  1. The Dreaded Group Projects

    naptimeRN posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, everyone. Looking for some advice..support.. I am currently finishing up my first semester of three in an RN to BSN program. I am going through the program at my local state university. It's...

  2. I hate nursing!!

    naptimeRN replied to Mistb13's topic in Nursing Career

    You hate your current job... But you may not hate nursing. I did hospital nursing for five years (per diem when I started working outpatient) and I did not like it. I really regretted my decision to...

  3. Thinking about quitting

    naptimeRN replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    Apply for non hospital jobs. When I was sick of the hospital after two years, I applied to outpatient positions and stayed per diem at the hospital. You absolutely should try this before you give up...

  4. From bedside to outpatient surgery center (pre/post op RN), do you like it?

    naptimeRN replied to justcuriousrn1's topic in PACU

    Hi, justcuriousrn. I have been an RN for around 4.5 years. Started on a med/surg floor (still work there per diem). I worked for a couple of years in an outpatient urology surgical clinic and now work...

  5. Posting Schedule

    naptimeRN posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Hello. I work in the pre op/PACU of an outpatient orthopedic surgery clinic. I am part time. The schedule comes out one week before (at the most) and I'm finding this difficult for planning childcare...

  6. Posting Schedule

    naptimeRN replied to naptimeRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Thank you for the info and advice! The rotating schedule sounds organized and fair as well! I guess things are complicated here because we have a few people working 10 hour shifts and everyone else is...

  7. Posting Schedule

    naptimeRN replied to naptimeRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Marz, thank you for your response! I am so jealous of how organized you outpatient facility is in terms of scheduling!! Haha! Seriously though, I do not understand why we can't know ahead of time like...

  8. Posting Schedule

    naptimeRN replied to naptimeRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Thank you for your response. I am part time here, receiving benefits and work three days per week. I work per diem at a hospital. Per out union contract there, our schedule comes out at least 4 weeks...

  9. Non ICU job or bust

    naptimeRN replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in Nursing Career

    Outpatient surgery? I work in an orthopedic surgery clinic PACU doing pre and post op. Many of my coworkers worked in critical care for years and consider this their lower stress retirement job. It's...

  10. What is the Registered Nurse Patient Ratio at your hospital?

    naptimeRN replied to LinenP's topic in General Nursing

    Med surg 1:6-8 on days, 1:8-10

  11. Motherhood and Being a New Nurse

    naptimeRN replied to hillarythenerd's topic in General Nursing

    Would you be willing to do part time? I work per diem since having my baby 9 months ago but was working as an RN for over three years before. I think what's most important is what you and your family...

  12. How much do you make 2016

    naptimeRN replied to soon2bnurse5's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Deleted. Oops, didn't see this was in the LVN

  13. Help please

    naptimeRN replied to uniqui01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Teach most of the year and you could be a camp nurse in the summer

  14. 8 or 12 hour shifts

    naptimeRN replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in General Nursing

    As full time I prefer 12 hours because I feel like 5 days at the hospital is borderline intolerable. As part time and per diem, I prefer 8's because I'm not required to be there 5 days a week and 8...

  15. New Grad job offer

    naptimeRN replied to jesRN9392's topic in California Nursing

    For that pay in the area, coupled with that commute... I would personally not take it. Plus, putting kids into childcare is as I'm sure you know so expensive, so you'd have to figure out if that job...

  16. Stay at home mom after degree?

    naptimeRN replied to ajm16's topic in Nursing Career

    I would definitely get licensed and try finding a job and working until you have the baby. Some experience is better than none and they may be willing to work with you in terms of going part time or...

  17. The Dreaded Group Projects

    naptimeRN replied to naptimeRN's topic in General Students

    All very good advice! Just got done with a group essay. Yes essay! And I'm in an all online program. A 12 page paper is a lot easier to write alone than in an online group. We got it done though...

    naptimeRN replied to naptimeRN's topic in General Students

    I seriously do not understand how people do not feel guilty about doing such things. It's amazing how much work ethic and values can

  19. The Dreaded Group Projects

    naptimeRN replied to naptimeRN's topic in General Students

    So, I just received the best non-contributing group member excuse so far. It's been almost two weeks of working on the project and it is due in 4 days. This girl has been non responsive to over 5...

  20. Anyone else want to burn their statistics book?

    naptimeRN replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Students

    I thought I hated statistics at first. I spent so much time on it really trying to understand every little detail. I became somewhat obsessed and feeling similar to Jack in The Shining 😋 In...

  21. The Dreaded Group Projects

    naptimeRN replied to naptimeRN's topic in General Students

    @nicktexas I agree about accountability. We do have public discussion boards and it's clear to see who participated and who didn't. Even so, the others get the same grade so it's either the instructor...

  22. The Dreaded Group Projects

    naptimeRN replied to naptimeRN's topic in General Students

    Group work done via an online setting is pretty difficult to boot. It's an online program yet a couple of group members have emailed me back days and days later saying they do not check their email...

  23. Upstate Jobs

    naptimeRN replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in New York Nursing

    Chutney, I started around 24 at the hospital and after three years i am at 27.80 without differentials. But I work at a rural hospital outside of Buffalo. In the suburbs with the bigger organizations...
