The PRN was at the job I was leaving. I did not really plan to stay PRN and really did not think about wages when I told them I would pick up some hours when I could. My old boss had always seemed...

I recently landed my "dream job" at a local hospital. I stayed on PRN at my old job more as a favor to them then for any financial need on my part. They were giving me first choice of available hours...

Unless I am off the next night and have something to do after work in the morning, I stop the caffeinated beverages around 3AM. Also, I wear sunglasses for my drive home unless it is winter and still...

It sounds like you are having a rough time. It does take time, maybe about a year, before you really start to feel somewhat confident in what you do. Also, night shift is very hard on a lot of...

Is anyone out there a nurse surveyor? I have an interview set up for this position at the end of the week. I applied so long ago that I forgot all about it until the woman called me yesterday to see...

I would absolutely apply at a hospital closer to my new home. With that as your reason for changing jobs after six months, I don't think that would be held against you. Fifty miles is quite a long...

And who are we helping by continuing to give narcotics and benzos to people who are not following up on whatever it is that brings them to the emergency room? Prescription drug abuse is a real...

I currently work nights so another position on nights would not be an issue for me. The openings occurred because of a couple of nurses who are leaving. One of the nurses I shadowed will be leaving...

I recently interviewed for a position I applied for so long ago I forgot I had applied for it. Seriously, I applied to this hospital eight months ago and didn't hear back until a few days ago. I...

Where I work we seem to have a high turnover. A lot of nurses decide it just isn't their cup of tea. It does wear you down when you are constantly dealing with people who are confrontational with...

I used to work for a hospital which was bought out by a Catholic hospital. While I am Catholic, it was not a requirement to work there. Most of my co-workers were not Catholic and even the chaplain...

I would imagine they use the plastic applicator type of tampon and pour the alcohol inside the applicator.

I am currently employed. While my current work situation isn't ideal, I don't want to make a hasty decision and find myself in a worse situation.

I was just wondering if anyone here works or has worked on a medical observation unit. There is an opening at one of the local hospitals and before I applied I was wondering what working on such a...

I work in corrections so yes my work self is different from my home self. Although sometimes my college age child would beg to differ, especially when I let her and her friends know they are being a...

I am looking for a little advice here. I had an interview recently and later this week I will have the opportunity to shadow on the unit for a few hours so I can get an idea of what the job entails....

I got report one night on a postpartum mom who was on methadone. The off going nurse had given her nubain for some reason early in the day. I understand it was not pleasant.

"throw yourself on the alter of the Goddess of Float" Love that!!! My opinion is that you do what you feel is best for you.

Why not call the old manager and explain the altered form was not acceptable and ask if he would please call and talk to them. If he was willing to go to all of the trouble of printing the form and...

In addition to the intensive care these babies require, don't forget about their families. This is an especially difficult, confusing and scary time for the new parents. They are not going to have...

I don't live in California so I don't know about the medicinal marijuana or how thorough of a background check they do. I did want to say that if you are interested in a prison job then go ahead...

Any float pool position, nursing or pct, is harder to catch on to because you are new to the job and, as you have learned, different units do things differently. Do you think these same techs who...

The problem is with the other nurse and not you. It seems pretty childish that she would cop an attitude with you because she didn't get her preferred shift. If she did not know they were hiring for...

It would be interesting to see what this guy thinks of his brilliant plan six months from now. Especially if the prison doctor doesn't think he needs surgery...or that whatever surgery he needs is...

I work in corrections nursing. Pros: Usually low acuity. No Press Ganey. No visitors. You are actually allowed to tell your patients to sit down and be quiet when necessary and do not have to...
