   I'm in the suburbs south of the twin cities and we are seeing very little as well.

2. Questioning my future as a nurse

   Tirednurseandmomma14 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been a nurse for roughly 10 years where I started out as an LPN for 2 years and went on to get my RN. I worked almost 5 years in Urgent Care but left because I wanted to continue to learn different specialties and I had two small children so w...

3. Another Quitter

   Very well said. Especially about them not caring about you or your family and that we are just a warm body. So very sadly true.

4. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

   Tirednurseandmomma14 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in COVID

   Very informative video from an ICU doctor at Cornell University who is working with Covid 19 patients. It is long but very much worth watching and informative. It did put my mind at ease some but I still agree that we need appropriate PPE to do our ...

5. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

   Tirednurseandmomma14 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in COVID

   I understand. You feel so much guilt leaving your co workers behind but really you need to make sure you are there to take care of your family. As nurses we are dispensable and if we leave someone else will easily take our place. Definitely not the c...

6. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

   Tirednurseandmomma14 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in COVID

   That is obsurd! How in the world would you know they are positive when many times they have no symptoms while contagious and when there are not enough tests being done?! Its craziness and not exactly what I signed up for. I'm sorry you have to even d...

7. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

   Tirednurseandmomma14 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in COVID

   I have two young kids that I worry about as well. Cases in my state have kids as young as 6 months with this virus. I would hate to unknowingly bring this home to my kids. At such a crossroad right now. Its horrible to even have to debate this. I l...

8. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

   Tirednurseandmomma14 posted a topic in COVID

   I am curious to find out if anyone has decided to leave their current job due to the risk of this virus? I work in the Emergency Department and we are now being asked to reuse PPE and to prepare for a surge of COVID 19 patients. This makes me sick to...

9. Abandoning Ship

   Tirednurseandmomma14 replied to cin808's topic in Career Support

   I can relate. I am really struggling at work and all I am exposed to in the ER. I have had many days where I cry on my way home and say I didn't know I was signing up for this. I am so fearful to get this virus and pass it on to my family. Take care ...

12. ED nurse to School Nurse

    Tirednurseandmomma14 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in School

    Can I ask what state you work in? That is awesome that you are basically making the same amount with no daycare cost. Yeah, I'm not sure my body can keep up with the ER pace for long. I'm wearing compression socks and have orthotics. All good infor...

    Tirednurseandmomma14 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in School

    I have no idea how to reply to people specifically as I just started using this forum. I really appreciate all the responses. It sounds like it would be very good for my family once the kids are all in school with no more daycare costs. It seems to j...

15. ED nurse to School Nurse

    Tirednurseandmomma14 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in School

    Thank you everyone for your insight-I really appreciate it. I think it might be a good idea to either shadow a school nurse or become a sub. I've noticed while looking at positions that the most I have seen for pay is $26/hour (I'm in Minnesota). I c...
