  1. Anyone work five 8's in a row 11p-7a?

    sandlewood_nurse replied to RN007's topic in General Nursing

    When I was doing my consolidation we did 2 12 hour day shifts then 2 12 hour night shifts and then had 5 days off. I really liked that :). I felt like when I was working it was work, but then I had...

    sandlewood_nurse replied to etinosa's topic in General Nursing

    sandlewood_nurse replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes that is an idea. I have a friend who does casual work. Since I am hoping to start university in September or January I'm planning on going part time. If my employer is unwilling then I will most...

  4. I am stressed out !! And I know why now !!

    sandlewood_nurse replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

  8. I am stressed out !! And I know why now !!

    sandlewood_nurse replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Joy, I hate giving up and I do believe it makes people stronger so I stuck through it. I stuck out the school (which at times was really great), and I stuck out the job (I felt I had no...

    sandlewood_nurse replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have a job now, I've graduated. I work in the OR. I have a psychiatrist but we don't talk much about work. I think I will bring it up next time. I started going to him for a different reason. But I...

  11. Do Nurses have time...

    sandlewood_nurse replied to xjae's topic in General Nursing

    When I was doing my final consolidation I was on a post op surgical floor. I always found time to have breaks, and go to the washroom. My preceptor had spent a couple days explaining how she organizes...

  12. I am stressed out !! And I know why now !!

    sandlewood_nurse replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I do focus on the patient, but I'm having major depression and anxiety due to the politics. If one person doesn't like you, you are blacklisted. I am starting to really not like nursing because of all...

  13. Need advice on leaving nursing!

    sandlewood_nurse replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the same way. I have weeks where I don't sleep at night because I'm so worried. I've got 8 months experience in the OR only and have been off on medical leave .. now I want to go back but at...

  14. intimidation by nurse manager?

    sandlewood_nurse replied to TinyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but I don't completely agree with you on this. If a person needs to take time off for health, family or for financial reasons and feel stuck then I think its up to the managers and hospital...

  15. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    sandlewood_nurse replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Its crazy in nursing school. I knew several people who were great student nurses who were given a really hard time, especially towards the end. I had a friend who had no issues until her last...

  16. Travel Nursing ?

    sandlewood_nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    What is travel nursing like? Is it hard going from place to place. I guess since I'm in the OR I'd worry about not having enough time to learn doctor's preferences and find things. In general how do...

    sandlewood_nurse replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

  18. How much do you enjoy your nursing job?

    sandlewood_nurse replied to mikethern's topic in General Nursing

    Most days 1 or 2. I think it could go up to a 6 or even 7 if it wasn't for being terrorized by the other nurses (I have only been in my job for a year). I would only give it a 8 or 9 if I wasnt'...

    sandlewood_nurse replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you !! I had tried switching to a part time position. I was denied however by my manager because I was told I needed to get more experience first. Apparently those who switch to part time don't...

    sandlewood_nurse replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in Operating Room

    Hi RNTODAY. I totally understand what you said, I'm the same way. I hate sucking up to people. I'm not a ***** and generally I don't have attitude. Once I get to know someone I'm really nice to them,...
