    Thanks
  2. Year of Experience

    Hi Allnurses, I am curious as to how you count the magical year (or other specified unit of time) of experience. Do you count it to the day i.e. January 25, 2019 to January 25, 2020; or is January...
  3. Leaving first nursing job after 5 months?

    Get out of there STAT. Sounds like you’d be safer working as a unicycle performer on a freeway during the middle of a rush hour lightning storm. Any future employer who would view you negatively for...
  4. Outdoor (at times) Nursing Jobs?

    Hospice can be such a special job if it ends up being the right fit for you. Any kind of nursing that involves home visits like working for the state/county in public health, case management through...

  10. Does size matter (Gloves nurses, gloves!)

    Food service gloves?! Jeez, that facility gives a new meaning to cheap. Those clear gloves NEVER fully keep out liquids, I’ve tried many brands for food service. Hard to say how you could attempt to...

    Thank you for the great tips, everyone. Really needed this today
  12. What's your favorite nursing task?

    Starting IVs for sure. I’m one of those people who drools over nice looking veins. I love how diverse the responses are. Reminds me of my old floor where we all had our own strengths and loved...
  13. Should I divorce my husband

    I’m kind of torn on this. Decks of cards between nurses/nurse allies is hilarious. Your hospital could have been trying to be “down with tha kidz, yo” like they totally get the nurse struggle,...
  14. I keep hearing informatics is the next big thing but not yet in my area, sadly. I think population health, “care coordination”, and other forms of case management are
  15. New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

    Dialysis will sometimes hire newer grads, family practice clinics/urgent care, home health. Keep networking while you build your skills in the hospital. Find the job that panics you the least at the...
