3. Thinking of leaving management to return to bedside nursing

   Gratefulprn replied to bboopRN4's topic in General Nursing

   You are the one who has to get up and go to the job...not your husband or anyone else. If your desire to return to bedside nursing is so strong then you should go back - bedside nursing - like management - will always be there in some form or another...

8. Being bought by DaVita,,,,help!!!!

   Gratefulprn replied to nlhrn's topic in Urology

   I was offered a position w/Davita sometime back. I declined it because of the required travel - both in and out of state - as well as being told there is a Davitease (?) language that is spoken and team mates work 10-14 hours/day every day they work....

   Gratefulprn replied to Harrison's topic in Urology

   I was offered a position with Davita last year...It was GREAT money but I was shocked when I was told the days are an "average" of 10-12 hours and that traveling to meetings within state and out of state was required. Though the clinic was nice and t...

13. What if you don't want to be an RN anymore?

    Gratefulprn replied to inthesouthrn's topic in General Nursing

    First, I would suggest seeing someone re: the depression...that alone can color your perception of yourself and your life and effect your ability to think clearly, etc. Make sure there is nothing going on physically with you - hormones, etc. as well....

    Gratefulprn posted a topic in Georgia

    Anyone work PRN at Gwinnett Medical? If so, do you usually get enough hours a schedule or is it a few here and there? I know it's an excellent hospital to work at but it's too far for me to drive 5 days/week but I've seen they are hiring some PRN's a...
