Kudos, my dear. I am a M/S nurse who dare anyone to walk in my shoes too. I volunteer to float ER anytime. ER to is very convenient MS floor with MD around to attend your need, no waiting for pharmacy, no phone call necessary with less patient. what is the percentage of real emergency that came to the ER? anyone know in a given night. I will tell you one thing a M/S nurse can survive anywhere. ER ICU pacu bring it on. we will have plenty time to focus.

I am planing on moving to florida, I am a med-surg with tele exp. How is the market for nurses downthere. I heard the pay is horrible but i do not have a job now. And also i now want to stay closer to my family. I was fired from my previous job. My patient came out of surgery with some complication. this particular doctor always have patient with complication post surgery. You call him he could care less . I heard that He does his robotic prostate surgery unassisted. He sometimes attempt to blame the nurses. I said "do not manipulate foley" We know that we did not manipulate foley .More fluid coming out of the jp draing than the foley. bolus after bolus with no urinary output. uncontrollable pain . Blood pressure sky high. cracles lungs, sob.ect. Nurses assistants that you can never find and forget to chart whatever they did. ( lesson learn do not care so much that you get frustrated you might end blowing off steam in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was thinking in my head except that it came out loud. my safety valve were broken, someone over heard me talking to myself. ( and it was not pretty) I worry so much about the guy. all the comfort time and care i gave him and his family did not amount to anything. I love being a nurse but i need to learn to leave my heart at home and come to work with my brain only.It was my first job i learn from my mistake. It is challenge to explain being fired to potential employer.

You are what you think you keep up with the positive. The lesson to learn is that live life one day at a time. and that there is not garantee that all would be bad or all will be good. Enjoy your present happiness in life don't think about it. whatever comes just say. this too shall pass.

Technically it is a waste to the patient account. waste in the term it was not used for the intended purpose meaning the patient. But the thing about nursing someone can decide what is a big deal and what is not. First of all do not panic. There are lot of mistake being made because we are overloaded but no one care. the honest caring nurse like you and i are being made example of. The truth will set you free. You did the right thing and the board will see that. I doubt that you will loose your license. Keep your head high.live and learn

Do you really want to be a nurse? There are no jobs for nurses now. If you have problems with the science classes. The Nursing course will be even harder for you. Do not put all your eggs in one basket. Do not get in debt for nursing school. Try a different field. Don't let what you hope for spoil what you have now.

DEAR SISTER, Do not give up, I too was an LPN who lost my job because i became an RN. It took me 6month to get a job. I had to move from the west coast to the mid-west. you have a good track record that will help you. As for your age it should not matter. but i will tell you keep up with your health. eat well and take a morning walk. Drop a few pounds if you need to it will make you feel better. Stay positive enjoy your PRESENT your future will come regardless. I will pray for you.

like i said earlier my contract allow me to be hire by the company 120 days after the last day of my assignment.

Some have written stipulation that you can be hire 120 day after your last assignments.

I am sorry you have to go through this. time has changed. Nursing is not what it used to be. I know the feeling. I lost my LVN job when i became an RN and could not find a Job. Ironic!!!!!I look for six months and had to move out of states. You will be in my prayers. do not give up. Try some nursing Home Or LTC. Good luck

I am so sorry that you have to go through that. i know the feeling. fight back smartly. and most of all make sure nursing is what you really want to do. Nursing is self learning in a way. Don't rely on teachers to teach you every thing. Be alert. come to clinical ready. plan ahead. review the most common medications used in whatever rotation you in. you will look smarter than you are. be confident in you ability because a non-confident nurse is a scary nurse no one want to be cared by.

We need to start calling our State representative, call NPR CNN and let them know that American NUrse born raised studied in America are not able to find employment. Charity begins with self. We should not be importing Nurses. Can we start a petition to the health department. Please someone do the research find who we can write to. put it on facebook twitters and all the others.

Hello still looking, I feel compel to respond to your note. Sometimes life is trying to stir us in other direction but we want to force the way. Obviously you are a smart one. you should try health care administration or the military.

Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. I am a fairly new nurse going into my first traveling assignment. reading your post really help me. i wish i could PM you i do not know how.

hello dear, tell me if it is a good deal i have a travel contract with 930 a week stipend 13.00 regular rate and 19 overtime and 26 extend. this is my first assignement any advice will be welcome

I feel your dilemma because i was in your shoes a year ago. Traveling is not for new grad and nowadays traveling job are down. you have to network get your feet on a hospital door. get some cash flow going get a year experience then you can move.Best luck to You
