Hello, so I’m wondering what are some good low stress units within the hospital. I am starting school in the fall (getting into public health non-nursing related) so I would like something that would not make me feel emotionally and physically drained 24/7 (if that’s a thing in nursing LOL). Currently work on a medsurg/tele unit that is often used as a step down from ICU. Very busy and 6 patient to 1 nurse ratio.

$27/hr base pay after 6 months. After orientation is $25/hr base pay.

Hi, I am considering going back to school for NP. I have only been an RN for a year on a medsurg unit. Interested in PMHNP. My question is, do y’all think it is a bad idea to go back to school too soon? What are my chances of even getting accepted? Thanks.

If you don’t mind sharing, what do you do in the hospital? I am interested in doing epidemiology. And are you making much more money than bedside nursing?

I have currently worked as a nurse on a medsurg unit for 8 months. I have been on nights and am depressed, exhausted, and feel like I don’t have any type of life outside of work. Going to days on my unit isn’t really an option. Today, I had an interview for the inpatient rehab unit within the hospital. I feel like I pretty much have the job. I do want to start going back to school for my MSN soon. My question is, do you think taking the rehab job will impact my resume negatively? For school and future jobs alike. I know it is less intensive skills wise, most patients are very stable, etc. I don’t know if I should take the job, or stay with medsurg.
