I'm having the same problem here in California and it is terrible. At first getting cancelled once in awhile was nice, now its every week! And it's hurting my bank account. The census gets so low and everyone on my unit loses hours. I'm trying to fin...
Has anyone ever obtained or heard of a Certification as a Nurse Educator. The one I found is a short 3 day course but I was wondering of someone can really obtain a job involving nurse education with that.

Tell us a little bit more of the type of nursing you're doing right now. If it's bedside, maybe you need to just pull away from bedside nursing and focus on the things you like about your job and try something outside of patient care
I have 9months experience in medsurg/tele and i need another job right away. This job is causing me too much stress and I don't think I can do it anymore. I honestly want to leave hospital nursing alltogether and need some advice on how to get out! S...

I work in a smaller hospital so we don't have all those resources. And nope I can not confide in my preceptor. He's a guy in whom I have nothing in common with. I delegate, I call on my charge nurse, I talk to my cnas, all those things. I don't have ...

Honestly I don't perceive the way you do as "quitting". The way I see it is like trying to fit a puzzle piece into a space that doesn't belong there. It's about finding what's best for you so that you can give more to the people you're working for. M...

Oh no you misunderstood me, i've been working at my current job for 9months consecutively. My 1st job was over a year ago before I moved and started this one. As far as this job I have had a verbal warning bcuz I overlooked a medication. It's just...
Hi, I'm interested in learning what some people's reasons are for going back to school as an RN and what program you're entering. Trying to decide if that's the next step for me
Just thought I'd share to hear people's thoughts. I personally think its inaccurate. Follow the link and read this article, is about nursing being in demand
Hello, I recently interviewed for a great foster care public health position in the same county I attended school. It's a great opportunity but my boyfriend lives about 2hrs away in a different county. I eventually want to settle down with him possib...

I'm in the same place too! Been working in Med Surg for the past 8months but I want out. But I have no clue what kind of nursing I want to do, just as long as it's not Med-Surg
