2. Feeling Lost in Career - Mom / RN

   01.rn.10 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Has anyone here taken a step back from hospital nursing or even taken a break from nursing in general when becoming a new mom? I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. I left the hospital about 2 years ago because I couldn't do the rotating schedule, an...

   Thanks. I've been thinking of that. Just hesitating on switching jobs again already. I guess I need some reassurance that I'm not the only one who's tried 3 jobs in 4 years of being a nurse

   Thank you everyone!! The transfer I’m thinking of would be within the same hospital system. The sign on bonus agreement is to stay with the same system for two years (I can change jobs, hospitals, etc as long as it’s within XXX). That was explained ...

   Rotating as in 12+ hour shifts rotating between daylight and night shift. It evens out to be 40-50 hrs per week with 4 days off, but that’s not always how it feels. It’s very sporadic. In a few weeks I’m scheduled to do six 12+ hour night shifts in 8...

    Ahh thank you!! My other problem is that I have to stay with this hospital system for 2 years based on the sign-on bonus agreement I made when accepting their offer. I’m fine with staying within the same system. Just dying to feel normal again! The p...
