committment vs. growth?

Hey everybody,

I'm sure most of us know that OR nurses are pretty

committed to a particular operating room and a lot of nurses

spend entire career in the same OR? But I'm wondering

how do you balance commitment and career growth?

We are stuck on a management rollercoaster - 5th manager

in 3 years and nobody quite appreciates the staff here. I feel

like all they care about is surviving today without thinking

at least 2 weeks ahead.

I love people who I work with and I enjoy what I do. I was always making

fun of nurses who leave and come back' in 5-6 months cause

apparently grass is only seems greener on the other side. I thought

this is me being committed but after a while of doing someone else's job I'm starting

to look around and there are opportunities are lots of them.

Now the question is should you stay focused and wait for things to ease

or pursuit your career growth call????

Kinda peculiar but I hope you understand where i'm coming from.....

    We had the same problem at my place. I have been there 10 years, 3 as an RN. We went through TONS of staff, managers and vps. Over the first 7 years like 400 people. I was sick of the way things were so I over ran the "authority " that was there when I graduated and was in charge 3 months later. We have had the same staff for 2.5 years now and everyone loves it. Pick someone that is a core person andget them to the manager job or do it yourself. There are temptations out there but why not male your place liveable?
