YaY NursesTakeFlorida.com !! They are taking the message to the public and going to community activities such as county fairs, etc. I feel that canvassing neighborhoods and setting up petition sites at community gatherings, colleges, libraries, tag/l...

Agreed. As far as waiting until you get another job: It depends where you live and what's available. That might take more than the time for orientation.

How do you handle this on your resume and job application though? I had this scenario twice in the last 3 yrs while getting through BSN. Once 3 yrs ago and once recently. I gave notice within a month during orientation. The positions were a bad fit p...

How do you place this scenario on your resume and application?

Let's agree to disagree.....

Hopefully, this will help some nurses going through interviews. I found this on the Monster.com site: Legal and Illegal Inquiries Following are some of the key areas that are covered by fair hiring laws. You will see a trend in what is legal and wha...

I went through orientation and I did not see anything about giving serious thought to the current nursing environment (which is only getting worse) or issues involving a student's diagnosis of anxiety or depression (or any behavioral problem) and how...

Again, these role expectations need to be defined thoroughly before taking students' money for tuition to become a nurse - during the approval process.

It's tragic and unjust because the environment of nursing today actually creates these problems for all healthcare workers. I don't think a person should have to have the physicality and mentality of a Navy SEAL or IronPerson to be a nurse. With the ...

I think all nurses/everyone needs to buy a legal plan through Legal Zoom or other sources for these kinds of questions. Know your rights and make decisions based on sound legal advice. There seems to be a lot of legal questions on this site and it's ...

How do you feel on your day off after working a shift? Today is my day off after working yesterday. Throughout my career the next day off is brutal. My muscles ache and I have such fatigue. I heard of this "nursing hangover". I can work consecutive d...

Exactly, Horseshoe. I start feeling the body pain and fatigue 30 mins after work or when I get home. It's like my body knows it's safe to relax. Unfortunately, I can hardly function the next 24 hrs. I try to do 2 days in a row too to cut down on the ...

Yes all above, I'm thinking that exercise and hydration helps remove the cortisol and increases serotonin. Orion, I feel this way now. Pixie and K+, great advice. I'm going to research this further. This is important.

Some of the sitters on care.com or sittercity.com also offer before school care. I'd just make sure you feel safe for your child, are happy with them, and that they are flexible for your schedule. Maybe a 6-8 AM sitter to make sure your child gets up...

I totally sympathize. You may find someone on a service like care.com. When you get a chance, I'd switch to days and/or look for homehealth or 8-5 clinic job. Homehealth charting takes away free time though. Check your hospital about when you can tra...

Nursing has a lot to offer a young person with no children or dependents. They can travel and get paid more after a year in the hospital. The M-F cushier jobs are rare and rely on networking/politics. Otherwise.....Realize if you are sick or there is...

I vote no, especially if you do not have childcare support. Nursing school is tough enough but nursing right now is too tough and frustrating. Im a single parent with little support and the energy it takes for 12 hr shifts to be paid the same pay wil...

There needs to be more public awareness not just rallying nurses. There needs to be billboards in high traffic areas and online banner ads and campaigns educating the public on the problem, what to do and how to vote to improve this.
