FurBabyMom, I am waiting patiently. Thanks for your input.

That GUY, Awe, man. I hope they don't do that to me. I'd be heartbroken.

Green Tea, I guess that's how it works. Did you made the transfer yet?

Omg! Six months is a long time. I'll take my six weeks and run. I'm sorry that happened and am glad you were able to move eventually.

Rnperdiem, It is. I didn't think about that. I was just really happy and had my mind set on the official date. Anyways, hearing from you all shine some light in the situation and I'm going to stop bickering about it. Thanks!

Wow! I didn't know all of that. I will just wait patiently then and be grateful that I'm even given the opportunity to transfer. Guessed I got overly excited and was ready to run. Lol! Thank you all for your response.

Thanks for your input.

-You're right. Thank you for your response. I'm a professional, I will not upset. That's why I come here to vent.������

Hi all, So I was supposed to transfer to another unit in 4 weeks and recently discovered that it will be 6 weeks before I can actually transfer. The hospital policy states that I'm only obligate to 4 weeks notice, but my manager said it's up to them to decide on when to let me go. Is that right? To make matters worse, no one discuss with me. I was excited to exit soon and now I have to wait longer. I guess it's not really that big of a deal waiting two more weeks, but I am very upset that no one said anything to me about the change until now. Anyways, just venting as usual. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Thanks! I'm looking into it.

That sounds good. Thank you.

Hi, English is also my second language. I had the very same fear as you when I was in nursing school. I utilized the writing center at my school a lot for all my research papers. When classes get harder, study harder. It's not going to be easy. You have GOT this. Good luck to you.

Agatha12, I've applied for PACU, but they are telling me that I need OR experience and OR is telling I need experience too. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hello everyone. So, I have been in the medical field since after high school, but only been an RN for 4 years now. My first hospital job was in the Ortho floor which lasted about a year and I switch to psych nursing. It has been two years and I am ready to run again. I've worked as a medical assistant for a family practice, LPN during home health, hospice and nursing home. I even worked for a podiatrist and a walk-in clinic. I don't feel like I'm learning and growing as a psych nurse. I am afraid that I will lose my clinical skills. Floor nursing is king of scary and it is too overwhelming for me. I want to work in a environment where I can focused on pt care without all the politics and chaos. I did have an interest in OR or ED. The ED is probably out of question because I'm too scared. I can't read a EKG strip to save my life. It's funny because I can pass basic rhythm test with flying colors. I am also ACLS certified. I just don't know what do to. Sorry for rambing on and on... Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.
