I think you all did a great job answering the questions. Making nurses look as inteligent as we are Good job :)

I have not transferred units before but am thinking of this in the near future. In the hospital I work you can simply bid on another job in any unit that has a posting. Then the person with the most senority gets the position. The actual tranfer happens when your unit is able to let you go. That can take as long as it takes...that;s the bad part waiting to leave can be a long wait. Good luck

hold up..... you guy's got gifts....I have never !!!!!

I depend on the NA's at my hospital. The patient turn over is so great that if the NA's were working I would be on the phone to the night supervisor in a second to send me someone that was going to help. Of course I have experienced times when ancillary staff is off playing in a different field. However, I am the one ot bring them back into the game. If they don't want to play...off they go. I work in a hospital that is union....my floor supervisor isn't worth more then a penny...but we have others whom we can call..I just go above her head!!!!
