As a different perspective, I work in ED and this is what we do.
We do it on the computer and it’s saved on their file, so can’t be lost or hard to read. We still do a phone handover for ICU/HDU/Children though.
personally I think it works...

Changing jobs is hard. Going from being comfortable, to a new environment with new people with new way of doing things, Is really hard. I think everyone had that oh s*** feeling when start over, especially if it’s a new speciality. But I’m glad your ...
So the interview went well! They want me to come in and shadow for a couple of hours, if that goes well then reference checks and hopefully a new job.
im excited. But trying not to get my hopes up, just yet.
I have just been offered an interview for another job. Low stress, Monday to Friday, decent pay. I know it’s just a interview, and there’s no guarantees, but I’m so bloody excited.
Fingers crossed this is my ticket out of here.

I worked casual as a new grad, and I loved it! There was always enough hours, but choosing your schedule, being able to take leave whenever you wanted, not having to work public holidays, planning things in advance and not having to worry what your r...
I typically pick one shift a fortnight, normally a weekend because the money is worth it.
I get bombarded with texts daily stating they 3 short, begging us to come in. It’s been this bad for the last 10 months, causing lots of people to leave. ...

A few years ago I knew a nurse that quit to work at a garden store. Honestly sounds like bliss right now. Taking care of plants instead of people. Plus have you even seen a customer get mad at garden store? Always seems so calm and peaceful!
