  1. I have a new job and I'm not getting the hours I was hired for (20/wk). It's a clinic job and there just aren't enough patients. There's a lot of changes going on and in an effort to be cooperative while things were in transition, I think I misrepres...
  2. 'Taking Call? Am I missing something??

    I'm the only one that would be required to take call on this particular day (the one day the department is closed). So yes, I would be the only one that has to take call in the entire department. It's the same day every week. I have no problem doing ...
  3. 'Taking Call? Am I missing something??

    It's one of the specialty departments in a hospital. 10-hour shift. And the call requirements stated in the interview are not at all what was stated in job posting. Having never done call I just don't know what's normal.
  4. 'Taking Call? Am I missing something??

    I'm assuming the position would pay the usual $2-$5 per hour that most call pays but that obviously isn't the same as what I'm earning per hour as an RN. I feel like since my day isn't my own that I'm working for almost free. If I wanted to have an a...
  5. I'm interested in a job that would require call one day a week. There is no rotating call for this one day; it would be required of only me only every single week. I've never done call before so not sure how it works. But to me it appears that I'm ba...
  6. I started a new PRN job almost 3 months ago. It's a unit-based position but I was told in the interview I would be first to float. I was OK with this. So far I've been floated four times. Two of those times were to the same MS/Tele floor and both of ...
  7. Overwhelmed at new job

    Been an RN for about 8 years. Recently changed jobs going from one major hospital system in my town to another major hospital system (tele/obs floor on both). Every single thing in the new hospital is different...the charting, the equipment, the phys...
  8. Ever been a clinical instructor?

    Been considering looking into this for some side work. I'm talking about the type of clinical instructor that oversees the students at their clinical days for school. What are the pros and cons to this??
  9. Considering a Masters in Nursing Education. But a very well-educated colleague suggested CNS instead since ultimately I just want to stay in a clinical environment and not be too far from the bedside. I want to go whichever route will give me the mos...
  10. Serious question, but what is a Masters in Nursing (MS) used for? I don't know anyone with that particular Masters degree and it seems very general/vague. Is this more for a leadership path or clinical path? Would it be a good Masters to help me keep...
  11. Need fast help with answering these types of interview questions. I tend to struggle with coming up with good answers. It always feels so fake and forced. I actually normally interview really well when it's not this format but that doesn't seem to be...
  12. Never feeling good enough, despite milestones

    I can totally relate. I'm struggling with the same thing myself. However...I'm not sure I know the answer but I can tell you that the grass isn't always greener. There is nothing wrong with being happy where you work. There are always ways to know mo...
  13. What else to add to resume????

    Help me brainstorm...what else should I be including on my nursing resume to make sure I'm not forgetting anything? I have my education, licenses, certifications, work history, etc. Just not sure what else I can put when describing my last position (...
  14. Question for Managers about Charge role

    Thanks for the solid replies. It's good food for thought. I just need to figure out how to not let this affect my confidence.
  15. I recently left (quit) my RN job after six years on the same unit. While there I was never approached about being a Charge RN or Manager. I'm a good nurse and employee. My patients loved me and my annual evals were great, if not excellent. Less exper...
