    Depressed about a job offer

    Not sure why you applied for a shift you can't work. Looks like you set yourself up for that one. This is something you should talk with hubby about before you even apply. You're looking for a way to make him the bad guy by doing it the way you did.

    I need to vent :(

    Whoa, whoa, whoa!!! So many posters suggesting to move on and get a new job. The subject line is where your heart is- you need to vent. Any new job is a huge adjustment, nursing or not, granted nursing can be much more difficult. I know this from ...

    I am a new nurse and I had a pt make a false accusation.

    SICU or NICU what to choose

    NICU for sure. Its a larger hospital means more opportunity and possibility to transfer to other units if you want to go back to adult. It will be a better experience. Plus as a nurse educator the varied experience will serve you well.

    At a Cross Road

    You saved the most important reason for last. People on their death beds don't regret not working more. They regret not spending more time with family. You know what you need to do. Change your situation. Its not healthy for you or your kids. It soun...

    The Dark Side of Working Nights

    $5 night shift weekend. $4 night shift during week. But that is really high and unusual.

    State Boards

    It is not 100%. You can get false negative but not a false positive. Pay $7.95 for the quick results to know for sure. Good luck.

    From my previous career, most memorable unique name was Shady Basta. Still find it hysterical.

    Help! What should I do?

    It may be time for a pros and cons list to really visualize the decision. Better schedule, less hours, more money - but a lot more kids, new stressors, and unlicensed staff providing care. How important is the better schedule? Will you be leaving y...
