift, so far. I have this feeling of a general disregard for night shift people, and the fact that we work just as hard as day shift. We catch a lot of mistakes, too. People in the hospital don't all sleep...
