Throwing my two cents into this conversation. Personally, I don't mind students and precepting. But I do have a problem with not being compensated for the extra time and effort I have to put forth to train and teach a new nurse. Some jobs I've ...

I work two jobs- one in acute care adult med surge. I hate it but im learning so much and getting great experience. The other I love in subacute pediatrics. I want to be an NP eventually but need the money, experience and skills. I suffer through my ...

It’s local and my work has a discount with their masters and NP programs. Also, my dad went there many years ago

I didn’t. I do intent to apply, but I had another baby so it’s been crazy with three under three

Remember back in nursing school when our pathophysiology teacher told us all: "At the end of this class, you will all have convinced yourself you have at least one of the diseases we have talked about." It felt like just yesterday that I was sitting ...

I have been a nurse for three years. I have worked a few different specialties. As a float nurse for a community hospital I did pediatric outpatient, urgent care, adult outpatient. I worked an adult subacute (left because it was unsafe) and have been...

Thanks for the insight. I do appreciate it. I have narrowed it down a little- at least to the point that I will not be staying at my current job. The pay cut (no differentials) is just too drastic ($9/hr) and while my boss promised me the day shift s...

I have been a nurse 3 years. I have known one nurse that lost her license for serious diversion. I know one nurse who would have lost her license for serious diversion had she not passed away from drug use (on the job... this was personally terrifyin...

I didn't end up applying. We ended up having another baby and it just wasnt in the cards at the moment.. It is still a dream of mine.

I have come to this forum a lot for advice, and I am very grateful for all of the advice and insight I have received over the years: from being a prenursing student, nursing student, new nurse, relatively new nurse till now. 3 years into my career I ...

Following. Am going to apply for next application cycle

I would do the tele job if your goal is to go back to school. That’s an incredible stepping stone. And one I do not see can be as easily accomplished by the other two options. I would do the pedi job if being there for every moment of your ...

I’ve been a nurse for 2 years. I generally think I’m a pretty decent bedside nurse. I’m thorough, I work hard and I care tremendously about people and their health. Lately I’ve been burning out. Tonight I think may be an example of how burnt out I ha...

I wish there had been security or an available charge nurse but unfortunately neither were available-1) we do not have security 2) charge nurse was busy with other patients.

After reading comments from others and being in the situation myself, I disagree. The “delay of care” was well within reason given the patient load I had and given n my safety was in jeopardy. Yes I could have taken someone, but no one was available,...

Really? So my safety is of no importance?

@JKL33 I think when I saw burnt out I mean fed up with my current position. Not to complain about my job…. But because you asked… I feel fed up with the constant understaffing, feeling like I can not help people like they need to be helped, like they...

So I got a job offer. It is definitely not the job of my dreams, but hey its a job and I have been thinking about taking it while looking for something more desirable. And since I am moving to a new area of the country, I thought okay this makes thin...

I started a new job last month in long term accute care. I like it pretty much. I like my coworkers pretty much, hours are good, most days I enjoy it. The other night I was charge nurse. When I went to take my 30m break, one of the LVN med nurses lef...

I've been an RN for almost 2 years. I worked at a SNF, outpatient and mental health and am now working in corrections. I am feeling hopeless and angry about my current job. I have only been working at my current place for less than a month. I've been...

@TriciaJ I genuinely feel like I am efficent. It is very difficult to pass to 4 floors of inmates in three hours. Which is why many of the nurses would go at 6pm to start med pass, knowing that it could take 3.5 or even 4 hrs to pass to everyone, esp...

I should have listened to you all. Went into work tonight and traveler charge nurse was in charge. She spent the entire afternoon gossiping about me. At one point another nurse told her... you know she can hear you... I was suppose to be giving meds ...

I called out yesterday because my mental health just couldnt take it. The head charge nurse called me at home and apologized for how I have been treated. Both of the nurses that I spoke about in the original post are leaving...one on Friday and the o...

I have been a nurse for a year and a half. I've bounced around a bit from job to job due to moving (unavoidable family situation) and leaving a job that was not working for me. I am currently working inpatient mental health. I enjoy the actual nursin...

work three days a week, good health insurance, PTO
