  1. Don't think my marriage will survive night shift

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

    His response when we were fighting is I should quit. Seems dramatic. But I am wondering if I should tell them that nights isn't working and I need to go to days. They may not be happy and could just...

  2. How full is your NICU usually?

    adpiRN posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I just started a new job in L&D and the NICU is next door so we walked through on my tour. It's a 36 bed level III NICU. It felt empty! Entire rooms were empty. I would guess there were about...

  3. any career changers?

    adpiRN replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated with a BA in Asian Studies and moved to Japan for a year to teach English. When I moved back home a connection got me a temp job at an art auction house. I did that for 6 months and...

  4. Is it ok that I just don't like it?!

    adpiRN replied to melme's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't believe all nurses need med surg. In fact some nurses I know who started in med surg and hated it quit bedside nursing altogether which is sad. I went straight to L&D and have no desire to...

  5. My First Night Shift in a Long Time...

    adpiRN replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    I just did my first night shift since 2010 last night! I have a new night PRN L&D job. I had to get up early yesterday (like 7am) because I have a toddler. Then I tried to nap when he did in the...

  6. Anyone teach nursing school clinicals on the side?

    adpiRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm looking into this as a side gig to my PRN job. Just to mix things up. I think I'd enjoy it. Pay is almost identical to my PRN hospital job. I'm just not sure I like the schedule. Clinical is...

  7. PRN NICU with no NICU experience?

    adpiRN posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm a nurse with 3 years L&D experience, looking for PRN work. I'm mostly focused on L&D, but am applying for other things I see online that I may be qualified for. One is a PRN NICU job. I...

  8. PRN NICU with no NICU experience?

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It definitely raised red flags for me when I saw so many openings. But I've been following this hopsital's job postings for months and for a long time there were no openings in NICU. These few just...

  9. PRN NICU with no NICU experience?

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Over 2 months after I applied for that NICU PRN job my application status changed to "considering". Which I guess means that they may consider hiring someone with no NICU experience for PRN!...

  10. Starting a (hopefully) fruitful career!

    adpiRN replied to phuretrotr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that sounds like a great opportunity! I'm an L&D nurse hoping to move to NICU someday. And I would never want to work in an adult ICU! Just doesn't appeal to

  11. Is it possible to be hired PRN in a new speciality?

    adpiRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I have 3 years of L&D experience and when I relocated to a new area I decided I just wanted to work PRN for awhile since I have a young child at home. I applied for everything PRN that interested...

  14. What do you think of this story?

    adpiRN posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Premature baby declared dead comes back to life after 2 hours of skin to skin with mom. Amazing!! How is this possible? Did he literally have no heartbeat or respirations for 2 hours??...

  15. Camp nursing with your child

    adpiRN posted a topic in Camp

    My son is almost 2, but in a few years I'd love to get a job as a camp nurse and bring him with me as a camper! For those who do this - do you get free or discount tuition for your child? Do you also...

  16. What do you think of this story?

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks for finding that update, hypersaurus!

  17. no new grads allowed in hospitals?

    adpiRN replied to ramosyasmin16's topic in General Nursing

    I was hired into L&D as a new BSN

  18. Any advice for a prospective NICU nurse?

    adpiRN replied to Ttillrn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You could target a local hopsital with a good NICU and apply for any position there. Even med-surg PRN. Then you'd have access to internal job postings and could even go to the NICU manager in...

  19. Camp Nursing and bringing your own kids

    adpiRN replied to purplevega's topic in Camp

    OP - do you mind sharing which camp? I'm researching camps in the NC mountains to hopefully work at while my DS attends camp. He's only 2 now so this would be a few years down the road. Curious what...

  20. Camp nursing with your child

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Camp

    I'll look at day camps, but I don't there are great options around here. I know he probably can't go for at least 4 years, just thinking ahead :

  21. Why should I become an rn instead of a pa?

    adpiRN replied to thinkingcap's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worked on a floor with PAs and two comments I heard from them were that it was harder for PAs to switch specialties and they didn't have the option of going per diem. So some expressed jealousy of...

  22. Performing vaginal exams

    adpiRN replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My first L&D job was a large hospital with residents so we didn't do SVE. At my new per diem job they're going to teach me on orientation. I'm excited to learn! And to work at a hospital where...

  23. Applying for position on M/B but I have a question

    adpiRN replied to RNinC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a 2 year gap on my résumé from staying home with my son. I didn't put it on my résumé but they did ask in the interview what I'd been doing. I said I'd been staying home with my baby. I...

  24. Please help....

    adpiRN replied to Kat091177's topic in Nursing Career

    If it were me I'd definitely go for Peds :) But I'm interested in Peds and I also moved from NY to SC by choice (with my husband and son, but leaving my parents and siblings behind) We love it here!...

  25. BSN Student Interested in Abortion Care as a R.N.

    adpiRN replied to GBRKG122's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You don't have to apply for a new grad residency program. How about just applying to your local Planned Parenthood? Maybe try volunteering now to get your foot in the door. In college I volunteered as...
