On another post someone wrote that many times they would like to leave nursing but don't know where else to go..I completely identify with that statement and wondered...are we, as nurses, pigeonholed by our degree? Many times nurses will try to work ...

A coworker of mine was offered a hospice position for a small company that has not been in business much over a year. They told her the census is "less than 10" so at this point she would work M-F 8:00- 5:00 plus take call every night and weekend unt...

Average hourly rate for RN's in Ga is $30/hr. Some places higher, some lower depending on specialty, experience, degree etc..as far as housing goes, that is also highly dependent on where you live. Warner Robins is a military town, busy..as it ATL. T...

She met with the hiring CEO again..promises were made but the basics were still the same. She declined the position.

Not sure what you meant by suspicious of the place not getting more business..but I agree..she said the salary is "a little over 70/yr" but the benefits I don't know about - she didn't say. Didn't think about her getting paid regardless of salary..ju...

That's what I think will happen in her case...that she will end up being burnt out and basically working everyday - especially since she is the only RN. Thank you for the reply.

I'll pass this along..thanks

I posted a questions re: hospice call yesterday..someone I work w/has been offered a high salary FT M-F position w/a very small local hospice. They are telling her she will be the RN on call nights/weekends/holidays in addition to work the M-F regula...

There is an inpatient psych facility in my area and I know someone who works there..the staffing you describe is very much like there..she has techs and LPN's that work with her but she is the only RN. The MD or NP will make rounds once a week as wel...

Am curious to what you all think about working as a nurse (or any healthcare provider in general) with mental health issues and how shift work helps/hurts you in managing your mental health...have you found working 8 hour shifts or 12 hour shifts b...

I work in an outpatient GI clinic (MD owned)..narcs are counted before the first procedure and after the last one. Fent & Versed are used, sometimes Demerol &/or Phenergan. It's conscious sedation done by an RN - no Nurse Anesthetist . Yes, b...

kt1109 you can always stay PRN where you are or somewhere else & take the outpatient clinic position..having NICU on yoru resume, at least where I live, makes you highly desirable for employment so returning to a hospital setting wouldn't be that...

I have worked both..I am soon to return to 12 hour shifts by choice. I have found that working a M-F or even M- Thur 8 hour days are really 9-10 hours & I am more tired, more stressed than I was working the 12hours. I also like having some flexib...

I would apply to AT if I were you and go from there..you have already spoken to someone at AT who said you should be fine with reapplying..if admissions has questions I'm sure they will ask you..with any accredited college classes that are failed or ...

Given you never worked as a nurse - it sounds that way from the post above - you would be viewed as a new grad I'd think and like others have stated, one that didn't continue right out of school to find a position..refresher course would be helpful b...

I'd think w/as specialized as your skill set is you would be able to maintain steady work PRN - you can always let it be known you are willing - if you are - to work other units. Another option would be to do local travel contract. I use to work PRN ...

My only comment is you seem to have a LOT of anxiety..about what is happening, could happen, did happen, accidents, not being able to get help, etc. As another poster said, you may want to take a closer look at this issue..SOME anxiety is normal of c...

I have worked both hospice and HH..if call is a deal breaker for you then HH would be the way to go because unlike hospice, most HH calls were not something you would go out for - in HH if there is an emergency the patient goes to the ER,calls 9-1-1 ...

In the southern states this salary isn't unusual..or less..wages aren't very good here - at least not in Georgia.

I know, I know..another "which job should I chose" post - I really am stuck and would like other nurses/healthcare opinions since this group really understands...I've "overthought" these offers until I have reached the point of stalemate... Option 1 ...

Right now, to just have a steady income and a work/life balance...for me, that is what has been missing for a long while...long term, down the road maybe (maybe!) move back into a management position but if I did decide to do that I know 100% the hos...

Worked at Northside in the past - very nice hospital, treats employees well..hiring process takes some time but worth it. They have multiple locations..ATL hospital traffic is horrendous.

You will see a lot of posts on here about the benefits of 12 hour shifts versus 8 hour shifts (M-F). I've worked both and frankly depending on where I was in life at the time, it's why I worked one or the other. Maybe the job you have now fit a year ...
