EDNURSE20 BSN

I started in March, just as COVID hit. I didn’t like the job, but thought I would give it a chance. 6 months on, COVID is not an issue where I am and things are back to normal. But I hate the job more than ever!! Everyone has such a big ego, eve...

On a another note, I worked a shift with a nurse who had to do a manual evacuation of a old man rectum that day. The story alone ?

So something strange has happened. I’m happy! I’ve been working in ED for almost two years. I had instant regret when I changed jobs, never particularly liked it. Around august I decided it was finally time to leave. I hated my job, I dreaded go...

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...

The health care system is a joke. Unfortunately pt receive poor care frequently and things are missed or dismissed by health care workers all the time, for a number of reasons. there’s only so much you can do. But I give my pt the best care I ca...

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 ...

Wait?! You guys actually know people who don’t work in health care?? Other than my family, everyone I know is in healthcare!

So long story short I’ve been working in the ER for almost a year and half, and I hate it. I’m finally ready to move on. when looking for jobs I am interested in PACU, ob/gyn, and public health. today I saw a job for post natal floor, that I’m ...

I am 100% being bullied by management at my job. I have had enough of the BS, and I’m looking to get out. My job makes me feel so uncomfortable. My manager is nit-picking everything I do along with making things up trying to get rid of me. I wor...

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 been deciding what my next step is, and I’m leaning towards public health. I have study health science at Uni before nursing, I did a lot of papers on health promotion, public policy ect that I really enjoyed, which makes me think I would enjo...

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.

We all have are rituals. For me there are 3 main things. 1. I give my hands a good wash before I leave the hospital. 2. I take my shoes off immediately, I more concerned about what’s on my shoes than my scrubs. They sit by my door. 3. ...

I have no idea why I wanted to be a nurse. I remember saying it as a kid. I said it all through high school. I never had an aha moment! Still to this day, I don’t know what attracted me to the job, just that I wanted to be a nurse. when I was te...

Normally I’m the first one to say give notice, leave on good terms. But in this case, if the hospital policy states you don’t need to give notice while on probation, and have another job lined up, then quit. Do it nicely though, talk your manger, and...

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!

Show me a nurse who actually like there job? I don’t think there’s any left. if you’ve decided to leave, good for you. You young enough that you can do this. Don’t stick around hoping to find your niche!!

I’m currently job hunting too. I had the same though as you, calling interviews off for whatever reason. But actually going to the interview and finding out more about the job has been super helpful. If I have the interview and decide I don’t want th...

Personally I don’t see what the big deal is. Especially if she has sold her art like this before. Sound like a normal business deal to me. But maybe wait till she’s discharged. if you are concerned, check with your manager.

I’ve been a nurse for almost 4 years now. 2.4 year float pool at a community hospital. And 1.5 in ED in a large city hospital. last month I decided it was time to find a new job, I had a interview for a PACU job where they offered me the job. Th...

Both options don’t sound good. Nights and a 40 min commute, or a terrible work environment where you are short staff and have rude drs Personally I would keep looking. If your biggest problem is being bored at your current job, I’m sure you ca...

I’m currently in NZ but looking at maybe doing some contract work next year in Australia. (Depending if covid is more under controlled) the work interest me, as long term I want to specialise in rural healthcare. Plus I’m dying to travel again. ...

I had an interview today that went amazingly. They stated they will check my references and if they are OK he will be offering me the job. I get a call from HR shortly after asking for my references, but state I must use my manager! Here’...
