   Transferring to ICU

   Seaofclouds replied to RN0233's topic in General Nursing

   It can't hurt to ask. We are technically contracted for rotating shifts. We have several that want straight nights, so they get to stay on straight nights and the rest of us (that would prefer...

   Pay Differential

   Seaofclouds replied to gravy94's topic in General Nursing

   You should ask again for the information. It varies from place to place. I've worked some places that shift differential is for 7p-7a and others that have a 3-11p differential and then a different...

   help me prioritize please

   Seaofclouds replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

   What are the responsibilities of the PCAs on that floor? Do they obtain the BS's before meals? Sounds like some of the tasks could have been delegated to your PCA and that may be something you need to...

   If you are referring to Case #14C-4972 (4.5 million), it wasn't Vande. Here's the settlement information from that case:

   Is Accepting A Counter-Offer Really the Career 'Kiss of Death'?

   Seaofclouds replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

   I took a counter offer once. I wasn't really looking for change, just decided to put my resume out to a few places to see what came up. I got offered a job with a raise and when I discussed it with my...

   Frustrated and Ready to Call it

   Seaofclouds replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in First Year After Licensure

   @Idiosyncratic Have you tried room darkening curtains, eye masks, white noise, etc to help you sleep during the day during your stretch of nights? Have you tried talking to the director to see if day...

   Advice would be appreciated :)

   Seaofclouds replied to AL3Xxs's topic in General Students

   Working with healthy children is very different from working with sick children and their worried parents. I'm not saying you can't do it, but if you lost your motivation for nursing before and are...

   Something new...

   Seaofclouds replied to Joe V's topic in Nurse Diary's Entries

   @kbrn2002 That sounds like an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to speak with someone a while ago that use to write questions for the NCLEX and the little bit she was able to share about the...

   Something new...

   Seaofclouds replied to Joe V's topic in Nurse Diary's Entries

   Not much to share for me either. I use to have big ideas of where I would go with my nursing career, but after trying some of those things, I quickly learned those aren't the areas for me. I will most...

    Frustrated and Ready to Call it

    Seaofclouds replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What did your doctor say/recommend? What is your current schedule? Are your nights clumped together or spread apart? Have you tried switching things up with your schedule a bit to see if anything...

    New grad at 44. I'm overwhelmed and ready to quit.

    Seaofclouds replied to MOmama's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The one year in med-surg is a great way to develop and master your nursing skills. Does everyone do their one year before doing something else? No, they don't. Some get other positions right away. The...

    Which position would you choose: RN supervisor or utilization management?

    Seaofclouds replied to designer-mommy's topic in General Nursing

    You sound must more enthusiastic about the UM position. I personally have never done that, so I can't really say much there. I have been a Nurse Manager before and it was not for me. I was on call...

    Have you reached out to anyone at your state BON to discuss this situation with them? I have heard of similar happening to others and some have had positive outcomes by getting the BON

    Decisions, decisions

    Seaofclouds replied to ngiam12's topic in General Nursing

    You are the only one that can really decide which one is going to be best for your situation. I would look at pay, benefits, staffing ratios, scheduling, weather issues (such as having to drive that...

    The End of An Era

    Seaofclouds replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I'm kind of jealous too. I still have a long ways to go, but my husband is already retired (military), so we talk a lot about my retirement already. I can understand the bittersweet side of things. I...
