I have accepted a job in general surgery, as the CVOR was not my place. I am wondering, for the future, how does one become a OR Trauma Nurse at a Level 1 Trauma Center?

I'm trying to get a position for the CVOR. I have an interview for the CVOR position in a few days. I have no experience in the OR. Any ideas that will help me obtain this position, or things to say to impress the leaders? Thanks!

I am leaving my job due to relocation, and I don't know how to tell my friends at work that I am leaving. Advice please!!

Would you prefer shift 11am-11pm or 6pm-6am, and why?

Is having 4 different jobs in one year too many? I suffer from depression, and if a job gets too overwhelming, I shut down and become depressed and need to quit. It's happening again, and I'm qondering if leaving my 4th job in just over 1 year is too...

What is the real difference between a CRNA and an Anesthesiologist Assistant? Do hospitals prefer to hire one over the other? Which training is more rigorous? Any information on the difference between these two would be greatly appreciated!

I currently work/am training at a Level 1 Trauma Center in the ER, and I absolutely hate my preceptor. The staff are also very judgmental, and my preceptor is very condescending. I just dread going into work due to the environment overall. I just rec...

I have been offered a position at a level 3 trauma center 30 minutes away. I've also been offered a position at a level 1 Trauma Center 1 hour away, which is a weekend shift. Which would you choose? If the level 1 Trauma center 1 hour away every week...

Yes, there is snow, but it's a main highway that gets cleaned off right away. It is a nightshift, so that is why I was thinking a hotel.

I'm just starting out on a medical floor at an academic hospital, and have just been diagnosed with seizures. I have not been prescribed any medication to manage them, and have to wait a few months to see a seizure specialist because my Neurologist w...

I was offered an RN job at an academic hospital on a medical floor. Commute is 1 hour away, with 3 12-hr night shifts per week. I was also offered an OR job at a local hospital 3 minutes away. It will be 4 day shifts per week. My dream was ...

I will be starting at an academic hospital in January, and will be working 3 12 hr Noc shifts in a row each week. I am wondering what tips you have to stay awake (not a coffee drinker), and how you made this work with your significant other, especial...

It is the same job. Just to make it simple, I said job offer.

I have not had luck finding an RN position around my area in a hospital, as I started in clinic. I finally accepted a job in an academic hospital 1 hour away. Is this too long of a commute? It is 3 12 hr Nov shifts. Opinions please!

I recently accepted an RN position at my dream hospital (located 1 hour away via commute). I would be working 3 12hr noc shifts. However, I have been feeling really guilty about having to put my notice in, so I have been holding off on doing this (I ...

Without going into too much boring detail, my job (a clinic where we are treated worse than garbage) is the cause for my worsening mental state. I was diagnosed with depression years ago, and have been managing it so well. Recently, it has gotten to ...

I am wondering what you like best about working in a jail? How does it compare to working in a hospital? Any pros and cons are welcome!

I have heard that Nurse Practitioner school is not as rigorous as other grad schools (such as CRNA school). I would like to become either a ACNP or a CRNA in the future. I am very interested in science-based learning, and am wondering which option wo...

I'm leaving my current job after 8 months of being there. It's my first RN job, and it's in a clinic. I already have another job lined up. My concern is how to break the news to the doctor and nurses I work with. I live about an hour away from my cur...

Stop. This is harassment now. I apologized, and you keep on bringing up the subject. It's not my fault if you have a problem accepting apologies. That's not on me, that's on you. The subject of this post is unrelated to what you repeatedly keep sayin...

I have already apologized for that statement multiple times in this thread. I never once said my opinion was 'obviously the truth', as you put it. This needs to stop. I can't undo what I said. I apologized, time to move on.

I'm sorry, I should not have worded it that way. The older nurses at my job have actually made judgemental comments about younger nurses not staying at jobs long in "this generation". My apologies for the wording.
