pthelper777 BSN, RN

So, you wanted to know more about C-diff? We'll start here.

I don't think I read 1 response here that was kind, nor gentle. It's no wonder where the saying, "Nurses eat their young" comes from. From OP's comments she is either s young nurse or gets the short end of the stick due to being a flost nurse and is...

Why would a nurse/NP want to? Very different philosophies.

I would love that situation. Better to have a progressive orientation than be thrown to the wolves and left to fend for yourself.

I am a 1st year RN doing what I thought was my dream job. I'm in my 40s, went back to school to obtain my BSN to become an ED/ER Nurse - its been my dream since I was in high school. The only problem is that my job is physically making me sick (afte...

I did end up leaving and getting a great job as a Filed Case Manager working from home and traveling to patients' appointments. Loving the new job, been at it for 9 months. It allows me to build rapport with my clients, providers and vendors. I abs...

I will be starting my first Case Managemet job in June. I will also be working from home & traveling to meet injured workers at appointments, visiting work sites & such. Thanks for your artlicle and breakdown of your day. Any additional tips ...

PThelper777 = patient helper and 777 for the Lord. I hope to be a blessing to all I come in contact with and help them through what they are going through. I picked it when I was still in nursing school. I graduated last May 2015 and continue to h...

Thank you so much for your honest insight. I will be starting my first WC Field Case Management position in June. I'm hoping to enjoy it as I have 18 years of WC Claims Experience, 7 of which was supervising both adjusters and Tele. case managers. ...

That's so funny! I've been in it for 1 year (ED/Trauma) and I could have written this myself! My biggest issue is not the patients or their family member, or even coworkers (I really loved my coworkers), it was mismanagement of the entire department....

Hi all! ER nursing has been my dream since I was in high school over 25 years ago. I recently went to school (4 years with a hubby & 3 kids) and graduated with high honors with my BSN. Now I've been working for almost 1 year at a level 2 trauma c...

Hi all! I love allnurses.com because there are so many caring, insightful nurses on here that are willing to give their input (good and bad) on all sorts of topics. (Thanks in advance everyone!) Here's my dilemma I'm a first year ED (Emergency/Trauma...

Thank you so much Fostercatmom! My husband and I were discussing continuing my PRN job and working 2 shifts a month, which is another option. Yes, wear and tear is a concern, although they do give milage reimbursement and there are also bonus incenti...

I love the aspect of learning with every patient, every experience. Im on nightshift & live the nurses I work with but d/t loss og quite a few experienced night nurse a lot of times its new grads I'm with at night & I feel as though there's ...

I feel overwhemed. I love when I'm chugging along & I'm productive & efficient. I don't like feeling as I don't know what to do with a patient...if I'm not sure what to do. Usually when Im over my head. Thank you for asking me what i don't li...

So, I got the job, it will be PRN as I wanted AND I gave my notice at my current job. Although, I will also be staying on PRN. I will be working 2 days per week, alternating weeks between my current job and my new job. I thought it may be best to ...

Gypsyd8, Are there groups leaving out of Southeastern NC that will be going to this Rally in May? I'd love to go but would prefer to go with an organized group. How can I find out if there are any organized caravans going from my area. Thanks! Than...

I also feel like my debate (to stay or stick it out) has become an obsession that consumes most of my waking hours. Because I really don't know what to do. I am thrilled you have an interview lined up. Best wishes to you and I hope we both find our "...

Thank you for your honesty and for the Blessing. I will continue to pray for guidance. I have prayed that He closes all doors He does not want me to go through and I found out today that I did not get the job I interviewed for. I will keep on, keepin...

Thank you so much for your insight and wisdom! I too am a devout Christian and believe that the Lord placed nursing on my heart years ago, while in high school. I pray and seek His counsel continually and am really torn about leaving. I think this ma...

I totally get it and am aware. Thank you!

I'm holding on to my resignation letter until I have that interview next week. Thank you so much for your insight! I really appreciate it!

Oh gosh DannibeeRN, your scenario would just be ideal for me! I work nights so I tend to get teary-eyed when its time to go, not only because I'm miserable, but also because I hate having to leave my family at dinner time. Thank you so much for you...

As I replied on the post before, I totally get it that you are less attractive when not currently hired. I'm willing to volunteer and help others (that's why I became a nurse in the first place), while I look for another job. Yes, our family could m...
