  1. If you accept a job, stay at least a year

    Just want to as my 2 cents also. I left a job after 3 months, still kept my other job during this time that I've been at over 3 years. I learned the grass is not always greener on the other side. I appreciate my job now after going to another ltc fac...
  2. Mourning

    Thank you for your replies and words of encouragement. I know I want to do nursing as a career. Just has it's bad days, also has some amazing moments where I think to myself, this is why I became a nurse . I need better stress outlets. Then my poor h...
  3. Mourning

    This is just me venting. I work 12 hour shifts in Ltc, a hospice pt passed away 30 min into my shift this morning, I can't help mourning over residents I take care of 40+ hours a week. I know it's part of the medical field, dealing with death but I c...
  4. Really enjoyed reading this, to add my 2 cents, that first year out of nursing school is just as tough as all the schooling, tears, hungry nights, and sleep deprivation I suffered through to take my nclex and get a license. Good job to everyone that...
  5. Social Media

    At my work, we not allowed to put we are employees by the facility on facebook, talk about employees, pt, if there is a pic posted and it's from the facility it's all automatic termination.
  6. Why we do this...

    The good days out number the bad for sure. At least for me. So glad and blessed I'm in this profession.
  7. Not Happy in the Acute Care Setting

    I think a pay cut is always worth it of you'll be happier at the other job. It's horrible to go to a job you despise. Good luck.
  8. What is your current ratio and what is the facility you would take the pay cut? I probably would :) good luck
  9. Charge nurse

    Nurse84 I appreciate all feed back that you have given. I am curious as to what your conversation would have been like with the cna who was assigned to this said resident? I do walking rounds at the beginning and end of my shift. 7p to 7a. The wrest ...
  10. Charge nurses

    Thank you for your reply. I'm new to the facility, I've been there a little over a month, so I'm still learning the employees and residents. I'm also the youngest employee on noc shift. I help out answering call lights and with care when I can, I jus...
  11. Charge nurse

    Thank you everyone for your feedback. I don't feel like school taught me how to be a charge nurse And I'm still struggling with it, but I care about my pt. tremendously and I know if they could take care of themselves they wouldn't be in a ltc facili...
  12. Charge nurse

    A little background on my self. I graduated nursing school last July so I'm still a fairly new nurse. I struggle with being in the "charge" nurse position at times. I would like to know how you, as the charge nurse, would have handled this situation....

  15. Working two jobs

    Hellos nurses. This isn't so much a question as just wondering who all out there is working two jobs? How many hours a week do you work? How long have you or do you plan on working two? Do you have kids at home? What facilities are your jobs? I'm cur...
