  1. I completely agree with you. I'm only roughly 5 yrs in which is sad. I loved school, love making a difference and making pts happy. It's the best feeling when they say thank you or gave me a hug even just for the littlest things, it filled my heart....
  2. CT tech accessing ports

    I fully think they are competent, my point was that in my experience I have NEVER seen or heard of them accessing ports. Its the legal aspect of it that I am worried about, especially when they want me to write up the policy and procedure for their c...
  3. Stuck between two job offers

    100% agree. Any place that offers sign up agreements like that, stay FAR away from. They have those agreements for a reason, and its not usually a good one.
  4. New RN ready to give up

    I too started my career on an ortho m/s unit. I hated every minute of it. Not one day did I walk in feeling good. I did that for about 2.5 years b/c you hear the same bs "give it a year". Well I did and then some, and my anxiety got out of control th...
  5. CT tech accessing ports

    I'm in Arizona. I don't know their exact credentials which I should figure that out. I completely agree with you about it not just being about sticking someone with a needle. It'd be like me (rn) trying to scan their patients, that's not in my scope ...
  6. "Be a nurse! It will be fun!", they said

    I hated it!!! until I left the hospital, now I love it :). I'm kinda bored now but I'll take bored over being overstressed and overworked with little pay! I did not like what I was seeing in the hospital, and the situations upper management puts you ...
  7. CT tech accessing ports

    So does anyone know of or heard of ct,mri, or nm techs accessing ports?? I've never seen this in my experience but at an imaging center I work at they are discussing training a few of their techs to access ports. I know they can use them once accesse...
  8. I Am Struggling to Find My Purpose in Nursing

    yep, I should have took it as a sign when I dreaded clinical's during nursing school!! But same here, I didn't want to quit and always was told "It'll get better", NO! it doesn't, it never gets better! LOL. I love the field of medicine but I like the...
  9. I Am Struggling to Find My Purpose in Nursing

    I'm feeling the same way as you and still do after 3 years! Med-surg is awful but there are few who love it and God bless them for it! I'm trying to get out into clinic type jobs, insurance, or outpatient surgical centers. I don't mind patient intera...
  10. Chronic Extreme Emergency Department Shortstaffing

    IMO, this seems to be an issue everywhere and getting worse. Patients are sicker while staff is being spread more thin. It's scary and dangerous for both patient and nurse! I left floor nursing thinking that ED would not necessarily be easier but tha...

    So I currently have a few years of med/surg experience and am very interested in nicu but I also have an interested in er. So long story short I know have interviews for both floors at the same time! So I know neither floor can choose me but I'm curi...
  14. I know how you feel about being miserable and taking your frustrations home with you. I've been on med/surg for 2.5 years now and I still hate it, just not for me. I rarely have good days. And it is not that I don't like being busy because I do, but ...
