  1. Should I give a two weeks' notice?

    Covidnursedropout replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    2 werks is a waste of time. Period. They will never be able to replace you in 2 weeks. Maybe in 6 months. If you wanna give 6 months notice. 2 weeks is a slap in the

  2. Should I give a two weeks' notice?

    Covidnursedropout replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    Because they would give you 2 weeks notice if they didn't like you. I've never given 2 weeks notice and never had an issue. I don't use my manager as a reference I use a coworker. But where we're...

  3. Your MOST Memorable (Good/Bad) COVID Moment | Nurses Week Contest

    Covidnursedropout replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I worked in the covid ICU. Obviously the mortality rate in the covid ICU was insanely high and anybody that was admitted was not expected to make it. Every shift was a *** show and I had so many...

    It's essentially a bruise, but not one associated with an injury. Elevate and apply

  5. Should I give a two weeks' notice?

    Covidnursedropout replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    I have never had anything bad happen by not putting in 2 weeks. As long as you don't plan on ever working there

  6. No hospital will hire me!

    Covidnursedropout replied to ineedachange1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I left my job at a SNF to help because I couldn't just sit back and do nothing knowing that they desperately needed nurses with hospital experience. I had 3 days of hospital orientation and 2 days of...

  7. No hospital will hire me!

    Covidnursedropout replied to ineedachange1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well the sad truth is that during the pandemic a lot of nurses left the hospitals. For many reasons. Without travelers I don't know how we would have ever done it. They didn't have enough staff to...

    Covidnursedropout replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever ICU had a patient on anything that required 1:1 nursing care, they argued over who got to take the patient. "Look, I'm getting paid to sit and do nothing." And? How is that different than...

    You know a place is bad when travelers who are getting $100/hr crisis pay do their 13 weeks and don't resign when their contract ends. That's

    Covidnursedropout replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I got a $10,000 sign on bonus and signed a 2 year contract. I found out pretty early into it that they might be getting bought out by another company. In December they announced publicly that...

    Covidnursedropout replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah. The patients get admitted where the bed is. All they care about are the times when it comes to admitting a patient. If a patient is on a drip and needs to go to ICU but ICU is full, they...

    Covidnursedropout replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    They are getting paid $50/hr to chart, pretend like they actually went into the room. You go in to the room to do your assessment and all of the drips are just about empty, it was obviously too much...

    Covidnursedropout replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    You know the ones. They leave a permanent *** indention into the chair they have claimed as their own, while “delegating” their job to others. They are given students or baby nurses to...

    I'll never forget something our manager said. Our catheter infection rate was high, we had like 8 CAUTI's in one month. Our manager was upset because foley care wasn't charted every shift on those...

  18. How to Approach Manager about Transferring to Another Unit

    Covidnursedropout replied to peachshan's topic in General Nursing

    My manager knew I wasn't happy before I said a word to anybody. When I approached her and told her I wanted to transfer, she wasn't surprised. She asked me what units I would want to go to and I...

  19. How to Approach Manager about Transferring to Another Unit

    Covidnursedropout replied to peachshan's topic in General Nursing

    It's really hard if you're a good nurse! If you sucked they would gladly let you transfer. I've tried this myself multiple times in my own career but I have yet to be successful, so I have nothing...

    Covidnursedropout replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    They can't take whatever part of the sign on bonus they gave you back and you were smart for holding on to it. Chances are they will just keep your next paycheck. So why bother showing

    You know it's time to leave when you start having thoughts like the ones you're having. It's not normal. You shouldn't dread anything to this extent, work included. Not liking it, or not wanting to...

    Covidnursedropout replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. Why not put all that energy into just being a good nurse instead of making it a competition. It isn't a competition, we are all in it
