I have been at this GI office/clinics for a little over a week and I'm contemplating leaving. I have 7 years experience in the hospital in surgery and IR experience and this is first time in clinic but has been VERY stressful. I have been running a c...

I was thinking of interviewing for a weekend hospice nursing job. I'm new to the hospice world as my experience is in OR nursing and Interventional Radiology but I'm sick of working 5 10-12hr M-F days and doing 4 days of call a week. I like the idea ...

Its been a challenge and I have been constantly compared to the nurse I replaced. How great she was and how she did it all. It's frustrating.

Apparently we aren't allowed any overtime or will be written up. So apparently I'm suppose to have everything done at end of day. So can't stay late to learn.

Wow that's crazy. I really go into work having no idea what or how to do my job. I try asking other nurses for help and I think some are very new too and as clueless as I. It's a different specialty and definitely not like the hospital so has been ve...

I just finished my first week in a very busy multi doctor clinic. Each doctor has their own clinic within the clinic. The nurse I replaced I got to "train" with her for a couple of hours the first day but that has been it. I've been expected to run t...

Yeah there's no assistance or IT department. Yeah no orientation at all..it's been interesting. I can really honestly say I've never had a job with NO orientation in my entire career.

I currently work in Interventional Radiology department and I HATE it. The big factor is the work hours. Of course when I interviewed HR told me it would be m-f morning 8hr shifts and every 4th weekend for call. Well I have been working 5 10-12hr shi...

Our child care has been costing $400/month total for both kids. He works full time hours with PRN status. I know he said if he goes full time he would take a pay cut vs PRN pay. When he asked at work about going full time status they said they didn't...

My husband is supportive on whatever I want to do. I know he hasn't liked my work schedule either and has definitely taken its toll on my family.

Hey I think being active in my children life from baby stage to teenage is important. I'm not going to lie working 5 10-12hr days plus every other weekend and call doesn't exactly light my fire. I would rather have the time with my kids then make lar...

Trying to decide if worth taking cut in salary to have more flexibility and learn new area of nursing. But I understand I need money to survive as well.

From base salary.

Yes I definitely get OT at current job but it does get taxed to death too. The new job I know is salaried with end of year bonus. But still would be less than what I make. Again was looking at the other benefits and more time with my babies. I like m...

Yes I have experience. Forgot to mention husband works PRN but full time hours. I thought about buying insurance if went PRN.

I started job and on orientation period and have been working M-F 10-12hr days plus every other weekend call and four days a week of call regularly. Of course that was not told to me on my interview. So I hate my schedule and not really liking my job...

I was looking into CRNA school and it mentions having critical care experience. I currently work in Interventional Radiology and prior worked in Outpatient Surgery as circulator and PACU. I wasn't sure if all of those counted as "critical care" exper...

I just started a new job in a different department/area of nursing than my background. Im in a critical care nursing area. I feel discouraged as I thought I was doing better than what was told to me yesterday at meeting with manager and Charge Nurse....

Yeah I didn't like not knowing that I'm messing up until a meeting with Charge and manager. They have had me orienting with different people and one nurse does things one way and charge does things differently. It's hard trying to learn when things a...

I was considering CRNA school but didn't know if Interventional Radiology was considered critical care experience. Or if it was just ICU. We do moderate sedation, work with ventilation patients and do tPA, nitro and heparin drips but only for limited...

My family and I were looking to relocate to the LA area from FL. The pay in FL is awful for nurses..def not good with matching cost of living. How is the job market out there for RNs? I have 4 years experience and have BSN with BLS, ACLS and PALS. My...

Hey all..Johns Hopkins has expressed interest in employing me and a few other hospitals. How is it at Johns Hopkins? I hear they have a great reputation but don't know much about working for the hospital. How is living in Baltimore? Are the salary an...

I applied to VA clinic exactly one month ago. Or when position closed. How long does it take to hear back from them regarding an interview or job? Does it normally take awhile or should I assume I didn't get the job? I feel like I have the proper qua...

I applied to VA clinic exactly one month ago. Or when position closed. How long does it take to hear back from them regarding an interview or job? Does it normally take awhile or should I assume I didn't get the job? Should I give up hope? Every time...

Yeah the closing date was a month ago today. I frequently check usajobs and right now my status is still application received. I was just wondering if process really that slow or do I just hang it up
