  3. Take the higher paying PRN job or part time low paying job

    missladyrn replied to pnkgirl25's topic in General Nursing

    I'd take the psych job. It seems like an obvious choice to me. It pays more, you want to work in psych and, and there are 12 locations so you will get to see a lot. I would not take the job you know...

  8. Quitting nursing

    missladyrn replied to sbostonRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the hardest thing is admitting to yourself that it does not make you happy. You have already done that. If you think you are happier in your old setting, I say go for it! You explored a little...

  9. Advice/ opinions

    missladyrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Now let me start by saying, the ONLY time I have ever spoken to my boss in person was at my interview. So in the last year we have communicated solely via email. I work nights and she works days. I am...

  10. Curious about what your job offers

    missladyrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, it is 2012. Nursing, at least in my hospital, seems to be a heavily female dominated profession although I think that is changing. Looking at my own situation, I was sort of saddened to see that...

    missladyrn replied to DeLana_RN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It takes me months to get used to a night schedule, but I ca flip back to days in a week. My body naturally likes to be a morning person. I feel better going to bed early and getting up at the crack...

  12. Very inappropriate!

    missladyrn replied to Erikadawn RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would be calling that recruiter ASAP and asking for some type of explanation and telling her what a spot she put you in. She is the one that had the breach in judgement to even tell your boss. I'd...

  15. Why are new nurses treated poorly?

    missladyrn replied to rnckr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ONce you have more experience, you will be able to handle those other 1/3. For now, do your best but don't let them walk all over you either. I treat people the same way they treat me. I am not going...

  16. Accepted an offer but got a better one...burning bridges!?

    missladyrn replied to Megasa's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Part of being an adult is having the difficult conversations in a professional way. Make sure you have the other offer and it is solid, then call and apologize, don't waste anymore of their time. Do...

  17. Discrimination & Whistle blowing - Would you hire this nurse again?

    missladyrn replied to SunshineSmile's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would not hire anyone with a history of filing multiple lawsuits. It is easy to find trouble when you are looking for it. Also you working every Sunday and having every Saturday off means another...

    missladyrn replied to coopman712's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I bought that same one Chisca recommends on half.com I never did actually read it. What company will you work for? They should have plenty of training material available. We got all kinds of training...

  20. How long did it take you to start liking your job?

    missladyrn replied to KaeliF's topic in General Nursing

    I am 9 months in and I finally have more good days than bad. Overall I still would not say I LIKE it per se. I doubt I ever will. At least, I am fairly certain that med surg is not my

  21. Movin on

    missladyrn replied to DizzyLizzyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Some places do phone interviews if you are out of state. I would apply early to a bunch of places. I would not move until you have a job unless you have a lot of savings. Can you stay with family or...
