    Confused and Depressed about Performance

    RosesrReder replied to drinndalynn's topic in General Nursing

    I am assuming you're a new grad. The first year is hard, acute care is hard and nightshift is hard. It takes about a year or so to feel like you got this. Seems like your preceptor may not be a...

    Why is OR so common for travel?

    RosesrReder replied to Aliens05's topic in Travel

    OR training is long and expensive. At my place it is one year. It consists of periop 101 course and orientation to all lines of service. I work in a very rural hospital with limited staff,...

    New grad only night shift available

    RosesrReder replied to NurseSara's topic in General Nursing

    They can and totally will can you. As a new grad that is an expense to a hospital (new grad orientation) you are not in a position with much negotiating power. The assumption that a position was...

    Leaving before 1 year? Don't know what to do..

    RosesrReder replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, stay. 6 months will be here in a blink of an eye and by then you will have that year and a BSN. Make it your short-term goal. Much

    12-Hour Shift | Life of a Nurse

    RosesrReder replied to Susan E.'s topic in Nurses Rock

    My day is nowhere near that but I run from case to case and then never get to go home because my call shift starts at 1901. Or, I am barely reaching home or attempting to sleep when I must jump out...

    You Can Smoke in the Operating Room!

    RosesrReder replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    This is a major health concern but in my right to work state I don’t see this changing anytime soon. I have chronic bronchitis and upper respiratory issues since working in the OR. I am concerned...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    RosesrReder replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital uses first name and title only. A tag that hangs past your badge for nurse leader or educator but nothing more. We’re lucky if most patients can even read the tiny print. We don’t...

    Bedside Nurses: Undervalued, Poorly Retained and What Experts Say

    RosesrReder replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I ran away from the floor into surgery. It was great for a while until burnout hit hard when I found myself working 20+ hours of callback on top of my 40. I never disconnect from work. Work like an...

    Capella for MSN

    RosesrReder replied to spmarkemail's topic in School, College Programs

    Does Capella have that disclaimer? I have met a few Capella graduates (coworkers) that have had zero issues but they did leadership. Hope someone can chime in and provide some

    Work from home as a RN

    RosesrReder replied to PurpleScrubs's topic in Nursing Career

    You are going to need childcare for any work from home job that is legit. Why not go PRN at a hospital and maybe do a few night shifts a month. Per Diem positions usually pay more since they don't...

    RosesrReder replied to gcjones0823's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Where to start? lol I personally got tired of all the talk and no action. Tired of putting my license at risk and tired of going home feeling unfulfilled and like I didn't make a difference. I work...

    Why is there a 7 year limit on prerequisites for nursing?

    RosesrReder replied to mdwatkins13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good Lord! Suing the school? That is a little extreme. No one is stopping you from applying to other programs. If and when you graduate nursing school, you will be in for the shock of the lifetime....

    RosesrReder replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing clearly isn’t what it used to but neither are the person going into nursing. So many are getting non nursing graduate degrees and then getting that RN just to add to the collection. No...

    New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

    RosesrReder replied to Ashley Karanja's topic in General Nursing

    Don't do it. It is not worth your mental health and then physical. This career is not for everyone and unfortunately, most don't realize it until they are far into it and try it out for themselves....

    There are many key concepts here. Location seems to not be ideal for the position you want. Sometimes you have to go the extra mile and really venture out into the world instead of wondering what...

    Pay in Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater?

    RosesrReder replied to Swellz's topic in Florida Nursing

    Extremely low. I was offered $23-26 with 10+ hospital experience. Cost of living is actually cheaper where I was moving from than Fl and the pay was $12/hr less. I couldn't do it. Good

    RosesrReder replied to OR Dude's topic in Operating Room

    You keep talking about the CRNA over and over. Not all places hire them. My OR only uses board certified anesthesiologists since the beginning of time. No CRNAs ever. Moot
