Thank you very much Nurse Beth. It is very helpful to get someone else's perspective when all I see is the "brick wall". I should utilize the EAP, and a financial planner. The anxiety of the job is almost making me not function. And the discord between the company and the union currently is only making it worse. Thank you for the insight.

Im glad that pt was able to validate your work. Everytime I want quit , that kind of situation happens(validation) , and I hang on a little longer. But I am officially done( unfortunately I don't care what a pt says)For the last 6 months on average our imcu/pcu has been having take 7 to 9, sometimes 10 patients a piece with drips , pacer wires chest tubes,bipap , restraints, tavrs(who always bleed).days and nights. my days are definitely not worth it anymore.and my license says its not worth it either ?

Due to rediculous staffing ratios8-10 pts on a intermediate care unit with cardiac drips, temp pacers, tavrs , pci, etc I want out! I've applied to non staff jobs with some interviews and no luck. I think its because I've been doing the other for over 10 years. No one wants to teach an older person anything new? Im very very willing to learn, but seems thats not good enough. I don't want to travel more than an hour , which makes things difficult( I already travel 1 hr) that would mean picking up and moving after paying on house for 21 years.it would be different if I was younger. what do you do ? Id love to actually do c a non nursing job , but cant live on 20 bucks an hour, at least here in nys.?

Is there a way to see what a potential employer would see on a background check? And I take tramadol at hs for back pain ( from pain mgmt MD) will that prevent me from getting a new job ?

{quote] Caring for patients with devastating long hauler syndrome Maintaining a high standard of care without adequate staffing, supplies and other resources Working routine overtime because of your own personal responsibility to support your peers Facing the words “there is no one”, “you’ll have to make do” and “you have no choice” when asking the house supervisor for additional help No pay increase in the past 18 months Hope that disappears when large numbers of new hires resign within the first 4 weeks Frequent floating with high nurse patient ratios Alarming number of rapid response calls and code blues [/quote] I'm with you on this . my place got rid of a float pool 2 yrs ago. Everyone's leaving. People floated each shift Robbing Peter to pay Paul If I wanted to float Id join a float pool!! It makes me so angry that they use us to fill the holes, while making our own floor short and stressed, which leads to more quitting. We have a few travelers. Most do not return - they say the ratios are ridiculous. Many of the people leaving are going to travelling- if I have to float, might as well get paid for it!!

Congratulations on the job.

Is anyone noticing that it seems very difficult to find non patient care jobs? Almost every nurse I work with is trying to “get out” and we hear that request everyday from other nurses in the company too. Anyone else having this problem ? Was hoping not to waste the degree, but may have to to get out of patient care. Have applied, but then never hear anything back Any hope ? Is it maybe regional?
