  1. Retired Nurses

    Peachpit replied to Stareyes4's topic in General Nursing

    Most travel agencies require recent (with in a year) experience. If you are wanting to travel I would suggest applying for PRN jobs close to you. That would satisfy the travel requirement and also get...

  2. Undecided and out of time

    Peachpit replied to mooshgigila's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would focus on school and kids and only school and kids if I were in your place. You are thinking WAY too far ahead and creating anxiety that doesn't need to be. You have several more years to go...

  4. Assessments

    Peachpit replied to Cricket183's topic in General Nursing

    If they are documenting assessments done and haven't actually done the assessment then its not a trend, it's fraud and that needs to be addressed with the nursing leadership at the

  5. Should I talk to my manager?

    Peachpit replied to Sweetpea04's topic in General Nursing

    There is no harm is talking to your manager about going back. At least you would know, definitely, if going back to Onc would be an option. The manager may say no then you can decide how to move on...

  7. Weekend hospice call offer

    Peachpit replied to Rollerrn2011's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I know this post is old but I will throw my 2 cents in..I accepted an on call weekend position a few months ago. 5pm Fri to 8 am Monday, census averages 20 patients. There is an answering...

  8. Leaving Home Health. Abandonment?

    Peachpit replied to Jessie1213's topic in Home Health

    No, not abandonment. What your supervisor is doing is trying to cover as much of the schedule as she can and using "soft guilt" (repeatedly asking you to do PRN) to string out your time because its...

  9. Care Manager vs Inpatient Hospice

    Peachpit replied to principessaGG's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I know this thread is old but I am wondering what the OP decided to do? I moved into a weekend on call position a few months ago instead of moving back into the hospital setting. And I regret it....

  10. Admissions vs CM? New job considerations

    Peachpit replied to nasr69's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Most hospices, at least in the area I work, either don't have Admission Nurses per se or the Admission Nurses have worked in hospice for several years. Whatever hospice you apply to ask if they...

  11. Ghosted post offer

    Peachpit replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    You are not alone, have had this happen to me as have many others on this site. Move on and count your blessings you don't work for a company that plays these types of games. Interviewing for jobs...

  12. How long to stick out a new job?

    Peachpit replied to Sweetpea04's topic in General Nursing

    First, do not let one nasty person color your whole view of yourself - especially a virtually stranger that at the end of your life you won't remember their name (I know, easier said than done)....

  13. Going Back To Bedside

    Peachpit replied to tobetheone's topic in General Nursing

    I've done both and I have a BSN and an MS in healthcare tho' not nursing per se. I never felt downgraded moving from leadership roles to non leadership roles. Sometime I made more in leadership...

  14. Twelve Hour Nights or M-F

    Peachpit replied to Lynn1230's topic in General Nursing

    Go for it! The biggest change for you would be working 5 days/week plus drive time vs. the 3 12's and working day time hours vs nights. You will most likely be around management a lot more too working...

  15. New Grad - Pregnant New Job

    Peachpit replied to NurseDD27's topic in General Nursing

    The best option is to contact the hiring manager & have an open & honest conversation about the situation. I would NOT tell him/her you knew at the interview you were pregnant, I would simply...

  16. Advice please on how to not burn out working five 8s/week

    Peachpit replied to superindebt's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work in the OR but I was, until this past week, working a M-F position that I knew fairly early on was not a good fit for a variety of reasons. I felt a guilty leaving so soon after starting...

    Peachpit replied to mharzi's topic in General Nursing

  19. Grady Or Piedmont

    Peachpit replied to Mike Lawry's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My clinicals were at Grady, I've worked for Piedmont. Hands down I would go for Grady for what you are hoping to obtain. If I lived within a reasonable driving distance I would 100% work there now. It...

  20. Any insight about hire after termination

    Peachpit replied to Kaeayo's topic in General Nursing

    Being out of nursing completely for 4 yrs I doubt you could be hired right back into ICU but being terminated and not having references won't stop you from getting a job. Some of the large hospital...

    Peachpit replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

  25. Need Advice - I would like to become a CRNA

    Peachpit replied to ptreebranch's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Maybe consider a travel position to one (or both) of the places you are interested in living. That would give you a better idea of the areas and healthcare salaries etc. It would be beneficial, I...
