   Thank you for your advice! I can honestly see why nurses get burned out so quick, and covid has really messed up a lot of people’s experience working in the healthcare field. I really have enjoyed working at the hospital and prefer it over LTC. Maybe...

   Thank you! Yeah, one thing I hope to learn soon in my nursing career is being more blunt. I expressed to her I felt uncomfortable getting off so soon but she said ‘well the other nurses think youre ready’. Which yes is a compliment, but also it is my...

    If you read my above comment you would know this was sprung on us quite recently. Started this job 2 months ago and got orders 2 weeks ago. Most seasoned nurses I've met are extremely amazing which is why I thought I could come to this forum and ask ...

14. Getting off orientation too early?

    Bean0621 replied to Bean0621's topic in General Nursing

    My question was what was the most professional thing to do. Yes we are military, but I don't think youre military if you don't know that orders can pop up when you least expect it. Trust me the last thing I expected was orders to go overseas while pr...
