    Day/Night Rotation?

    Soliloquy replied to Bluebolt's topic in Travel

    I do this now but I'm use to it from my staff job. It's a nice change of pace and I'm glad one particular shift wasn't written into my contract because I was super depressed and stressed out on day...

    Exhausted Med-Surg Nurse

    Soliloquy replied to Soliloquy's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm glad you said that because I think that's exactly what I'm looking for, less stress but a reasonable challenge. Nursing isn't a bad experience but I don't want nursing to consume me. I use to...

    Soliloquy replied to Soliloquy's topic in Medical-Surgical

    That is true. I applied for a night shift position in labor and delivery for now and while waiting, I'll try to finish out my assignment on night shift and then take a month off so I can recuperate...

    Exhausted Med-Surg Nurse

    Soliloquy replied to Soliloquy's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm thinking maybe if it's specialized then I can focus on one thing as opposed to a a bunch. Maybe if I do something more specific then I'd like it more. At least I can't kick myself for trying. I...

    Thanks goose creek! I hope it's a slower pace too.

    Soliloquy replied to Soliloquy's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I thought about critical care but I feel like if I head in that direction then it's definitely the wrong direction for me. At least in terms of adults and pediatrics. I chose med surg because it was...

    Hey Libby, I love the traveling part of it. But I just absolutely hate the med-surg. I'm not sure if I'm ready for home health as I'm not sure I know enough to teach people in their homes. Idk what...

    Help a Stressed New Med-Surg Nurse

    Soliloquy replied to newRNinthecity's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Quite Frankly, med-surg is hard! The amount of patients you get plus the fact that the level of acuity you get isn't guaranteed and the patients can quickly change at any time plus the rotating door...

    I just went ahead and paid off my smallest debt of $3600. I'm kind of crying on the inside right now. I didn't think parting with some of my savings would be so

    Is your emergency fund in addition to the savings? Or is the savings separate from the emergency

    Soliloquy replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds amazing and is exactly what I was thinking about today. (p.s I started reading Total Money Makeover). Only $1k in my emergency fund makes me VERY nervous because: 1. I'm a travel nurse and...

    Maryjean, I think it's those little things that I need to be more conscious of. The vast majority of my spending goes towards buying food and I recently read an article that said that Americans are...

    Hmmmm....I'm thinking about this. I have more than 6 months of savings already not including my investments in stocks. But I wasn't sure. I guess I could do more. I'll try it this

    At this point, if I buy a home, it will be a townhouse (i hear they're easier to sell than condos) and then I'd rent it out so that I'm not paying for all of that out of pocket. I kind of would like...

    That's good because you had a goal in mind. I think my biggest barrier has been mental in that I think that at my age I'm suppose to be more social (even though I'm an introvert) but I want to get...

    Should I put my savings on hold? Right now I put 50% of my weekly income into savings and then 50% into my loans (after the weekly payments are taken out and after taking $100 for myself). I'm like...

    Working Out 6- 7 days a week

    Soliloquy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm tired of hearing myself complain about being tired all the time! And I know this has to do with not working out. I want to restore my energy and get back in shape. I'm in my early/mid-20s and feel...
