  3. Migraines and nursing?

    Burnt Out replied to MeganStar's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I've had migraines since I was 13 and there were times I had to leave early (if it was really bad, I'd go straight to the ER) or call in if one hit me hours before I was supposed to be at work and I...

  10. Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital

    Burnt Out replied to lara2121's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I think the Flex would be a rotating position, if I remember correctly: 1 week days, next week nights. If you work past 3pm you would get a shift differential. The PRN, full time and part time all...

    Burnt Out replied to lara2121's topic in Alabama Nursing

  15. Advice, what would you have done in this situation?

    Burnt Out replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    It is very hard as a new grad to learn to delegate but it is necessary. You will burn out quickly if you do your job along with everyone else. I'm not saying we as RNs can't put a patient on the...

  16. Anyone else having trouble renewing online?

    Burnt Out replied to ND76's topic in Alabama Nursing
