  1. Regretting swatching department

    EDNURSE20 replied to Pmp606's topic in General Nursing

    It’s your second week! Give it a chance. Once you are more experienced it won’t seem as overwhelming. I changed from float pool, but considered myself a med/surg nurse, to the ER early April, and...

  3. Piloting a new unit as a new grad?

    EDNURSE20 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

  4. First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.

    EDNURSE20 replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

  6. Potential new employer trying to rush me into accepting job offer.

    EDNURSE20 replied to sjukskoterska2020's topic in General Nursing

    A quick offer is not a bad sign. the fact that they are pressuring you into accepting is the red flag though. As a new grad I knew I had the job when I left the interview. I accepted the job the next...

  7. Switching units

    EDNURSE20 replied to Sweetheart2005's topic in General Nursing

    EDNURSE20 replied to natifante's topic in General Nursing

  15. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    EDNURSE20 replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t know what your rant about old school nurses and gloves has to do with me. The world is short of medical supplies and PPE, which is far more important than an extra dollar or two. we are in...

  16. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    EDNURSE20 replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation
