5. Losing my way....how did you find your Niche?

   amazingme replied to amazingme's topic in Career Support

   I don't know how to tag you all. When I started nursing 8.5 yrs ago I thought I knew at the time what I wanted to pursue, but some specialties of course are difficult to get into. Even now at my current job my employer offers new grads a chance to ...

   With only X amount of days coming up to renew my RN License some days I feel as if I don't want to. Don't know what I would wake up and do the next morning either. I've worked on a busy, understaffed med-surg floor for many years before going to am...

10. How long is your commute?

    amazingme replied to the nurse who lived's topic in General Nursing

    My commute is about 20-30 minutes away. Not bad. It's a luxury. I'm looking to leave very soon and am hoping that I don't end up an hour away, winter is coming and I'm not a fan of driving hours in the snow.

11. Quitting without a notice

    amazingme replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Professionalism

    Give the two weeks notice. Never say never. In my state most of the larger hospitals have merged in the last few years and at my workplace there are so many people who worked with each other and for different managers at other facilities.

    I often hear conversations with nurses old and new discussing whether or not they would choose nursing as a career again if they had the opportunity. Some even have children in college now whom they haven't quite steered away from nursing, but stro...

    amazingme replied to Cola89's topic in Med-Surg

    I haven't worked in med-surg in a few years, but that definitely sounds right. I hated that phone at times. It made it easier for me when I had a page out for an MD, but not so great in an isolation room knee deep in C-diff poop. Who would answer in...

    I am planning to take the ANCC Medical-Surgical Certification exam in the next few months. I am wondering which books you have used. I thought about Lippincott's Medical-surgical review book; it's like the springhouse 4th edition med-surg cert review...
