This is a vent post! I just can't hold it in any longer and had to vent somewhere so I figured maybe some of you can understand or offer suggestions. I work night shift on a medical transition unit and am often in the charge nurse role. We have 38 pa...

I have an opportunity to work at a private medical clinic. Full time, all day shifts, slight cut in pay. I am currently working on an acute in patient unit at a hospital for the mess we call AHS. I'm frankly fed up with AHS and the working condition...

I have almost 5 years of acute care hospital experience and have recently left AHS for a clinic job and have never been happier!!! Believe me, you aren't missing out on much by not working in hospital.

Also I should tell you, I went home crying after my first day as a student nurse when I realized that is what I'd be dealing with. However I stuck it out and it does get easier and you don't focus on that part so much. But with that in mind I never d...

I work at a nice clinic Mon- Thurs an don't have to deal with any of that stuff, however I spent 5 years in those type of settings to get here

Why did you leave?

UPDATE: The clinic job is fantastic and I couldn't be happier with my decision to leave AHS for a private clinic. I am not running around like a crazy person all shift and have time to focus in each client individually and provide the quality care t...

I've worked with far worse ratios than that during my LTC days, hence why I got out when I could. I once worked night shift at a LTC facility where I was the only nurse with 88 residents and 3 NA's.

I moved to Alberta in 2011 from BC and they didn't make me upgrade anything.

Question to the OP, are you fluent in French?

That's it! It's official! I am no longer primarily employed by the mess they call AHS. I've accepted this position ( 4 days a week) at the private clinic and opted to remain at AHS on a casual basis only. The new job is actually the same pay as AHS (...

Anyone with any last minute warnings before I take the plunge?

So I have a firm offer now on this private clinic job and am pretty sure I will take it. I'm going to ask my manager a AHS if I can stay on there casual. It's still scary to be giving up a permanent line with AHS in these times when people are beggin...

Whoa !!! As an LPN, I find this SUPER offensive

Hmm yes I guess I'll see about staying casual if I decide to take it. Still need to think on it some more. I've thought about dialysis but heard it was pretty stressful.
