2. Interview Reasons for Switching to Clinic Nursing

   PedsRNBSN replied to pnurseuwm's topic in Ambulatory

   It is not a bad thing to mention that you like the schedule either. Remember their are also plenty of nurses that DO NOT want five day a week jobs. Also, if you are like me, I felt that I did not have time to effectively manage care for a patient i...

4. Any day surgery RNs/RNs to be?

   PedsRNBSN replied to MellyFryRN's topic in Georgia

   Well, in my area I found it to be higher than hospitals and dr. offices. Most nurses get very generous pay, and you DEFINITELY have time to sit down, eat lunch, and use the bathroom. Plus, getting holidays and weekends off is HUGE! I know some plac...

5. Need Some Job Search Advice

   PedsRNBSN replied to brown eyed girl's topic in Georgia

   Sorry I can't help you . I know lots of places looking for RNs (even newly licensed) but not that many for LPNs. Have you tried recruiters and not agencies. Have you tried websites like metroatlantajobs.com or ajcjobs.com ? Also, try applying di...

6. Young Nurse Looking Toward Management

   PedsRNBSN replied to luvbug9956's topic in Management

   I also think you should go for it. As a young nurse (your same age) who IS in management, I will say that there will be challenges. I worked for three years in an ASC during, and shortly after getting my degree. I too have started classes for my M...

7. So I've decided...

   PedsRNBSN replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

   Seriously consider something outside of the hospital. I currently work in an ambulatory surgery center and LOVE it. I like the fact that I see a patient through from beginning to end-and when they walk out they are happy and healthy. Also, if you...

   it was like this at the first hospital i worked in. new grad pay increased more each year to stay competitive with the other local hospitals and cost of living increases. however, each nurse (with experience there) usually got about a 3% raise each...

   PedsRNBSN replied to smileysenior's topic in New Nurse

   Find an area that you love...I did the hospital thing for six months(and it was not that bad)...then found day surgery to be where I need to stay. The hours are great, (four days 9s-10s) off every weekend for three days, no holidays, or nights, chall...

    PedsRNBSN posted a topic in Educators

    I am the charge nurse in an ambulatory surgery center, and we just hired a nurse for the pre-op area (she is NOT a new grad). She came from ER and ICU and I thought she would be fabulous. Her skills are okay, but she REALLY lacks confidence. She is t...
