  1. Sitting at work

    adpiRN replied to nursefortheLord's topic in General Nursing

    I sit to document and when I start IVs and sometimes when going over discharge

  2. Resigning while on maternity leave

    adpiRN replied to RNtoBe14's topic in General Nursing

    I resigned while on maternity leave. My plan was to be a SAHM for awhile and my husband runs his own business so we had to buy our own insurance. I resigned a few weeks after my son was born and I...

  3. When you just don't want to go to work....

    adpiRN replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    Disneyworld!!! But seriously I love Disney and we're going in Jan with our son which I hope will be an annual thing. I figure roughly two shift covers one day of Disney. I just picture how much fun...

  4. OR vs NICU nursing

    adpiRN replied to maggieb14's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have much advice but those are two of my dream jobs so congratulations!!! Are the jobs days or nights? (And which shift do you prefer?) Is OR 12 hour shifts? (Some do 8s or 10s). Does the OR...

  5. Nurse at Disneyworld

    adpiRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a HUGE Disney fan and have just decided that this is a dream job of mine. Has anyone looked into this or know anyone who was a nurse @ Disney? Would love to know how often jobs come up (I'd guess...

  6. waiting after nclex to work?

    adpiRN replied to aubsy622's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused - are you already pregnant or not? Because if not you won't be having a baby in Jan. In that case start working first. Even if you only get a few months under your

  7. ER, PEDS or JAIL...hardest decision in my life!

    adpiRN replied to Ashleyhunleyrn's topic in General Nursing

    Ok then take the ER job. Just saying what I would do.

  8. ER, PEDS or JAIL...hardest decision in my life!

    adpiRN replied to Ashleyhunleyrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why you assume ER is an easy transition to ICU. If you get a job at the Children's Hospital you could probably easily transfer to PICU. Would that count? For me it would be a no...

  9. Is there a certain time of year when there are more nursing jobs available?

    adpiRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently employed PRN but when I'm bored I like to browse local hospital job listings. I noticed there seemed to be a lot of positions in the spring and it has definitely slowed down now. Do...

  10. What would you do? Multiple offers...

    adpiRN replied to KJRNBSN29's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Are you new to OB?

  11. Where to go from here (Med Surg, that is)?!

    adpiRN replied to newRNinthecity's topic in General Nursing

    I never worked med surg but I'm on Mother Baby and it's awesome and nurses I work with who came from med surg comment on how much easier it is. You may have 3-4 couplets or 6-7 pts on PP but they're...

  12. Starting in MB Monday!

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    My background is L&D (for 3.5 years) and recently my only job has been teaching a maternity clinical for nursing school where I mostly care for PP patients with the students. I start a new job...

  13. Starting in MB Monday!

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    GA. It's a tiny hospital. Entire hospital census is usually 30-50 pts! The last shift there were only 4 couplets on the floor and two nurses. (Plus me but I'm on orientation) Each nurse got an...

  14. Who here works both part time and per diem?

    adpiRN replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a new nurse or experienced? The PRN jobs I've had have no obligation over the minimum. Right now I'm only per diem but when my son is older and I want to work more I may get a part time job...

  15. How do I tell the manager at my new job I don't think I can do this/I quit!!?

    adpiRN replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    If you find another job, or can go back to your old one, just quit. No need to feel guilty or explain yourself. Recently I quit a job after 3 months and should have quit sooner, but felt guilty. It...

  16. What do you guys do to de-stress?

    adpiRN replied to OBigdog26's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Play with my 2 year old (which is sometimes more stressful than work though! Lol) Run, yoga, read, journal, take a bath, get a massage, travel, go on a date night with my hubby for a good meal and a...

  19. Starting in MB Monday!

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So far so good! Nurses are nice, we have nice helpful residents on the floor which I enjoy coming from a teaching hospital. And the work load is so much nicer than what I'm used to on a busy L&D...

  20. Which Job Should I Choose

    adpiRN replied to stefanne2011's topic in General Nursing

    I meant that I would take the day shift one. Not a fan of nights. Sorry that post didn't make sense. I read it and thought about editing it. I'd take the second one! (If days

  21. Which Job Should I Choose

    adpiRN replied to stefanne2011's topic in General Nursing

    Is the second job day shift? That would be a deal breaker for me :) Plus better pay and commute? Win-win! I like the idea of a new unit because no cliques or bullies have formed

  25. Looking for Opinions on the Pros & Cons of My Work Schedule

    adpiRN replied to x19amanda's topic in General Nursing

    If you enjoy it and it's not causing stress I think it's valuable. A schedule like that sounds nice to me because I get burned out doing the same thing all the time. Right now I teach a nursing...
