I quit my hospital job of 9 years!

if one is this excited for quitting a job, and a hospital job at that, it's probably something I should be congratulating since the work condition was, highly likely, unfortunate at best.... congratulations. what is your next venue? 9 years, I am sure you can land a job somewhere

Yes I have a job lol I am working in telehealth. No more running around the hospitals hallways.

Plus i am almost done with my MSN-ed.

i wanted advice from telecommute nurses who work from home. But didn't get any lol. But I realized that everyone has their own story so I just gave it a chance. I am a creature of habit, so that's why this is exciting for me.

What exactly are you doing (in a generalized way of course :)) and is it close to meeting your financial needs?

Congrats on your almost done degree!

Woo hoo!!! :)

Did the job really suck, or were you just burned out, or trying

something new... or all of the above?

Congratulations, I guess.

Thanks everyone! As a 9 year RN at the hospital working nights on weekends .... yes every single weekend. I missed my family. Plus night shift was killing my health... I was just getting fatter and fatter. I started in 2007 at 118 lbs after having a baby. Today I am sad to say that I am 180lbs.....

i know night shift is not an excuse, but I let myself go because... I worked so hard at the hospital I lied to myself and told myself I deserved fast food, or deserved overeating. I would sign up for the gym but on my nights off all I wanted to do was be in bed and be a lazy bum.

I needed an entire change... but I am a creature of habit and I usually don't like change. I have been with my hubby almost 20 years lol.

i already signed up for a 5k in feb and today I will sign up for a 1/2 marathon for the end of 2017 so I can have something to work towards to.

Financially I am ok with the new job, I am working days so I will miss my night pay.

I just started working from home and I love it so far. A bit challenging since my daughter is home from holiday vacation.

Thanks!!!'

I loved working at the hospital. But i needed to get healthy, be with my little girl, and I wanted to work in the day time and have a normal schedule!

I am so excited for 2017

i am gonna get healthy this year!!

[TravelRNdreaming]

If you're happy, I'm happy for you!

Thank you!! Finally I am using my RN license to do something else besides bedside nursing

[TravelRNdreaming]

That's exciting!!

Congratulations. Keep us posted on your progress.

thank you!

i just started so time will tell.

But i have 9 years under my belt, plus I am getting my MSN-ed to teach,

and hopefully this year I will have my first 1/3 marathon! LOL

now I see why dayshift nurses are the ones that do all the activities in the hospital such as committees and patcipate in events lol

all I wanted to do was sleep on my days off and never cared for any of that stuff.

in my research class I did a paper on night shift nurse parcipation in hospital activities and found is only 12% of nurses who work at night. I always wondered why there is no night activities for the night nurses.

1/2 marathon not 1/3 LOL. I am on my iPhone lol that's why there's that typo
