  1. Tips for working swing shifts?

    movealong posted a topic in General Nursing

    I thought I would ask if anyone has any useful tips for working swing shifts? I am being scheduled for a combo of day and evening shifts. I start as early as 7am some days, other days I am on evenings...

  2. Topic: Venting in Private?

    movealong replied to Nursie30's topic in General Nursing

    I too am very sorry to hear this. I have often wondered if anyone could tell who I was on this board. If they looked back at my posts, I'm pretty sure they might have a reasonable idea about who I...

  3. Tips for working swing shifts?

    movealong replied to movealong's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the tips. Maybe it's because I am so tired, but I am trying to decide whether to stay with this job which I love in all other aspects, or whether it's time to start thinking about quitting....

    movealong replied to IowaCindy's topic in General Nursing

  6. SanDiego Area?

    movealong replied to Kim2's topic in California Nursing

    What a shame. I lived in OB for 13 years, never more than a couple blocks from the ocean. Used to ride my bike to work. I still miss it. It was so relaxing, and a very casual

  8. SanDiego Area?

    movealong replied to Kim2's topic in California Nursing

    I used to live in san Diego, but moved about 9 years ago. I wanted to buy a house and could not afford one there. I lived in Ocean Beach. It had a bad rep, but I never had any trouble there at all....

  9. Conferences/Seminars

    movealong replied to jadednurse's topic in Telephone Triage

  11. Marriage to a Nurse-- Need HELP

    movealong replied to proview's topic in Telephone Triage

  14. Taking out the trash

    movealong replied to VAC's topic in General Nursing

    If the trash needs to be emptied and nobody else ( housekeeping) is able, sure I'll empty the trash. More so if we did any kind of bedside procedure and filled the trash. It doesn't hurt to do it. If...

    movealong replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    movealong replied to kmchugh's topic in General Nursing

    It's tricky, isn't it? I myself would assist in an abortion procedure, if need be. I don't have to worry about it much, in my current job, that just will not happen. But over the years, I have been a...

  17. Silly Question - Rotating Weekends

    movealong replied to MsBruiser's topic in General Nursing
