    JMoney posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hi Everyone! I have been a bedside RN for 7 years in a large Acute Care Hospital. I have a very good reputation with staff and physicians, and I also functioned as a Relief Charge. I was one of the...

  3. Not good at change

    JMoney replied to JMoney's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hi BeeKee - Yes I do like consistency, predictability and consistency. And, yes, I did the same thing when I first became a nurse, and when I moved to my previous position. I go through this every...

  4. Changing to 8 hour shifts

    JMoney posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok I feel silly even posting this. I'm currently working 3 twelve hour shifts a week. I'm thinking about moving to a unit with 5 eight hour shifts. I'm worried this will be hard to adjust to. I'm...

  5. Changing to 8 hour shifts

    JMoney replied to JMoney's topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone! Thank you all for your advice. I've decided to not take the five 8s position. Working five days a week, with my start time each day being anytime between 0900 and 1500, just doesn't...

  6. Changing to 8 hour shifts

    JMoney replied to JMoney's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I work days - have never worked nights- three 12 hour shifts per week. I'm required to work 4 weekend days per month and holidays. 4:1 patient ratio. This recovery job would be mon-fri 1000-1830,...

  7. Changing to 8 hour shifts

    JMoney replied to JMoney's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really struggling with this. Ugh. I'm so ready for change and to get away from the bedside - I'm so sick of working the bedside and all that it entails. Having PACU skills would be amazing!!!...

  8. Changing to 8 hour shifts

    JMoney replied to JMoney's topic in General Nursing

    I think my biggest fear is getting away with my hubby or friends. With 12s I can arrange them in a way that I can get a block of time off and not use PTO, to go out of town. Also, on my off days are...

  10. Changing to 8 hour shifts

    JMoney replied to JMoney's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Penguin67. It's nice to hear something positive. I'm exhausted working 12s. If I work 2 in a row, the day after I'm so tired I don't do anything. It'll be an adjustment, but if I don't go...

  11. Changing to 8 hour shifts

    JMoney replied to JMoney's topic in General Nursing

    It's a hospital job. I'd be going from bedside nursing with a 4:1 ratio to recovery room with a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio. It's something I've always wanted to do. I'm over being a bedside nurse, so I'm...

  12. Charting in patient rooms

    JMoney posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Recently, we were informed by administration (who do NOT stand all day) that we are not to chart in the nurse's station or pods. That we are to do all charting at the bedside, and that sitting is for...

  13. What do you do to stay positive?

    JMoney replied to tuxedopenguino's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I feel like I've become one of those negative people. Morale is bad on my unit and I can't wait to move on. I try to just get thru each day as best I can. I try to stay away from the drama, but I do...

  14. Work anxiety...advice appreciated

    JMoney posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone. I've been a nurse for over 3 years and I really like my job. I would describe myself as a type A personality and always make sure I follow hospital protocol. But, sometimes I make minor...

    JMoney posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I've been a staff nurse for about 14 months now. I admit that I have come A LONG way since my first day on the floor - remember having that "deer in the headlights" look frequently. So, I worked...

    JMoney posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hi everyone. I am a new staff nurse and have been doing 3-12's since Feb. I work days 7-7:30 pm. My problem is that my knees start to ache/hurt at about 2 pm. I bought a new pair of shoes, New...

    JMoney replied to JMoney's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hi PlaneJanie77 - weight isn't the issue. Im not overweight. I think I just need to keep trying to find shoes that work for me. I just hate the thought of buying shoe after shoe until I find the...
