2. What do you think of this schedule?

   adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

   Every other weekend and Wednesday afternoons seems to be standard in our state. But he has already told me he doesn't think that's enough and wanted more weeknights. And I'd rather not have to switch...

3. Full time night shift and divorce with small children

   adpiRN replied to studentsara's topic in General Nursing

   I just made a separate post on a similar subject! I'm trying to find a schedule that works for us. I'm part time days though. I'm thinking of proposing a 4 day weekend with dad every third weekend...

   I work part time days in the NICU and am going through a divorce and trying to figure out how to sync my work schedule with my son's time with his dad (which is still being negotiated) On our unit we...

   adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   Ok good. I was worried I'd be in for a shock if I ever worked in another

7. How common is all this support?

   adpiRN posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

   I'm on orientation at a level IV NICU. I'm loving it so far!! One thing I was pleasantly surprised with was how much support from we have - jobs I assumed would be the RN's role other people take...

8. NICU or ICU for new nurse

   adpiRN replied to jbritt's topic in General Nursing

   If you can get an internship in the NICU as a new grad do it! All the new grads hired to my NICU were student externs

9. Am I right about nursing?

   adpiRN replied to Monsoon8181's topic in General Nursing

   That sounds accurate for a med-surg nurse. I did L&D where you get 1 or 2 patients. It can be frantic in its own way though. I work in the NICU now and it's so nice to have 1-3 patients and spend...

    adpiRN replied to jbritt's topic in General Nursing

    And as for a unit to start with try for mother/baby or newborn nursery if possible! But those can be tough to land for new grads (not as tough as NICU though) Any ICU would be good too if you could...

12. NICU or ICU for new nurse

    adpiRN replied to jbritt's topic in General Nursing

    If your only experience is adults you would not be hired PRN in Peds and DEFINITELY not NICU. So you should wait until your contract is up at the other hospital and you have your BSN and then apply...

    adpiRN replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    3.25 years. I was lucky and got L&D as a new grad. If I was in med-surg I may not have made it a year... After about 2 years I was pretty sure L&D wasn't for me. Very frantic pace and...

15. Negativity from non NICU nurses

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well that was a little uncalled for... I do appreciate the support of everyone on this board, even if I didn't respond to each individual post. Thanks everyone! First day on the floor
