Well,I met with the L&D manager and she was really nice. The only problem was they only have part time night positions open at this time. I was kind of bummed, but also a bit relieved. We talked for quite a while and she is going to keep my resume in her file for open day positions ( I have day care issues). She said she has people who have worked there for 20-30 years. They must love it! At least i made a step and if anything else comes along i may go for it. Thanks for the advice. -Linda

I cried everyday during my orientation. It is a very stressful place!! I was a new grad but with 10 years experience of respiratory therapy at the time. I've been there 4 years and am looking for a change. You get tired after a while, but you will learn so much.

I am currently a intermediate care cardiac RN. I specialize in postop open hearts and get a variety of other med/surg patients on my floor. I've been there for 4 years and i am miserable now. I'm tired of the clicks, being overworked, working shortstaffed and tired of the type of patients we've been getting lately. Mostly medical trainrecks. I know- it sounds like everywhere else in the world! I've been having problems with the manager and i feel it's time for a change. I applied as a Labor and Delivery nurse and i have an interview set up. I am scared to death!! I want to know if the grass is greener in maternity and if people are generally happy there. I'm comfortable in cardiac, but definitely need a change. Do you think that would be a drastic move on my part in switching areas? I don't know what to do. -Linda
