For me its psych nurse case management. I work for the county and my schedule is Tuesday thru Friday 8-630pm. Pay is $75000 per year and its a super awesome job thats like 50/50 paperwork and attending psycj appointments/team meetings. I love love love my job, especially when compared to my previous 3 twelves in the hospital. No nights or weekends except six on call weekends per year via telephone. Plus you get government benefits

I worked full time with 18 plus credits including sciences and I had two part time jobs as well. You can do it if you stay organized.

Find out what you actually want to do. I wouldn't really recommend dialysis because it seems that their hours don't actually mesh well with being a parent. Hospice might be the better choice. Good luck!

My story is a little different because I initially LOVED my unit (neuro med/surg) and 4 years later I HATE IT. I caught on really quickly because I was a UC/CNA on my unit for 1 1/2 years and did all my clinicals in my hospital, but over the years the unit and hospital have changed and my unit has changed directors. These changes caused a mass exodus to different units and now my floor is all new grads. Every night is crazy and its such an unsupportive environment for new grads and for the more experienced nurses like myself who find it unacceptable. I am leaving the hospital altogether for an opportunity outside of direct patient care and maybe thats the answer for you, although I do think you should wait until a year has passed first.

I would imagine at some point you come across docs at night. I work night shift and I usually see at least ONE doc per shift.
-
Did you ask the Doc?

For a change of pace, for three years I worked the same schedule, frisatsun, and until this recent flu season that hadn't ever changed. Now with the heavy load I work a slightly adjusted schedule. There's no mandatory overtime, OT is available every day, and it's a pretty nice place to work. Wow, everything is not always so terrible everywhere guys. We also, gasp, never get turned down for vacation time!

I would hold it and mention it to the doc. I'm not tanking a bp just because there is no parameter.
-
I did it and I would've gotten A's in both but ended up with a B+ in micro because I got the flu right before our midterm. Taking micro and AP2 with other classes totaling 19 credits was hard but I still managed.

I have gone to help out in other people's patients codes but I've only had one code blue on my own pt. It was a 92 year old pt whose family was in denial. I drew labs and recorded and that was it. We have a code team so we don't do much if it's not compressions or recording.
