How would that work with your hospital? I have thought of doing the same, but feel like if I go prn I might not get enough work when I come back. I love my job and don't want to lose it but want to TRAVEL!
I started out on a busy m/s floor for about 9 months before moving to peds and feel like I learned a LOT that I may not have learned here. Even though I disliked my first job I think it made me a much better peds nurse.
I am about to graduate from a BSN program. I was set on working at a particular hospital (and applied at a few of their locations). I have a good resume, but now apparently they won't even look at it b/c I failed their "core values asessment". They s...
Jattjatt, are you asking me? Yes, I worked elsewhere for 9 months, then retook the test and got a job there...been there for 2.5 years and am happy in my job:)
I wear an XS petite in Urbane and Grey's Anatomy...Med Couture runs the same in sizing compared to these brands for me, except I don't need petite pants. I think they are my favorite scrubs I own. Try 'em, I have a feeling you will like them:)
This made me laugh! I thought the same thing to myself, and especially a particular pt of mine (one of six pts, as usual) who had meds every single hour of my shift save for two. What, why!? And him being rude for my coming in so often did not help.
I chose my 1st job b/c it was a day shift, the people seemed friendly, and the building was clean and had lots of light. My new job I chose b/c it is close to my house, and b/c it will provide ample opportunity to learn new skills. Also, of all the i...
Hi all- I have been offered a job and completed my physical + paperwork. I am wondering though about the background check as that is the only thing not finished. Before becoming a nurse I had a license in a health-related field and did not complete a...
As the first poster said, it is not unheard of for hospitals to schedule rotating shifts, but where I live it is very rare, most are straight nights or days. I would say put in some applications and see, it can't hurt to try.
I have contacted my recruiter and was told it is this particular health board who is not responding...apparently whoever conducts the background checks wants verifications that this red flag on my former health license is nothing serious. I am consid...

Well I just received my Blue Sky scrubs...my first impression is not good. I somehow did not realize they are 65% polyester. I am sure they withstand multiple washings, but I like softness against my skin. Also, they make me look like I have no butt ...

Personally, I would prefer to NOT have to deal with management during day shift. In-services, leader rounds, case conference...I lose a lot of time that would be better spent elsewhere. Trust me, it doesn't gain me anything.
I was actually hired for a position within the hospital system without my manager knowing. However, after I was hired she was notified and I had not had time to let her know I was transferring. I wish it had come from me, not the new manager.
My sister goes to Belize every year; I have been saving up...maybe next May? Also lately I have just been wanting to rent a convertible and drive out West...never been to Vegas, so that is on the list.
