  1. totaly burnt out

    RN4NICU replied to godivalady's topic in General Nursing

    I know how you feel (very well, actually). Have you thought about/tried working as an agency nurse or a traveler? It has really helped me fend off burnout. I can go in to work, do my job, not get...

  2. Nursing Jobs- 1 year of experience?

    RN4NICU replied to CNMtobe2012's topic in General Nursing

    Clinicals do not count because everyone has them - it is implied that clinical experience was gained in the education program. Some places will stick to their 1 yr requirement like glue and others,...

  4. Working in Hospitals

    RN4NICU replied to MichaelSSSS's topic in General Nursing

    michael, considering the fact we have college degrees, i think it's reasonable to expect far, far better for ourselves than the jobs you mentioned. we are not in the same pool as those occupations....

  6. Make Nursing Better

  8. Working through the holidays?

    RN4NICU replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not only will these "I deserve priority" mommies not return the favor, but then they also want you to cover their weekends (especially in the summer), because of kids' ballgames, birthday parties,...

  10. Working through the holidays?

    RN4NICU replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've never liked that plan...off the eve, work the day, or vice versa. You can never get a holiday completely off like that. Not so bad if it's just you, spouse, and kids but if you have family out...

    RN4NICU replied to nursemary9's topic in General Nursing

    FL has a pretty solid reputation for needing nurses of all specialties in a bad way. They also have a solid reputation for not wanting to pay squat. They have yet to figure out that the two are...

  19. Working through the holidays?

    RN4NICU replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    PRNs required to work holidays would not fly where I work. The PRN pool would disappear. After all, freedom of scheduling is why people work PRN. One hospital I used to work at gave the option -...

    Sounds like a potential Arbor Mist commercial -- they could air it during next year's

  24. What are FBC and NPM units?

    RN4NICU replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    These days it is not at all uncommon to see jobs posted for units in which you used to have to wait for a staff nurse to retire before you could get in. I have a couple of theories about this. 1 -...

    Many places I've worked, you have to be in the hall to hear the overhead page. If you are in a patient's room, you miss the
