1. Favorite NICU traveled to or worked in

   quittaRN replied to Macimc's topic in NICU

   Hello, I live in CA, the bay area and I work in a level 3 medical NICU. We don't do surgeries. I LOVE my job we have a lot of fun at work. I never feel overworked although we are short staffed at times but we work as a team so you never feel al...

2. Will I have a hard time ever getting another job as an RN if I was fired from my last job and had my license temporarily suspended and reinstated with stipulations?

   quittaRN replied to T Z's topic in Job Hunt

   Yes I do believe many jobs will have a hard time looking past or around that to hire you but I don't think it's impossible for you to find a job. I think you will just have to not be picky when looking for a job and be open to whatever comes your way...

3. Do you have a side hustle?

   quittaRN replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

   My side hustle teaches others how to start their own business with low up front costs as low as less than $500 and as an added benefit I'm still helping families so it goes hand and hand with nursing. I am seeing so much profit that I may have to qui...

4. PICU, NICU, or Peds ER as New Grad?

   quittaRN replied to pedsrntobe's topic in General Nursing

   I think if you like ICU then the PICU would float your boat. I think you would like it. Lots of action, very busy and very, very sad. So if you can handle the sadness then your good to go. The NICU can be sad too but not nearly as sad as peds er or P...

5. ED or NICU

   quittaRN replied to Sue Kossowsky's topic in Emergency

   I think you should stay in the ER. It seems like that is where your heart is and eventually you may get burnt out or tired of the fast pace and the NICU may become a topic again. I think while you still can you should continue your work in the ER an...

6. Transitioning to management while maintaining my bedside position

   quittaRN replied to quittaRN's topic in Management

   Hello JRT1, Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it. That is what I was thinking that as a manager I wouldn't have the time to work another job because it would be so demanding but I would just hate to go into management and realize that I am...

8. Transitioning to management while maintaining my bedside position

   quittaRN posted a topic in Management

   Hello All, I have an MSN in leadership and management and I have always known that one day I would like to work in management. I would like to one day become a CNO but I am in no hurry right now. I have a job that I absolutely love and I work in man...

9. Tampa to Sacramento Nursing move. Is it worth it?

   quittaRN replied to Mursanary's topic in General Nursing

   Hey fellow Tampanian, I moved to California from Tampa, well I moved from Tampa 11 years ago but I have been in California since 2013. I have lived in southern California for a year and northern California for about 5 years. I have a love-hate relati...

10. Changing jobs.

    quittaRN replied to nurseguy213's topic in Professionalism

    It is never a good sign when a job is in such a need for you to start that they are okay with you leaving your previous job without at least a 2-week notice. I also think that you owe it to your current job to give them a 2-week notice especially sin...

11. SoCal job market 2019

    quittaRN replied to hellonurse7's topic in General Nursing

    How about you take on a travel assignment just to get an idea. I think you would really like it in SoCal and Texas is not that far so if you wanted to return home you could probably do so pretty easily. At least as a traveler you are not locked into ...

12. 60 hr work week cap?

    quittaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think a mixture of 12s and 8s is reasonable forcing people to work 8s is not so much since many nurses become nurses because of the flexibility in schedule and working less days a week( 12 hours 3 days full time/ 2 days part time compared to 8 hour...

13. Is it worth it?

    quittaRN replied to jolil's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Happy you got accepted to SMU, many of my coworkers went there and they really loved it and valued their education. I wish you the best of luck in school and finding a job.

    quittaRN replied to sbanoo's topic in PICU

    I know its been a while since you posted this but I too am about to return to PICU nursing after being out for about 4 years. I have been working mainly NICU but I have missed the PICU dearly. I am wondering if you returned to the PICU yet and if so ...

15. Nurse dies after assault at job. She finished her shift first.

    quittaRN replied to missmollie's topic in Headlines

    This breaks my heart all the care that nurses give everyday and we are attacked. Nursing is such a dangerous job and yet many of us still choose to do it. My heart aches for all nurses who have to deal with abuse, bullying and being attacked on the j...
