i'm a new nurse, i've been working on in a psychiatric hospital for about a year. its been my first nursing job and quite frankly i love psych nursing and i do not plan on leaving the field anytime soon. however the unit i'm working on has its negatives such as staffing, mix of patients, multiple medical surgical issues and disorganization, and i'm not sure any other floor in the psych hospital is any better. i am in desperate need of something new though and not full time. i am really torn between working part time on my unit or switching to casual. realistically i think if i stay on my unit part time i would never venture to the other floors to see whats out there, but i worry with casual i'll have difficulty finding shifts. i have a thousand pros and cons for both casual and part time... and i'm having a really difficult time deciding on what to do. could anyone offer me any support or suggestions?

It's for personal reasons...but the reason I cannot bring myself to change my status is because I feel threatened.

I'm a new nurse, and I've been working on my floor for a year now. We are short staffed and by my understanding our hospital has a 'hiring freeze'. I would really like to switch to a casual position but I don't persay have a "good reason", it's just "personal" I feel very threatened by my co-workers , especially management. How can I approach this situation.

I've been working at an inpatient psych hospital for a little over 6 months... and with new management, higher patient acuity,staffing issues, etc etc, I have made the decision that it's time for a new job. I applied for a job at an outpatient/crisis center/observation center in the city, and would like some advice for the interview. What would be a reasonable response as to why I'm leaving my current job?
