  11. What Else Can I Do For A Living?

  12. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    Maybe you can get support during your years of nursing school. Clinical rotations can be crazy too, so think ahead on how to best deal with childcare. Once you graduate perhaps you can look for work...
  13. Regular hours?

    After 12 years on the floor, I now work a 7-4 non-patient care job. I think without the patients working daily is easier. I rarely bring work home, and if I do it's because it's my choice to do so....

  20. Would you hire an MUSC grad over anyone else?

    Why would someone in MUSC make a better nurse? Shouldn't they be working with Adele? I don't know what's going on here. Gonna daydream about
  21. Master's degree

    I do. Got it in Health Care Systems Management from Loyola New Orleans. They actually offer the program online as well as being a brick and mortar facility. I work in a corporate setting and this is...
  22. I agree with EAP and also the FMLA comments. Use the FMLA time to look for another job. Maybe you need another area of healthcare to work in since this is not the job for you. Perhaps clinic work? I...
  23. Hematology/Oncology unit. There was also overflow thrown in just for the extra exercise. No better way for a new nurse to learn then chemo, codes and crazy patients all on the same
