Hi allnurses!! Okay so I am done with nursing, have been at it for almost 10yrs, got thrown under one too many buses. It is a career that was fulfilling and rewarding, however I am done. So my question is where to go from here?? I am very good ...

Hi AN, may this [long] post find you ALL in the best of nursing and personal spirits!! So there I was, applying at casinos, human resource assistants, etc...totally made up my mind to give up the beloved craft I worked so hard to learn, when my beaut...

Get well ASAP Nurse Nina and Nurse Amber!! May you have the best of health and thank you for your bravery!!

Thank you ALL so much for the replies, here I never even saw them until now...lol, all this time I thought no one had replied. Let me tell you what has transpired since...going to start a new thread!! But thanks again and I really appreciate all the ...

Well here is the final update on this thread, thank you for responding!! Was emailed by the NM at the sister hospital, HR pulled my file at her request, not even being considered for the job. Too many write ups (six in 5 years) with the most recent b...

OK I am breaking my silence and getting down to the rawness of my situation, if only just to vent, but open to advice as this IS the best place for the truth!! In a nutshell, I am an unemployed (as of 9/2013--way too long for my blood) RN with sev...

Hi nrssmile7499, oh my goodness, yes!! That is one of my dream jobs, however, BSN or higher required, but I am even willing to go back to school, if I can afford it, of course!! Thanks so much and thank you as well Texas86RN, really I thank you all!!...

Thank you jadelpn, and my thoughts were exactly the same! The morning labs and/or med changes are for morning staff, correct?? Yet this nurse is known for asking for or instructing what to do AFTER report. Umm, hello?? I would like to go home to slee...

Yes blondy206, yes. They hang out with a lot of the docs after work, go to their parties, etc. Never was my preference to hang out like that. I am not into cliques, but in retrospect, I wish I had hung around with that particular cardiologist!!

Thanks Here., Believe me lesson learned!! The scenario plays over in my head more times than I care to admit. I am just hoping to find out about the other hospital job, is it a good opportunity?? I don't know...:-(

That's exactly what I thought!! And it's all true!! I kid you not, when the error was discovered---THE NEXT DAY--one of her buddies stated, and I quote: "Oh we d/c'd the protocol because it was a PITA, why did you re-order it?" I replied, "I didn't" ...

Thanks Esme, yes I have applied at Kindred, not hiring at the facility 5mins away from me (darn!) but am waiting to hear back for a position farther from home. ((hugs)) back to you! It seems as if the world of healthcare is closing on me...??

Thank you Commuter, I am doing well physically, although I do have an incisional hernia with dilated bowel loops, I am opting for "watchful waiting" as surgery at this point would be the beginning of the real "end". The post-op dx was a mucinous cyst...

I agree with the OP, however that rarely happens to me, for the simple fact that I am so leery of "rude" responses, I THOROUGHLY research my nursing issue before ever attempting to post a new thread r/t my personal thought/questions/etc. That being s...

Love this!! LMBO, but seriously hoping they call you!! Good luck!!

"There goes our little girl, all grown up and off to her first day of nursing school...have the box of tissue ready for when she gets home....!!!"

"Administration offered bonuses for the new clone program, in exchange, we must work 36 hours straight---are you interested?"

"I'm not schizophrenic, and neither am I...."

"Apparently SOMEBODY did not get the memo about the strict new uniform policy...."

Well, it is truth and consequences time...I have to cancel a contract that I never even got started on due to lack of funds for travel, licensure, etc...how bad is it going to be for me?? I have no job, no money, and am at my wits end with my nursing...

Thank you again NedRN, when I actually got the phone call interview I asked the HR and manager which agency actually referred me, and they stated the one that I did not go with the NM assignment, but did not seem to care at all which agency I was com...

Hi all!! Okay here is the update: I screwed the pooch on the Roswell assignment, I just could not get the funds. However---Terre Haute hospital called me out of the blue (it was an earlier request I had due to the licensure and moving issues I had) a...

Thanks again NedRN, and thank you too KaroSnowQueen, I am going to try my hardest to get SOMETHING going here!! I do want to go, however I have to be prepared!!

First of all congrats!! You will do fine! I have 5yrs tele experience and I can tell you that a ratio of 4:1 is ideal as the other poster said, many cardiac pts have many co-morbidities, including but not limited to: DM, COPD, even neoplasms. Know yo...

PS---I was originally licensed in IL, should I try to go back there?? I cannot afford one state license, let alone 2!! My logic was if I could obtain an out of state license, I should go for a nicer area. Chicago is a crime infested lousy area, I kno...
